Piosenka i rytmy nowoczesności. Nad Sekwaną i nad Wisłą
Song and the Rhythms of Modernity at the Seine and Vistula Rivers

Summary/Abstract: The article recalls the figures of Pierre-Jean de Béranger and Soter Antoni Rozbicki – the 19th-century creators of the first modern songs as well as their strategies. Both of them, even though under different political circumstances and in diverging context of (Polish and French) cultures, created songs for the community of the city inhabitants from the time of modernisa- tion. The social functioning of these songs and their fate reflect the processes connected to the modernity: formation of the new type of listeners, as well as status establishment of an author and performer of their own songs as an independent observer and commenter of the reality.
