Rituál a každodenné spotrebiteľské praktiky na českom a poľskom vidieku: pochopenie modernity prostredníctvom zmien v stravovacích návykoch
Ritual and everyday consumption practices in the Czech and Polish countryside: conceiving modernity through changing food regimes

Summary/Abstract: In this study we are raising questions about connection which exist, across historical periods, between ideologies of modernity and tradition and about the disjuncture between them. To some extent at least disjuncture in the contexts with which are concerned is associated with the end of communism: what does it mean to leave behind the practices that developed during fifty years of socialist planning and the concurrent socialist constructions of a particular type of modernity? In the cases of Poland and Czech Republic, these links and ruptures could be considered at the level of the individual, the family, the local and the national.
