TY - GEN N1 - 25 cm N2 - This article describes typical Sunday activities of the inhabitants of Lomé, with a focus on leisure activities performed in public space, like doing sport or attending religious celebrations and social gatherings. These activities are different not only from the routine concerns of the rest of the week, but also from the ways of spending one’s free time in smaller towns and villages. This is due mainly to the very nature of a big city, which, as a privileged subject of globalization processes, absorbs global modern trends and ideologies, ensures anonymity and promotes individualism. Irrespective of their social and material status, people do sport or participate in religious celebrations in various churches, sects and denominations, whose appeal depends on people’s expectations: healing, prosperity, grace, spiritual strength. Sunday provides opportunity for building a civic society, finding its outlets in many various associations which organize leisure activities for their members L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/54883/PDF/WA308_75349_P714_Niedziela-w-metropol_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Journal of Urban Ethnology 12 (2014) PY - 2014 EP - 207 KW - city KW - leisure KW - religion KW - Togo A1 - Pawlik, Jacek Jan PB - Instytut Archeologii i Etnologii PAN VL - 12 CY - Kraków SP - 195 T1 - Niedziela w metropolii Lomé UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/54883 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - In Lomé, as in wintertime in Europe, life in the public space dies after heavy rains. The article presents Lomé in the peak of the rainy season, especially during floods. In many districts people struggle with the effects of flooding, flooded homes, impassable streets, mustiness and lack of drinking water. How do people react to their fate? What associations are aroused by the flood situation? Who is blamed for the plight? What are the proposed solutions? In the first part, the author shows the natural substrate of floods in the context of anarchic construction and chaotic development of the city. Next, the economic and social impactsof flooding are discussed. In the third part of the article, attention is drawn to the comments of inhabitants non the causes and effects of floods as well as their opinions on the effectiveness of state authorities in emergency situations L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/64948/PDF/WA308_84269_P714_Klimat-a-codziennosc_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Climate and everyday life.

Życie w mieście Lomé podczas powodzi UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/64948 ER - TY - GEN N1 - 25 cm N2 - African towns have been developing quite rapidly in the course of the last decades, especially since individual countries became independent states. The capital city of Togo, Lomé, is no exception. Its somewhat chaotic growth, however, with extensive suburbs spreading ever further from the city proper, renders communication between them problematic. The economic and social advantages of the city centre increasingly fail to offset losses incurred on account of the need to commute between the centre and the peripheries. Hence many city districts are being transformed, to a large degree, into self-sufficient “islands” in the city archipelago. The case study of the present article, the town of Agoènyivé, lies in the close vicinity of Lomé. Research on the demographic, political and social factors accompanying the development of Lomé indicates that they do not create particularly favourable conditions for a potential transformation of the city into an urban archipelago. In fact, the case study indicates the opposite: since the city centre expands, Agoènyivé becomes less peripheral L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/54827/PDF/WA308_75265_P714_Miejscowosc-Agoenyiv_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Journal of Urban Ethnology 11 (2013) PY - 2013 EP - 34 KW - urban anthropology KW - Togo KW - Lomé KW - urban development KW - centre-periphery A1 - Pawlik, Jacek Jan PB - Instytut Archeolgoii i Etnologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk VL - 11 CY - Warszawa SP - 25 T1 - Miejscowość Agoènyivé wobec dynamiki rozwoju metropolii Lomé UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/54827 ER - TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - The process of settling within a space in traditional agricultural societies takes place at the cosmic and social level. Its aim is to unite the invisible forces that govern the earth and to set up a framework for procreation in accordance with the accepted principles of marriage. The article is based on research conducted among the Konkomba people from North Togo, who settled in the vast area of the Oti Valley about 200 years ago. It is a typically acephalous society, characterized by a large dispersion of settlements and political independence of families. The occupation of new areas was related to the creation of a symbolic reference to the land and by the construction of homesteads and housing estates as spaces of life, with the confirmation of ties between family members as well as between the living and dead relatives. The intimacy of the house, the rituals regulating human relationships and fertility provided by the ancestors and the spirits governing the earth, enable the Konkombas to feel safe in everyday life L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/113611/PDF/WA308_141988_P714_Kosmiczne-i-spoleczn_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - The cosmic and social dimensions of the process of settling within a space.
