Współczesne rytuały przejścia z dzieciństwa do dorosłości: baśń o Śpiącej Królewnie

In the paper, I make references to the psychological process of passing from childhood to adulthood. In contemporary times, this process is spread in time, its boundaries are blurry and it is difficult to find in it the primordial initiation rituals known among primitive tribes. I call these phenomena the Sleeping Beauty syndrome, and compare the contemporary rites of passage from childhood to adulthood to this very fairy tale, in particular to its psychological readings. The theoretical framework for my considerations is based on a selection of anthropological rite concepts and elements of methodological concepts of studying fairy tales, such as structural and psychoanalytical approaches. My psychopedagogical analysis of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale through the category rite of passage thus begins with defining this category underlining the possibility of using it in various sciences and referring to the fairy tale as a contemporary space for ritual initiation experience.

CHRONOMETRY OF LATE ENEOLITHIC AND ‘EARLY BRONZE’ CULTURES IN THE MIDDLE DNIESTER AREA: INVESTIGATIONS OF THE YAMPIL BARROW COMPLEX

The paper discusses the 2010-2015 studies of the radiocarbon chronology of Podolia ‘barrow cultures’ on the left bank of the middle dniester . The studies have relied on series of 14 C dates for the Klembivka 1, Pidlisivka 1, Porohy 3a and Prydnistryanske 1 sites determined in Kyiv and Poznań laboratories . They are the first attempt to construct a regional (‘Yampil’) radiocarbon scale for ‘Early Bronze’ funerary rites (4th/3rd-2nd millennium BC) as practised by barrow builders – the communities of the Tripolye and Yamnaya cultures – and the secondary barrow users – the designers of necropolises located on barrows – belonging to the Catacomb, Babyno and Noua cultures.
