Search for: [Abstract = "In this article, based on the ethnographic fieldwork conducted in a Mazovian village, Poland, in 2015–2016, I show how local inhabitants and second home owners from Warsaw cooperate and how they cope with difficulties and conflicts arising from their differences. Showing the changes in mutual help and relations occurring during the last 80 years, I follow the ways in which they locate their own groups within the whole Polish society as well as the ways they attempt \(and often fail\) to cooperate with each other. One of the successful strategies is maintaining ‘favour friendships’ between members of both groups, which has been a traditional way to coexist in such social circumstances, but tends to disappear in the last decades, due to intensive social changes in Poland."]
