DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dorota Wójciak\, CERES guest researcher\n\nThe P
 odhale highlanders (Górale podhalańscy) constitute the most recognizable
  ethnic group in Poland. They are known for their lively folklore\, commit
 ment to tradition and collective Catholic rituals celebrated with great sp
 lendour. During my field research in the Podhale region\, I attended many 
 religious ceremonies and conducted dozens of individual and group intervie
 ws with highlanders about their attitudes to various forms of celebrating 
 religious rituals and holidays and the transformation of religiosity in th
 eir parishes. The focus of my interest was the attitude of Podhale highlan
 ders towards the specific information communicated in the ritual: the info
 rmation about its participants (both as individuals and as a group).  Alt
 hough such information is not covered by the canon\, it is an important pa
 rt of any collective ritual. Inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce's concepts
 \, American anthropologist Roy Rappaport called the messages in which the 
 above-mentioned information is communicated self-referential messages and 
 noted that they rely primarily on indices. In my presentation\, I will out
 line what kind of self-referential messages are recognized and discussed b
 y the Podhale highlanders and how they made an axiological assessment of s
 uch messages communicated in the ritual. I will also point out some differ
 ences in the assessments made by believers of different ages.\n\nIf you ar
