MULTICULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE MEMORY OF LOWER SILESIA. A STUDY OF SELECTED SITES OF MEMORY
Full text linkTh e topic of text is the problem of Prussian cultural heritage of Lower Silesia, seen from two diff erent perspectives. First, the historical moment of this heritage appearing is introduced and second, the way of its contemporary presence and connected cultiural problems. As a key study were discussed from both perspectives: evangelical church in Karpacz so-called Wang Temple (brought in fi rst half of XIX-th century by Prussian king Wilhelm III from Norway) – nowadays under protection of polish evangelical parish; also: life and charity work of Marianna Orańska – owner of the castle in Kamieniec Ząbkowicki and neighbourhood grounds – nowadays touristic route leading on the borderland of Poland and Czech Republic, following in Marianna’s steps and history of evangelical community from Tyrol, brought to Mysłakowice by Prussian king Wilhelm III – nowadays Tyrol’s House lead by Zierthall commune from Austria
BETWEEN APOLOGY AND REFUSAL, BETWEEN PERSUASION AND MANIPULATION - ANDREJ HLINKA IN THE FORMING OF THE INSTITUTIONALIZED MEMORY OF THE SLOVAK COMMUNITY II
Full text linkChanges in evaluation of Andrej Hlinka when making eff orts to form systemically the thinking of children and adolescents have in principle the same stages and milestones as the milestones of writing about Hlinka in the Slovak historical science, however, the dispute with respect to Hlinka in the area of education reached more remarkable even bizarre dimensions. Th is is proven by diff erences between offi cial texts of school textbooks, teaching aids published in the period of 1919-2013 and individual memory of adolescents which can be found in the whole above mentioned period in spite of the absence of relevant sources.Textbooks of interwar national (state) schools are characterized in particular by neglecting Hlinka, which is clearly visible when comparing the representation of other much less signifi - cant personalities of the modern Slovak history in their texts; however, we cannot state that this fact was aff ected only by the period doctrine (Czechoslovakism and republicanism). Moreover, we are still less aware of the impact of church schools of that period. A principal change of the paradigm in the image of Andrej Hlinka created for the young generation (aft er a typical boom of interim period of the First Slovak Republic) took place only aft er 1948 (and lasted until 1989). The analysis of texts in the textbooks of the related subjects should be included in the research of history textbooks; however, even now we can notice typical features of the displacement even elimination of Hlinka’s personality from curricula, as well as its methodologically and didactically incorrect form (the use of Hlinka’s Slovak National Party without explanation of the notion “A.H.” etc.). It is still questionable to what extent this image, similarly as in historiography, has been formed besides ideological factors by the weakness of the Slovak methodology of history. Another even more serious question is a suffi ciently verifi ed analysis of Andrej Hlinka’s popularity which is apparent among young generations of the period before and aft er revolution having minimum information about his personality acquired from offi cial (formal) education.
THE FUNCTIONING OF THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF LOWER SILESIANS WITHIN THE MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY OF BORNE SULINOWO
Full text linkIn the context of multiculturalism, the processes of seeking and creating of collective identity of the local community are quite specifi c. In these processes, it is the collective memory that plays a major role as a deciding and organizing factor of the integration of the community at all levels. A town unique – Borne Sulinowo – has existed within the state borders for only 21 years now. In the past, it was a military base of for the Third Reich, and aft er the World War II, it served as a military base for Soviet Army. Th e community of Borne Sulinowo is still in the process of seeking of its identity and its place in history. In 1993, when the town was created and organized, the prospective citizens came from 36 regions of Poland. Th e interesting process of entering of incoming people into the new achitectural and cultural space, the space which never belonged to the cultural heritage of Poland, has begun. People from diff erent backgrounds, diff erentiated in view of the place where they came from, in view of age, profession, education and life experience, were trying to accustom the new space. Th e process of shaping the local community in Borne Sulinowo is still in progress and has not fi nished yet. One of the major factor that infl uence the above mentioned process is the collective memory of particular groups of people, such as the groups from Upper and Lower Silesia or Western Pomerania
