Koleżanki z Birkenau : esej o pamiętaniu
No full textThe friends from the title of this book are a group of female prisoners of KL Auschwitz-Birkenau (1943–1945), whose paths crossed several times during around two years of camp life in Birkenau. At different times they lived in one block of the women’s camp, slept in one bunk, together left Auschwitz to work in the Wolkenburg camp, and several of them escaped together from transport to Dachau, from a freight wagon, at the small German station of Weiden. Together they also survived one of the most beautiful, as they say, periods in their lives – a few months of miraculously regained freedom, spent in Weiden under the protection of the American army. Several of them also took a long, difficult journey home.
Preserved memories of three of these friends – including the Mother of the book’s author, are the central axis of this essay. It presents the process of shaping the way of perceiving the world and the identity of individuals who came across actions aimed to annihilate human beings. They came into contact with the essence of a concentration camp, which was based on depriving people of all rights and even exterminating them.
The approach chosen by the author is the biographical method which focuses on the study of what is individual, related to assessments, values, experiences. It is a book about trying to find an answer to the question of how it happened that some people expressed indescribable cruelty to other people and decided to dehumanize and annihilate them. The book is also about the forces you must find in yourself in order to survive such an experience and start living an ordinary life afterwards.
The author’s intention is to bring the recorded memories of the Friends to a possibly wide audience, to the public sphere and also, or perhaps above all, to the consciousness of those whose way of thinking is far from scientific

Globalizacja a pogranicze : przypadek szczególny Śląska Cieszyńskiego
No full textGlobalisation under the conditions of the ethnocultural borderland assumes a special form. The article illustrates the problem using Cieszyn Silesia, i.e. the Polish and Czech borderland as an example. In this territory the problem of identity of individuals and so- cial groups, who live on the border of many cultures, in constant contact with the „other”, is particularly evident. An intensive exchange process of cultural elements in the course of constant and direct contacts is also characteristic. In this way a specific transborder atmosphere is created, with various cultural, social and economic contacts over the poli- tical borders of the neighbouring states. Cultural syncretism of the inhabitants of such an area and the ability to freely move in both cultural spaces is one of the features of these transborder relations. A change of attitudes, including the shortening of the ethnic distance between both neighbouring national groups, is the result of the „open border” after the accession of Poland and the Czech Republic to the European Union. These phenomena have been favoured by the continuous local border traffic, which leads to transgressive behaviour, i.e. transgressing many existing ethnic, cultural and social barriers. Against this background the author presents a new function of the Polish-Czech border as an im- portant factor linking rather than dividing people
Nonheteronormative protagonist in the novel "Upon the black water" by Halina Górska
No full textArtykuł koncentruje się na wizerunku nieheteronormatywnego bohatera w powieści Nad czarną wodą Haliny Górskiej. Autorka opracowania wychodzi od przekroju prac związanych z queer studies, by następnie poddać analizie reprezentacje osób LGBT w polskiej epice dla młodzieży po 1989 roku. Zwraca przy tym szczególną uwagę na miejsca niedopowiedzeń, przemilczeń i braków w tego rodzaju twórczości. Następnie autorka przedstawia dzieje recepcji twórczości Górskiej od dwudziestolecia międzywojennego do czasów najnowszych i proponuje nowe drogi interpretacji przy użyciu narzędzi dostępnych dzięki queer studies. Omawiając jednego z bohaterów utworu, autorka nie tylko zwraca uwagę na różnice w przedstawianiu osoby nieheteronormatywnej w powieści z 1931 roku i w tekstach współczesnych, lecz również stawia w nowym świetle możliwe drogi interpretacji i recepcji twórczości Górskiej.This article is focused on the representation of nonheteronormative protagonist in the novel Nad czarną wodą (Upon the Black Water) by Halina Górska. The author begins her reflections with showing multiple works based on queer studies, going to analysis of LGBT people representations in Polish youth fiction after 1989. The author is focused mostly on taboos and the lack of representations of some groups in the newest Polish youth fiction. In the next paragraphs, the author describes the history of reception of novelist Halina Górska from the interwar period to the 21st century, with a proposal of using queer studies to interpret one of the novels by Górska. The author makes the analysis of one protagonist in the novel of Górska and is focused on similarities and differences in representations of nonheteronormative people in the novel from 1931 and in contemporary texts for youth. It is also an attempt to see the writings of Halina Górska in the new aspects
Year 1981 in Halina Semenowicz’s diary – a mess age for the present
No full textThe article is a presentation of the contents of one of the diary by Halina Semenowicz, promoter of Celestin Freinet’s techniques in Polish education, from the perspective of biographical experience. The author wishes to familiarize the reader with the most important aspects of life and activity of Halina Semenowicz reflected in the diary and thoughts after reading. The author describes the most important areas of Halina Semenowicz’s life, such as family, free time, professional activity, religion and social and political life, which she describes and reflects upon in her calendar. Transfers diaries are a source of analysis used in many educational research, including andragogical. This biographical research interest stems from the belief that reading a biography, not only of outstanding people, carries a significant educational potential. Subjectivity of a diary is obvious, and emotional, sincere statements are the basis and condition of “truthfulness” of articulated thoughts. These features can encourage the diary readers to deepen their knowledge of many cultural phenomena and social relationships in which the entries were created

Edukacja regionalna a przemiany społeczności przemysłowych - tworzenie tradycji jako wyzwanie edukacyjne - na przykładzie Zagłębia Dąbrowskiego
No full textMany regions of Europe are witnessing the reconstruction of regional identity, especially in places where radical social, cultural and economic changes occur. Economic restructuring is a factor of particular importance – it has always affected the stability of units such as a region, town and sometimes even a country. In Poland, this is well visible in the Silesian Voivodship, including in one of its sub-regions, the Dąbrowa Basin, presented in the paper. This young region, created as a result of 19-century pan-European industrialization, is inhabited mainly by descendants of immigrants from rural and small-town areas of Lesser Poland (Małopolska). Attempts have begun in many local groups and circles to strengthen the region’s identity – a process often accompanied by the creation of this identity and by inventing and hand-picking passages of the region’s history that serve this purpose. This poses a significant challenge for regional education where a serious dilemma appears: how to tackle invented tradition, how to evaluate it and what functions to assign to it.Bielecki P., (2011), Zachowania wyborcze mieszkańców Zagłębia i Górnego Śląska ,

Uniwersytet Śląski z siedzibą w Cieszynie w procesie zmian
No full textThe university located in Silesia has a short official name, i.e. “The University of Silesia”,
however, most frequently, in the colloquial language, it is used in its broadened version, i.e. “The
University of Silesia in Katowice” . The very name only partially reflects a contemporary location
and functioning of the school. Although the seat of the authorities of the University of Silesia and
the majority of its departments are situated in Katowice, many units permanently settled into the
structure of several other cities of the Silesian Voivodship: Sosnowiec, Chorzów, Rybnik,
Jastrzębie-Zdrój, and Cieszyn — an informal capital of Cieszyn Silesia.
It would be impossible to imagine Cieszyn without the university “in Bobrek” these days, as
people living in Cieszyn say. It is already a stable and inviolable element of a cultural landscape
and social structure of the city and Cieszyn country.
The university in Cieszyn has its regional and border trait — unique and original adjusted to
European trends
"Inny" Śląsk - południowe rubieże województwa śląskiego
No full textOne of the distinctive features of the Silesian Voivodeship — a region created by an administrative
decision — is its multifaceted diversity, described in different contexts and recalled for
different reasons, not only cognitive but also political ones. The voivodeship is a multicultural area
characterized by a mosaic of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. In everyday perception, as well
as in the media, the Silesian Voivodeship is usually associated with the industrial agglomeration of
softly defined borders, and rarely with its integral parts of Zagłębie, the Częstochowa region, the hilly
Podbeskidzie and Cieszyn Silesia. The latter, historically belonging to Upper Silesia, forms the southern
flanks of the region, the “other Silesia” — green and totally different in its geographical, social,
cultural and partly also economic image than the other sub‑regions
that form Silesia. The region has
the characteristics of an administrative, ethnic and cultural borderland. Situated on the Polish‑
Czech
national border, it is also a cross‑frontier
area of major economic and political importance. It is also
the fatherland for about 40 thousand Poles living in the Czech part of Cieszyn Silesia — known in
Polish as Zaolzie. Therefore, when we think “Silesia”, we should also think of its southern lands as
one of the varieties of “Silesianhood” which build, just like Upper Silesia, the identity of the region
