Poznaj sąsiada – „Nie ma jak Lwów…”

agakud — Sun, 18 Oct 2015 13:27:35 +0000

O różnych obliczach miasta Lwowa, inteligenckim, przedsiębiorczym, kulturalnym, historycznym i pamiętającym Lwowie przeczytacie mój artykuł na portalu www.podrozystka.pl. „O życiu we Lwowie powstały piosenki (np. „Tylko we Lwowie” Szczepka i Tońki), filmy („W ciemności” A. Holland), napisano tomy wspomnień i publikacji. Wielu starszych Polaków wspomina to miasto z czułością i wielu nie chce mierzyć się z jego teraźniejszością. Nic dziwnego, bo po co niszczyć cudowny obraz żyjący we wspomnieniach. A Lwów się zmienia.”

agakud — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:26:00 +0000

Because of the 100th anniversary of the begin of World War I there were more publications about this turning point in the history. I wrote an article about the meaning of the year 1914 for L’viv and Galicia. I also wrote about the meaning of Galicia for the states Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and Russian Imperium at that time. I’ve analysed the press and the memoires.

The title of my article in German: DAS GALIZISCHE „PULVERFASS“ UND DER BEGINN DES ERSTEN WELTKRIEGS. Eine Krisenregion zwischen Österreich-Ungarn und Russland.

The title of my article in English: THE GALICIA’S „POWDER KEG“ AND THE START OF WORLD WAR I. War zone between Austria-Hungary and Russia.

It appeared in the anthology of Jürgen Angelow and Johannes Großmann „Wandel, Umbruch, Absturz.
Perspektiven auf das Jahr 1914” (2014, Steiner Verlag).

I was invited to give a speech and write an essay on Jabłonowski as a military symbol of the region and his meaning for the region.

Fluctuating memory

agakud — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:10:00 +0000

Collective, individual, cultural or communicative memory are very well known in the science. But what is fluctuating or ambiguous memory? I came to this conclusion in regard to my analyse of monuments in L’viv between 1867 and 1939. „Ambiguous memory” means that the memory on one person or event is differential for different society groups and even individuals.

The monuments could be symbols of the city, region, nation and state, also of course of an political, cultural, religious idea at once. This results from the booming landscape of monuments in L’viv.

I presented my these for the participants of the Kolloquium about current researches in the history of the Institut für Europäische Geschichte (Professur für Europäische Regionalgeschichte, Technische Universität Chemnitz) in Chemnitz in November 2011.
