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.”

Memory places of Kraków

agakud — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:52:00 +0000

I helped to conduct the seminar about history of and memory places in Kraków (13-19 May 2013) of Prof. Jürgen Angelow and (this time) Prof. Zdzisław Noga. The participants were students of the Freie Universität Berlin und Pedagogical University in Krakow. The topics of speeches were related as always to historical places (monuments, public places, churches etc.).

The development of the seminar’s concept and the seminar organistation were very important to me since my Ph.D is dedicated L’viv’s remembrance from 1867 till 1939.

Beside that I gave a speech on the every day life in Nowa Huta, relations between inhabitants of Nowa Huta and Kraków and the museum concept of Nowa Huta (ecomuseum), which was also an interesting experience.

Remembrance culture and memory places in L’viv are more and more interesting as a research topic. To give the students the opportunity of researches on the topic Prof. Jürgen Angelow (University Potsdam/University of the Saarland) organised a seminar on this topic in L’viv 2007 and 2012.

The topics were divided into 6 sessions:

1. Memory places of Ukrainians and Poles,
2. Memory of Habsburg rule over Central Europe (L’viv),
3. Memory of Holocaust and Jewish life in L’viv,
4. Death cult und multinationality – cemeteries of L’viv,
5. World War II and „Soviet time” – commemoration of Germans and Soviets in the city,
6. Other minorities on example of Armenians.

2007 the seminar was organised by Prof. Angelow, M.A. Iryna Kharyk and me. Then the participants came from the Potsdam University and L’viv University. They gave lectures on different aspects of national culture of remembrance in L’viv.

In 2012 me, Matthias Guttke, the lector of German Academic Exhange Service (DAAD), Sabine Schwager, the DAAD assistant, helped to conduct the seminar. The participants of this seminar were students of the University of the Saarland (history) and the Ivan-Franko-University of L’viv (intercultural communication).

Memory places of the regions

agakud — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:52:00 +0000

Comparisions of regionals researches and finding a broader geographical context can be also very inspiring. So the conference „Regional memory places: Western Bohemia and Middle Germany – a comparision” (Regionale Erinnerungsorte: Westböhmen und Mitteldeutschland im europäischen Kontext) in November 2011 was for me a great possibility to see the bigger picture.

It was organised in Greiz by the Technische Universität Chemnitz, Professor of the European Regional History in cooperation with the Dialog mit Böhmen e.V. / Antikomplex e.V. / SOA Cheb, Greiz (Thüringen).

It was important for me to analyse the regional connotations of the monuments.

Both a work of art and not a work of art. The opinion depends on premises.
