Abstracts

EN

The article reveals various relations between wartime trauma and the urban experience. The eponymous reading of wartime cartography is an attempt at analysing (based on the works, among others, by M. Białoszewski, M. Głowiński, Cz. Miłosz, and W. Szpilman) spatial practices (as understood by M. de Certeau) characteristic of the times of war. Simultaneously, the focus of interest falls on the tension between the statics, the symbolic gesture of leaning over a map in military headquarters, and the vectors of movement, the dynamics that befalls the inhabitants of the areas where military activity is taking place.
