W artykule postawiono tezę, że wielokulturowość Wrocławia można traktować jako zjawisko bardziej mityczne niż realne. Odwołując się do rozumienia mitu jako konstrukcji bliższej fałszowi niż prawdzie, ale silnie zakorzenionej w świadomości społecznej, pokazano, że mit wielokulturowości stolicy Dolnego Śląska jest najaktualniejszym projektem tożsamościowym (po sfalsyfikowanym już micie piastowskim i odchodzącym w zapomnienie micie lwowskim) społeczności lokalnej. Odwołanie do badań własnych pokazuje wysoki stopień internalizacji przekonania o wielokulturowości Wrocławia wśród jego mieszkańców oraz niewielki stopień zróżnicowania etnicznego struktury społecznej miasta.

The article argues that the multiculturalism of Wrocław may be treated as more mythical than real a phenomenon. By referring to a myth understood as a construct being closer to falseness than truth, yet strongly rooted in a given group’s social awareness, the authors have shown that the myth of the multiculturalism of the capital of Lower Silesia is the most recent identity project (after the Piast myth having been falsified and the Lviv myth slowly sinking into oblivion) created by and, at the same time, directed towards the local community. On the basis of their own research the authors claim that there is a high degree of internalisation of the belief in the multiculturalism of Wrocław shared by its inhabitants as well as a low degree of ethnic diversity of the city’s social structure.

The paper includes the results of the sociological survey accomplished in Zgorzelec (2010), Gubin (201 3) and Słubice (2015). In each case the same methodology was applied – structured interview with probability representative samples. The paper focuses on issues: 1. The emotional approach of the inhabitants of Zgorzelec, Gubin and Słubice, i.e. declared level of liking, indifference or antipathy towards German neighbours, and the opinions on mutual relations. 2. The readiness for contact with a German neighbour appearing in different roles (“the close ones”, “professional”, and the roles “connected with the market”). 3. The type of contacts with Germans – the reasons of mobility to the neighbouring German town by the inhabitants of Zgorzelec, Gubin and Słubice and frequency of border crossing in order to achieve particular goals. Interethnic relations in the situation of geographical vicinity and the open border are shaped on different grounds than the ones in the interior. We try to compare the results of the research accomplished in the borderland with the data obtained from the research done on the all-Polish sample (by the Institute of Public Affairs). The paper includes also methodological reflections (about comparison of researches within borderlandstudies and research on borderland effect).

One of the consequences of the changes introduced to combat the growing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic was the decision to temporarily limit the unrestrained cross-border movement to and from Poland. Our thesis is that this decision, among many others announced by the national government, resulted in peculiar resistance, although mainly in the borderland and in divided towns. The resistance stemmed from the disruption of the daily lives of the inhabitants, who engage in their everyday activities (e.g. work, education) on both sides of the national border. Referring to A. Sadowski's conception, we posit that cultural pluralism (a pluralistic society) has emerged in these towns and, as a result, they are approaching the state of multiculturalism. On the basis of the existing data illustrating the protests taking place in divided towns, we analyse what arguments appear and by whom they are used in messages addressed to the Polish government, which describe the de facto destruction of the existing cross-border social order in divided towns. The analyses have shown disparities between the advancement of certain social processes in the borderland and the reflexivity of the central government, who made their arbitrary decisions without factoring in the specific character of socio-political order developed in recent years in the divided towns of the Polish- German and Polish-Czech borderland.

Od wielu lat studia nad granicami i pograniczami rozwijają się intensywnie w wielu dyscyplinach, czego wynikiem są liczne publikacje i projekty badawcze, a także bogactwo pojęć i stosowanych metod. Granice nie są już postrzegane jedynie jako geografczne linie oddzielające państwa i społeczności, lecz również jako polisemiczne przestrzenie konstruowane w dyskursach, narracjach wokół „swoich” i „obcych” oraz codziennych praktykach. Tradycje polskiej socjologii pogranicza sięgają okresu międzywojnia (Znaniecki, Chałasiński), a badania nad granicami prowadzone były także w okresie PRL-u, mimo że był to temat drażliwy politycznie. Ostatnie wydarzenia społeczno-polityczne – kryzys migracyjny, brexit, wzrost znaczenia ugrupowań prawicowo-konserwatywnych – wywołały na nowo dyskusję na temat granic i ich funkcji. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu omówienie wyników debaty naukowej nad problematyką badania granic i pograniczy oraz wypracowanie nowej agendy badawczej w kontekście współczesnych zmian społeczno- -politycznych i kulturowych.

For several years, border(lands) studies have been developing intensively in many disciplines, resulting in numerous publications and research projects as well as in a wide range of concepts and methods. Thus, borders are no longer perceived only as geographical lines separating states and communities, but also as polysemous spaces constructed in discourses, narratives around “us” and “them” and in everyday practices. Traditions of the Polish sociology of borderland can be dated back to the interwar period (Znaniecki, Chałasiński). Moreover, despite the fact that borders belonged to politically sensitive issues in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, border research was conducted at that time. Recent socio-political events such as the migration crisis, Brexit, the rise of the right-wing conservative parties have triggered a new debate on borders and their functions. This article aims to discuss the results of the scientifc debate on the issues of border and borderlands research and to develop a new research agenda in the light of contemporary socio-political and cultural changes.
