The Golden Twenties was known to be a period of vibrancy for Berlin which had then became the third largest municipality in the world. Berlin led a sophisticated culture in film, literature, painting, architecture and science. Yet, despite such pros, there emerged a reputation for decadence, for example prostitution and homosexual behaviour. German expressionism had a metaphorical symbolic relationship with the city and the built environment, as Germany began to regain its physical, social and economic structure after the First World War. Its fragmented urban, architectural and spatial character has been depicted as dream-like, chaotic and negatively disordered. On a parallel ideological level, the rapidly changing phenomenon of cities had great influence on artists, poets, writers and filmmakers who found metropolitan street life to be the stage of the magic and chaotic energy then known as city films. This paper highlights the vivid forms of the expressionist city – Berlin’s roaring twenties – arising from the alchemy between dark representations and the urban experience. Through a tripartite coalition between Heinrich De Fries’s mimesis theory, Michel De Certeau’s flâneur and Karl Grune’s 1923 expressionist city film Die Straße (The Street), the paper explores the cinematic representation of a once-divided metropolitan city.

Artykuł analizuje, w jaki sposób urodzeni za granicą pracownicy uczelni i instytucji badawczych zlokalizowanych w Polsce i w Słowacji korzystają z oferty kulturalnej i infrastruktury miast, w których podjęli pracę. Badania, oparte na indywidualnych wywiadach pogłębionych (IDI), pokazały cztery powracające wzorce dotyczące interakcji z miastem. Opierając się na podmiotowej rekonstrukcji przekonań uczestników badania, wyrażonej w formie narracji, można wyróżnić dwa style aktywne i dwa pasywne. Aktywne to „zachwyt miastem europejskim”, charakterystyczny głównie dla przybyszów z Ameryki Północnej oraz „życie w obrębie diaspory”. Style pasywne określam zaś mianem „instrumentalnego kontaktu z miastem”, typowego dla pracowników dojeżdżających z państw sąsiednich wyłącznie do pracy oraz „kontaktu powierzchownego”, czyli mało intensywnych kontaktów z podstawowymi instytucjami dostępnymi w mieście ze względu na brak czasu, charakterystyczny dla pracy akademickiej, w której trudno oddzielić od siebie aktywności zawodowe i pozazawodowe.

The paper analyzes how the foreign-born employees of universities and research institutions located in Poland and Slovakia benefit from the cultural offer and infrastructure of the cities, where they work. A study, based on individual in-depth interviews (IDI), has discovered four recurring patterns of interaction with urban culture. Based on the subjective reconstruction of the participants’ beliefs expressed in their narratives, two active styles and two passive styles can be distinguished. The active are: “the admiration of a European city”, typical for academics arriving from North America as well as “diaspora life”. The passive are: “instrumental contact with the city”, typical for commuters from neighboring countries states only for work and “fleeting contacts” with basic institutions available in the city due to lack of time, characteristic of academic work that often affects work-life balance.
