The text attempts to resolve the narrative impasse perpetuating in analyses and reconstructions of the local humanities position in the field of local and supra-local competition. The basic proposal that can lead to the most sensible and credible debate in this matter is the preliminary establishment of the local representatives of (broadly understood) humanities beyond the standard narratives (progress, backwardness, worldliness etc.) and fantasies abundantly present in this discourse. This suggestion may be strongly uncomfortable for the actors acting in this field, but it seems that without undertaking such a confrontation these analyzes and debates will remain sterile, regardless of how instrumentally effective they may be in clashes between individual fractions within the local field of humanities.

In the article I examine general issues concerning the function of the centre-periphery visualisation in discourse analysis and, indirectly, in many other studies into modern social communication. I emphasise the dynamics of mutual relations between the centre and the peripheries, including the definitional and categorial instability of both concepts as well as the relativity of research heuristic using this kind of metaphor. The point of reference is the English-language literature on the subject. In the article I focus briefly on two aspects of the problem: external and internal with regard to discourse analysis. In the case of the former, my interest focuses on globalisation, i.e. how social, economic, cultural and technological transformations influence our social actions and thinking about discourse, symbolic power and social identity. The latter case is about the genre which for me is the definitional centre for linguistic discourse analysis, especially for critical discourse studies with an interdisciplinary background. The aim of my reflections is to show how socio-discursive changes, including the growing hybridisation and multimodality of communication as well as the generic openness of new discursive formations, influence the destabilisation of the centre-periphery relations in social perception and discourse analysis. I believe that both turns in contemporary discourse studies — the critical and the semiotic — pose completely new challenges to linguistically-based discourse analysis and, consequently, to linguistics itself.

Izabela Poręba in the paper Vis-à-vis pamięci narodu. Miasto postkolonialne – rekapitulacja stanowisk (Vis-à-vis the Memory of the Nation. Postcolonial City – Recapitulation) presents different ways of understanding the term “postcolonial city”. She analyses in this scope identity representations in urban spatial, ethical reservations considering adopting modal framework which was mentioned and relations between centre and periphery – designated due a to two-fold reference (inside and outside a country), which is distinctive for ex-colonial cities (and their inhabitants). Definitions of “postcolonial city” by Nausheen H. Anwar, Bill Ashcroft, Katie Beswick, Maya Parmar, Esha Sil, A.D. King, Agata Lisiak and David Simon discussed in the chapter allow to capture problematic nature of the term itself and its concretization as well. This problematic nature is one of founder stones of discursive marginality of urban themes compered to rural areas analysis. The author points out, recalling works by Irena Bukowska-Floreńska parallelism in the history of Polish ethnological studies, in which direct turn towards urban themes may be dated only in the second half of XX century. The aim of the chapter is to explain reasons of this disproportion in the field of postcolonial studies. The author recalls discourses concerning cities in methodological frame of postcolonialism and research findings from ethnology, anthropology (especially of the city), cultural theory and social-economic geography (human geography) and therefore extracts three arguments explaining the disproportion between city and nonurban areas analysis: 1) ethical assumptions connected with postcolonial methodology itself; 2) cognitive mistakes, which are leading to misbelief that there is not enough research material regarding cities in the countries of so called Third World (belief about their non-urbanization); and 3) distance from the position of recognition of a city as a “microcosm of the society” (signalized as the generalizing structure by Manuel Castells and Kacper Pobłocki). The author suggests twofold procedure in connection with depicted category: departure from theorizing about abstractive “postcolonial city” sui generis and at the meanwhile focusing our attention on urban themes in postcolonial studies at the level of praxis, for e.g. on analysis of specific, historically and geographically concretized spaces or literary transformations of these places.
