After decades of uncertainty and continuous change to the border regime since the split-up of Görlitz into a German part west of the river Neisse, and a Polish part called Zgorzelec after the Second World War, both towns established the self-designated European City Görlitz-Zgorzelec in 1998. Although journalists and politicians maintain that Görlitz and Zgorzelec are a case model for European integration, there are obvious differences between the visions connected to the project ‘European City’ and the everyday life. Following the key research question, whether the ‘European City Görlitz-Zgorzelec’, in its attempts to develop a border-crossing civil society, is also constructed from below by citizens on both sides of the border, my contribution to the field of border studies uses a qualitative micro-level approach to these processes in the fields of culture, leisure and education. For that aim, an ethnographically inspired socio-geographical research design has been linked to Henri Lefebvre’s theoretical framework of the double triad of spatial production developed in The Production of Space (1991). From the perspective of actors in civil society in both towns, who are active in constructing, shifting and deconstructing borders, the article aims to illuminate both territorial and social bordering processes. Borderwork is embedded in and connected to transformation and peripheralisation processes, as well as to the discourses on and the funding instruments of European Integration in the context of the complex history of the Polish-German border.

The article describes the normative and positive relation between science (its people and institutions) and urban space as local place. The participation of science in local development is treated as a component of public participation. As such it constitutes a significant element of the place’s identity. While focusing on social sciences, the Author points to insufficient role of science as human activity in the production of urban space and searches for reasons for the occurrence of such a phenomenon. On the basis of three examples the desirable functions of science are identified: its diagnostic and inspiring role, each treated as necessary components of social development and of the production of space.

  The paper discusses a series of five graffiti pieces made in 2005 on the Israeli-Palestinian separation barrier by the English street artist Banksy. Location is here key to the understanding of the messages. The departure point for my analyses is, on the one hand, the meaning connoted with the ‘wall,’ the aim of which is to separate two peoples in a conflict, and, on the other, the representations of landscapes, often with water, painted by Banksy in most of the works. To answer what symbolic role landscape plays in the conflict-ridden area, I look at some other art works, made by contemporary Israeli artists for whom place, landscape and the related question of identity and belonging seem to play a central role. Painted by Banksy on the Palestinian side, the utopian, Eden-like sights, which ‘make holes’ in the concrete barrier, undermine, in an ironic fashion, the hierarchical discourse of power relations constructed by the ‘opposite’ side, and give ‘water’ to the evicted.

This article presents the results of a three-month empirical study in a private minority immersion school of the non-profit association DIWAN in Brittany (France). The private minority schools of DIWAN, founded in 1977 as a reaction against monolingual language policy in France, were modeled on Canadian immersion schools, which first appeared in 1965 in Ontario, as well as on Ikastolas (Basque country) and Welsh language schools (Wales). The network of DIWAN immersion schools has created a linguistic regime, ideologically founded in language revitalization. The regime guarantees an artificially secure Breton-only space in schools, along with the teaching of two foreign languages (English and German or Spanish) and classes in the students’ mother tongue French. Nowadays this artificially created Breton-only space is definitely in opposition to a globalized and flexible world. In this context, the research study questions the following: “How do the students experience their multilingualism?” — hypothesizing that the students do encounter separated multilingualism. The study is based on the theoretical concept of multilingualism and on the models of multilingualismencouragement in schools. In addition, there are references to the theory of the production of social space, the concept of language regime and also the study of material semiotics. The empirical part of the study combines language biographical and ethnographical approaches in the form of language portrayals and narrative interviews, as well as linguistic landscaping.

Worker´s colony Karlov was built by Škoda Works in 1913 to accomodate the growing number of its employees. Attached to the factory´s walls and thus spatially segregated from the rest of the city, inhabitants of Karlov built a retively close-knit neighbourhood community with a strong place-based identity. Based on the analysis of archival material and data from interviews with its former inhabitants, we follow Karlov´s voyage from capitalism to state-socialism at the levels of both macro-structural forces and it´s inhabitants experience of everyday life.

Suburbanizacja w Polsce – pejzaż społeczno-przestrzenny

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie relacji między nowymi a dawnymi mieszkańcami wiejskich miejscowości strefy podmiejskiej wielkiego miasta (na przykładzie Wrocławia). Waga tematyki wynika ze specyfiki polskiej suburbanizacji, w znacznej mierze bazującej na rdzeniach starych wsi, a po części na inwestycjach deweloperskich. Napływ nowych mieszkańców (ich sposobów życia) do starych wsi jest głównym czynnikiem redefiniującym sytuacje społeczne w lokalnej zbiorowości i oddziałującym na życie codzienne obu grup. Do analizy tych zjawisk wykorzystano elementy modelu zaproponowanego przez Sonię Salamon [2003] do badania przemian społeczności w rolniczych w małych miastach USA. Panowały w nich warunki społeczno-przestrzenne bardzo zbliżone do tych, które można obserwować na współczesnych polskich suburbiach. Opis przemian społeczności urbanizujących się wsi wymaga określenia: jak kształtuje się stosunek starych mieszkańców i nowoosadników do zamieszkiwanej lokalizacji; wymiarów relacji, w jakie wchodzą ze sobą starzy i nowi mieszkańcy; typów zasobów, z jakich korzystają we wzajemnych relacjach (wiedza, zaufanie, kooperacja).

The aim of the article is to present one of the most important aspects of suburbanization in Poland concerning social relations between old and new inhabitants. The significance of this problem stems from specific conditions in which Polish suburbs have been developing. Since there are very few large investments on greenfield sites, newcomers usually locate themselves in the spatial and social vicinity of older inhabitants dwelling in older villages. Massive influx of newcomers and of their ways of life is the most important factor affecting social and spatial fabric of Polish suburbia. The analyses presented in this article are based on elements of the model offered by Sonya Salamon [2003]. Her research focused on rural communities living in small towns in Illinois. Although her analysis concerns American communities from the beginning of the 21st century, it is deceptively similar to contemporary Polish rural communities. Therefore, it is possible to study the following aspects of change observed in urbanized locations: how are social relations reflected in the use of public spaces and in residents’ sense of place?; what interconnections are there across the community? are there any cross-age relations?; does the social system provide access to community’s social resources such as knowledge, trust, and co-operation?
