Autor od kilku lat, samodzielnie lub w zespołach badawczych prowadzi badania nad funkcjonowaniem przestrzeni publicznych miast Górnego Śląska. Poniższy tekst jest próbą przedstawienia refleksji, które zrodziły się podczas ich trwania. Autor skoncentrował się na problemie funkcji pełnionych przez przestrzenie publiczne w krajobrazie miast śląskich. W początkowej części tekstu podjęta została próba skonstruowania typu idealnego przestrzeni publicznej i wskazania na jej zasadnicze właściwości. Omówione zostały też funkcje przestrzeni publicznych, które nie ograniczają się tylko do funkcji związanych z istnieniem wspólnoty politycznej. Przedstawienie typu idealnego oraz typologii funkcji (za Lyn Lofland) przestrzeni publicznej posłużyło autorowi do analizy funkcjonowania przestrzeni publicznych dwóch śląskich miast – Katowic i Rybnika. Autor podjął próbę oceny stopnia wypełniania poszczególnych funkcji przez przestrzenie centralne obu miast oraz tamtejsze malle. Dzięki temu możliwe okazało się określenie roli, którą spełniają wybrane przestrzenie publiczne w badanych miastach.

The author, individually or in work teams, for a few years now, has been conducting research into functioning of public space in Upper Silesia towns. The text is an attempt to present reflections which arose as a result of these studies. The author concentrates on the problem of functions fulfilled by public space in a scenery of Silesian towns. Firstly, he attempts to reconstruct an ideal type of public space and indicate its basic qualities. Secondly, functions of public space, not limited to these connected with political community, are discussed. The author presents an ideal type and a typology of public space functions (following Lyn Lofland) to analyse the functioning of public space in two Silesian locations – Katowice and Rybnik. He evaluates a degree of functions fulfilled by central spaces in both locations and shopping centres located there. In the light of these evaluations, it is possible to define/determine the role played by the chosen public spaces in the investigated locations.

The article presents a fragment of the results from the study on the perception of the central space of five Silesian cities: Katowice, Rybnik, Tychy, Bytom and Ruda Śląska, conducted with Krzysztof Bierwiaczonek (PhD, The Institute of Sociology, The University of Silesia). Out of a large research material the author selects a part devoted to the perception of changes in the centres of the cities under examination. The author wondered if, with reference to the places in question, the thesis of the crisis of the city central space is justified, if their traditional centre disappears or is moved to big shopping malls. The studies were qualitative and quantitative in nature. The main research technique was a free interview based on the one conducted by Lynch and Nasar (the studies in Knoxville). The supporting technique constituted a draft of the city central space outlined by the respondents intertwined into the interview. Thanks to it, the mental maps were created, or, to be more specific, cognitive maps of the central space. The results that were discussed concerned the need of the existence of the centre, the replacement of the centre with big shopping malls, the desacralization of the centre and perception of changing ongoing there. The material collected allows to make a statement that despite many symptoms of the transition of the Silesian city centres into the non centres of non cities, the trivialization of their central space has not happened yet. The centres still play an important role in the cities under investigation. The inhabitants appreciate the need of the existence of the centre and perceiving the city a such, refer to the spacious archetype, i.e. the city with the central point the market square constitutes. The studies also showed that malls did not replace the central space. Another conclusion deriving from the research is a progressing desacralization of the central space of the cities in focus.

The memory of the German heritage of Silesian cities can become a burden. It is also a story of erasing and avoiding this heritage, an attitude necessary to build the national identity. At the same time elements of the German heritage are incorporated not so much into a reconstructed local identity, but into a reviving regional identity of Silesia as well as city marketing and image strategies. What happened in Silesian towns and cities in 1945–1989 made it impossible to draw on the German tradition in the construction of the identity of their residents. This tradition was doubly alien and doubly unacceptable. It was rejected as a legacy of the capitalist era and of the German past. It could not be reconciled with the realist socialist model of the world as well as with the belief in the uniformity of national culture and myth of the eternal Polishness of Silesia. Nor could it be reconciled with the long-standing (though of a varying intensity) use of the German threat to legitimise the communist authorities. The places that might have become the essence of the new identity were hidden in the constructs of the past imposed by the government or were interpreted in a specific manner, with the authorities emphasising the significance of other traces. Paradoxically, elements of the German cultural heritage do appear, but only after they have been adapted as elements of the Silesian heritage. The impression is that the potential of this heritage is not well used. It is used more to build the city’s image and boost tourism rather than to build identity.

Autor w tekście Koszmarny sen. Centrum poprzemysłowych Katowic w oczach mieszkańców podejmuje próbę diagnozy stanu przestrzeni centralnej Katowic. W oparciu o wyniki badań prowadzonych samodzielnie lub z Krzysztofem Bierwiaczonkiem próbuje sprawdzić, czy w przypadku Katowic znajduje uzasadnienie teza o kryzysie przestrzeni centralnej miast. Podstawową techniką badawczą w obu badaniach był wzorowany na Lynchu i Nasarze (badania w Knoxville) wywiad swobodny, podczas którego badani opowiadali, jak widzą centrum miasta, jakie odczucia towarzyszą pobytowi w centrum. W wywiad wplecione było, jako technika pomocnicza, szkicowanie przestrzeni centralnej miasta przez respondentów. Dzięki temu powstały mapy mentalne, a ściślej mówiąc mapy poznawcze przestrzeni centralnej. Badania pokazują przestrzeń miasta, która jest odrzucana przez mieszkańców. Centrum, które nie spełnia swojej roli i nie jest postrzegane jako miejsce sprzyjające identyfikacji z miastem oraz integracji miejskiej społeczności. Mieszkańcy widzą centrum jako wielki węzeł komunikacyjny. W ocenach swych odwołują się do archetypu przestrzennego – miasta z centralnym punktem jakim jest rynek.

In the article the author recognizes a condition of Katowice central area. Applying to results of research projects (his own or prepared with Krzysztof Bierwiaczonek) he verifies if the thesis of city centers decline is acceptable. The main research technique was a semi structured interview followed Lynch's and Nasar's technique (Knoxville research project). Interview questions were concentrated on visual and sensual perception of Katowice central area. During the interview supporting technique: drawing particular space was used as the way of obtain knowledge on mental view of Katowice inner city. Key point of conclusion is: inhabitants of Katowice don't accept Katowice central area, which fail to come up their expectations. Centre of Katowice is not a place where social identification or integration is able to occur. Central area of the city is seen as a huge junction not a center in its traditional terms.

Sir Roger Scruton disapproved of the changes to urban space initiated by modernism in the 20th century. In his writings on aesthetics, his journalism, and his social activism, he consistently argued for restoring the ‘real’ city, in which the community of inhabitants decides. This text aims to trace Scruton’s argument and use it to explain the spatial chaos in Poland. From Scruton’s multifaceted work, I limited myself to three elements related to the critique of modernism, the architect’s role and the problem of the city’s identity and its inhabitants. This was to show a conservative way to change the situation in the city. This conservative remedial programme consists of giving the city back to the community of inhabitants, rebuilding public space (treated as a common good) and insisting on certain norms which, in the interest of the community, will limit the laissez-faire approach to space, are fundamental issues whose implementation can influence the variation of Polish space.

Sir Roger Scruton nie aprobował zmian w przestrzeni miast, które zapoczątkowane zostały w XX wieku przez modernizm. W swych pismach z zakresu estetyki, w publicystyce i działalności społecznej konsekwentnie upominał się o przywrócenie „prawdziwego” miasta, w którym decyduje wspólnota mieszkańców. Celem tekstu jest prześledzenie jego argumentacji i wykorzystanie jej do wyjaśnienia chaosu przestrzennego w Polsce. Z wielowątkowej twórczości Scrutona ograniczyłem się do trzech elementów związanych z krytyką modernizmu, rolą architekta i problemem tożsamości miasta i jego mieszkańców. Miało to doprowadzić do pokazania konserwatywnej recepty na odmianę sytuacji w mieście. Polega ona na oddaniu miasta wspólnocie mieszkańców, odbudowie przestrzeni publicznej (traktowanej jako dobro wspólne) i upomnienie się o pewne normy, które w interesie wspólnoty ograniczą leseferystyczne podejście do przestrzeni – to zasadnicze kwestie, których realizacja może wpłynąć na odmianę polskiej przestrzeni.

The subject of the article is collective memory of the concept of work among the inhabitants of the Upper Silesian village of Bojszowy. The author of the study employs the classic understanding of collective memory, while simultaneously pointing to the importance of the communication process and the diversity of information sources shaping it. Empirical data was collected during research conducted in 2018 using in-depth interview techniques. The research sample consisted of 30 rural residents. Analysis of the functioning of collective memory about work revealed the development processes – especially industrialization and deagrarianization – taking place in Bojszów. The analysis clearly shows the specificity of the Upper Silesian village, where these processes began relatively early, and work was associated not only with agriculture, but also with industry and trade.

Artykuł podejmuje problem pamięci zbiorowej o czasach II wojny światowej wśród mieszkańców śląskiej wsi Bojszowy. Odwołując się do koncepcji traumy kulturowej Jeffreya C. Alexandra zadano pytanie: czy w przypadku pamięci mieszkańców badanej wsi o czasach wojny mamy do czynienia z wystąpieniem traumy kulturowej? Do analizy wybrano dwa problemy: pamięć o służbie mężczyzn w Wehrmachcie oraz pamięć o sąsiedztwie nazistowskiego obozu zagłady w Auschwitz-Birkenau (wieś znajduje się w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie Oświęcimia). Odpowiedź na pytanie badawcze uzyskano dzięki analizie trzydziestu relacji zebranych techniką wywiadu pogłębionego. Badanie odtworzonych treści pamięci zbiorowej pokazało, że pamięć o służbie bojszowian w Wehrmachcie ma charakter traumy kulturowej. Pamięć o tych dramatycznych doświadczeniach przetworzona została na narrację, która odmieniła tożsamość mieszkańców wsi. Taki proces nie zaszedł w przypadku pamięci o obozie Zagłady, dlatego równie trudnych wydarzeń związanych z tym sąsiedztwem nie można ujmować w kategoriach traumy kulturowej.

The article deals with the issue of collective memory about the times of the Second World War (WWII) among the inhabitants of a Silesian village. Engaging with the Jeffrey C. Alexander’s concept of cultural trauma, we set out to establish if the memory of the WWII in this group bears features of cultural trauma. Two issues have been selected for the analysis: the memory of men’s service in the Wehrmacht, the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany, and the memory of living in the vicinity of the Nazi extermination camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Thirty in-depth interviews with the inhabitants of the village were analysed in order to answer the research question. The study has demonstrated that the memory of the service in the Wehrmacht bears features of cultural trauma. The memory of these dramatic experiences has transformed the identity of the villagers. This kind of process did not occur in the case of the memory of the Holocaust camp.

On 1st January 1992, the Act on management of agricultural land owned by the State Treasury of 19th October 1991 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) came into effect, which introduced new legal regulations concerning the principles of management of property owned by the State Treasury with reference to agricultural land and other kinds of real estate as well as property left after liquidation of state agricultural enterprises (Polish: państwowe przedsiębiorstwo gospodarki rolnej; hereinafter referred to as ppgr), real estates which on the day of the Act’s coming into effect were under management of state organisational units as well as real estate in perpetual usufruct by natural and legal persons; in usufruct or beneficial estate by natural persons, legal persons and other organisational units; in the State Land Fund. With this Act the process of changes in the structure of ownership of agricultural real estate began, real estate that had been taken over to the benefit of the State Treasury on grounds of the decree on agricultural reform of 6th September 1944, as well as on grounds of other legal titles (e.g. in exchange for allowance or retirement pension, or taken over by the state by way of other titles on grounds of later legal acts). In order to accomplish the goal of introducing changes in the structure of ownership of agricultural real estate by virtue of the Act of 19th October 1991, the Agricultural Property of the State Treasury Agency was established. The Agency was invested with attributes of a state–owned legal person, which the State Treasury in accordance with art. 5 of the Act entrusted with exercising ownership rights and other property rights to the benefit of the State Treasury in relation to the aforementioned property. As a consequence whereof, on the day of the Act’s coming into effect, i.e. on 1st January 1992, the Agency entered into possession of elements of property of the State Treasury it was entrusted with (above all property left after liquidation of state agricultural enterprises), and exercises on its own behalf the rights and obligations related to them towards third parties, as well as on its own behalf exercises public law liabilities related to these elements, and liabilities resulting from administrative decisions. The Agency also inherited the liabilities of ppgr, what is to be considered an exception to the principle voiced in the Civil Code that state–owned legal persons are not responsible for the liabilities of the State Treasury. Thus the Act on management of agricultural land owned by the State Treasury, being a unique legal instrument, modifies the ruling of art. 40 § 1 of the Civil Code. The Agency is only a trust institution of the State Treasury, an institution which is the administrator of the right the State Treasury is entitled to. In no way is the Agency entitled to property rights in relation to property entrusted to it, whereas the State Treasury in no way ceases to hold ownership of the property entrusted to the Agency. However, one has to assume that the Agency is entitled, in relation to the property entrusted to it, to any and all rights listed in art. 140 of the Civil Code. The activity of the Agency as trustee constitutes, in a sense, a statutory specification of tasks of the administrative body that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is. However, describing the Agency as a unique state–owned legal person seems most appropriate, a state–owned legal person executing statutory and public administration tasks, including appointed to it public administration functions. Executing the tasks imposed on it by the legislators, the Agency not only makes use of civil law, but also of administrative law mechanisms.
