The article explores Polish historiography concerning history of everyday-life in communist Poland. In order to identify the main fields of historical research together with theoretical frames the analysis included the two levels of methodological reflection and historiographical scholarship. The widely accepted demand for the interdisciplinary, finds limited implementation in historical research dominated by the sociological approach with limited reference to anthropology, linguistic or cultural studies. As a result historiography offers macro-level interpretations based on an assumption of the representative sample of empirical data, with little attention to new fields of research (gender, memory, representations), micro-level distinctions, and the history-from-below perspective. The article ends with some methodological proposals in order to enlarge the field of research.

The article analyzes the methodological specificity of Polish research of recent history, using historical witnesses to as a source. The three featured  environments, defined by the metaphor of the "generation" - classical, modernist and oralist historians -  were used to show the achievements of Polish research, whose immanent features are discontinuity, parallelism and a different type of transfer between theory and research practice. The methodological directives are the starting point in each case, formulated in the historians' environment and an indication of the extent to which they influenced the historian’s research.

W artykule analizowana jest  specyfika metodologiczna polskich badań historii najnowszej, wykorzystujących jako źródło relacje świadków historii. Wyróżnione trzy środowiska, określone za pomocą metafory „pokolenia” − historyków klasycznych, modernistycznych i oralistów − posłużyły do ukazania dorobku polskich badań, których cechą immanentną jest nieciągłość, równoległość i odmienny rodzaj transferu pomiędzy teorią i praktyką badawczą. Punktem wyjścia w każdym przypadku stają się dyrektywy metodologiczne, formułowane w środowisku historyków i wskazanie, w jakim stopniu miały one wpływ na badania historyków.

Oral history, presented in our volume, is polyphonic and unbridled by clear-cut theoretical and methodological models. We hope that our selection of texts will be particularly conducive to the (re)interpretation of documentary and research work of Polish oralists and will become an invitation – open for everybody – to carry out creative and critical readings of the “source material” they have accumulated in recent years. This aim can be successfully served by all the texts presented in this collection.
PL
Oral history, jaką prezentuje nasz wybór, jest polifoniczna, i nie daje się zamknąć w jednoznaczne schematy teoretyczne i metodologiczne. Mamy nadzieję, że wybrane teksty w szczególny sposób sprzyjać będą (re)interpretacjom własnej pracy dokumentacyjnej i badawczej polskich oralistów i staną się zaproszeniem – także dla innych – do twórczych, w tym krytycznych, odczytań zgromadzonego przez nich w ostatnich latach „materiału źródłowego”. Temu ostatniemu celowi służyć mogą zresztą z powodzeniem wszystkie proponowane teksty.

The article presents a micro-historical interpretation of daily life in the People’s Republic of Poland comprehended as peripheral research space contrasted with macro social historiography. The source basis is composed of oral accounts possessing the features of biographical narrations, collected at the time of research carried out in Ustronie, a frontier locality in Cieszyn Silesia. The text includes two divergent case studies of the experiences of a “woman from here” and an “alien” in Ustronie. The first instance makes it possible to analyse daily life and the role it plays in the construction and shaping of local identity. In the second case, the centre of attention is focused on the process of building and the functions fulfilled by apocryphal memory. A comparative analysis of the interviews indicates a genuine need for embarking in Poland upon micro-historical studies of the epoch as well as a redefinition of daily life, up to now described in historiography with the assistance of traditional sociological methods that reduce a person to a number and a statistical variable. In the context of contemporary historiography, the protagonists of history – people and places – are subjected to multiple marginalisation. First, the local experiences of the epoch of the People’s Republic of Poland are recorded via the adaptation of a model devised by political history on a macro scale. Secondly, the protagonists undergo a double marginalisation – as the inhabitants of geographical peripheries and as individuals.
