Many memorials are located in the area of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Every day these places are speechless witnesses for the exchange of opinions, successes, failures and also enchantments, emotions and discords of the generations of students, who many a time are not aware of their existence. Meanwhile they came into being for reminding of the people and events that marked themselves in the history of Alma Mater in Toruń. Moreover they want to prompt to broaden knowledge about them. With the aim of restoring the memory of the places of Nicolaus Copernicus University there was organized a scientific-educational project: Nicolaus Copernicus University students towards the places of (non)memory. During this project (8 June 2012) the location-based game, under the same title, was carried out. This venture joined historical content with the pedagogical method of its modern transfer. This idea was designed to popularize knowledge about the memorials of Nicolaus Copernicus University. In addition to this, participants could create their civic competences and could get new experience, which can be a foundation of their academic identity. Project was based on the methodological framework of the action research.

Aim. The article attempts to look at question of academic identities through the prism the academic novel. This literary genre emerged in English and American literature in early 1950s and centers on the image of the professor. In Slavic literatures the genre of the academic novel appears roughly in early 1990s, which is directly connected with the change of the political order following the fall of the Berlin Wall and disbanding of the Soviet Union. Contemporary Ukrainian literature with its post-Soviet heritage presents a unique source for the study of academic discourse. Methods. An interdisciplinary approach which combines sociological investigation of academic identity (Henkel 2005) and hermeneutic literary analysis is used for this study. In this respect three novels from the contemporary Ukrainian literature – “University” (2007) and “Kaleidoscope” (2009) by Igor Yosypiv, and “Drosophila over a Volume of Kant” (2010) by Anatoliy Dnistrovyj – are chosen for analysis. Results. Analysis of the novels shows that the literary representation of academics’ lives goes in line with the sociological findings, which, in defining a successful academic, put a strong accent on a discipline and academic institution. The interpretation of Yosypiv’s novels about a Ukrainian nephrologist at the American Medical School suggests that protagonist’s academic success is rooted in the field of applied science as well as an American institution of higher education, while Dnistrovyj’s novel sees a failure of a philosophy professor in the crisis of the Humanities as survived in post-Soviet Ukraine. Conclusion. The given novels of Igor Yosypiv and Anatoliy Dnistrovyj show that in case of academic identity theme, the academic novels support sociological studies, i.e. the discipline (Applied Sciences and Humanities) as well as the university rank (American vs. post-Soviet) play a decisive role in scholars’ academic life. This in its turn proves that the academic novel, like in the time of its emergence in the 1950s, continues to be a literary chronicler of higher education.

The issue of the location of economic entities, which is crucial for economic geography, is becoming the object of ever more thorough analyses undertaken by the growing number of various academic disciplines, and especially those included in economic sciences, which paradoxically initiated this trend of research. This results from the cognitive interests of these disciplines, but also the needs of economic practice related to the perception of the complexity of conditions and the implications of the location of economic entities and its significance for their competitiveness. Each of the disciplines studying this issue does it a bit differently, and the analyses they make are a function of the academic identity of the researchers who conduct them. It is institutionally conditioned and determined by their education and practical experience, while the dynamically treated location theory plays a crucial role in its formation. However, the question remains whether the academic identity of the researchers of the location of economic entities shaped around this theory should be complex, nomadic or explicitly defined, and how the postulate of interdisciplinary investigation of location issues should be understood in this context.
