The Name of the City – Social Memory and Oblivion: Wroclaw Case

SUMMARY

The Name of the City – Social Memory and Oblivion: Wroclaw CaseIn this paper, the author raises the question about the role of the study of oiconyms in the memory studies approach. The problem presented is the relationship between the city’s past (and culturally alien) name and the contemporary construction of its past and modern identity. The main thread discussed is the construction of the presence/absence of the pre-war name Breslau in the contemporary discourses about the city’s past of Wroclaw’s elites and inhabitants. To present the issue the author analysed samples of the discursive strategies derived from academic (historical and literary) discourses and from colloquial discourses of Wroclaw inhabitants (thirty in-depth narrative interviews).Nazwa miasta – pamiec spoleczna i zapomnienie. Przypadek WroclawiaW artykule autorka stawia pytanie o role studiów nad ojkonimami w badaniach nad pamiecia spoleczna. Omawiane w artykule zagadnienie to relacja miedzy miniona (i kulturowo obca) nazwa miasta a wspólczesnym konstruowaniem jego przeszlosci i wspólczesnej tozsamosci. Glównym watkiem analizy jest konstruowanie obecnosci/nieobecnosci przedwojennej nazwy Breslau we wspólczesnych dyskursach elit i mieszkanców Wroclawia. Dla zaprezentowania zagadnienia autorka analizuje przyklady strategii dyskursywnych pochodzacych z dyskursu akademickiego (historycznego i literaturoznawczego) oraz potocznego dyskursu mieszkanców Wroclawia (trzydziesci poglebionych wywiadów narracyjnych).
