Procesy restrukturyzacji a pamięć zbiorowa mieszkańców będzińskich i rudzkich osiedli postprzemysłowych

Abstract

Presented article describes memories and stories recalled by the residents of postindustrial estates of Będzin and Ruda Śląska. These stories tell about spaces, landscapes and places that have changed during their lifes. Analysis of interviews is focused particularly on residental areas and workplaces, but also includes some other places which came up during research and are significantly important to the interviewees. It is of interest how the interrelations between personal lifes and estates’ transformations reported in interviews can be described in terms of social and economical changes.
