The journeys of the Krzeszowice Gladiator. A case study

Maria Godyń

Abstract

The article analyses the process of revitalising selected areas of the urban space in Krzeszowice. This project, undertaken by the town authorities, aims to change the existing order and create a new one, using carefully selected motifs from the town’s past. This project leads to a conflict between the authorities and the local community, presenting mutually exclusive viewpoints. The opinion of the majority is not always taken into account. The whole process is accompanied by a reinterpretation of social memory. The present article is an attempt to show the connection between aspects of revitalisation and the issue of memory, with Krzeszowice as an example.

Keywords:
