„Duch Piramidy” : podróż w czasie i przestrzeni w kontekście sowieckiego osiedla górniczego w Arktyce

Dominika Czarnecka

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the history of the foundation and decline of a Soviet mining settlement on Spitsbergen – Pyramiden. In this text, the space and everyday life of the settlement have been described from two different perspectives. The first one is the perspective of a former resident of the town who from his personal memories and videotapes has constructed the image of the communist mini-utopia of the past. The second perspective belongs to the Efterklang band whose members have come to the ghost town to complete a musical project. Thus, juxtapositions presented in the contemporary documentary “The Ghost of Piramida” breed questions about space and time

Keywords:
