A SALON OR A CITY GARAGE? AN ANALYSIS OF THE DISCOURSE ABOUT THE DISPUTE OVER THE DIRECTION OF TRANSFORMATION OF STAROWIEJSKA STREET IN GDYNIA

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the attitudes manifested in the conflict discourse around the functional changes occurring in one of the main streets of the city of Gdynia. By analyzing the content of the material collected during local consultations, several basic interpretative frames used by individual actors were identified. The application of discourse analysis to the collected data facilitated a reconstruction of the arguments given for specific variants of the proposed changes. It also helped to interpret the genesis, dynamics, and cultural background of these arguments. The study revealed the use of at least several dominant interpretative frames, including 1) rights and freedoms, 2) liveliness of street life, 3) modernity and 4) utility of public space.
