Pogranicze jako dziedzictwo w narracjach mieszkańców Chochołowa na Podhalu
The borderlands as heritage in the narratives of the inhabitants of Chochołów in Podhale

Summary/Abstract: In this article I present and analyse the narratives about the state border that I heard from the inhabitants of Chochołów – a village located at the Polish-Slovak borderline. All the narratives regarding various moments from the past, both remembered personally and constituting a kind of post-memory, I treat as elements of local heritage. I try to show in which way the Chocholovian people’s memory contribute to perceiving local borderline situation, even if nowadays the border doesn’t play a significant role in everyday life of inhabitants of the village.
