Wyobrażanie krajobrazu po przemyśle w gminie Kleszczów – szkic antropologiczny o pewnej dziurze
Imagining the post-industrial landscape in the municipality of Kleszczów – an anthropological sketch about a certain hole

Summary/Abstract: The area of the Kleszczów municipality has been the subject of ethnographic research since the 1960s. Ethnographers from Łódź attempted to research this area before the radical transformation of the landscape (discovery and exploitation of lignite). After 60 years, we returned to the field with a similar intention to capture through an ethnographic lens the moment before another change, this time related to the plan to close the mine. This article is primarily intended to present how residents imagine the future of the place where they live in connection with the upcoming change – the transformation of the „Big Hole” into an artificial water reservoir and giving this area a tourist character.
