Doświadczenie „wielkiej zmiany” z perspektywy lokalnej – przykład Wisłoka Wielkiego
Thee Bottom-up Perpective on the „Great Change” – Wisłok Wielki Case

Summary/Abstract: In recent decades anthropological and sociological study about „Polish transition” flourished especially after the theoretical matrix of „cultural trauma” was introduced. The article is an attempt to make an empirical refutation of the theory and base on the fieldwork carried out between 2010 and 2011 in Wisłok Wielki. The study aimed at the reconstruction the “bottom-up” experiences of the changes taking place in Poland since ‘89. The obtained data allowed to critical review of the theory of „trauma of great change”, showing that a much wider range of social and cultural factors affects the way people experience and classify changes. The key metaphors that organize discourse of the change are connected with the chain of oppositions, such as past and present with axiological emphasis on the past, mobility-immobility, maturity-immaturity, etc.
