O metodologii badan kultury pamieci miasta postsocjalistycznego (na przykładzie współczesnego Wilna)
On the Methodology of Research of the Culture of Memory of the Post-socialist City (the Example of Contemporary Vilnius)

Summary/Abstract: The principal objective of this paper is to analyze the issue of the contemporary city and its memory. The end of the 20th century has brought an increased number of works on the memory of a city. This phenomenon has amplified the development of urban studies architecture, geography and human studies as well. In this way, a so-called “spatial turn” took place. The “spatial turn” term refers to the change in thought of social and human scientists to the space that does not determine social action but provides a context for it. Space facilitates social action and creates a stimulus for social action to take place. Any city and its space have their own “language” speaking to us through their topographies, landscapes, architecture, art – anything that shapes the city’s aura and registers it in the memory culture. It can be reconstructed on the basis of various and rich urban representations.
