Warszawska Praga. Autoportret rozproszony.
Warszawska Praga. A Scattered Self-portrait

Summary/Abstract: This text is an abbreviated version of a licentiate dissertation written in 2006 after two years of research carried out under Dr. Anna Kaczynski in the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at Warsaw University. It is also an attempt at portraying the often complicated relations between Praga and its inhabitants (or rather, the assorted visions of Praga cultivated by its residents and other participants of the processes transpiring in this district). The study contains theoretical deliberations on the identity of a place and a nostalgic view of the world which, in the author’s opinion, comprises, and continues to do so, an essential component of the image of this part of Warsaw.
