Summary/Abstract: In the article Boundaries of the past. On dead-end situations on the example of the reportage by Aleksandra Łojek „Belfast. 99 ścian pokoju” I scrutinize the reality portrayed by the reporter in the context of various ways of understanding and experiencing boundaries. The situation in the Northern Ireland and entanglement in constant battle between memory and forgetting, between hatred and attempts at forgiving, constitute an exemplary situation of multiplying boundaries understood literally as separating some places from others, but also metaphorically as consequences of deeds that cannot be undone and considered as null and void. I am interested in pointing out the aforementioned boundaries and demonstrating that some relations generate a functioning in the shade of those boundaries, treated as doom and fate simultaneously.
