Description

This innovative scholarly work by Routledge examines how residents of contemporary O wi cim construct and communicate meaning about their town's complex past. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and theoretical frameworks from George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman, the book investigates the interplay between memory, narrative and identity in a place marked by profound historical rupture. The author traces multiple temporal layers - pre-war Catholic-Jewish coexistence, Nazi occupation, the Holocaust and post-war Communist Poland - revealing how contemporary inhabitants negotiate these competing historical narratives. Through a synchronic, interactional approach, the study demonstrates how collective memory functions as a lived, performative process rather than fixed historical fact. This work contributes significantly to memory studies scholarship by grounding theoretical concepts in detailed ethnographic observation of how ordinary people remember, retell and make sense of traumatic history within their everyday social worlds.

Key Features

Based on fieldwork conducted in contemporary O wi cim, offering first-hand ethnographic insights into how residents construct and maintain collective memory.

Draws on established sociological theories from George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman to analyse interactional dimensions of historical memory and narrative.

Examines multiple historical periods including pre-war Catholic-Jewish relations, Nazi occupation, the Holocaust and Communist Poland within a single analytical framework.

Published by Routledge as part of the Memory Studies: Global Constellations series, positioning it within contemporary scholarship on memory and identity.

Employs a synchronic approach that reveals how past events remain actively constructed and negotiated in present-day social interactions.
