Geschichtskultur im Strukturwandel: Öffentliche Geschichte in Katowice nach 1989

The traditional industrial and mining metropolis of Katowice is being transformed into center of culture and technology. The study discusses this forward-looking transformation, examining how it was reconciled with historical tradition. What kinds of historical narrative arise in times of rapid change? How is historical meaning constructed and what are the functions of official history during times of structural change?

Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Wissenschaftlichen Förderpreis des Botschafters der Republik Polen 2015 ausgezeichnet.
