O (nie)zakorzenieniu w śląskości. Nowy Śląsk jako przestrzeń tworzenia się biografii

Abstract

New Silesia was the result of a communist project, that was implementing the vision of building a socialist world and creating a new man. This process had fundamental importance for people coming in masses to Upper Silesia to work and for their biographies to be constructed. In the article I present a trajectory reconstruction of the identity of a woman participating in the research. Her biography is an example of the identity processes related to the arrival and life in the „forming” city.
