SUMMARY:Twentieth Century Polish History Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Public Responses to the Renaming of Commemorative Street Names in Post-communist Poland: Daily Lives\, Experiences of Change and Sense of Place.\n \nThe collapse of communism in Eastern Europe did not bring about widespread destruction of the material heritage of communist dictatorships in the region. In fact\, given that on the whole public acceptance of the regime change has been high\, the process of de-commemoration has been more contested than anticipated. This paper focuses on the process of de-commemoration after the fall of communism in Poland. It examines urban residents’ responses to the renaming of streets\, paying close attention to the practices and discursive strategies they adopted to resist change. Investigating these responses provides a means of understanding the multifaceted aspects of the contested nature of de-commemoration and sheds light on the ways in which the top-down remaking of urban streetscapes affected local residents. It also enables us to better understand the nature of the post-communist transition in the region and provides insights into the everyday conflicts that underlie symbolic change.\n\nEwa Ochman is a Senior Lecturer in East European Studies in the Department of History at the University of Manchester and a member of the Centre for the Cultural History of War. She is the author of Post-communist Poland: Contested Pasts and Future Identities and has published on issues relating to Polish politics of memory\, difficult heritage\, and state-sponsored history after 1989 in Journal of Contemporary History\, Memory Studies\, History and Memory\, Nationalities Papers\, East European Politics and Societies\, and Cold War History. She is currently working on a book-length study of the history of post-communist de-commemoration in Poland.\n\n\nThe seminar will take place online.
