  • Green Wrocław
    ISSN 2657-327X DOI 10.14746/pls.2020.6.1 Green Wrocław: Urban narratives of three post-war generations of Wrocław’s inhabitants Kamilla Biskupska (University of Opole, Faculty of Social Sciences) ORCID 0000-0002-6120-3405 Abstract This study is an invitation to reflect on issues that fall within the area of ​​collective memory, an area that awaits further in-depth analysis. More specifically, this article is a proposal of a broader study on cultural landscape and places of memory than that which is dominant in the sociological literature. In particular, I examine the relationship between the inhabitants of the Polish “Western Lands” and the material German heritage of the cities in which they happen to live. I mainly focus on the relation between socially constructed memory and greenery—a “negligible” part of the space of human life. As I demonstrate in the article, the “green” narrations about Wrocław created after World War II are lasting and are still present in the stories of city’s inhabitants today. Key words: Polish Western Lands, social memory, cultural heritage, greenery, Wrocław The cultural landscape as a lived landscape: A sociological perspective The starting point of my reflections is the concept of cultural landscape, which I under- stand as „a record of history in a specific space whose shape and identity are com- posed of both primary (coming from nature) and secondary (resulting from human activity) factors” (Kornecki 1991, 19). This definition, however, requires a clarification in the sociological perspective I adopt. The postulated „record of history in a specific space” is carried out by researchers most often in the macrosocial context—as in the definition of the cultural landscape proposed by Beata Frydryczak: Kamilla Biskupska the cultural landscape is the result of human work and activity and of historical time.
