Democracy & Diversity Summer Institute TCDS announces the nineteenth annual Democracy & Diversity Summer Institute Wrocław [Vrot-swaf], Poland, July 10-26, 2010 The nineteenth Democracy & Diversity Summer Institute, organized by the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies (TCDS) of The New School for Social Research, will take place in Wrocław, Poland, from July 10–26, 2010. TCDS will again welcome up to forty junior scholars from around the world for this intensive program of study in society, culture and politics, centered on the theme “Citizens Without Borders.” As the strong ties of citizens to a specific territory have been loosening for some time already, we will explore the emergence of new aspirations, movements, and institutions that reflect this process of de-territorialization, and new practices that reshape identities and traditional notions of citizenship. Located between Berlin, Prague and Warsaw, Wroclaw, a once vibrant German metropolis called Breslau, was almost totally annihilated during World War II. Repopulated and rebuilt by Poles, now -- twenty years after the collapse of Communism -- it exhibits a complex, multi-layered European identity. We will draw from its culture of the borderlands, and from the hybridity of a place where west meets east and where the past is revealed, in order to enter into a dialogue with new identities in transition. The Wrocław Institute is organized in collaboration with the International Institute for the Study of Culture and Education at the University of Lower Silesia (DSW Wroclaw). Courses Cosmopolitanism and its Discontents -- GSOC5053; GPOL5053 Professor Andreas Kalyvas, Political Science, New School for Social Research Whether defined as moral and political theory, as ethical ideal and vision of justice – or as a discourse on social belonging that transcends the national, shapes new transnational identities, and advances the concept of flexible citizenship – cosmopolitanism, with the advent of globalization, has re-entered philosophical, social and political discourse as an alternative paradigm to the nation-state and bounded territorial communities. In a progressively integrated international context, cosmopolitanism seeks to re-imagine the world as a universal borderless polity and a place that could constitute a home for all. This seminar will examine the classical foundations of cosmopolitan thought in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and trace its modern reappearance in Western Enlightenment, engage in close examination of its relation to nationalism, democracy, liberalism, law, citizenship, feminism, capitalism, and empire, and consider some of its most vocal critics. Questions pertaining to the relationship between universalism and particularism, identity and difference, inclusion and exclusion, war and peace, and civic life and individual human rights will be central to the seminar's discussions. Globalization and the Politics of Public Memory -- GLIB 5304; GSOC 5145 Elzbieta Matynia, Sociology and Liberal Studies, New School for Social Research This course examines the politics of public memory which have become particularly tense at a time in which social and political systems are being dismantled and reconfigured, ethnic identity reemerges as a powerful source of conflict, and nation-states are challenged by new global arrangements. The concepts of nation, identity, and globalization will inform our examination of emblematic locations, among them the city of Wroclaw itself, with its multilayered Czech, Austrian, German and Polish pasts. We will discuss the relationship between history and memory, space and time, globalization and memorialization - as well as approaches to the crimes of the past in the transformations from authoritarian to democratic order, all while paying attention to representational strategies designed to elicit the "meaning" of memory sites, whether in public art or historic districts. We will apply a phenomenological approach to discuss memory as a wound, as an erosion, and try to grasp the social meaning of “good” memory. Finally, we will ask how to deal with the painful conditioning of memory in societies that are trying to build a new, better, and more just present. And how does one represent a volatile, multifarious and sometimes discredited past in a way that will enrich and amplify its interpretive possibilities rather than diminish them? Media, De-territorialization, and the Sociology of the Sphere of Publics – GSOC 5146 Jeffrey Goldfarb, Sociology, New School for Social Research The basis of our investigations will be a sociological understanding of how the electronic media disengages social space from physical space. We will proceed with the question of public life, moving from the analysis of the structural transformation of the public sphere toward the analysis of the making of publics and spheres of publics. We will move from a consideration of the public as a specific site for rational deliberation, toward the analysis of other key cultural forms of public action: appearance, display, embodiment, contestation, competition and other forms of political participation. This analysis will then be applied to a comparative examination of the mediated social interactions of de- territorialized citizens in social movements, addressing some major issues of our times: race, ethnicity and nation, global warming, human rights, the questions of war and peace. Migration, Integration, Citizenship in the EU and beyond: Political, Legal and Socio-economic Dimensions -- GPOL 5319; GSOC 5147 Claus Offe, Political Science, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin EU-Europe is presently just a few years away from the completion of internal mobility, i.e. the condition that all citizens of member states have equal residence and social rights in any of the member states. The resulting patterns of cross-border migration will be shaped by international wage differentials, linguistic barriers, and supply and demand in labor markets of member states. In addition, refugees, asylum-seekers, as well as job-seekers (legal as well as sans papiers ) will continue to come from countries and regions outside the EU, be it from neighboring regions (e.g., Ukraine), from former colonies of some member states, or from far-away places such as South Asia and, in particular, Africa. At the same time, migration policies in many of the old as well as the new member states have been shaped by increasing levels of xenophobic sentiments, security concerns, and populist elite policies, leading to a large number of new laws and regulations being adopted over the last decade (on citizenship, residence rights, integration, humanitarian and family rights, etc.) both at the national and the EU level. The course will explore some of the complex dynamics that determine politics and policies in the field of migration, integration, and citizenship and address the normative issues involved. Extracurricular Activities This year’s cultural program will include an exploration of architectural and historical landmarks of Wrocław, such as the modernist masterpiece Centennial Hall; Wrocław’s Old Jewish Cemetery, and the Quarter of Mutual Respect, where four temples of four different religions are in close proximity, including the famous White Stork Synagogue. The cultural program will also include evening sessions in Wrocław’s cultural and artistic institutions with prominent intellectuals and artists from the region. Accommodation The Institute participants will be housed in the Park Hotel of the Ośrodka Szkolenia Panstwowej Inspekcji Pracy conference center, located in Park Szczytnicki near the center of Wrocław. The hotel is close to the historical part of the city and walking distance from the famous Centennial hall. Shared accommodations will be arranged for participants in the modernist dormitory and classes will be held in the next-door conference center. Breakfast and lunch will be served in the hotel. Eligibility All applicants except for Eugene Lang College Candidates: Applicants (with the exception of those from Eugene Lang College) should have completed their undergraduate studies by the time of the Institute and should be either enrolled in an advanced degree program or working as junior university teachers or researchers. Preference will be given to those applicants who can demonstrate active involvement in civil society and civic life.

  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

  • Revitalisation As a Force Promoting Spatial Changes in Wrocław
    CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING REPORTS ISSN 2080-5187 CEER 2015; 17 (2): 73-81 DOI: 10.1515/ceer-2015-0023 REVITALISATION AS A FORCE PROMOTING SPATIAL CHANGES IN WROCŁAW Aldona KOŻAN1 Wrocław University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław, Poland Abstract The idea of revitalization, which grew out of the need to repair degraded urban spaces, has taken on a new meaning in the context of contemporary development challenges. The work includes references to the basic programme documents and strategies. It shows regeneration activities carried out in Wrocław in connection with the organization of international events, cultural and sport events, and with the improvement of spatial order. These actions contributed to the revitalization of the image of the city. The paper contains the results of these changes, the complementarity of decisions and their impact on social behaviour. Keywords: Wrocław, strategy, revitalisation programmes, investments for Euro 2012, public space, WUWA 2. 1. THESIS Revitalisation programmes have become a tool of socio - spatial transformations of a city, its most devastated and impoverished areas, as well as neglected historic buildings and sites; they were developed in parallel with visions of Wrocław development as a open, metropolitan city which cooperates with the region and plays a significant role in the country and Europe. The implementation of revitalization programmes is a long-term, multi-faceted and mutable activity, planned for many years. After a dozen years of intensive revitalization activities, a number of investments were realised, which contributed to a new quality of residents' lives and Wroclaw's built-up area. 1 Corresponding author: Wrocław University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, B.

  • The Characteristics of Cultural Tourists Who Visit Urban Jewish Heritage Centres: the Case Study of Visitors to the White Stork Synagogue in Wroc Ław
    DOI: 10.1515/tour-2016-0014 e-ISSN 2080-6922 ISSN 0867-5856 Tourism 2016, 26/2 Magdalena Duda-Seifert Wrocław University Institute of Geography and Regional Development Department of Regional Geography and Tourism [email protected] THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURAL TOURISTS WHO VISIT URBAN JEWISH HERITAGE CENTRES: THE CASE STUDY OF VISITORS TO THE WHITE STORK SYNAGOGUE IN WROC ŁAW Abstract: Since the White Stork Synagogue in Wrocław has been restored, opened to visitors and become a part of the so-called District of the Four Faiths promoted by the city council, both the synagogue and its neighbourhood have become tourist attractions which support Wrocław’s image as a multicultural city. Therefore, the aim of the article is to identify the characteristics of tourists visiting the synagogue which could help understand the specific features of those attracted by urban Jewish heritage. As a result of research with the use of surveys, interviews and observation, the highly emotive cognitive approach of tourists has been determined as the dominant feature in this niche market. Moreover, its strongly international character and its specific age and education structure have been pinpointed. These features form the basis for the conclusion that the tourists attracted by urban Jewish heritage form a very specific niche market which can be targeted especially by large cities through the development of themed tourist products. Keywords: cultural tourism, Jewish heritage, Wrocław. 1.

  • The Collective Memory of a City. the Case of Wrocław
    BARBARA PABJAN Institute of Sociology, University of Wrocław The collective memory of a city. The case of Wrocław What is the collective memory of a city and collective memory? Th is paper examines the collective memory of a city’s population. Th e col- lective memory of a city is defi ned here as a collective image of the city’s history, particularly in connection with the urban space. For a sociologist, a city is not only a material substance — urban space, buildings, but also the community which creates a city. Th erefore the collective memory of a city is associated with urban space and its meanings and the activity of its inhabitants (commemorative practices). Th is article proposes a sociological analysis of the memory of a city by which I mean an empirical study of 1) the collective knowledge of the inhabit- ants about their city’s past, 2) collective practices of commemoration. Collect- ive means shared by a substantial part of the population. Memory as knowledge about the past is framed and shaped by the social context and this is a fundamen- tal assumption for the sociological analysis of memory (Halbwachs 1950; Misztal 2006; Szacka 2006). Th e memory of the city’s past is represented in the collective memory of the city’s community as well as in urban space. Identity is an import- ant category of an analysis of collective memory. Memory and identity are con- cepts that are closely linked. Th e reconstruction of memory about the city is at the same time the reconstruction of the city’s identity: “Memory is knowledge with an identity-index, it is knowledge about oneself, that is, one’s own diachronic identity, be it as an individual or as a member of a family, a generation, a community, a na- tion, or a cultural and religious tradition” (Assmann 2008, 114).

  • Remembering and Belonging: Jewish Heritage and Civic Agency in Poland’S Haunted Urban Spaces1
    Special Issue — Edited by I. Pardo, G. B. Prato, J. Rosbrook-Thompson Urbanities, Vol. 10 · Supplement 3 ·February 2020 Ethnographies of Urbanity in Flux: Theoretical Reflections © 2020 Urbanities Remembering and Belonging: Jewish Heritage and Civic Agency in Poland’s Haunted Urban Spaces1 Hana Cervinkova Juliet D. Golden (Maynooth University) (Syracuse Abroad, Central Europe Program) [email protected] [email protected] In the context of Poland’s recent illiberal turn, large cities have been important stages where the fault lines of the national imaginary that run through Polish society have become apparent. In this article, based on ethnographic research in the Polish city of Wroclaw, we focus on individual cultural agents who have engaged with the marginalised Jewish heritage of the city in constructing diverse imaginaries of urban belonging. Their work, carried out against the backdrop of exclusionary nationalist agenda of the Polish state, illuminates the power of human agency to harness cultural heritage as a social and political resource for the present. We show how through their urban-based practices, these cultural agents challenge the Polish hegemonic heritage discourses that exclude the Other from the national imaginary. Keywords: Jewish heritage, urban space, identity, belonging, civic agency, Breslau, Wroclaw, Poland. Introduction In this article, we focus on civic agency of individuals in contemporary urban Poland, who through their practices engage in the production of diverse urban imaginaries. Our ethnographic study draws on interviews and observations of people and institutions that specifically build their activity on sites of or in reference to the Jewish heritage of the city of Wroclaw.
