Między geografią a polityką. O pewnym międzywojennym dyskursie krajoznawczym

Abstract

The subject of the article is a description of the geographical-political discourse entered in the interwar tourist series “The Wonders of Poland”. The descriptions of regions of the prewar Republic of Poland included in the individual volumes were subjected by the authors to the symbolic polonization, which reduced the national diversity of the Polish state to the ethnographic patchwork dimension. The disclosure of these ideological mechanisms was enabled in this article by references to the research assumptions of imaginative geography, politics of place and politics of memory.
