Galizien als Archiv (in German)
Magdalena Baran-Szoltys
Synopsis "Galizien als Archiv (in German)"
How do people travel to historical spaces like Galicia today and, above all, what for? This book offers answers to those questions by analysing contemporary representations of Galicia in Polish and German-language literary texts and journalistic travel accounts. Magdalena Baran-Szoltys sheds light on the role of travels to historical spaces and then develops the thesis of Galicia as an archive/archival space in which certain themes, myths, material relics etc. are stored. She determines three types of archives: historical-literary, idiosyncratic and family. The model designed for the study of such journeys provides revealing insights and can be applied to other spaces in Europe with similar characteristics, e.g. Bukovina.
