A volume of interdisciplinary studies on literature, culture, education and language in Gdansk, tracing the layers of its multicultural and multilingual past in the modern city.
The studies collected in this volume offer multidisciplinary perspectives on modern Gdansk. The chapters provide insight into the city’s literature and culture, analysing works by leading Polish authors, exploring the complexities of the commemoration of the Jewish presence, as well as illuminating the city’s Christian heritage, enshrined in its Bibles and churches. A similar focus on the past and the present marks the studies of the models of education in Gdansk before the Second World War and after the fall of communism. Finally, linguistic analyses of internet corpora address the issues of the living language spoken in Gdansk as well as used to describe the city. Collectively, the contributors paint a picture of an open, vibrant and innovative city proud of its multicultural and multilingual past.
Dr hab. Aneta Lewińska is Professor of Linguistics at the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Gdańsk, Poland. She specializes in Pomeranian studies and glottodidactics, especially teaching Polish as a first and second/foreign language.
