E pluribus unum? Źródła i specyfika ruchów miejskich we współczesnej Polsce / E pluribus unum? Sources and specificities of urban movements in contemporary Poland
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
This article focuses on two threads: identification and interpretation of the sources of urban social movements in Poland, and an attempt to diagnose the phenomenon. Ideological tensions are shown to be present within the various strands of urban activism, to a varying degree seeking identity in connection with the traditional “right to the city”. We also look for synergy, a peculiar “unity in diversity” arising out of the conditions of a modern Central European city. The final part of the text consists of a quantitative analysis and an attempt to characterize urban movements, using Poznań as an example. The data sources used were exit polls and data from the National Electoral Commission.
