„Po co komu taka uliczka i tramwaj donikąd?” „Miejsca palimpsestowe” w przewodnikach i spacerownikach miejskich dla dzieci

Abstract

“And who needs the little street like that and the tram to nowhere?” “Palimpsest places” in the guidebooks and city walk books for children The article’s main subject of analysis is the category of “palimpsest places” inscribed in guidebooks and walk books for children by Ewa Stadtmüller, Paweł Beręsewicz, Anna Czerwińska-Rydel, Marta Gaj, Katarzyna Kulik and Agnieszka Idziak. The article addresses two issues. The first part includes genological specificity of Baedeker and walker with particular emphasis on the works for children. These books represent an intermediate form between non-literary and literary texts, combine an informational and an educational function, an instruction of journey/trip/walk for a young tourist with the elements of literary creation of the city’s space. In the second part of the article author focuses on a problem of textological look at the geographical spaces (Warszawa, Kraków, Szczecin, Łódź, Poznań, Galicja, Otwock), which structure is similar to the palimpsest. These are the multicultural areas with multi-layered and ambiguous historical and cultural past. The writer refers to the metaphor of a “palimpsest place” taken from the works of Elżbeta Rybicka, as well as to the other conceptual tools developed on the basis of humanistic geography and geopoetry (space and place, toponymy, heterotopia).
