Silesia Superior: Narrative Uber Oberschlesien - Die Vielfalt Von Perspektiven

This volume is the result of research into Upper Silesia, an industrial region that has been influenced by three cultures over the past centuries: German, Polish and Czech. The regional cultural identity, the Silesian language, also played and still plays an important role here. While the first partial volume presented research into the region from a scientific, industrial, social and cultural perspective, the second partial volume takes a comparative, German-Polish approach and focuses on the motifs taken up by German and Polish writers, on the different ways in which the history and cultural phenomena of the region characterise its identity or are an expression of its cultural diversity.
