Urban Communities and Memories in East-Central Europe in the Modern Age
This edited volume studies the logic of community formation and the common view of the past to show how various social bonds of communities functioned during the modern national era of East-Central Europe from the late eighteenth century until today and how multifaceted this group-building really was. Through an overview of selected examples of communities in East-Central European urban centres, mainly the territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its successor empires, the volume shows the potential of re-interpretation or adaptation of the past as a crucial tool for assuring social cohesion and for strengthening the image of group boundaries. It studies not only textual sources...
Society and Nation in Transnational Processes in Europe
The modern nation is an organisational form of society that has undergone numerous changes throughout history. The concept of the nation in Europe in the nineteenth century has been posed and answered in the past, but, as the basic conditions of its existence change, it is essential that this important question be asked again. Without doubt, the modern nation realizes the promises of solidarity and community which are so attractive to the masses, and has a profound effect on identity formation. Without these structures originally put in place by civil society, self-organization as the implementation of national thought is unimaginable. Understanding the necessity and the possibility of the designability of society through the idea of nation and the functionality of civil society determines the strength and stability of the national movement.

Rządzący i rządzeni. Opozycja polityczna w prowincji pruskiej w latach 1848-1862
Wyobrażenia liberalne i zasady myśli wstecznej, konkurując z sobą, określiły od pierwszych lat XIX stulecia wyjątkowe cechy życia politycznego w prowincji pruskiej; ich początkom poświęciłam swą książkę „Was heißt liberal?” Opozycja polityczna w Prusach Wschodnich w pierwszej połowie XIX w. (do 1847 r.). Program i działalność (Toruń 1998), jej tematyczną i problemową kontynuacją jest obecnie prezentowane opracowanie. Kontynuacja nie oznacza jednak identyczności ujęcia procesu politycznego i wprowadzenia, à rebours wobec rozważań nad podstawami myśli liberalnej, podobnych, poświęconych porewolucyjnemu konserwatyzmowi. To nie projekt intelektualny, czy to l...
