description | This paper attempts to answer the questions of how present perception and conceptualizations of everyday life in the city recreate representations of the past and the image of a long demolished neighbourhood of a workers’ colony, and how this image is used as a “mnemonic device” when narrators seek to respond to the perceived socio-spatial problems. We deal with what we call “oppressed memory” of a neighbourhood that does not exist in its “memory form” anymore, but is, though, lived as a communal memory space and used as a memory device to respond to the perceived current social and spatial problems of the city of Pilsen and beyond. |
