Śląsk Cieszyński: spojrzenie na regionalizm z perspektywy geografii społecznej

Abstract

The multidimensionality and multifacetedness of relations between residents and the area they inhabit in the form of regionalism, as well as the activities of organizations aimed at the development of pro-regional attitudes have found themselves in the field of interest of various scholarly disciplines, including geography. Roman Matykowski’s aim in this article is to examine this phenomenon from the perspective of geography, which in various periods of its development also used the achievements of other disciplines (e.g., sociology). In the second part his article, Matykowski uses the perspective of social geography to present selected results of his research on the specific regionalism in Cieszyn Silesia.
