The Meaning of Place Reconstructed from the Perspective of Biographical Experiences
Abstract
The aim of the article is to show the meaning of place in narrators’ life. The basis of the analysis is the narration which I heard when carrying out biographical research among of the residents of Machów. In the early 1950s, sulphur was discovered in this area and the decision was made to build a mine. As a consequence, the residents of Machów were resettled. I carried out research with the resettled persons based on a narrative interview. My narrator moved out of Machów together with his parents and siblings in 1960. He currently works as a missionary in Madagascar.
