This microproject aims
at collecting and analyzing materials that illustrate the practice of the use
of urban space during diverse political, religious and cultural mass events. These materials allow us to trace how the
understanding of the city as urban space by its inhabitants changed throughout
time because of the change of the political context as well as because certain radical
political ideas became more or less popular.
The object of study are particular events in the life of the
city, such as religious procession, political demonstration, the welcoming
ceremony to a particular public figure or an unveiling of a monument. The main source is contemporary urban press,
where the aim is to cover as wide spectrum of periodicals as possible.
This microproject is
an integral part of project Lviv Interactive: completed research is displayed
on the map in junction with related objects, and the course of historical events
is thereby presented dynamically.
The author of the
microproject is Nazar Kis’, Junior Research Fellow, New History of Ukraine
branch of the Ivan Krypjakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the National
Scientific Academy of Ukraine
