Z rozmów drohobyckich w listopadzie 2006 roku

The author contrasts history tantamount to “thinking back” (history focusing on that, which happened in the past) with such reflections on history, which become the reason why ”while talking about the past we enter together with history into the future”. Such “entering with history into the future” remains a ”fascinating journey into the past” but is also “management of the present” and managing ”borderland” space conceived as the site of meeting, conversation, and co-operation. The backdrop of reflections pursued in the presented sketch is composed of the phenomenon of the Ukrainian-Polish milieu, which undertakes ”organic work” and co-creates the Bruno Schulz Festival in Drohobych.
