Summary/Abstract: Remaining outside the main narrative, Silesia is under the process of uncontrolled transformation, which is partly accidental and partly a result of some external influences and tendencies. In the very center of reflection there is a human body with its intimacy and outline. The body acts in accordance with unconscious laws that are grounded in its individual constitution and are perceived as suspicion or presumption of intuition. Living-space has inherited postindustrial fascination of fast and pragmatic changes. Upper Silesia is located in carnality paradoxically - it is both present and absent to keep its identity. What is local, is a narration about it, a story which does not and exist and should not ever have existed.
