Ossowski, in this way is created our primary identity (connected with region- private homeland), which has permanent, constant character. Appreciation ofthe importance of regions in Europe (in the contemporary Europe of regions), has emancipatory character (dimension) to them, but from the other hand – it runs pluralization of discoursesaround it, which elements and plots are condition sine qua non, attributive to theirs genius loci.In this way idea of region both connectinganddivididing, because of existing social movements and “against” movements in a given regions. This social movements are focusing supporters andopponents of some plots about post-Germanpast on area of West and North Poland.
