Its inhabitants, descendants of medieval Germanic settlers, for many centuries used their own language, which was incomprehensible to their neighbours, namely the Vilamovian language. They also preserved their own customs and costumes. After the 2nd World War, the process of forgetting the Vilamovian heritage began. It was only in the 21st century that young activists from Wilamowice started to work on the revitalization of local culture. Their goal was to document and reconstruct selected elements of local heritage. By involving the inhabitants of Wilamowice in various activities which they undertook, they influenced the way people perceived their own heritage and affected the process of constructing modern Vilamovian identity. In this article I analyse these ongoing processes of “intensive work of heritage”}, type={Text}, title={Intensywna praca dziedzictwa – działania liderów w miasteczku Wilamowice}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/235570/270710.pdf}, keywords={Wilamowice, heritage, tradition}, }
