Zastosowanie metody biograficznej w dokumentowaniu faktów i stanów śyjiadomości społecznej w sierpniu 1980 roku

Abstract

The article discusses the course and results of a competition organized by the Polish Sociological Society for memoirs documenting the events of August 1980- in Gdańsk. The author analyses the collected materials from the point of view of two criteria: a) information criterion (a description of events contained in memoirs as a historical source), c) sociological criterion (memoirs as documents of the authors' states of consciousness). The competition materials have been analysed and are available in a typewritten form in the Polish Academy of Sciences Library in Gdańsk.
