Domenica 13 gennaio il sindaco di Danzica Pawel Adamowicz è stato accoltellato su un palco durante una manifestazione di beneficenza, ed è spirato nella giornata di lunedì. Adamowicz era primo cittadino dal 1998 e aveva visto riconfermarsi il ruolo nelle comunali di ottobre.Questo omicidio ha sollevato un ampio dibattito: c'è chi, come Agata Pyzik, parla di “primo omicidio di un politico motivato ideologicamente”, di fatto denotandolo come delitto politico.Secondo una diversa lettura si tratta invece della conseguenza di un clima politico che è andato inasprendosi negli ultimi anni, non solo in Polonia ma a livello internazionale.Le molte manifestazioni che sono state organizzate a partire da domenica sera dimostrano come la Polonia sia un Paese ancora in grado di stringersi e riunirsi per far sentire la propria voce.Ne parla Fabio Turco, di Centrum ReportAscolta l'intervista

Explore the meaning and story behind one of David Bowie's most iconic songs. In 1973, while travelling by train across the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, David Bowie had a brief and seemingly insignificant stopover in Warsaw. However, what he witnessed there, and elsewhere in the Eastern Bloc, served as an inspiration for Warszawa from the widely-acclaimed 1977 album Low. In this episode, our hosts John and Nitzan will look deeper into the origins of this iconic song. Why was Bowie so fascinated with Eastern Europe and the nature of Cold War politics in the first place? How did the sights and sounds that Bowie witnessed during his brief time in Warsaw impact the song’s creation?  What were the inspirations for the sonorous yet mysterious lyrics found in the song?  And finally, our hosts will attempt to answer arguably the most perplexing question – is Warszawa even about Warsaw?

Jeune auteure et journaliste, Agata Pyzik écrit pour le Guardian, New Statesman ou encore pour The Wire. Son travail traite principalement du post communisme et des émergences culturelles dans les pays de l'est. Son premier ouvrage, Poor But Sexy. Culture Clashes in Europe East and West (Zero Books 2014), est sorti à l'automne et a été élu livre de l'année par RoughTrade. Elle y dépeint les pays émergents du bloc communiste à l'aube de son déclin, entre fascination consumériste et foisonnement artistique.

Agata Pyzik, Polish cultural critic and author of "Poor But Sexy", reflects on divisions between Eastern Europe and the West and the prejudice she sees against Eastern European migrants. "I don't want to feel I have to conceal my history in order to pass for somebody worthwhile in English conversation, or to be ashamed that my country was historically poorer or was a part of the Eastern bloc," she says.
