Abstract
An embodied archive of peasant history
During the conference, I would like to talk about my recent practice on the peasant history of Polish society in the context of my personal research on trauma. Using therapeutic methods of working with the body, I try to reach hidden content, create a kind of embodied archive that carries a collective history.
Keywords: trauma, healing, somatic memory, identity, peasantry
