The urban perspective in Elżbieta Tarkowska’s sociology

Abstract

_{This article aims to show the urban perspective in Elżbieta Tarkowska’s academic work. The scientist commonly associated with time, culture and poverty, undertook city-related topics in numerous publications, research and her didactic work. The result is a unique way of looking at the city. Based on her publications, in the article, we show points related to space-time, the transformation of the city in time, urban culture, its multi-sensuality and the lifestyles of the inhabitants of modern cities. Elżbieta Tarkowska’s urban perspective connected with trajectory, space-time, memory, micro-reliances and locality can be useful for other social researchers as a way to analyse cities and urban life.}
