Roman Matykowski’s aim in this article is to examine this phenomenon from the perspective of geography, which in various periods of its development also used the achievements of other disciplines (e.g., sociology). In the second part his article, Matykowski uses the perspective of social geography to present selected results of his research on the specific regionalism in Cieszyn Silesia.
