Black Roman – Cultural Report about “Walking Warsaw Legend”

Abstract

This “anthropological report” investigates a phenomenon which has not so far been analyzed but which seems by all means worthy of attention of the Warsaw culture researcher. The authentic figure of Black Roman is presented in the context of urban legends and contemporary mythological practices. It appears to emerge at the intersection of the Internet cultures and real urban space.

Keywords:

urban space, urban legend, anthtopology, mythological practices, Warsaw
