Thesis Title: Enormous Entity: The Palace of Culture and Science versus Warsaw

About
I am writing about the relationship between the Palace of Culture and Science, a 231-metre high Stalinist skyscraper which dominates central Warsaw, and the contemporary city. I am particularly interested in examining whether and how non-human, material entities like buildings and streets, as well as allegedly abstract, intangible entities like history, memory and the economy, possess the capacity to exert an autonomous impact on the field of relations between Warsaw and the Palace.
According to John Law, ‘There are no last instances.’ (Law 1991: 8) Unconvinced by this foreclosure, I would like to find out whether any entity which 'determines in the last instance' the relations between a building and a city can in fact be discerned.
