ABSTRACT
Establishing what role conflict plays in contemporary democracies, how antagonism may be transformed into agonism and what are the necessary conditions for dialogue is not only an intellectual challenge, but also a duty we must face up to as societies become ever more diverse culturally and problems inhering in the process multiply. In this chapter my intention is to map the transition from antagonism to agonism to chances for dialogue in a particular conflict situation involving Romanian Roma immigrants, Wrocław’s municipal authorities, and the city’s residents.
