poszerzya

Poszerzya is a term used in contemporary speculative discourse to describe the deliberate expansion of boundaries—whether in knowledge, perception, or practice. It is not a widely standardized term, and its meaning varies across sources. The word appears to be a neologism built from the Polish verb poszerzyć, meaning to widen, with a suffix commonly used to form nouns, yielding a designation for the process or outcome of widening.

In general, poszerzya refers to a process aimed at broadening scope and capacity. Proponents describe it as a deliberate orientation toward interdisciplinarity and inclusivity, seeking to widen problem definitions, data sources, methods, and stakeholder participation. It can be understood as a framework for expanding not only technical capabilities but also cultural and ethical horizons.

Applications are often described in speculative or theoretical contexts rather than as established practices. In design and urban planning, poszerzya might denote inclusive design processes that expand user representation and impact. In science and policy, it can refer to enlarging datasets, perspectives, and governance mechanisms to accommodate diverse stakeholders. Critics warn that without rigorous criteria, poszerzya risks vagueness or superficial broadening.

There is no consensus on a standard definition or origin, and the term remains relatively niche in online discussions and experimental writing. As such, poszerzya functions more as a conceptual lens than as a codified methodology, inviting further clarification and testing in specific contexts.
