This paper examines the relationship between racism and the memory politics of the anti-communist underground in Poland. It explores a covert antisemitism behind the conservative nationalist hegemonic project of transforming the anti-communist underground into the ideologically charged symbol of the Cursed Soldiers. It demonstrates that under the c...
The article aims to analyse the mobilisation of a collective memory for political purposes by the Law and Justice party in Poland. PiS is often presented as a populist party, which came to power thanks to an anti-elite rhetoric and social programme. The party portrayed itself as a representative of socially excluded groups as well as a defender of...
This book analyses the relationship between history education and nationalism in the context of the dominant structures of collective memory in Poland. Drawing on original qualitative research with history teachers, it explores the ways in which teachers understand the aims of history teaching and how they teach history, with some contesting or neg...
Teksty zamieszczone w książce opowiadają o tym, co w podręcznikach historycznych znajdziemy, ale także i o tym, czego w nich nie ma, a co powoduje, że edukacja historyczna w polskich szkołach jest hybrydą historii akademickiej i polityki historycznej, ze szkodą dla nich obu zresztą. Pytamy o „płeć” narodu, śledzimy miejsce i rolę, jaką przypisano w...

The “invented” Muslim-migrants became contemporary “folk devils”. They are portrayed by the media – which play a crucial role in this process – as deviants, who pose a threat to the social order, national culture and values shared by all the Polish people. Thus, refugees, perceived en masse as Islamic fundamentalists, became an object of media symb...

Call for papers: conference Discources on Historical Education
The ultimate fall of grand universal narratives has brought back organic concepts of nations and ethnicities as dominant answers to crises (financial, demographic, military, populist, and migration). The decisive turn towards a nation, as opposed to an international union of various countries, in Europe is perceived as a solution to discords relate...
This paper aims to analyse Polish history teachers' understanding of the role of teaching history. Drawing on the results of qualitative research conducted in Wroclaw we argue that teachers see history education through the prism of nationalism. Teachers construct the past in equivocally nationalist terms. They regard nationalist representations of...

Poland and Ukraine jointly hosted the European Football Championship in 2012. The Polish media and government portrayed Euro 2012 as the culmination of the post-communist transformation that started in 1989, a great national celebration and proof that Poland belonged to the family of ‘modern’ nations. Drawing on ethnographic research, we look beyon...

In today’s world, cultural products, technologies, information and ideologies more and more permeate from one society to another, crossing all kinds of borders in the least expected way. Rap career is an illustration of this process. It was created in the late seventies a...
Kult przeszłości jest zawsze jednym z elementów ideologii nacjonalistycznej. Jeśli ta przeszłość jest zbyt skromna, nie wystarczająco bohaterska, szlachetna i wzniosła, bojownicy o święte narodowe interesy starają się wykreować jej lepszą, bardziej satysfakcjonującą wersję. Często także, zwłaszcza w sprzyjającej ku temu sytuacji społecznej i polity...
