- Citizenship is usually seen as a product of modern nation-states, or of other political entities which possess institutional infrastructures and political systems capable of producing a coherent framework that defines the relationship between that system and its members. In this paper, we show that an early system of modern citizenship was created in the absence of a formal state, notably by the cultural elite of a stateless nation. The Polish case illustrates that an elite may become a dominant class in the given society only later, and institutionalize that early citizenship system within the framework of a newly founded state. As a result of the legacy of the emergence of citizenship predating the restoration of statehood, the contemporary Polish citizenship model is influenced by a strong and largely overlooked cultural component that emerged at the turn of the 19th century. This model uses the figure of the intelligentsia member as its ideal citizen. Despite the dramatic political and economic changes in the decades which have passed since its emergence, this cultural frame, which was institutionalized during the interwar period, still defines the key features of the Polish citizenship model. Consequently, we argue that the culturalization of citizenship is hardly a new phenomenon. It can be seen as a primary mechanism in the formation of civic polities within the imperial context. Moreover, it shows that such processes can have many ambiguous aspects as far as their Orientalizing forces of exclusion are concerned.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article is an attempt at a fairly detailed analysis of TV series "A Forty-Year-Old " in its first edition from the 1970s. The text proposes an interpretation of the film from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu's theory, and in particular reconstructs the social space of the film's protagonists, which consists of, in particular, the intelligentsia elite, the nomenklatura, lower intelligentsia and medium technical personnel. In the picture outlined by the authors of the film, the role of the intelligentsia, in particular its multi-generation, old elite, is dominant. This vision does not fully agree with the real place of the intelligentsia in Poland of the Gierek era. For this reason the film is interpreted by the authors of the article as a voice of the scriptwriters in favor of the appreciation of the intelligentsia, both in respect of the lower technical staff and the part of the nomenclature less rich in cultural capital. The interpretative framework proposed in the text seems useful for the analysis of other works of art in relation to the reconstruction of social relations of the times when they were created.

- After World War II, Polish nobility was commonly considered an obsolete social group because of the post-1945 confiscation of their properties and the decline of their legal and political privileges. From a formal point of view, the Polish nobility had ceased to exist. However, this group did not simply vanish. For this reason, we should not speak of the disintegration of the former noble milieu but rather its reorganization. To expand deliberation on these “reorganization strategies” with the use of appropriate sociological tools, this article analyzes major social actors in contemporary Poland who use their noble legacies in their collective identity-building practices.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The text starts with a supportive opinion on the concept of the Global East, evaluating it as a convincing and useful tool for the development of critical studies on the so-called post-communist or the second world in a wider global perspective. In the remaining comments, several reasons for possible problems with the broader implementation of the proposed concept are discussed. They include both the resistance which it could encounter in Central and Eastern Europe, and broader, structural reasons why introducing it as a frame parallel to the Global South paradigm may be problematic. Among the examples of similar issues with new theoretical projects, the experience of the complex and not always enthusiastic reception of the post-colonial theory in Poland is briefly discussed.

Recension (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Polskie wydanie książki Larry’ego Wolffa "Wynalezienie Europy Wschodniej. Mapa cywilizacji w dobie Oświecenia" pojawia się z opóźnieniem ponad ćwierć wieku w stosunku do wydania oryginału. Rzecz to godna ubolewania. Warto zwrócić uwagę, że książka znacznie wcześniej ukazała się w Rosji (2003), a także na Ukrainie (2009). Z drugiej jednak strony opóźnienie ma zaletę, pozwala bowiem jeszcze wyraźniej dostrzec aktualność pracy znanego nowojorskiego historyka.

The Polish Elite and Language Sciences : A Perspective of Global Historical Sociology
- 2022. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book revisits the modern history of Poland, from the perspective of its social sciences. The book makes this case study a model for the application of Bourdieu’s approach to the historical analysis of non-core Western societies. The book is, in other words, a reflexive study of the application of Bourdieu’s social theory. At the same time, it also critically studies the application of Western social theory in Poland, which is largely seen as a peripheral country. The study of Polish social sciences, with particular emphasis on linguistics and literary studies, points to the peculiar dynamics of peripheral intellectual and academic fields and their external dependencies. These insights offer a critical extension of Bourdieu’s theory of state and social elites beyond the Western core focusing on how the theories can be used in the reinterpretation and expansion of post-colonial theory, global history and comparative studies of post-communism. The book will be suitable for scholars and students of all those interested in the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu, global historical sociology, societies in Central and Eastern , socio-linguistics, literary studies and political sociology.
