This book examines the intertwined relationship between contemporary Polish politics and national culture by focusing on the phenomenon of discrimination. The object of the analysis is the language of the League of Polish Families, a populist party that recreated the climate of pre-war National Democracy in Poland from 2001 to 2007 by negatively labeling the nation’s Others. Through the political party’s discourse of discrimination, the book grasps a peculiar moment of Poland that faced uncertainty of identity upon its accession to the European Union. By adopting a method of critical discourse analysis, the author attests to the party’s political use of different layers of national traditions in denigrating Jews, sexual minorities and feminists while sanctifying the Polish nation.
Yasuko Shibata, PhD, is lecturer at Collegium Civitas and the Polish-Japanese Institute of Computer Technology in Warsaw. Her latest research project at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the Polish Academy of Sciences concerns institutional discourse on Chopin’s music in Japan and Poland.
