COMMUNITY-TRADITION-VIOLENCE Polish culture and literature in the context of post-dependence.

17 Августа 2017

The topic of the conference was dictaded by a belief that reflecting upon the problematic aspects of the dependencies is one of the most vital tasks that the modern liberal arts are facing. We live in a world, where not only the „classical” forms of colonization (eg. XVI- XX century European empires' colonialism) need to be analysed. But also to look into their modern forms as well of which we are often unaware. Cultural, sexual or economical repression. These forms cause the subdued s t r a n g e r to be unable to speak for himself. More and more people are opting to apply methods developed by the post-colonial critic to research considering Central Europe. They share a view that this area has also been a colonial territory in the past. Consequences continue to impact local communities, shaping their mentality, culture and social life.

Re-Inwenting Eastern Europe, Euroacademia, Kraków

10 Марта 2015

Not a long time ago, a British lady was considered bigoted by Gordon Brown upon asking ‘all these Eastern Europeans what are coming in, where are they flocking from?’(1). The zoological word is not a novelty in the cultural invention of Eastern Europe. Maybe, despite her concern with the dangers of immigration for Britain, the lady was right in showing that such a question still awaits for answers in Europe. The ironic aspect however is that a first answer to such a question would point to the fact that the Eastern Europeans come from the Western European imaginary. As Iver Neumann puts it, ‘regions are invented by political actors as a political programme, they are not simply waiting to be discovered’(2).
