Musealisierung und Geschichte sind zwei unterschiedliche Modi der Aneignung der Vergangenheit. Sie beschreiben gemeinsam das komplexe Verhältnis unserer Gegenwart zur Vergangenheit. Die Beiträge des Bandes beleuchten unterschiedliche Aspekte dieses Verhältnisses aus interdisziplinärer kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive und fokussieren sie auf die Institution Museum. Damit liefert das Buch einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur aktuellen kulturellen Diskussion um die Rolle des Museums in der gegenwärtigen Gesellschaft. Mit Beiträgen von Boris Groys, Gottfried Korff, Hermann Lübbe, Lutz Niethammer und Ulrich Raulff. »[Die] Lektüre des Sammelbandes [kann] allen empfohlen werden, die sich für Formen der Aneignung von Vergangenheit interessieren. Die inhaltliche Heterogenität der Beiträge, ein häufig monierter Nachteil von Sammelbänden, hat hier das Potenzial, kreative Energie für weiterführende Überlegungen freizusetzen.« Monika Sommer, H-Soz-u-Kult, 2005 Besprochen in: Nike-Bulletin (2005) Praxisjournal Buch, 17/3 (2006)

Societies across the world are becoming more polarized, as contending forces seek to advance incompatible agendas, with conflict being reflected in diverse areas of life. This is as true of Poland as it is of many other societies. The polarization over values in Polish politics was clear already before communism collapsed but became more obvious in the following years, reaching a crescendo after the October 2015 elections which brought a rightwing party into power in the parliament. This volume focuses on the years since 1989, looking at the clash between civic and uncivic values, with particular attention to voting behavior, political parties, antiSemitism, homophobia, the role of the Catholic Church, and reflections in history textbooks, film, and even Polish rock music. The rightwing regime’s efforts to undermine the independence of the media and the independence of the judiciary figure as parts of this struggle over values. What this volume makes clear is that, for the foreseeable future, the conflict between traditional/conservative values and liberal/civic values is likely to continue, provoking tensions and protests.

How do museums and cinema shape the image of the Communist past in today’s Central and Eastern Europe? This volume is the first systematic analysis of how visual techniques are used to understand and put into context the former regimes. After history “ended” in the Eastern Bloc in 1989, museums and other memorials mushroomed all over the region. These efforts tried both to explain the meaning of this lost history, as well as to shape public opinion on their society’s shared post-war heritage. Museums and films made political use of recollections of the recent past, and employed selected museum, memorial, and media tools and tactics to make its political intent historically credible. Thirteen essays from scholars around the region take a fresh look at the subject as they address the strategies of fashioning popular perceptions of the recent past.

This volume of essays and interviews by Polish, British, and American academics and journalists provides an overview of current Polish politics for both informed and non-specialist readers. The essays consider why and how PiS, Law and Justice, the party of Jarosław Kaczynski, returned to power, and the why and how of its policies while in power. They help to make sense of how “history” plays a key role in Polish public life and politics.The descriptions of PiS in Western media tend to rework old stereotypes about Eastern Europe that had lain dormant for some time. The book addresses the underlying question whether PiS was simply successful in understanding its electorate, and just helped Poland to revert to its normal state. This new Normal seems quite similar to the old one: insular, conservative, xenophobic, and statist.The book looks at the current struggle between one ‘Poland’ and another; between a Western-looking Poland and an inward-looking Poland, the former more interested in opening to the world, competing in open markets, and working within the EU, and the latter more concerned with holding onto tradition.The question of illiberalism has gone from an ‘Eastern’ problem (Russia, Turkey, Hungary, etc.) to a global one (Brexit and the U.S. elections). This makes the very specific analysis of Poland’s illiberalism applicable on a broader scale. (provided by publisher)
