Minorities in Poland. General information Poland is a country characterized by considerable ethnic, cultural, and linguistic homogeneity. Yet, in the Polish census of 2011 (GUS 2015, 29), 96.2% of the country’s inhabitants declared themselves to be of Polish nationality and ethnicity, while only 3.8% declared themselves as having another national or ethnic status. Before the Second World War, national minorities had constituted more than 30% of Poland’s population, but the country’s ethnic structure was to be greatly influenced by the conflict. The main factors were the mass extermination of Jews, mass relocations and the displacement of population, migration, and the great territorial shift experienced by Poland’s borders in 1945. Today, the most numerous national minorities in Poland are Germans, Belarusians, and Ukrainians, followed by the other smaller national minorities of Lithuanians, Russians, Slovaks, Jews, Armenians, and Czechs, and the ethnic minorities of the Karaims, Lemkos, Romani and Tatars, and the regional linguistic minority of the Kashubians. Some of these minorities (Jews, Armenians, Russians, Romani and Czechs) find themselves dispersed throughout the country, whereas others inhabit compact territories along the state borders. 2. Legal regulations concerning minorities Polish legislation guarantees national and ethnic minorities the right to preserve and develop their languages, preserve their customs and traditions, develop their culture, establish their own educational institutions, and to freely conduct religious observances. Moreover, the legislation grants election privileges to the electoral committees of minority organizations and it prohibits discrimination. The aforementioned national and ethnic minorities may be granted the right to use their languages locally as “supporting languages” for communication. Yet, in accordance with Article 27 of Poland’s Constitution, Polish is the country’s only official language. Nevertheless, mutual relations between Polish and other languages do not seem to generate any conflicts, although they do give rise to some issues of 132 Toponyms of selected communes with minority languages in north-eastern Poland identity. Such issues are regulated by laws and other legal acts, including the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the Electoral Law, the Law on the Education System, the Law on Broadcasting, the Law on the Polish Language, the Criminal Code, the Law on Personal Data Protection, the Law on Ethnic and National Minorities and Regional Language. The Law on Ethnic and National Minorities and Regional Language permits a minority or regional language to be used in selected communes as a “supporting language” in dealings with commune authorities and in judicial proceedings in a court of first instance. It also states that alongside Polish geographical names, traditional names in the minority or regional language may be used as supplementary names for localities, physiographical objects and streets. A supplementary name can be established by a motion brought before a commune council, provided the minority constitutes not less than 20% of the commune’s total population or – in those cases where the minority does not reach 20% – on the condition that the establishment of a supplementary name has the support of more than half the commune’s inhabitants as expressed in a public consultation. The same regulations apply to the names of physiographical objects and streets. The motions brought before the commune councils need to count on the positive assessment of the Commission on Names of Localities and Physiographical Objects. The Law states that supplementary names should be placed after the corresponding name in Polish and that they cannot be used independently. Today, the Register of Communes where supplementary names in minority languages or in a regional language are used includes a total of 60 communes. Since 2006, supplementary names in German, Kashubian, Lithuanian, Lemko, and Belarusian have been accepted, in accordance with the procedure outlined above, for more than 1,200 localities (see Map 1). 133 Urszula Bijak & Barbara Czopek-Kopciuch (†) Map 1. Communes with supplementary names (as mapped by Paweł Swoboda) 3. Podlaskie Voivodship as a borderland region In this paper, we discuss the aforementioned issues drawing on two examples of communes in the region of Podlaskie Voivodship: the commune of Orla (inhabited by the Belarusian minority, which constitutes almost 69% of the commune’s population) and the commune of Puńsk (inhabited by Lithuanians, who constitute almost 76% of the total population). The north-eastern territories of Poland, i.e. present-day Podlaskie Voivodship (the historical area around the towns of Białystok and Suwałki), are a borderland region. In the 10th and 11th centuries, the area was first inhabited by a population of Baltic, Polish and Ruthenian origin, becoming a melting pot of languages (Baltic and West and East Slavic), 134 Toponyms of selected communes with minority languages in north-eastern Poland cultures, and religions (Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox Church). As the history of the region is very complex, and we do not have space here to do it justice, we focus instead on providing an outline of the area’s linguistic landscape. The dialects of four languages are used here: Polish, Belarusian, Lithuanian, and Russian. Polish dialects dominate in the area surrounding the town of Suwałki, Belarusian dialects are to be found in the area to the north-east of the town of Białystok, Lithuanian dialects are clustered in the north-eastern part of the Suwałki region (specifically, in the communes of Puńsk, Sejny, Szypliszki, and Berżniki), and Russian dialects spoken by Orthodox Old Believers (who settled here in the 17th century) are to be heard near the towns of Suwałki, Sejny, and Augustów. All these dialects are internally heterogeneous and display many transitional features, e.g. mixed Polish-Belarusian qualities. The communities typically use both a primary language (the one spoken at home), which is mainly a dialect, and the Polish language (as the language of prestige). Processes of language integration are also present (Barszczewska, Timoszuk, 2016, 19–28). 3.1. Belarusian and Lithuanian minorities According to the 2011 Polish census, the Belarusian minority traditionally inhabits the south-eastern part of the Podlaskie Voivodship. Belarusians constitute 87% of the population of eight communes (Bielsk Podlaski, Czyże, Dubicze Cerkiewne, Hajnówka, Kleszczele, Narew, Narewka and Orla). In four of these communes (Czyże, Hajnówka, Narewka and Orla), Belarusian has been introduced as a “supporting language” but supplementary names in Belarusian have only been adopted in one commune, that of Orla. Lithuanians are a national minority traditionally living in the northern part of the Podlaskie Voivodship (66% of inhabitants declaring themselves to be of Lithuanian nationality live there). The minority essentially live in the following three communes: Puńsk, Sejny and Szypliszki. In Puńsk, Lithuanian has been introduced as a “supporting language”. In 2008, the same commune applied for the establishment of 30 supplementary names in the minority language (the commune as a whole is made up of 33 localities/hamlets) (see GUS 2015 and Map 2). 135 Urszula Bijak & Barbara Czopek-Kopciuch (†) Map 2.

Sfera wyznaniowa, narodowościowa, etniczna czy związana z językiem regionalnym stanowią istotny składnik tożsamości w wymiarze zarówno indywidualnym, jak i zbiorowym. Jednym z przejawów wolności odzyskanej przez Polskę w 1989 roku stała się swoboda stowarzyszeń oraz poszanowanie tożsamości wyznaniowej i narodowościowej lub etnicznej. Polska, mimo iż jest krajem bardziej jednorodnym niż większość innych krajów europejskich, jest wspólnym domem także dla osób zakorzenionych w kulturze mniejszości narodowych, etnicznych czy korzystających z języka regionalnego.

This thesis aims at analysing the ways tourism advertisements contribute to the nation’s representation to Belarusians. The study’s objectives concentrate on the formulation of the most recurring cultural representations of Belarusian nation portrayed in the advertisements and evaluation of their contribution to nation-building processes. In the following thesis, I am answering the research questions regarding the markers of cultural representation (e.g., signs, symbols) seen in tourism advertising contributing to Belarusian identity, their cultural connotations, and the differences in the representation of such symbols in governmental and private Belarusian tourist advertisements. Since the thesis is analysing Belarusian national identity features, I also provide a historical and political background of the republic since the thirteenth century. By doing so, the reader gets a comprehensive picture of the events that influenced the problem of national identity and the topicality of this issue nowadays.

  • Re-Branding a Nation Online: Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism
    Re-Branding a Nation Online Re-Branding a Nation Online Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism Magdalena Kania-Lundholm Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Sal IX, Universitets- huset, Uppsala, Friday, October 26, 2012 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Kania-Lundholm, M. 2012. Re-Branding A Nation Online: Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism. Sociologiska institutionen. 258 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-506-2302-4. The aim of this dissertation is two-fold. First, the discussion seeks to understand the concepts of nationalism and patriotism and how they relate to one another. In respect to the more criti- cal literature concerning nationalism, it asks whether these two concepts are as different as is sometimes assumed. Furthermore, by problematizing nation-branding as an “updated” form of nationalism, it seeks to understand whether we are facing the possible emergence of a new type of nationalism. Second, the study endeavors to discursively analyze the ”bottom-up” processes of national reproduction and re-definition in an online, post-socialist context through an empirical examination of the online debate and polemic about the new Polish patriotism. The dissertation argues that approaching nationalism as a broad phenomenon and ideology which operates discursively is helpful for understanding patriotism as an element of the na- tionalist rhetoric that can be employed to study national unity, sameness, and difference. Emphasizing patriotism within the Central European context as neither an alternative to nor as a type of nationalism may make it possible to explain the popularity and continuous endur- ance of nationalism and of practices of national identification in different and changing con- texts.

  • How Much Conrad in Conrad Criticism?: Conrad's Artistry, Ideological
    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. 13 2018, pp. 41–54 doi: 10.4467/20843941YC.18.004.11239 HOW MUCH CONRAD IN CONRAD CRITICISM?: CONRAD’S ARTISTRY, IDEOLOGICAL MEDIATIZATION AND IDENTITY A COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS ON THE 160TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WRITER’S BIRTH Grażyna Maria Teresa Branny Jesuit University Ignatianum in Kraków Abstract: The eponymous question of the present address as well as its main premise concern the issue of reading Conrad as opposed to the issue of Conrad’s readings. Although the writer insisted on the priority of artistic expression in his oeuvres over their thematic content, he tends to be ana- lyzed with a view to precedence of content over form. Moreover, his application in his less known short fiction of the then novel modernist device of denegation usually ascribed to Faulkner, is hardly given its due in criticism. What distorts Conrad is, likewise, ideological mediatization of his fiction and biography. And, last but not least, comes insufficient appreciation among Western Conradians of the significance for his writings of his Polish background, and especially his border- land szlachta heritage, where also Polish criticism has been at fault. As emphasized, in comparison with Conrad’s Englishness, which comes down to the added value of his home, family, friends, and career in England as well as the adopted language, his Polishness is about l’âme: the patriotic spirit of Conrad’s ancestry, traumatic childhood experience, Polish upbringing and education, sen- sibilities and deeply felt loyalties deriving from his formative years in Poland. Therefore, one of the premises put forward in the present address is that perhaps Conrad should be referred to as an English writer with his Polish identity constantly inscribed and reinscribed into the content and form of his oeuvres, rather than simply an English writer of Polish descent as he is now.

  • Poland: 10 Facts on the Sochi 2014 Paralympics the Cross-Country Skiing Power House Will Head to Sochi with a Strong Team Once Again
    Poland: 10 facts on the Sochi 2014 Paralympics The cross-country skiing power house will head to Sochi with a strong team once again. Poland has won 11 gold medals and 44 total medals in its Paralympic Winter Games history. Poland has won at least one medal at every Paralympic Winter Games since 1984. Cross-country skiing is by far Poland's most successful sport, with all 11 gold medals and 36 of the total medals coming in this sport. The remaining eight medals – all bronze – were won in alpine skiing (seven) and biathlon (one). Poland's best Paralympic Winter Games was in 1984, when the still-standing Polish record of three gold medals and 13 total medals at one Games were established. Poland's most successful winter Paralympian is Marcin Kos, who won four gold medals and seven total medals in cross-country skiing from 1988 to 1994. More recently, Katarzyna Rogowiec, who competes in both cross-country and biathlon, has been the biggest Polish name in winter Paralympic sports. At the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games she won two cross-country gold medals, and in 2011 she won six world championship medals in the two sports, including one cross-country skiing gold. At Vancouver 2010, Poland won only one medal – bronze to Rogowiec in the 15km cross-country skiing's freestyle standing. At the Paralympic Games, Poland has won 254 gold medals and 692 total medals, which rank ninth and eighth, respectively, among all NPCs.

  • Scouting As an Element of Education Oriented Towards the Challenges of Upbringing of Young People in the 21St Century
    SCOUTING AS AN ELEMENT OF EDUCATION ORIENTED TOWARDS THE CHALLENGES OF UPBRINGING OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE 21ST CENTURY R. Roguski, A. Roguska Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities (POLAND) Abstract The aim of this article is to present the tradition and methods of scouting used in upbringing of young people in the 21st century. The fundamental principles of the scouting movement are “duty to God”, “duty to our neighbour” and “duty to ourselves”. The first principle relates to man’s attitude towards spiritual values, the second one to his attitude towards the society, and the third one to the duties man has in relation to himself. In the study the Author described the Polish Scouting and its traditions. He also sketched the history of scouting used in the contemporary social education of young people (including the struggle for independence carried on by Polish scouts (Polish: harcerze)). The scouting method and tradition as a way of relieving civilisation problems affecting young people nowadays were outlined. They involve using traditional methods in upbringing such as survival, and diminishing the role of electronic gadgets. The Author enlarged also on the problems of social education – describing the role of the voluntary service scouts provide and the system of education of young people. Finally, he touched upon the internationalisation of the movement as a response to the challenges to education in the global village. Keywords: Scouting, lifelong education, tradition, teaching methods. 1 INTRODUCTION The Polish Scouting and Guiding Association (ZHP) is one of the largest non-governmental and educational organisations for children and youth in Poland, having 100,000 members grouped into packs and troops.

  • The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus' (10Th-12Th Centuries)
    The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus’ (10th-12th centuries) Alexandra Vukovic University of Cambridge Jesus College June 2015 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Preface Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration where specifically indicated in the text. No parts of this dissertation have been submitted for any other qualification. Statement of Length This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. Word count: 79, 991 words Alexandra Vukovic Abstract The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus’ (10th-12th centuries) Alexandra Vukovic This dissertation examines the ceremonies and rituals involving the princes of early Rus’ and their entourage, how these ceremonies and rituals are represented in the literature and artefacts of early Rus’, the possible cultural influences on ceremony and ritual in this emergent society, and the role of ceremony and ritual as representative of political structures and in shaping the political culture of the principalities of early Rus’. The process begins by introducing key concepts and historiographic considerations for the study of ceremony and ritual and their application to the medieval world. The textological survey that follows focusses on the chronicles of Rus’, due to their compilatory nature, and discusses the philological, linguistic, and contextual factors governing the use of chronicles in this study. This examination of the ceremonies and rituals of early Rus’, the first comprehensive study of its kind for this region in the early period, engages with other studies of ceremony and ritual for the medieval period to inform our understanding of the political culture of early Rus’ and its influences.
