    THE PROJECT OF RECONCILIATION: JOURNALISTS AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS IN POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONS, 1956-1972 Annika Frieberg A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Karen Hagemann Dr. Madeline Levine View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository ©2008 Annika Frieberg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANNIKA FRIEBERG: The Project of Reconciliation: Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations, 1956-1972 (under the direction of Konrad Jarausch) My dissertation, “The Project of Reconciliation,” analyzes the impact of a transnational network of journalists, intellectuals, and publishers on the postwar process of reconciliation between Germans and Poles. In their foreign relations work, these non-state actors preceded the Polish-West German political relations that were established in 1970. The dissertation has a twofold focus on private contacts between these activists, and on public discourse through radio, television and print media, primarily its effects on political and social change between the peoples. My sources include the activists’ private correspondences, interviews, and memoirs as well as radio and television manuscripts, articles and business correspondences. Earlier research on Polish-German relations is generally situated firmly in a nation-state framework in which the West German, East German or Polish context takes precedent. My work utilizes international relations theory and comparative reconciliation research to explore the long-term and short-term consequences of the discourse and the concrete measures which were taken during the 1960s to end official deadlock and nationalist antagonisms and to overcome the destructive memories of the Second World War dividing Poles and Germans.

    PUBLIKACJA Okładka.indd 1 2017-01-31 13:56:33 Meanwhile in the Baltics… Meanwhile in the Baltics… Edited by Agnieszka Pikulicka-Wilczewska, New Eastern Europe Editorial Assistants: Isabel Fleming and Emily Look Cover image by Baiba Tropa Layout and design by DoLasu | www.dolasu-pracownia.pl January 2017 About the project: Solidarity Academy is an international project aimed at inspiring and supporting the development of the young intellectual elites across Europe. The project’s title refers to the Polish social movement Solidarność (Solidarity) and the peaceful socio-political transformations that took place in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In such movements we can find inspiration for solving the problems of the modern world. In 2016, the Solidarity Academy – Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue was realised as a joint programme of the European Solidarity Centre and the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS). The Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue project is further a flagship of the EUSBSR Horizontal Action Neighbours and was conceptualised by the CBSS and the Körber Foundation Germany. The project is part of an initiative of German Foreign Office, using youth cooperation as means to conflict resolution. Dear Reader, The following publication includes pieces written by the graduates of the Solidarity Academy – Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue 2016, an interna- tional project aimed at inspiring and supporting young intellectuals across Europe. This year’s edition was organised in cooperation with the Council of the Baltic Sea States (and supported by the German Mi- nistry of Foreign Affairs), therefore, the participants have taken on to- pics related to the different facets of the region and its diverse social, cultural and political makeup.

  • National Action Plan for the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity Between Generations (2012) in Poland
    Ministry of Labourand Social Policy NATIONAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE EUROPEAN YEAR FOR ACTIVE AGEING AND SOLIDARITY BETWEEN GENERATIONS (2012) IN POLAND IT IS WORTH BEING ACTIVE… REGARDLESS OF AGE Warsaw, January 2012 Foreword by the Minister of Labour and Social Policy Demographic changes in Poland, similar to those observed in most of the European Union countries, require that State policy adopt a special approach to the problems of the ageing population. The European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012) initiative (Decision No 940/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2011) is particularly valuable and justified since it will make it possible to discuss together, at the EU and national levels, the construction of an appropriate model for active ageing. In the context of these activities it is certainly important to stress the role of dialogue and cooperation between younger and older persons which forms the basis of solidarity between generations. I hope that activities which we will undertake during this Year in cooperation with other Ministries and institutions will make a significant contribution to the promotion of the idea of professional and social activity of older people and will help to emphasise the role of solidarity between generations in the social and economic development of our country. Foreword by the National Coordinator of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012) in Poland, Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy In view of the demographic situation in many European countries, including Poland, it will be difficult, without measures promoting longer professional and social activity, to ensure stability of social security systems, and, at the same time, to a large extent the potential of older people may not be availed of.

  • From the Kitchen to the Podium
    “The First Lady: From the kitchen to the podium How the gender equality revolution and the media forged a new political actor in democratic systems” EWA WIDLAK TESI DOCTORAL/2016 DIRECTORS DE LA TESI: DR JAUME GUILLAMET LLOVERAS DR CARLES PONT SORRIBES DEPARTAMENT DE COMUNICACIÓ Dedicat a en Marc, el meu suport més lleial ABSTRACT The first ladyship is nowadays one of the most mediatized, yet scientifically neglected unofficial institutions to be found in contemporary states. It is a figure which raises a number of questions regarding the nature of modern relations between politics and the media, politics and the citizens or the evolution of the public imaginary about womanhood, family and marriage within contemporary societies. The presented PhD thesis contains results of an investigation analyzing the role of the modern first lady and its evolution in Poland, France and Spain. It examines how major social and political processes, such as women’s empowerment and the development of mass media, influenced the figure of the first lady. The study, presented as a thesis by compilation of articles, is composed of four papers, published previously in scientific journals, addressing different issues about the first ladyship. The evidence suggests that the rise of the first lady in the studied countries would not have been possible without a greater visibility of women on the public stage, or without the media spotlight put on this legally unwritten office. Nevertheless, there lays a risk that a gendered outlook on the first ladyship may jeopardize future attempts to empower it. Key words: First ladyship, political communication, public image, media-politics relations, media influence, political celebrity, women’s empowerment, gendered frame, gender stereotypes.

  • ANTIQUITY and WE Introduction Katarzyna Marciniak, from the Antiquity and We OBTA and Civilizational Studies
    Antiquity and We at the Centre for Studies on the Classical Tradition (OBTA) ANTIQUITY At the same time, thanks to Professor Kazimierz Kumaniecki and Professor Lidia Win- niczuk [...], a certain ideological message got through to us. It was not enunciated explicitly, but rather implicitly. It was the conviction that the reception of ancient tradition was a living part of Polish collective memory and a marker of its transformations; that being aware AND WE of that tradition authorized and obliged us to speak and think of Poland and its place within Mediterranean civilization. Jerzy Axer, from Antiquity and We – The Perspective of the Period of Transformation ANTIQUITY AND WE The Humanities are always about the future of man, which he himself is not able to create without reaching to the resources generated in the past. Interdisciplinariness is getting to know the process in practice. The dialogic character of the Humanities also begins here. As an exer- cise in dialogue, OBTA perfectly fits my vision of the role that we are to play in society. Jan Kieniewicz, from OBTA and Civilizational Studies. Experiences and Prospects [...] reception studies view Antiquity as a cultural experience. In consequence, rather than the classical world as such, we examine the images of that world as created in subsequent epochs, in accordance with the assumption that each new deciphering of the classical legacy gives us knowledge about those who make the decoding in the first place. In this way, Classical Anti- quity becomes a reference point for generations, societies, and both small and large groups of culture recipients, wherever Mediterranean Civilization has managed to reach.

It requires modern methods of communication and promotion. Public diplomacy, which helps create an atmosphere of understanding even where political interests are at odds, is growing in importance. Every measure in the field of public diplomacy is aimed at furthering the national interest. We reinforce the positive image of Poland by cooperating with global media, maintaining a presence on the Internet and in social media, as well as by undertaking activities in the area of economic diplomacy and deve- lopment assistance. We promote Polish culture in many different ways, using various means of communication. We share the Polish experience of democratic transition. We encourage others to respect civil rights, in particular children’s rights, as exemplified by our participation in the 2012 celebrations to mark the Janusz Korczak Year.
