Introduction Before World War II about one-third of the population of Poland were members of national, ethnic and religious minorities, including Ukrainians, Jews, Belarusians, and Germans. However, as a result of the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland, the Holocaust (when about 90% of Polish Jews were exterminated), the expulsion of Germans and the resettlement of Ukrainians, the post-1945 Poland became an ethnically homogeneous nation- state. It is estimated that about 5.7 million Polish citizens died as a result of the German occupation and about 150,000 Polish citizens died as a result of the Soviet occupation. In the aftermath of the war Poland was a state of reduced sovereignty. The communist Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR) gained firm control over domestic politics, which nonetheless remained under the Soviet influence. In the period 1945-1989, the country’s memory politics was fully dependent on the narrative dictated by the state and influenced by the pro- Soviet optics. However, the collective memory, the acts of oppositional memory, and oppositional commemorative acts recurred in this period and re-emerged in the early 1990s. This is when many troubled past issues entered public sphere from various vantage points and in various ways including the Holocaust, the Roma genocide, forced sexual labour of women and rape as a war crime, the Polish-Ukrainian conflicts, the Polish anti-Semitism and the role of Poles in the Nazi genocide, the participation of Poles in the communist regime, the participation in Poles in oppositional movement against the regime. These and many other elements of the troubled Polish past have been used and abused in public debates, i.e. addressed by the politicians, by cultural and artistic institutions, writers and artists, NGOs and academics. Although in post-1989 Poland this conversation has been multidimensional, two dominant competing trends/narratives can be distinguished: the so-called “pedagogy of shame” vs. the so-called “patriotic pride.” The former one is associated with European integration, modernisation, emancipation and equality within the EU, where Poland features a partner who has worked through its historical traumas, recompensated for the guilts. etc. It was called the pedagogy of shame by the right-wing historians. The latter one is associated with nationalistic, catholic, conservative and anti-European positions. The discourse of pride counters the discourse of guilt and shame by refusing to acknowledge the collective entanglement and, at times, complicity of Poles in the war and post-war crimes, in the wrongdoings against the minorities. It focuses mostly on stressing the victimhood of the Polish nation. In the RePAST research project, we have revisited some of the episodes from the Polish troubled past and analysed their effects in the present. Precisely speaking, we investigated the troubled past, as it appears in four different domains: i) history; b) politics; c) media; d) arts and culture. In this deliverable, which is one of the final outputs of the project, we thus build on the insights gained so far as a result of a multi-method research design employed by the RePAST project. Based on our research in Poland, and in line with the RePAST instructions for WP6.6 set by the University of Ljubljana (in agreement with the consortium) in early 2020, this document outlines the policy recommendations (a country-specific roadmap) for Poland to deal with its troubled past. This document is structured as follows. In Chapter 2, we explain our methodological approach regarding this task, e.g. we: (a) describe the rules of interviewee selection; (b) elaborate on the main factor that influenced the selection process (COVID-19 pandemic); (c) list the names of the interviewees who gave their feedback to us. In Chapter 3, we reconstruct the EU’s approach to the troubled past in post-1989 Poland, divided into four main periods. In Chapter 4, which constitutes the main part of this document, we propose policy recommendations for each of the areas covered by RePAST, i.e.: (i) media; (ii) history; (iii) politics; (iv) arts & culture. Finally, we close our recommendations with concise conclusions. 2. Methodology The first version of the policy recommendations, based on the initial results of RePAST research regarding Poland, was ready in late spring 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all interviews with the policy- 5 / 19 D6.16 Policy Recommendations Reports makers and stakeholders were conducted a little later, in August and September 2020. We decided to wait out the period of greatest pandemic social chaos and tension, and turn to our interviewees during the period of partial normalisation. As shown by the quite high response rate (~50%), this was a good decision which provided us with a valuable input from the interviewees. Importantly, due to COVID-19 pandemic all interviews were conducted online, via videoconferencing (Google Meet). In our interviewee selection process, we were guided by the principle of equal representation of experts from national and EU-levels. We also ensured a proportionate representation of the two main expert groups, i.e. policy-makers and stakeholders. More precisely, at the EU-level we focused on inviting policy-makers, i.e. people who are best informed about what European policies towards the troubled past are at the same time most needed and most feasible. In turn, at national-level we gave the floor primarily to stakeholders who represented think-tanks and public institutions, and are critically oriented towards the policies of the current right-wing government in Poland. In this way we attempted at providing the widest possible response to our recommendations. Eventually, the following interviewees provided their feedback to the first version of the document: 1. (EU-level) Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz – a Polish center-left MEP (2019-2024); the former Prime Minister of Poland (1996-1997) and Foreign Minister of Poland (2001–2005). 2. (EU-level) Danuta Hubner – a Polish center-right MEP (2019-2024); the former European Commissioner for Regional (2004-2009); a member of the International Honorary Council of the European Academy of Diplomacy (since 2012). 3. (EU-level) Michał Boni – a Polish center-right MEP (2014-2019); the former Minister of Administration and Digitization of Poland (2011-2013). 4. (national-level) Bartosz Machalica – a historian and political scientist; the co-founder of the Ignacy Daszyński Centre think-tank, an institution focused, among other things, on cultivating the memory of the achievements of Polish social democracy. 5. (national-level) Katarzyna Wielga-Skolimowska – the former director of the Polish Cultural Institute in Berlin, at present the Director of the Goethe Institute in Saudi Arabia. 6. (national-level) Paweł Machcewicz – a Polish historian and university professor; the former president of the Bureau of Public Education at the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN; 2000-2006) and the director of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk (2008-2017). After receiving comments from the interviewees, we revised the first version of policy recommendations and came up with this (final) version of the document. 3. The EU’s approach to the troubled past in Poland The EU approach to the troubled past in post-1989 Poland is worth seeing as part of a broader EU approach to troubled past in Central Eastern Europe (CEE).

  • Youtube and the Vernacular Rhetorics of Web 2.0
    i REMEDIATING DEMOCRACY: YOUTUBE AND THE VERNACULAR RHETORICS OF WEB 2.0 Erin Dietel-McLaughlin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Louisa Ha Graduate Faculty Representative Michael Butterworth Lee Nickoson ii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation examines the extent to which composing practices and rhetorical strategies common to ―Web 2.0‖ arenas may reinvigorate democracy. The project examines several digital composing practices as examples of what Gerard Hauser (1999) and others have dubbed ―vernacular rhetoric,‖ or common modes of communication that may resist or challenge more institutionalized forms of discourse. Using a cultural studies approach, this dissertation focuses on the popular video-sharing site, YouTube, and attempts to theorize several vernacular composing practices. First, this dissertation discusses the rhetorical trope of irreverence, with particular attention to the ways in which irreverent strategies such as new media parody transcend more traditional modes of public discourse. Second, this dissertation discusses three approaches to video remix (collection, Detournement, and mashing) as political strategies facilitated by Web 2.0 technologies, with particular attention to the ways in which these strategies challenge the construct of authorship and the power relationships inherent in that construct. This dissertation then considers the extent to which sites like YouTube remediate traditional rhetorical modes by focusing on the genre of epideictic rhetoric and the ways in which sites like YouTube encourage epideictic practice. Finally, in light of what these discussions reveal in terms of rhetorical practice and democracy in Web 2.0 arenas, this dissertation offers a concluding discussion of what our ―Web 2.0 world‖ might mean for composition studies in terms of theory, practice, and the teaching of writing.

Painting Photographs: Absence on Mohammed Mahmoud Street Kirsten E. Stricker Stricker 1 Mohammed Mahmoud Street is the metaphoric tomb of Tahrir Square, Cairo where violent protests erupted during the Egyptian Revolution which began in 2011.1 It is on the walls of this street that Ammar Abo Bakr painted outside of his studio for the first time.2 “Lost Eyes,” a large mural commemorating the men and women who lost their eyes in clashes during a demonstration against military rule on November 19, 2011, was the first large mural that he made commemorating those who were injured during the struggle for freedom (Figure 1). Since then Bakr has continued to work on an ever evolving mural on Mohammed Mahmoud Street. While he is responsible for a great number of fascinating pieces of art this paper will focus primarily on the mural he added to the wall in May 2012—a mural of mourning mothers holding photographs of their children who died in the revolution.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.

  • Trio Presidency Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic 18-Month Work Programme 1 January 2011 – 30 June 2012
    Trio Presidency Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic 18-month work programme 1 January 2011 – 30 June 2012 Mission Statement Given the need for and possibilities of enhanced cooperation within the Salzburg Forum, a professional framework for cooperation must be created in the coming decade. The Salzburg Forum remains an informal Central European security partnership. Its central functions should be: firstly, cooperation and lobbying within the EU; secondly, regional cooperation; and thirdly, contributing as effectively as possible to a coherent and credible EU external strategy vis-à-vis relevant countries and regions in the security-relevant neighbourhood of the Salzburg Forum. Thus, defining a common EU policy and making a common contribution aimed at strengthening the area of freedom, security and justice will become the pivotal points of cooperation for the Salzburg Forum. Cooperation of the Salzburg Forum will be determined by the shared interests of all or several partners as well as the principle of solidarity. Other partners can be involved as well. In view of the above, the structures of cooperation should be adjusted to those of the European Union. This implies, above all, the introduction of trio presidencies in the Salzburg Forum, the drafting and implementation of 18-month work programmes and related action plans, as well as the introduction of consistent, professional coordination based on the structures within the EU. 1 1.
