  • Politicization of Sexuality and the Lesbian and Gay Movement in Poland
    Anna Gruszczy ńska Ph.D. candidate School of Languages and Social Sciences Aston University, Birmingham, UK WHEN HOMO -CITIZENS GO MARCHING IN: POLITICIZATION OF SEXUALITY AND THE LESBIAN AND GAY MOVEMENT IN POLAND In this paper I would like to analyze the processes whereby from 2001 on, marches, pride parades and demonstrations have become the most visible and contested activity of the Polish lesbian and gay movement. As Graff argues in her report on the situation of sexual minorities in Poland in the post-accession landscape, through public activist events, the figure of the homosexual (even though “real” gays and lesbians might continue to live deeply closeted) has moved from the margin of collective consciousness to the centre of an increasingly polarized public debate (Graff 2006). The crux of the debate seems to be the hotly contested definition of Polish citizenship - as I attempt to show in this text, most of the protests against lesbian and gay demonstrations consist in the efforts of the right-wing to reclaim the category of “true Pole”. On the other hand, I argue that the gay and lesbian movement is using marches and pride parades to broaden the category of Polish citizenship so that it can also include sexual minorities who are being actively excluded by the right wing. In my analysis, I will rely on theories, which are helpful in the analysis of activism in public space, starting from theories which deal with the division into public and private, with a focus on the context of post- socialist transformation, through theories of citizenship and national identity.

  • Krakow HISTORY
    Krakow HISTORY The first documented reference to Krakow can be found in records from 965 of the Cordova merchant Abraham ben Jacob. He mentions a rich burg city situated at the crossing of trade routes and surrounded by woods. In the 10th century Mieszko I incorporated Krakow into the Polish state. During the times of Boleslaw the Brave, the bishopric of Krakow was established (1000) and the construction of Wawel Cathedral began. In 1038, Casimir I the Restorer made Wawel Castle its seat, thus making Krakow the capital of Poland. The high duke Boleslav V the Chaste following the example of Wrocław, introduced city rights modelled on the Magdeburg law allowing for tax benefits and new trade privileges for the citizens in 1257. In the 15th century, Krakow became the center of lively cultural, artistic, and scientific development. Photo: A fragment of colourful woodcut depicting Krakow. Source: https://www.muzeumkrakowa.pl The 17th and 18th centuries were a period of a gradual decline of the city's importance. Due to the first partition of Poland in 1772, the southern part of Little Poland was seized by the Austrian army. On March 24, 1794 Kościuszko's Insurrection began in Krakow. Temporarily included into the Warsaw Duchy, it was given the status of a "free city" after Napoleon's downfall. After the defeat of the November Insurrection (1831), Krakow preserved its autonomy as the only intact part of Poland. In 1846, it was absorbed into the Austrian Monarchy again. After independence was regained in 1918, Krakow became a significant administrative and cultural center.

  • Cultural Authority with a Light Touch : Museums Using Humor in Social
    Revista_comunicare_50.qxd 7/30/2020 11:36 AM Page 39 Romanian Journal of Communication and Public Relations vol. 22, no. 2 (50) / July 2020, 39-55 ISSN: 1454-8100/ E-ISSN: 2344-5440 Marta NAJDA-JANOSZKA* Magdalena SAWCZUK** Cultural Authority with a Light Touch – Museums Using Humor in Social Media Communication Abstract The distinctively informal and participatory environment of social media can help museums im- prove comprehension by providing new ways of seeing, interpreting and experiencing. A particular po- tential in that digital context may relate to a humorous discourse. Given that museum research has yet to explore the use of humor in social media communication, the aim of this article is to fill the gap by investigating how museums incorporate humor to communicate over the net with wide and fragment- ed audiences. The empirical study was based on a content analysis of messages posted on the social media profiles of museums from the Mal opolska Region in Poland. The analysis involved material gath- ered from 71 institutions running proprietary social media sites (of a total 119 museums in the region), whose activity was observed during a two-and-a-half-month period. The final sample developed through a consensus coding procedure consisted of 47 humorous messages posted on profiles of 15 institutions. The findings identify certain common trends as well as differences in the use of humor in the social media communication of museums. Observed discrepancies relate to distinct framings and cohesive- ness of practiced humorous communication. Along with a variety of humorous utterances different re- actions of the audience were identified.
