Pedagogie patriotyzmu

The author of this paper argues that the discourse of patriotism in public space in Poland is dominated by right-wing and ultra-right-wing circles. The content of these narratives usually takes the form of a closed, martyrological-national patriotism. Despite this hegemony, in opposition to it, subordinate groups produce narratives of critical and open patriotism. Using various subversive strategies, they try to free themselves from this domination. The main goal of the article is to identify the content of these discordant discourses, their forms and the ways in which they are made. The units of analysis will be selected popular culture texts and cultural practices (hip-hop and rock lyrics, graffiti, murals, banners, performative activities in urban space).
