Kwestia białoruska i żydowska w myśli polityczno-prawnej polskich ugrupowań w Wilnie w pierwszych latach niepodległości – wybrane zagadnienia

The position of Polish groups of interwar Vilnius (in the first years of independence) on the issues presented in this article was varied. National Democracy did not regard Belarusians as an independent nation and denied them the right to an independent state. Democrats, on the other hand, were in favor of equal rights for all nations and granted Belarusians the right to their own culture and education. In a similar vein, the Democrats, along with Vilnius conservatives, also expressed their opinions on the Jewish question. Representatives of National Democracy found a lot of space for this issue in their statements. In the context of the dispute about Vilnius, it was emphasized that the Jews would opt for Lithuania and Vilnius’s membership of the Lithuanian state.Stanowisko polskich ugrupowań międzywojennego Wilna (w pierwszych latach niepodległości) odnośnie do prezentowanych w niniejszym artykule kwestii było różne. Narodowa Demokracja nie uznawała Białorusinów za samodzielny naród i odmawiała im prawa do niezależnego państwa. Demokraci zaś opowiadali się za równouprawnieniem wszystkich nacji i przyznawali Białorusinom prawo do własnej kultury i szkolnictwa. W podobnym tonie demokraci, wraz z konserwatystami wileńskimi, wypowiadali się też w kwestii żydowskiej. Sporo miejsca w swoich wypowiedziach tej kwestii poświęcili przedstawiciele Narodowej Demokracji. W kontekście sporu o Wilno podkreślono, że Żydzi opowiedzą się za Litwą i przynależnością Wilna do państwa litewskiego

“Terra Incognita in the heart of Europe” : representation of Belarusian national identity in tourism advertisements

Due to historical and political reasons, a lot of Belarusians face a challenge regarding the understanding of their national identity. 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. The data consist of 44 images and snapshots taken from Belarusian online travel resources. As a rule, these images have a direct connection to traditions, myths, and national heritage of the republic. The materials were classified according to their references to geography, leisure practices, cultural heritage, and social relationships. Such references facilitate the classification of the data and allow to identify the national identity markers in a structured way. In this research, I applied the semiology analysis method that analyses denotative and connotative meanings of an image. This method helps to identify “symbols” depicted in the tourist advertisements regarding Belarusian national identity which involves reading between the lines and understanding the historical and cultural “baggage” of the nation in question. This study demonstrated the most representative markers of cultural representation used in the tourist advertisements of Belarus, the way they “speak” to the citizens, and shape Belarusian national identity in the modern context
