Brothers in arms: imagining a meta-historical brotherhood of Georgia and Poland in Polish media and political discourses

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Entstehungskontexte und Effekte der populären polnischen Diskurse über Georgien, die gegenwärtig in den Medien, der Populärkultur, der Politik und in Alltagsgesprächen zirkulieren. Diese werden mit Bourdieus Konzept der Praxis und mit den Heuristiken der traditionellen Critical Discourse Analysis in einen breiten Zusammenhang der historischen Imagination in Polen gestellt. Im Besonderen wird dabei das Konzept der Re-Kontextualisierung verwendet, um die dynamischen Prozesse im Diskurs offen zu legen und mit einfachen lingustischen Mitteln zu zeigen, wie neue Bedeutungen entstehen und stabilisiert werden.This article traces the origins and effects of the popular Polish discourse on Georgia, which is nowadays encountered in the media, in popular culture, politics and in everyday talk. It positions it within the broader logic of historical imagining in Poland, employing Bourdieu’s concept of performativity in discourse and the apparatus of traditional critical discourse analysis. Especially the notion of recontextualization is applied to uncover the dynamics of discourse, showing how, by rather simple linguistic means, new meanings can be created and perpetuated

‘New History—the New Ways of Knowing and Remembering the Caucasus in Poland’

This paper aims to reconstruct the knowledge claims and memory politics in Polish public discourse about the Caucasus. As it highlights the importance of history and a production of a ‘New History’ for political use, it illuminates the role of the visual dimension in the symbolic politics of memory in Poland. The special example of the Caucasus, particularly the places of Georgia and Russia, serves to show how peripheral regions can gain prominence in the knowledge struggles and strategies of self-representation and othering of particular nations, regions and states on the geopolitical plane.Peer reviewe
