HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND MULTICULTURAL WORD

100%
EN
The article presents the issue of different meanings of the terms 'multiculturality' and 'multiculturalism', which we associate with contemporary fashion for, and promotion of, cultural diversity. The author deals with historical contexts of meaning of multiculturality as the way of maintenance of one's own style of life in different ethnic territories. Next he discusses qualitative changes when we speak about multiculturality predominantly in the context of the city and metropolitan culture. The second part of the article focuses on the issue of commodization of signs denoting cultural diversity as one of the major indicators of current 'consuming' of multiculturality as a value which deserves to be promoted in the educational and commercial fields.

The article discusses the coexistence of three types of historical narratives – academic, everyday and educational – that create the basic context for establishing a synthesis of national history in how the recent past is being taught today both in Poland and in other European countries. This specific conglomerate, a mix of different types of narratives that expose the logic of history, that has a common source – mythology. At the same time, it lies at the foundation of the titular problem of "silencing the past" for the needs of contemporary discourses, as well as "historical bulimia", understood as a surplus representation of preferred visions of history that are structured according to a mythically-understood and unconditional initial situation.

The term 'anthropological imagination' means the contestation of Western modernity's existing social order through comparison to a non-Western other. Anthropologists used to perceive this distinction through the concept of culture. The author investigates three fundamental 'turns' of applying imagination into culture research in the history of anthropology. The main thesis of the essay is that today we face a new form of post-anthropological imagination. 'Culture' begins to be a common denominator of the ideology of multiculturalism
