This article uses the model of dependency between centers and peripheries of scientific knowledge production to create a theoretical framework for investigating predatory journals. The framework is presented as an alternative to the dominant ways of the problem's characterization. Predatory journals are so far described mostly as a newly emerging phenomenon strongly connected with publishing in Open Access and fraudulent publishers. In this article, I argue that predatory publishers are recognized as illegitimate by the center of knowledge production. This geopolitically situated approach let me look more critically on the ways of assigning this illegitimacy. It also allows me to define the ostensible center and reveal a mechanism for functioning many journals accused of being predatory. The ostensible center is understood as an institution disseminating knowledge that is invisible or illegitimate to the center. However, at the same time some actors see an ostensible center as belonging to the center. The presented terms are analytical tools for further research that might enable us to get a wider picture of a modern global system of knowledge production and point out its antiegalitarian mechanism.

Following the development of interdisciplinary analyses of the creative economy in the reflection of Western societies, the paper poses a question about the specificity of implementing this idea in Central and Eastern Europe. The author confronts the mythology of creative industries with the complex social and political context of the region’s countries, and tries to determine whether specific public policies have a comparable result when applied in different social, cultural, and political conditions. The problematization of the ‘compatibility’ of the innovationist discourse with a type of society and modernity different from the Western one serves to reflect on the universal phenomenon of the reception of Western modernization narratives as well as strategies of their assimilation, resistance, or new reconstructions.

Śledząc rozwój interdyscyplinarnych analiz gospodarki kreatywnej w refleksji społeczeństw zachodnich, tekst stawia pytanie o specyfikę implementacji tej idei w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej. Autor konfrontuje mitologię przemysłów kreatywnych ze złożonym kontekstem społecznym i politycznym krajów regionu oraz próbuje ustalić, czy określone polityki publiczne mają porównywalny wynik, kiedy aplikowane są w różnych społecznych, kulturowych i politycznych warunkach. Problematyzacja „kompatybilności” dyskursu innowacjonistycznego z odmiennym od zachodniego typem społeczeństwa i nowoczesności służy refleksji nad uniwersalnym fenomenem recepcji zachodnich narracji modernizacyjnych, strategii ich przyswojeń, oporu lub nowych rekonstrukcji.
