The Polish immigrant community in Great Britain dates back to 1945 when due to the turmoil of the II World War and the post-war political situation around 200 000 Poles, mostly soldiers but also members of the political and intellectual elite, settled in the country. The identity of the steadfast, as they were soon called, normative in its nature and involving tight symbolic borders, was forged in sharp opposition to the communist regime as well as in social, political and economic depravation. Their energy was thus channelled into very rich yet, increasingly inner-centred and thus continuously ghettoised organizational activity. The impressive web of miscellaneous associations, organizations and institutions was established, which, on the one hand, facilitated accommodation of the migrants to the new conditions, yet, on the other, helped to sustain the exclusive anti-assimilationist identity by which the new incoming waves of Polish migrants could hardly be embraced. The present community of Polish origin is therefore fragmented: with the almost completely impregnable fortress of the steadfast at the centre and other forms of ethnic self-identification forming concentric circles outside. The organizations created by post-war migrants still exist in largely unchanged form and are still held by the steadfast. What is more, they act and are recognised by the Polish officials as the exclusive representatives of the Polish community in that country, even though, in many respects they do not meet criteria for being representative. The regime fall in Poland fostered a new phase of relations between the Polish community in Great Britain and the country of origin, which was by no means easy, as there was hardly any precedence to fall back on, not to mention the notorious heritage of the 1945-1989 period. It comes as no surprise that the present shape of mutual relations is far from satisfactory. What is more, the lack of developmental tendencies can mostly be attributed to the monopolization of official channels by the steadfast organizations in Great Britain, whereas in the country of origin by the conservative circles in the Senate and the Wspolnota Polska Association. Added to that, the overwhelming majority of initiatives within diasporic policies pursued by the Polish state are based on the concept of re-nationalisation.

In Italy, there are a number of formal organisations established and run by Polish immigrants and their descendants. The paper gives a brief account of the associations’ characteristics and describes how their internal factors – particularly social and cultural capital – have been primary determinants of their condition. The impact of human resources is particularly pronounced, since the Polish organisations in Italy remain largely unseen, either from the perspective of the country of origin or the country of residence, as well as relations between them. The invisibility context in which they pursue their goals and activities is discussed. Also, the ramifications of invisibility as a concept are given careful consideration. The analysis is based on the findings of a study that was conducted in the years 2016–2020 within the framework of the ‘Polish Immigrant Organisations in Europe’ research project.

This article provides an overview of the findings from the initial phase of research conducted between April and December 2021 among municipal cultural institutions in Krakow. Drawing from the framework of institutional intercultural engagement, the authors utilize a typology derived from their analysis of gathered data. This typology categorizes entities into three groups: (1) those openly embracing multiculturalism, (2) those actively fostering connections and building bridges between cultures, and (3) those adjusting their inclusive initiatives to encompass the local dimension of multiculturalism, specifically acknowledging the presence of New Cracovians. The authors reconstruct a portrayal of Krakow, its cultural institutions, and the state of communication from the perspective of multicultural openness, which has since ceased to exist. Nevertheless, this historical depiction serves as a valuable reference point for contemporary media studies, cultural research, and other scholarly investigations.

Prezentowany tekst daje wgląd w wyniki pierwszego etapu badań, które przeprowadzono w okresie od kwietnia do grudnia 2021 r. wśród gminnych (krakowskich) instytucji kultury. Autorki, opierając się na koncepcji międzykulturowego otwarcia instytucji, analizując materiały zastane, proponują typologię, w której uwidaczniają się podmioty 1) otwarte na wielokulturowość, 2) budujące mosty oraz 3) kalibrujące swoje działania włączające tak, aby uwzględnić lokalny wymiar wielokulturowości, czyli obecność Nowych Krakowian. Autorki rekonstruują obraz Krakowa, jego instytucji kultury i stanu komunikacji (w perspektywie otwarcia wielokulturowego), jakiego już nie ma, a jednocześnie, który to (nieistniejący już) obraz może stanowić istotny punkt odniesienia dla bieżących badań medioznawczych, kulturoznawczych i innych.
