The center of my attention in this article will be in an analysis of the activities of the Association of People of Kashubian Nationality Kaszëbskô Jednota. The study will serve as an illustration of a process referred to as identity politics. My objective was to reconstruct the vision of the world shared by the members of the Association, or, in other words, the identification discourse and its basic nodal points. The subject of analysis is the textual layer of the official web page of the Association, kaszebsko.com. The web page, and especially its contents, was treated as a holistic cultural text, comprising both official documents, such the statute or the ideological declaration, as well as articles, opinions, and links to other sources.

Issues related to identities and ethno-national identifications are more frequently described and analysed in the context of social dynamics. Researchers dealing with the theme point to the evolution of identities, change in their makeup related to the emergence of a different context of group functioning, and also changes connected with the nature of ethnic relations, from habitual relations to ideological relations. The article concerns the Lemko people’s identity. This is a borderline group of multi-dimensional cultural identity, divided in terms of identity. A number of the Lemko people consider themselves as Ukrainians, others consider the Lemko as a distinct ethnic group, while others see themselves as a Carphatorussian nation along with Belarusians, Russians and Ukrainians. The article consists of two main parts. The first part presents basic categories of identity that have been reconstructed on the basis of the research results. The study was carried out in the mid-nineties among representatives of this small east-Slavic community. The second part examines the dynamics of the Lemko identity. The dynamics show variability of its cultural content and a certain evolution of identity constructs created by the Lemko ethnic leaders. The text highlights new developments that emerged in the debate on identity after the Lemko were inscribed as a separate ethnic minority to the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and Regional Language of 2005.

A study such as the national census can be examined form a number of perspectives. While it can be considered as a statistical study, presenting an objective, true, scientifically grounded picture of the society, it can be also be seen as an important event or social fact from the political viewpoint, one which affects the social reality and intergroup relations. In this article the latter perspective has been applied. It analyzes how the National Census has been used by Silesian ethnic leaders who aim at changing the status of their group, demand the recognition of its separateness and its legal protection. Based on an analysis of Silesian ethnic leaders’ activities, in the text I hypothesize that the National Census of Population and Housing 2011 was an extremely important fact for the strategy of struggling for recognition. The preparations for the census and the period when it was carried out have activated Silesian organizations. They used the census to mobilize their members and fight for “Silesian souls” in a community which is divided by the people’s sense of identity. Silesian leaders have also treated the census as a significant phase in the, ongoing since the mid-1990, fight for changing the groups’ status. By taking advantage of democratic procedures, referring to legal solutions considered in the census, and later drawing attention to the obtained results they have made claims concerning the recognition of their group’s separateness by the state.

This interdisciplinary work explores current controversy over the collective identity of Romani and reasons for their social predicament. The first position, associated with Romani studies and identity politics, sees all Romani as a part of an 'ethnic group', and connects their plight to 'racial' discrimination and intolerance. Some anthropologists and social policy-makers call this 'primordialism' and deconstruct the notion of a unitary and natural 'Romani nation', maintaining most ghetto inhabitants are only classified as 'Romani' and their identity derives from their 'social exclusion'. Matching policies are advocated. The author combines contemporary anthropological approaches to the identity construction with theories of discourse to conceptualize the debate, completing the framework with self-reflection of social science. The method of Critical Discourse Analysis is applied in examining corpora of academic and specialized writing, policy papers and media texts for the discourse construction of identity. Arguing that both discourses are differentiated instantiations of the same diagram of power normalizing 'troublesome' subjectivities, the author touches upon the ethical responsibility of scientists deconstructing essentialist representations of identities and circulating their own constructs instead.
