Identities and their representation and expression in different social contexts became one of the key problems of social sciences and humanities in the late 20th century. Sociology – which is the approach taken in this paper – doesn’t understand identity as something given or fixed, but rather as a social construction created in the processes of interaction and negotiation. Emphasis is on the temporal mutability and fluidity of the identities, their social origin (membership in different social groups and identification with them), and the premise that an individual in contemporary society uses a variety of different identities in social interactions. First part of the paper presents the archive, which is the source of the data; the second part is a short overview of key theoretical aspects of sociological research on identities; and the final part is dealing with different ways of expressing a collective (Jewish) identity in biographical interviews from the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive, interpreting it in the broad context of sociological reflections on personal and collective identity

The article attempts to analyze the discourse formulas: on behalf of Rzeczypospolita and on behalf of Poland in the speeches of the presidents of the Third Polish Republic (1995-2023). The aim is to describe the potential of these formulas in the context of constructing the collective identity. The authors continue the debate undertaken in the previous publication (Dyoniziak & Pirogowska, 2023) and show on the basis of 1000 presidential speeches written on www.prezydent.pl that the proper name Rzeczpospolita has greater identity potential than the name Polska in creating a national community.

This reflection will focus on a corpus of testimonies collected in Metz a few months after the terrorist attacks on November 13, 2015 in France. We will discuss how the media narratives of these attacks build an internalized representation of a national event among speakers who live 350 km away from the site of these attacks. It emerges a balance between cohesive momentum and local withdrawal, in particular through the involvement and the emotion of citizens. We will show that the distance Lorraine/Paris and its suburbs appears in a polarizing or unifying apprehension. Through the prism of the media consulted, an articulation occurs between projective collective identities and frozen identities of the past.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Alexei Balabanov constructs the image of contemporary Russian collective identity around the idea of the post-dependence on the traumatic Soviet experience in Cargo 200. The director shows in his movie a post-Soviet society that is paralyzed by traumatic past. The main context of the analysis is “postmemory”, a category introduced by Marianne Hirsch. The idea of postmemory is based on the belief that trauma can be worked-through by the reconstruction of the past events. On the other hand, it underlines the dangerous impact of repressed traumatic memories on the collective identity of the group. Another theoretical and methodological framework is Aleida and Jan Assmann’s concept of communicative and cultural memory, since the director based his film on the cultural traditions and texts widely known in Russian culture (primarily the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Balabanov, by the usage of historical costume, tried to force the Russian audience to work through the trauma of the past.

This article presents an approach to analysing collective identity in discourse that distinguishes the linguistic and semiotic description of textual features from their socio-cognitive interpretation. Collective identities are theorised as conceptual structures comprising beliefs and knowledge, norms and values, attitudes and expectations as well as emotions, and as being reinforced and negotiated in discourse. A number of linguistic and semiotic features are suggested to ascertain what collective identities are constructed in texts and how. These include social actor representation, process types, evaluation, modality, metaphoric expressions and intertextuality. The findings from such an analysis are then linked to questions about genre and the participants and processes of discourse practice as well as to the social context and the ideologies by which it is dominated. The analytical procedure is exemplified with an excerpt from a retailer’s catalogue that is investigated for the discursive construction and socio-cognitive representation of gender and sexual identity.

The article aims to trace the dynamics of contention in austerity-driven Slovenia, explain why it ended, through the processes of demobilization, despite the protest movement’s initial successes, and verify the explanatory power of Charles Tilly and Sidney Tarrow’s theoretical framework of demobilization. The analysis applies the method of source analysis, conceptual qualitative content analysis, and the conceptual framework of contentious politics. In doing so, it addresses the research problems of the dynamics of contention in Slovenia and why the contention resulted in demobilization. The article argues that after mass mobilization an upward scale shift appeared. The shift moved the contention beyond its local origins in Maribor, touched on the interests and values of new subjects, and involved a shift of venue to sites where the demands might have been met by state institutions. The dynamics of contention was a cycle of active and passive contentious episodes. The movement identity shift and successful recognition of its claims influenced the performances and episode sequence. The processes of demobilization started when people stopped attending protests, organizing particular performances, and implementing innovations to modular performances instead. Demobilization occurred when most of the protesters became discouraged from protest through boredom and a desire to return to everyday routines.

Despite of the fact that studies on the topic of “places of remembrance” reached an inflationary number in the last decades, the article argues for the need of new perspectives in this field. They are identified as bilateral and transnational “places of remembrance”, valid not only for a national community but also for smaller communities on regional and transregional levels. With the definitions of the key concepts “remembrance” and “places”, the article strives to sketch out the theoretical background for studies, dealing with specific problems of German-Czech or Bavarian-Bohemian histories

Processes of European identity formation are analysed here in terms of identity work and, specifically, relationship (interplay) between biographical and collective identity work. First sections of the text (1 and 2) are focussed on grounding the approach in a range of theoretical orientations (symbolic interactionism and culturalist perspectives), on outlining its methodological implications (the rationale for using the method of autobiographical narrative interviewing and various methods of text analysis), and, finally, on developing research questions and preliminary analytical dimensions of studying the collective identity work, especially in relation to European identity work, the latter being based on results of the author’s research on the minority nation society of Wales (e.g. collective identity constructions, and figurations, in terms of cultural periphery / centre, hybridity, and marginality). In the next step of analysis, these preliminary questions and dimensions are related to problems of European identity work in general. In the next section (3) overall heuristic strategies of the offered project are formulated: the attitude of refractive self-reflection, the dialogical principle of calibrating research interactants’ perspectives, a multi-layer approach to the interplay between individual experiences and a variety of collective meaning resources, the strategy of contrastive comparison of studied cases and, finally, the zooming procedure of focussing (coding) empirical materials. The last section of the text (4) relates to the objectives / expected products of the project concerning dimensions and integrated model of collective identity work in Europe, and their practical implications for a range of social / political activities in education, legislation, governance, as well as for NGOs, social arenas and social movements.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the image of Yugoslavia in the collective memories of the post–Yugoslav societies. The author of this text, basing on an assumption that every society has a great number of collective memories, highlights the fact that among the Balkan nations one can find both supporters and opponents not only of the SFRY but also of the idea of the cooperation among the Southern Slavs. Both positive and negative opinions of Yugoslavia in the collective memories are based not on the sober assessment of the historical facts but on collective emotions and historical and political myths. The anti–Yugoslav discourse in primarily based on the national mythology. The discourse of the supporters of the Yugoslav tradition one the other hand, goes back in a large extend to the transnational myths. By discussing these two types of ideas about Yugoslavia, the author of this text tries to show their impact on the current political decisions.

The objective of the present study is to examine the role of St. John of Capistrano – a Franciscan preacher and missionary – in the process of forming the identity of the community of Czech Reformed Franciscans in the 17th century. The aforementioned figure was the actual initiator of the creation of Czech Observant province, which in the 17th century was transformed into a Reformed province. Based on the analysis of the description of history of the convent of St. Anthony in Wrocław, included in Chronica de origine (1678) by Father Bernard Sannig, and of the painting St. John of Capistrano from this convent, it becomes possible to present this saint as an important element of the identity, both on the provincial and local (the convent in Wrocław) level.

This article conceptually and empirically focuses on various dimensions of the Czech Global Justice Movement (GJM) dynamics. In discussions on the Western GJM it is possible to distinguish two main perspectives on the movement’s evolution, which were formulated in different contexts. One view claims that no such single movement exists anymore; it has already declined (or ‘spilled out’ into different field of activism). The other view argues that the movement is undergoing profound changes but its major principles and identity – at least latently – have survived. The aim of this article is twofold. First, it strives to re-introduce the concepts of ‘spillover’ and ‘spillout’ as multidimensional social processes and operationalise them to apply to the evolution of the Czech GJM in 2003–2009. Second, the article empirically traces the thematic shift of the Czech GJM towards anti-war activism and demonstrates that it is the movement’s collective identity that constitutes a key obstacle to its spillout in an unfavourable environment.

The aim of this article is an attempt to analyze the function of color involving the shaping of personal and collective identity. Psychologists believe that colors emphasize human personality. Colors allow to express emotions and promote shared values. Symbols of color unite people, facilitate communication, strengthen social bonds and motivate to action. The author assumes that we live in a culture of images and color is one of the tools and methods of cognition of the social reality.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba analizy jednej z funkcji koloru, jaką jest konstruowanie tożsamości osobistej oraz tożsamości zbiorowej. Psychologowie dowodzą, że kolor podkreśla osobowość człowieka, pozwala na wyrażanie swoich emocji, upowszechnianie uznawanych wartości. Symbolika koloru jednoczy ludzi, ułatwia komunikację, wzmacnia więzi społeczne, stanowi czynnik motywujący do działania. Autor zakłada, że żyjemy w kulturze obrazu, a kolor jako jego element staje się jednym z narzędzi i sposobów poznania życia społecznego.

The article is methodological in nature and analyses the use of focus interviews in collective memory research. First, the study design of typical focus interviews is presented and followed by a short review of basic concepts in memory studies indicating that memory is discursive in nature and should therefore be studied through focus group interviews. It is then illustrated with examples of application of the method in collective memory research. Methods employed in two studies are discussed in particular detail. These are two independently conducted projects investigating collective memory in Poznan. Finally, a SWOT analysis of the implementation of focus interview method in collective memory studies is conducted.

The principal goal of this article is to demonstrate the cultural and ethnical changes of Koreans living on the territory of Central Asian states of former Soviet Union. The article shows, on the example of Korean minority living in several states how important could be the state interventions for the formation and transformation of cultural and ethnic identity. Koreans living until the 19th century in Korea had, in spite of many regional, dialectic and religious differences, an idea of belonging to the same ethnic group. After the beginning of the outmigration to Russia from northern part of the country due to bad living conditions, there was a relatively rapid (and voluntary) acceptance of Russian culture. After their deportation to Central Asia their culture had begun to change in an even more important way, even though they were aware of their difference and this difference they wanted to maintain in certain areas. Still, they accepted the model of the “Soviet man”. Central Asian Koreans as national minority had a problem with identifying with “homeland”, as Korea due to diverging political conditions split into two states, officially inhabited by one ethnic group, but de facto with two. By confronting the culture of Central Asian Koreans with the culture in both parts of Korean Peninsula we see clearly that in many respects every one of the three groups is very specific.

The article concerns Anna Engelking’s 2012 anthropological study of contemporary Belarusian kolkhozniks’ collective identity. It traces the emergence of values, norms, and dichotomies constructive for that identity - “peasant” versus “lord,” “peasant” versus “Jew,” “Christian” versus “Jew,” and “Polish” versus “Russian” – the oppositions that have further determined the kolkhozniks’ self-definition as Simple and hard-working Christian muzhiks.

This article explores selected aspects of narrative expression of identification with social entities in Holocaust survivors’ oral history testimonies, including the related conflicts of identities. In its empirical dimension, the study is based on secondary analysis of archived interviews with people born in Czechoslovakia and labelled as Jews by the Nürnberg laws, who had left Czechoslovakia and remained abroad. Oral history interview is conceived as a social and linguistic interaction of interviewer and interviewee, aiming towards collaborative production of a comprehensible account of the past. The results show how the religious, ethnical, political and national identity of narrators is expressed in the interview as a part of the life-story plot. Second explored topic is the spoken tongue as an attribute of national identity during the pre-war, war and postwar period. Considering the characteristics of the analysed interview-sample it is precisely the (absence of) language knowledge, which is reflected in the interviews as an obstacle that had to be overcome by the narrators, often quite soon after the traumatic events of the wartime.

Influences of the discourse on language endangerment and multilingualism on young members of European language minoritiesThis article provides an analysis of the discourse on language endangerment used by the young members of European language minorities. The narratives come from a 100 interviews with young people who are engaged in activities on behalf of minority languages such as Kashubian in Poland, Upper Sorbian in Germany, Breton in France and Welsh in the UK. The way they formulate ideas on language endangerment and arguments they choose to encourage others to use these languages bears a strong resemblance to the discourse produced by international organizations, researchers and publicists. The analysis concerns three aspects of the discourse of young minority activists: appropriation of the dominant discourse of language endangerment and its role; constructing a collective identity as a part of a language movement through the discourse of responsibility for the future of the languages; discursive strategies of presenting the advantages of multilingualism and, in so doing, of learning and using a minority language. Wpływ dyskursu zagrożenia języków i wielojęzyczności na młodych przedstawicieli europejskich mniejszości językowychArtykuł przedstawia analizę dyskursu zagrożenia języków, używanych przez młodych przedstawicieli mniejszości językowych Europy. Wypowiedzi pochodzą ze stu wywiadów z młodymi ludźmi, którzy są zaangażowani w działania na rzecz języków mniejszościowych, takich jak kaszubski w Polsce, górnołużycki w Niemczech, bretoński we Francji oraz walijski w Wielkiej Brytanii. Sposób, w jaki formułują oni myśli dotyczące zagrożenia języków i argumenty, które wybierają, żeby zachęcić innych do używania tych języków, bardzo przypomina dyskurs używany przez organizacje międzynarodowe, badaczy i publicystów. Analiza dotyczy trzech aspektów dyskursu młodych aktywistów językowych: internalizacji dominującego dyskursu zagrożenia języków i jego roli; konstruowania zbiorowej tożsamości jako części ruchu na rzecz języków poprzez zakorzenianie dyskursu odpowiedzialności za przyszłość tych języków; dyskursywnych strategii przedstawiania zalet wielojęzyczności i, w związku z tym, uczenia się i używania języków mniejszościowych.

The anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 brought a plethora of articles, books, radio and television programmes, professional and popularizing events, profane and religious meetings. It is impossible not to ask a question why this particular anniversary was and still is remembered by such a powerful polyphony; in fact whether a certain historicizing of our consciousness, the causes of which are worth researching, is not a “sign of our time”. After a short introduction into the theoretical frame of the problem, the authors research this issue on the following levels: European discussion and its responses within the Czech environment (novel Náměsíčníci / The Sleepwalkers); new Czech interpretations and the breach of “taboo subjects” (thinking and acts of Tomáš Garrique Masaryk); return of “old Austria” with its institutions into public discussions (Jiří Rak phenomenon); activation of the wide public by means of events, including the religious ones; formation of new collective identities. In the conclusion, the authors express a thesis about the interconnection of historiographic, media and political production as well as about a real shift in the historical memory of the Czech public in view of the Habsburg Empire history.
