Koncepcja patriotyzmu krytycznego jako punkt odniesienia polskiej polityki historycznej. Przypadek parlamentarnego dyskursu o zbrodni katyńskiej i ludobójstwie na Wołyniu
The Concept of “Critical Patriotism” as a Benchmark for Polish Politics of Memory. Parliamentary Discourse on the Katyn Massacres and the Genocide in Volhynia

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the idea of “critical patriotism”, expressed mainly in the prominent essay Two fatherlands, two patriotisms published in the early 1980s by Jan Józef Lipski. The Discourse-Historical Approach in Critical Discourse Analysis was applied to examine over 30 commemorative resolutions adopted by the Polish Sejm and the Senate between the years 1990 and 2019. The author argues that the concept espoused by J.J. Lipski had (and still has) great impact on the political elites of the Third Polish Republic. The article will demonstrate that the analysed documents strongly reflect the discourse associated with the idea of “critical patriotism”.
