Conservatism and The Problem of its Recognizability in The Public Discourse

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the Polish language version of the Paris Statement “The Europe We Can Believe In.” According to the authors of the Statement, the document is meant to be an expression of their concern about the current state of European politics, culture, society. They also articulated their attachment to and affirmation of the so-called true Europe. The analysis shows that what the Statement is expected to do is not only a declared affirmation of the true Europe but above all a confirmation of its own conservative character. The main part of this paper is devoted to the discussion on the later issue. In order to do so four formal aspects of the rhetorical organization of the Statement are discussed. The paper ends with several comments about a possible re-specification of traditions in the field of political culture as traditions of the forms of public discursive actions.
