This event, part of the 'Science Explains the World' series with the Foundation for Polish Science, delves into the contemporary resurgence of Sarmatism in 21st-century culture, examining its presence in serials, memes, and online debates. It explores how media shapes our understanding of Polish identity and heritage through discussions based on recent publications.
The event "Nowe życie sarmatyzmu" (The New Life of Sarmatism), held as part of the "Science Explains the World" series in collaboration with the Foundation for Polish Science, investigates why Sarmatism continues to reappear in 21st-century culture, manifesting in popular television series, internet memes, and online discussions. It critically examines the role of media in recalling, processing, simplifying, and integrating the past into contemporary cultural discourse. The discussion will be guided by the publications of Maciej Nawrocki and Przemysław Wiatr. Nawrocki traces the history of Sarmatism as a concept that has been repeatedly rejected and reinterpreted, while Wiatr, a philosopher of media, analyzes how communication technologies alter our thinking and sense of history in a media-saturated world. The conversation will consider whether contemporary Polish identity is rooted in historical heritage or in continuously reprocessed media narratives, and why Sarmatism persists as a subject of criticism, cultural play, and a convenient mental shortcut for discussing national identity.
This event is part of a series and details regarding attendance or ticketing are not specified on the page, but it is listed under the 'Spotkanie' (Meeting) category.
