Unraveling How to Write a Myth: Stories, Rituals, and Collective Memory at Royal Łazienki Museum

This lecture, 'How to write a myth? Stories, rituals, and collective memory,' led by cultural semiotician Marcin Napiórkowski, explores how collective imagination shapes our understanding of history. It discusses the role of stories and rituals in shaping the past and their potential to build a better future, connecting to the 'Ikonosfera Wyspiańskiego' exhibition.

This lecture delves into the intricate relationship between stories, rituals, and our collective understanding of history. Cultural semiotician Marcin Napiórkowski will discuss how shared narratives and symbolic practices influence our perception of the past and how this can inform the creation of a more prosperous future. The talk highlights the power of artistic mediums, from painting and literature to theatre, in shaping collective imagination, drawing parallels to historical figures like Jan Matejko and Henryk Sienkiewicz who provided visual and narrative frameworks for understanding Polish history. The event is presented as part of the broader context of the 'Ikonosfera Wyspiańskiego. Noc listopadowa w Łazienkach Królewskich' exhibition, suggesting a thematic connection between myth-making and artistic representation. Marcin Napiórkowski, a professor at the Institute of Polish Culture at the University of Warsaw and the director of the Museum of Polish History, brings his expertise in collective memory and myth analysis to this discussion. His work, including books like 'Powstania umarłych' and 'Turbopatriotyzmu,' focuses on these themes. He is also known for his contributions to 'Tygodnik Powszechny' and his involvement in the musical '1989.' The lecture aims to foster a deeper understanding of how we construct and utilize our historical narratives.
