Europe as the symbolic resource. The discursive construction of political identities in Poland
The analysis will be focused on the impact of the European Union on Polish party politics analyzed from the perspective of political identity construction. At the most general level I want to analyze what is the particular political image of Europe and how it is used as an element of the political identity. Although Polish relation with the European Union was an important part of politically correct discourse after 1989 and hence relatively undisputed and, in consequence, underanalyzed, nevertheless detailed reading of public utterances shows that sides of political conflict differed in this respect and struggled to use the symbolic “Europe” in the most convenient way. The trasformational correctness category coined to grasp the alleged agreement between main political actors related to the EU tends to conceal more or less subtle ways of playing with this symbol by parties who were not always keen of Polish accesion to the European Union but also tried to avoid the stigma of traitors of the raison d’etat. Therefore, textual manifestations of the political identity which directly or indirectly refer to “Europe” must be carefully analyzed to uncover the dialectics of identity and difference which characterized the political usage of this symbol.
