Heritage route as pilgrimage. Visiting the battlefield in Ossów
Scholars have recently been paying more attention to the relationship between religion and heritage, which has brought a deeper focus to processes of ‘sacralisation of heritage’ and ‘heritagisation of religion’. I take this reflection in the direction of discerning how religious practice often underpins the creation of heritage. The case study I tackle here centres on the anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Warsaw fought during the Polish-S…

Dziedzictwo religijne w badaniach antropologicznych. Między perspektywą świecką a religią przeżywaną
The article discusses academic approaches towards religious heritage. Drawing on the experience of ethnographic research in Poland, I suggest that analysis based on a relation: sacralisation of heritage – heritagisation of religion does not exhaust interpretive perspectives on the described phenomenon, as it locates it exclusively on the secular plane. Deriving from the notions of “religious heritage complex” and “adjacency,” I demonstrate that r…
Interviews in Global Catholic Studies: Kamila Baraniecka-Olszewska
Andamong her monographs are World War II historical reenactment in Poland, the practice of authenticity and The Crucified, contemporary passion plays in Poland.And also on a personal note, she's been a great friend of the Catholics and Cultures initiative at the College of the Holy Cross as published in the Journal of Global Catholicism.And is a really important scholar when it comes to discussing not only Catholicism
Sacralizing a Battlefield: The Religious Heritage of the Battle of Warsaw 1920
This article presents a process of creating religious heritage that goes beyond the "sacralization of heritage" or the "heritagization of religion". It is grounded in the assumption that religious heritage may be an element of lived religion, while the strategies of managing the past (and of preserving and transmitting values) observable within Roman Catholicism all fit within the discourse of heritage. This text focuses on the heritage of the Ba…
Representing the Other and the Democratization of History. Polish Reenactors in Nazi Uniforms
Through a case study of the World War II reenactment movement in Poland, this article analyzes the relationship between the processes of the democratization of history and the normalization of the Nazi past. There are numerous groups whose members dedicate their time to represent Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS units and do so in the public while reenacting battles or restaging historical events. Despite the dominant moral attitude which condemns represen…
Jak turystyka kulturowa wpływa na dziedzictwo niematerialne
Ujmując dziedzictwo jako procesualnie zmieniający się zbiór elementów przeszłości przekształcanych w teraźniejsze doświadczenia [Ashworth 2015], do jego niematerialnych przykładów zaliczać można wiele tradycyjnych, jak i współczesnych praktyk. Są to m.in. zwyczaje, bajki i legendy, opowieści, przepisy i smaki, sztuki widowiskowe i tradycje muzyczne, wiedza, rzemiosło i różnorodne zachowania świąteczne lub codzienne oraz towarzyszące im materialne…
Buffalo Bill and Patriotism: Criticism of the Wild West Show in the Polish-Language Press in Austrian Galicia in 1906
The article juxtaposes two perspectives guiding the perception of ethnographic shows, namely, a contemporary and an earlier one. The article uses the example of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows, staged in 1906 in the Polish territories under Austrian rule. Deriving from present criticisms of ethnographic shows and their interpretation through the prism of colonial studies, the author examines the types of reception of such performances met in place…

Introduction to the special section "The politics of heritages and Kraków’s cityscape
The state historical policy and the default religious heritage in Poland: On introducing pagan heritage to the public sphere in Kraków
This article discusses the role of the state historical policy in constructing national heritage in Poland. The author focuses mostly on the dominant place Roman Catholicism occupies in the Polish memory complex and in Roman-Catholic-related national identity projects, since these also affect the process of construing national heritage. Applying Pasieka’s notion of hierarchical religious pluralism, the author examines the construction of religiou…
The Sarrasani Circus in Opole. On Entertainment in the City in the First Decades of the 20th Century1
The article presents outcomes of the transformation of ethnographic shows into circus acts at the example of Sarrasani Circus performances in Opole (German: Oppeln) in the beginning of the 20th century. The author examines how circus performances created experience of the extraordinary on stage by presenting faraway, distant, exotic cultures. Thus ethnographic shows in the Sarrasani Circus were an element of magic world of wonders performed at ar…
Authors' Introduction
Natura Sanat: On Ecological Aspects of Healing Miracles in Kalwaria Pacławska, Poland
The subject-matter of my article is a change affecting the discourse on miraculous healings in a Catholic Marian sanctuary – Kalwaria Pacławska – run by Franciscan friars in the South-Eastern Poland and a way in which those changes affect pilgrims’ bodies. In Kalwaria Pacławska there meet, intersect and compete various religious and secular discourses and they all influence emotions and bodily sensations accompanying pilgrimage to this sacred sit…
Managing Sensational Forms: Optimization, Maximization and Efficacy. The Great Fair in Kalwaria Pacławska
Re-enacting Historical Slavic Rites in Contemporary Poland
The article aims to show how ethnographic data concerning religious rites, both Catholic and pagan, circulate in culture and thus become a kind of historical source for re-enacting other, invented religious rites. In the example of the Rękawka fair in Cracow, it is demonstrated how religious content present in nineteenth-century ethnographic descriptions, originally ascribed to pre-Christian paganism but incorporated into a Catholic fair, was sep…
War Matters. Constructing Images of the Other (1930s to 1950s)
This volume, War Matters: Constructing Images of the Other (1930s to 1950s), describes how we understand the role of war in how the Other is depicted. However, in the following part of Introduction we would like to point out some more general questions to which authors refer in the volume and which we perceive as crucial for the analysis. Some of the authors deal with formal techniques and means of representation (for example introduced by the in…
Golgotha on City Peripheries: The Passion Play in Bygdoszcz Fordon
Passion plays are gaining more and more popularity in Poland. Through participation, the faithful seek answers not only to their religious doubts, but also to the problems of the contemporary world. That is why some Easter play organizers decide to depart from the classic script of Passion plays, based on the Stations of the Cross, and to prepare for the audience performances which interpret political and social processes through the religious st…
