Nested, Pooled, or Exclusively National? Contested Sovereignty Models in Debates on the Future of Europe
The increasing electoral support for right-wing and far-right parties in Europe has brought the question of sovereignty back to the forefront of debates on European integration. These parties often challenge the transfer of national powers to the EU, making sovereignty a central point of contention. The main axis of the dispute on the shape and future of the EU lies between views calling for deeper integration and those advocating the protection …

Stereotypes Concerning Special Needs of Museum Visitors on the Example of the Museum of Engineering and Technology in Kraków
Currently, there is a lot of talk pertaining to the special needs of museum visitors, and the ways of building dedicated exhibition spaces as well as preparing sightseeing tours The lack of financial resources means that these accessibility tools cannot be fully created. Stereotypes of visitors with special needs then appear. Museum professionals try to eliminate them, which is why they increasingly include people with disabilities in the process…

The role of religion in sovereignist narratives of European integration: Symbolic Thickening and Identity Marking
The sovereignist vision of European integration is becoming increasingly present in the debate on the EU, although it is difficult to build a compelling narrative on European integration accommodating radical sovereignist claims. We look at the role religion plays in the construction of sovereignist narratives, taking Polish right-wing populist parties as our case study. In the findings we highlight the identitarian role of religion and the mecha…
From Hegemonic to Hybrid and Back? The Context-Adaptive Masculinity of Polish Male Migrants
The article aims to address the complexity of the models of masculinity (re)produced in the transnational context and explain the role of religion in this process. It draws on qualitative research conducted among religiously committed Catholic male migrants from Poland who have settled in multicultural and secular societies: England, Belgium, and Sweden. The transnational context often makes it difficult for migrant men to practice hegemonic masc…
Religion-Related Legitimations in Abortion Policy-Making in Poland. What Do They Tell Us About the Public Role of Religion
The existing research on and conceptualization of the public presence of religion usually builds on the Habermasian understanding of the public sphere. This has centered the discussion on the public presence of religion around the question of where such a presence is justified. Discourse theories offer an alternative understanding, stating that the public sphere is an area of struggles where diverse discourses compete to establish a definition of…
Women away from the altar! Resistance to the gender equality pressures in the Polish organisations of the Catholic Church in England, Sweden, and Belgium
This article examines the practices that maintain the gender asymmetry in transnational migratory religious organisations, as exemplified by the Polish organisations of the Roman Catholic Church (so-called Polish Catholic Missions). Based on interviews with women and men involved in these structures as well as on our observations during fieldwork, we reconstruct the gendered division of work in such organisations, with a special focus on differen…
Religion in the narratives of Polish members of the European Parliament – politicising European integration
The contribution investigates the role of religion in the work and attitudes of Polish members of the European Parliament (MEPs). It draws on two types of data: the results of the Polish part of the survey on Religion in the European Parliament and in European multilevel governance II (RelEP2) and qualitative content analysis of Polish MEPs’ speeches from the first part of the European Parliament’s ninth term of office (July 2019–June 2021). The …
Defending the unborn’, ‘protecting women’ and ‘preserving culture and nation’: Anti-abortion discourse in the Polish right-wing press
Poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe, and anti-abortion discourse shapes the debate and social attitudes towards the issue. The paper aims to reconstruct the way in which this discourse, as exemplified in the Polish right-wing press, constructs negative views about abortion and to identify the legitimation mechanisms it employs to sustain its interpretations. Based on our findings, resulting from a content analysis of articles …
Bargaining with gendered egalitarianism. A transnational compensatory patriarchy in Polish Catholic Missions in England, Belgium, Sweden
The article examines the transformations of masculine formal (ordained) power in the Polish migrant religious organisations of the Roman Catholic Church. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews with 97 transmigrant women and men (consecrated and lay activists) involved in 14 Polish Catholic Mission organisations in England, Belgium and Sweden, the article gives an insight into various criticisms of patterns of priests’ patriarchal power in the P…
Prawdziwi mężczyźni Boga” w „szatańskich miastach”. Religia i hybrydyczna męskość polskich migrantów w Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji
W artykule analizujemy konstruowanie męskości przez polskich migrantów zaangażowanych w działalność polskich organizacji Kościoła katolickiego za granicą. Przedstawiamy wyniki badań, które przeprowadziłyśmy w latach 2016–2018 z aktywnymi religijnie polskimi mężczyznami migrantami, w trzech krajach: Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji. Ramą heurystyczną analizy jest koncepcja męskości hybrydycznej, rozumianej jako konglomerat społecznych praktyk i reguł społ…
Spacery po Krakowskim Szlaku Techniki w popandemicznej muzealnej rzeczywistości
Krakowski Szlak Techniki (KST) to siedemnaście punktów na mapie Krakowa, które są podstawą do poznawania inżynieryjnej historii miasta. Szlak powstał w 2006 roku z inicjatywy Muzeum Inżynierii Miejskiej (MIM) i Urzędu Miasta Krakowa, a jego renesans przypada na lata 2020-2021. Wzrost zainteresowania KST wiąże się z czasem pandemii COVID-19, która uniemożliwiła uczestniczenie w kulturze i ograniczyła dostęp do rozwijania pasji, urozmaicania czasu …
W poszukiwaniu inspiracji badawczych: Religia w sferze publicznej w perspektywie teorii dyskursu
Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób zastosowanie teorii dyskursu do problematyzowania rozumienia religii i sfery publicznej może skierować uwagę na nowe aspekty w badaniu publicznej roli religii. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. W pierwszej, krótko prezentuję dotychczasowe badania na temat publicznej obecności religii, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem koncepcji teorii deprywatyzacji i religii publicznej José Casanovy. W drugiej części po…
The Black Protests: A Struggle for (Re)Definition of Intimate Citizenship
Próby zmiany prawa regulującego dostęp do aborcji w Polsce, podjęte przez polski Sejm w 2016 i 2018, zainicjowały intensywną społeczną mobilizację i szerokie protesty społeczne, określane wspólną nazwą „Czarnych Protestów”. Tę mobilizację traktujemy jako próbę (prze)definiowania obowiązujących pojęć obywatelstwa, a w szczególności jako wyraz poszukiwania nowego modelu obywatelstwa intymnego, czyli publicznego przedefiniowania praw dotyczących pry…
Competing Visions: Discursive Articulations of Polish and European Identity after the Eastern Enlargement of the EU
The enlargement of 2004 and 2007 significantly transformed the European Union in political, economic, and social terms. It also challenged the collective identities of Western Europeans as well as each of the newcomers. However, for new members, the prospect of joining a supranational political entity posed a threat to their newly established or regained sovereignty and nationhood. The integration triggered a process of redefinition of both their…
Płeć społeczno-kulturowa jako kategoria różnicująca w migracyjnych organizacjach religijnych
Celem artykułu jest analiza wzorów działań kobiet i mężczyzn w polskich migracyjnych organizacjach religijnych Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego na przykładzie Polskich Misji Katolickich (PMK) w Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji, rozpatrywanych jako izomorficzne, to znaczy zależne od środowiska społecznego i zmieniające się w jego kontekście. PMK to organizacje, które działają w społeczeństwach migracyjnych, pełniące wobec Polek i Polaków funkcje religijne, sp…
Gender in religion? Religion in gender? Commentary on theory and research on gender and religion
According to Morny Joy (2010), as well as Afshan Jafar, Rachel Rinaldo and Orit Avishai (2015), we can point to special features and connotations of the concept of gender in this research. Therefore, gender is often understood in research on religion as a descriptive and historical category. This means that it depicts particular life situations of women (rarely men) in the context of religion, including their religious experiences, religious prac…
Feeding the Body, Feeding the Gender: Dietary Choices of Men and Women in Poland
Food and eating serve as an expression of social relations and roles as well as a mechanism sustaining or challenging social structure and roles. This also includes marking and reproducing gender roles and identities. With the profound social, cultural, and political changes that have taken place there recently, Poland offers an interesting case study for grasping the changing meaning of both food and gender and the relationship between them. The…
Lost between Caesar and God? Religion and politics in post-socialist Europe
The role of religion in Central and Eastern Europe has long drawn the attention of scholars (e.g. Barker 1999; Borowik 2002; Eberts 1998; Stan and Turcescu 2011), with Sabrina P. Ramet making a con
Defenders of faith? Victims of secularisation? Polish politicians and religion in the European Parliament
Recent years have shown a growing academic interest in the role and function of religion in the EU. This resulted from ongoing discussions on the symbolic deficit of the European project and politicised debate on the Christian roots of European identity, as well as from the enlargement of 2004, which brought into the EU new member-states with different traditions of church–state relations and distinctive forms of religious governance. Our study c…
Concepts of religion in debates on secularization
Defining the concept of religion is a recurring theme in the sociology of religion. Yet the constant attempts to determine the subject of the study do not necessarily indicate the immaturity of the discipline. The ongoing discussions are rather part of a broader problem, as the acceptance or rejection of certain understandings of the core concepts determines the scope of the discipline's field. More importantly, it also permits other concepts to …
