How to read beyond the lines? On the usefulness of Michał Głowiński’s research on communist newspeak for historians of the 20th century
This text is the result of a reflection on the usefulness to historians of the second half of the twentieth century of the research on communist newspeak initiated by Michał Głowiński. It is presented in the context of considerations of interdisciplinarity and the interrelationship between literary studies and historiography. It is an attempt to show how the study of Newspeak can expand the field of historiography, provide concepts and analytical…
Practicing Modernity at Home
This article explores gendered notions of modernity in late socialist Poland in the context of the household. It examines the scenarios of modernity for the household that were developed by various expert bodies and popularised by the mass media, and women's memoirs written as competition entries that describe their everyday practices. The main aim of this analysis is to examine how the memoirists responded to expert discourses about gendered mod…
Eating healthy, eating modern. The “urbanization” of food tastes in communist Poland (1945–1989)
The paper analyses the changes of food behaviours in post-1945 Poland in the context of socialist modernization. It is focused on both discourses and everyday practices. After 1945 Poland was a nearly mono-ethnic rural society which experienced fast modernization, industrialization and urbanization. The communist authorities who promised social justice and universal prosperity faced a problem of painful food shortages. This resulted from the afte…

Deprivation of Everyday Life and Coping Strategies During the Crisis of the 1980s in Poland
This article seeks to show how the economic, political, and social crisis of the 1980s in Poland was experienced, understood, survived, and managed in the micro-scale of individual households. Keeping in mind the inner dynamic of the period, I focus on the first years of the economic collapse (1980–1982), when supply shortages were extremely painful. The text contributes to the current interest in every-day life practices under communism. It inte…
Household as a Battleground of Modernity
This essay seeks to show the Polish household in the communist time as a space of modernity and modernisation activities. The chronological framework is set between 1957 – the date the Home Economics Committee affiliated to the League of Women was set up to contribute to, and be a mouthpiece of, the everyday life modernisation policy – and 1980, being the symbolic borderline between the modernity discourse and the Polish 1980–1 crisis discourse a…
