The naturalization of runaway rights
This paper explores how political demands transform into collective rights through a psychological lens, emphasizing the process of naturalization. Building on Moghaddam et al.'s framework, the authors introduce the idea that collective demands, when reframed as rights, are perceived as inherent, timeless, and essential to group identity. The paper discusses psychological mechanisms like essentialism, autochthony beliefs, and collective continuit…
A repeasantisation in Poland? New farmers, the peasant mode of production and their situations in local communities
This article discusses Poland's new farmers: people who have left the city to engage in agriculture and urban people with a ruralbackground who return to their villages to start farming. We analysed their mode of production using the categories of van der Ploeg (2018).: We also focused on the relations between the new farmers and their communities. The results show that new farmers farm in a peasant-like way. However, they also constitute a disti…
De-assimilation Without Assimilation? The Continuities in the Polish Secular Model of Jewishness
This article critically examines Krajewski's (in this issue of Contemp Jewry) argument about the assimilation and subsequent de-assimilation of the Jewish population in Poland. While Krajewski asserts that Polish Jews underwent a process of assimilation followed by a revival of their cultural and religious practices, the authors argue that the term "de-assimilation" is not applicable in this context. They propose that post-war Polish Jews conscio…

This analysis leads to reflection on the division that exists in the subject literature between “northern” and “southern” AFNs. The authors argue that this division does not capture the complex situation of Central and Eastern …
Who defines humanity? Psychological and cultural obstacles to omniculturalism
In this article we discuss the social-psychological limitations of using omniculturalism as a tool to improve intercultural relations between majority and minority groups. The omnicultural imperative suggests that intercultural interactions be framed in terms of human commonalities. This strategy might face severe psychological and cultural obstacles. Due to automatic mechanisms of ingroup projection, such framing might have adverse effects: Peop…
