On the Need for Reciprocity: The State of Research on Vietnamese Culture in Poland. A Cultural Studies Discourse Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The Vietnamese diaspora represents the largest non-European minority in Poland, reflecting shifts in social attitudes and policies both domestically and internationally. The exchange between Poland and Vietnam began in the 1950s, influencing academic, artistic, literary, musical, culinary, popular cultures science and fostering enduring ties between the two societies. Text pose the question about the modalities of presentation of Vietnamese culture in Polish humanities or public discourse. This article aims to identify key research centers and figures and to trace the historical presence of Vietnamese culture in Poland. A chronological survey of bibliographic sources from Polish libraries and a review of cultural programs provides material for discursive analysis. This analysis explores how Vietnamese culture has been presented and its impact on articulations of Polish identity. Employing decolonial critique of modernity as a theoretical framework underscores the significance of researching Vietnamese culture in Poland. It highlights interdisciplinary methodologies that emphasize reciprocal cultural relationships amid geopolitical dependencies. By advocating reciprocity in cultural research, the study addresses the creation of knowledge models rooted in stable human relationships, countering the uncertainty of global political narratives.
