Dwa spotkania międzykulturowe — przedstawienia i konteksty
Two Intercultural Encounters — Performances and Contexts

Summary/Abstract: Author proposes constructing cultural diagnosis of Poland after 1989 using anthropological and sociological concepts of cultural diversity, multiculturalism and intercultural encounter. The multi-stage research project aiming at critique of the monocultural vision of Poland is outlined. The first stage is discussed in the detail by reference to two cases of intercultural encounter: 1) historical reconstruction i.e. encountering the past and 2) encountering the otherness as in the international folk-music festival. The both types are described and compared using the Victor Turner’s theory of social drama (spectacle). The cultural unity of Polish culture is described as based upon the intercultural contact and pluralism of types of culture.
