Summary/Abstract: The text presents a vision of the role of culture in Poland in view of the world system theory coupled with the references to the theory of Pierre Bourdieu in the interpretation of Iván Szelényi. In its view one could talk abouta paradoxical role of the culture for the social dynamics of Poland. At the same time Poland is viewed as a semi-peripheral country in the global division of labor and a dominant role of the intelligentsia as an elite which can be perceivedas a cultural capital elite, position of which can not be challenged by neitherthe native economic elite nor the weak elites of the Polish state.
