Pochwała profanacji. „Trzecia droga” w kulturze polskiej lat 80.
In Praise of Profanation: The ‘Third Way’ in Polish Culture in the 1980s

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the significance and potential of the ‘Third Way’ in Polish culture in the first half of the 1980s. Kościelniak characterizes the work of artists associated with the Łódź-based group Kultura Zrzuty [Chip-In Culture], highlighting these artists’ critical position towards the national and Catholic tradition. He presents their works in the context of Polish society in the first half of the 1980s, and shows that national and Catholic themes were inextricably written into the Solidarity movement. Thus he proposes to look at the ‘third place’ occupied by Kultura Zrzuty as a political position and a fulcrum point to criticize Polish culture.
