On certain limitations of the globalization discourse in Poland: a cultural studies perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The assumption that globalization means the relatively free circulation ofgoods, texts, people, ideas and information on a global scale, as well as the circulation ofconcepts of globalization and views on it, is the starting point of this essay. Its main aimis to define the salient features of the Polish globalization discourse by comparing it withthe analogous discourse in the West, where it was first conceptualized.The conclusions arising from a closer analysis of the Polish discourse are as follows:regardless of whether methodological nationalism is considered a fundamental limitationupon any social science research determining its general priorities, such discourseprivileges traditional concepts of nation-state as a mode of sovereignty territoriallylegitimated and/or state-centrism on a world scale, which rest upon resentmentsmotivated by national memories of an inauspicious past and are of emotional,psychologically enduring character.
