TI - Semiotic Guerilla. Historical Analogies and Deconstructions in Media Practices of Turbo- and Softpatriots
AB - 
	Currently, ostentatious evocation of patriotism and national symbols, their political instrumentalization and indoctrination exists in an atmosphere of permanent identity dispute. The reservoir of historical figures and emblems provides its both sides with instruments to manifest their ideas and multiply the basic anthropological dichotomy: ‘we’ versus ‘they’. Historical analogies are used to justify civil disobedience. Collective memory is commonly included in the repertoire of contestation practices, especially by the members of young generation, effectively using new communication technologies and codes of pop culture. Striving to establish their own symbolic representation, they intercept the attitudes and tools represented by the official memory discourse, they deconstruct national myths, and subvert privileged patriotic patterns. The article presents how so-called ‘turbopatriotism’ and ‘softpatriotism’ become the axis of Polish debate about Sławomir Doległo 200 the symbolic mainstream and periphery and how young Poles discredit hegemonic patterns of historical awareness.
