TY - JOUR TI - On the Possible Benefits of Taking up Polish Studies in the United States AU - Filipowicz, Halina TI - On the Possible Benefits of Taking up Polish Studies in the United States AB - ON THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF TAKING UP POLISH STUDIES IN THE UNITED STATES The article presents major challenges and opportunities facing Polish studies in the United States. Beginning with a brief historical survey, it assesses the state of American Polish studies at the start of the twenty-first century. It argues that to map the changing landscape of the field, it is necessary to move away from stereotypes that have hampered a fuller, more complex understanding of American Polonistics. It concludes by examining paradigm shifts that are taking place across the discipline as it is practiced in the United States. ∗Artykuł jest nieznacznie zmienioną wersją tekstu, który ukazał się pierwotnie w „Slavic and East European Journal” (vol. 50, no 1 [2006], s. 117–134) pod tytułem What Good Are Polish Literary Studies in the United States? Przedruk za uprzejmą zgodą redakcji.
