abstract = {The objective of the article is reflection on folk culture in the context of knowledge about the memory and knowledge about the past, deepened by the contemplation of mechanisms that appropriate the secondary pasts through the discourses of the dominating groups. The author argues that the traditional folk (or so-called peasant) culture is nowadays a culture without a subject and the ideological selection sieve and processes of globalisation only contributed to its whole areas falling into oblivion or being denied, while selectively keeping only those aspects which can easily undergo its institutionalised restitution. Pointing to the process of restitution being embroiled in the appropriating politics of memory, the author argues with the opinion of Barbara Fatyga who views folk culture as the modern popular culture.},
