Journal Title: Kultura i Społeczeństwo - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 1

Abstract

“HARD-HEADED FANATICS” AND “BENEFICIARIES OF GOOD CHANGE” —THE COMMITTEE FOR THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY’S “OTHERS” The author addresses the question of how a collective consciousness is shaped, using the example of KOD (Komitet Obrony Demokracji—the Committee for the Defense of Democracy), a social movement that emerged in Poland to protest the activities of the government installed after the parliamentary elections of 2015. As collective identity is to a high degree defined by the characteristics of an “other,” the statements of activists and followers of the KOD movement are analyzed. These statements come from voluntary interviews whose aim was to obtain a characterization of the opposing side. On the basis of this analysis, the author provides a portrait of the current political scene and essential parts of the political discourse.
