Introduction: Parallax Perspectives on Polish Pasts

Key Points

Decentered studies on memory processes in Poland can challenge dominant narratives shaped by state policies.
The introduction emphasizes the necessity of local-level analyses, particularly in the context of the Law and Justice party's influence.
A brief literature review is presented, indicating existing gaps in the discourse surrounding collective memory in Poland.
The collection aims to provide an interdisciplinary perspective that enriches understanding of Polish memory processes post-2015.

Abstract

Summary This introduction to the special issue presents the overall theoretical and methodological argument of the collection, namely that decentered, interdisciplinary, and local-level studies of memory processes in Poland can act as a corrective to the dominant state-centered trends that have been observed during the eight years of rule of the Law and Justice party (2015–2023). The introduction also offers a brief literature review, as well as summaries of the individual articles in the collection.
