Polish culture after 1989 has been defined by conflicts surrounding
the remnants of modernity, phenomena marginalised during communism.
The book considers two such phenomena: the search for a common
tradition and the disappearance of utopia. Throughout the 19th and
20th centuries, romanticism provided a common tradition. After
1989, its place was assumed by Sarmatism, an elite and xenophobic
pre-modern cultural formation, into which contradictory values were
introduced, creating an explosive mixture of emancipation and
populism. The second remnant, the heritage of utopia, is addressed
in works whose critical visions of change are not comprehensive
projects, but rather rebellions. They begin with a questioning of
authority, and lead to a posthuman definition of humanity and
interspecies solidarity.
