“…Such research has explored context-specific interactions between global trends and local perspectives that require regional and national investigation. 13 Literature addressing these phenomena has appeared regarding the americas, 14 asia, 15 and Western europe. 16 Interest in material culture and in particular in the cultural politics of food has emerged in studies about Central eastern europe, which have highlighted the presence of a variety of attitudes toward the contemporary market-based food system, ranging from embrace to refusal, from the continuation of pre-existing food networks and infrastructures to the creation of alternative food systems.…”

This article examines the future-oriented use of the culinary past in Poland’s food discourse through a qualitative analysis of popular food media (printed magazines and TV). We analyze how interpretations of food and culinary practices from the past are connected to contemporary debates. We contend that media representations of the culinary past co-create projects of Polish modernization in which diverse voices vie for hegemony by embracing different forms of engagement with the West and by imagining the future shape of the community. We distinguish between a pragmatic and a foodie type of culinary capital and focus on how they differently and at times paradoxically frame cultural memory and tradition. We observe the dynamics of collective memory and oblivion, and assess how interpretations of specific periods in Poland’s past are negotiated in the present through representations of material culture and practices revolving around food, generating not only contrasting evaluations of the past but also diverging economies of the future. Finally, we explore tradition as a set of present-day values, attitudes, and practices that are connected with the past, but respond to current concerns and visions of the future.

“…Over the last decade, we have also witnessed a substantial increase in publications dealing with food and foodways, of which the following special issues of Polish journals constitute just a selection: Czas Kultury on the politics of taste (2013), Studia Humanistyczne AGH on food fear and distrust (Bachórz, Kopczyńska 2018), Studia Socjologiczne on food and mobility (Bielenin-Lenczowska, Hryciuk, 2018), Kultura Popularna on food and film (2018) and Revista del CESLA on food heritage (Brulotte and Hryciuk, 2019). In summarising these developments one can say that the scholarship of Polish food research has reflected and developed the recent themes, approaches and methodologies of multidisciplinary and mainly Western food studies (see: Hryciuk and Mroczkowska 2012, Tierney and Ohnuki-Tierney 2012, Burnett and Krishnendu 2012, Murcott 2016.…”

This special issue of Ethnologia Polona comprises contributions from an international group of scholars who scrutinize the culturally embedded politics of food and foodways in Poland and beyond. The idea for the special issue “The Cultural Politics of Food and Eating in Poland and Beyond” stemmed from discussions and collaborations with academics working in the area of food studies, and with those who use food as a lens to look at different social, cultural and political phenomena. Both groups share a commitment to a critical perspective in the social sciences and humanities, and a need to strengthen this position within international academia. We developed this special issue around the cultural politics of food and eating in order to highlight the importance of a critical perspective while studying food-related issues. Our aim is to demonstrate both the thematic scope and the theoretical directions present in the contemporary studies produced by scholars working on Poland, as well as Polish researchers working on other regions. The territorial scope of the volume is wide as it features analyses based on abundant ethnographic and historical material from Poland, Belgium, Georgia, Ukraine, Dagestan and Argentina. The volume features contributions from scholars representing different disciplines (anthropology, sociology, social history and cultural studies) based on original research (extended ethnographic fieldwork, archival research and autoethnography) and presenting a clear methodological reflection.
