怀旧不仅可以由个人回忆引发，也可以通过接触或多或少虚构的唤起美好过去的叙述或图像，并引发对它们的渴望。我们分析了波兰怀旧文化建设中所涉及的制度和符号机制，以及它在产生使人们倾向于支持民粹主义，特别是右翼民粹主义意识形态的情绪中所起的作用。虽然各种政治选择都使用怀旧的符号学媒介来产生怀旧情绪，但我们认为，在政治上有用的怀旧调用之间存在内容和形式的系统差异，这与其支持者的意识形态有关。我们进一步重申，右翼民粹主义怀旧不仅唤起了民族的伟大，也唤起了民族的纯真。我们还确定了这些怀旧话语的具体特征。我们四个案例的经验材料范围从文本和电影叙事，通过图像和表演，到大型展览和博物馆项目。为了分析它们的内容并确定政治化的形式，我们建立在Svetlana Boym（反思与恢复性怀旧），Jan Assmann（交流与文化记忆）和Northrop Frye（低模仿与高模仿叙事形式）开发的概念装置之上。分析依赖于Geertzian的“厚描述”和扩展的案例研究方法。
Nostalgia can be triggered not only by personal recollections but also by exposure to narratives or images evoking desirable pasts, more or less fictional, and inducing feelings of longing for them. We analyze the institutional and semiotic machinery involved in the cultural construction of nostalgia in Poland and its role in generating sentiments that predispose people to support populist—particularly right‐wing populist—ideology. While various political options use semiotic vehicles of nostalgia designed to engender nostalgic sentiments, we argue that there are systematic differences of content and form between politically useful invocations of nostalgia, related to the ideology of their proponents. We further posit that right‐wing populist nostalgia invokes not only national greatness but also national innocence. We also identify specific features of such nostalgic discourses. The empirical material for our four cases ranges from textual and film narratives, through images and performances, to large‐scale exhibitions and museal projects. To analyze their content and determine the form of politicization we build upon the conceptual apparatus developed by Svetlana Boym (reflective versus restorative nostalgia), Jan Assmann (communicative versus cultural memory), and Northrop Frye (low mimetic versus high mimetic narrative forms). The analysis relies on Geertzian “thick description” and the extended case study method.
