Wybrane przykłady komercjalizacji symboli narodowych i patriotycznych w Polsce

Abstract

Selected examples of commercialization of symbols of national and patriotic significance in Poland

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in patriotic or national clothing and accessories. The use of specific symbols that have a historical heritage is interpreted in different, often extreme ways. The author attempted to analyze this phenomenon, not only in terms of the possible depreciation of national symbols. In this paper the author will briefly present the results of research conducted for an unpublished master’s thesis in 2017 on people wearing identity clothing.
