Naród jako (nie)możliwość polityczna rekonstrukcja ideologii narodu i państwa Jana Rompskiego

Abstract

The article is an attempt to reconstruct the image of the nation Jan Rompski (1913–1969) – a Kashubian writer, co-creator of the ideological and literary group of Zrzeszyńce. J. Rompski’s vision of the Kashubian nation is constructed in relation to the nation and the Polish state. This idea for a long time organized the political discourse of Zrzeszyńcy and Jan Rompski himself, who in time became the group’s most important ideologist. In his political project about the Kashubian people, the writer emphasized that national identification may change, but it is always characterized by symbolism that allows the nation to define itself. Zrzeszyńcy introduced citizenship to this symbolism. In the ideology of Jan Rompski and Zrzeszyńcy, this means a subjective commitment of the Kashubs simultaneously in matters of their own national community and the Polish state.
