In WP1, Łucja Piekarska-Duraj will contribute to case studies illustrating various aspects of neo-traditionalism, in particular the link between various expressions of Catholic religiosity, especially in its most extreme forms,  and nationalist conservatism in Poland. Together with Agnieszka Sadecka, she is responsible for Task 3.9 in WP3, which aims at analysing images of the Self and of the Other in Polish public discourses, and more specifically, will focus on the understanding of the notion of Self through heritage narratives in Polish museums.
