Abstract: | This article explores discursive constructions of ethnicity, and particularly notions of 'Polishness' among members of three-generation families living in the Polish town of Zgorzelec on the border (here as: o-the-b./on-the-bs.) with Germany. The data come from a Europe-wide ethnographic project studying communities living on-the-bs. btw. the EU and its ascendant nations. It is argued that the contradiction in the study's informants' discourse of identity (here as: id-y.) is a result of two different ideological bases underpinning it: the lived ideology accomplished in their discourse clashes with the intellectual ideology explicitly adopted in their declarations of id-y. |
