Abstract

This article analyzes Polish Solidarity’s propaganda practice. Drawing from a discursive archive comprising cultural artifacts, the movement’s policy statements, and augmented by interviews, this Foucault-inspired study reveals how “propaganda of protest” became a “pillar” of the Solidarity movement’s campaigning. This study analyzes propaganda strategies and tactics for mobilization and political engagement among Poles, and how campaigning aided power shifts between the movement and the authorities. Contextualizing this analysis in the Sovietized settings, this study shows that propaganda was inherent to Solidarity’s transgressive and subversive campaigning in multiple areas of the movement’s agency: mobilization and support building, construction of collective identities, coalition-building, issues management and policymaking, and implementation. Finally, I argue, that the qualities of Solidarity’s propaganda were culturally-grounded, based on the self-presentation strategies as well as the zeitgeist belief in engagement of workers’ with trade unionism rather than policies of the state socialist regime.

再访“Solidarność”:抗议的宣传与社会运动的运动
本文分析了波兰团结工会的宣传实践。从包括文化文物、运动政策声明的话语档案中提取,并辅以采访,这本受福柯启发的研究揭示了“抗议的宣传”如何成为团结工会运动的“支柱”。本研究分析了波兰人动员和政治参与的宣传策略和战术,以及竞选活动如何帮助权力在运动和当局之间转移。将这一分析置于苏联化的背景下,本研究表明,宣传是团结工会在运动机构的多个领域的越界和颠覆性运动所固有的:动员和支持建设、集体身份的建设、联盟建设、问题管理和政策制定以及实施。最后,我认为,团结工会的宣传质量是基于文化基础的,基于自我呈现策略以及工人与工会主义而不是国家社会主义政权政策接触的时代精神信念。
