Abstract
The text attempts to explain the visible presence of the impact of Joanna Rapacka's work on the concept of today's Croatian studies in Poland, as well as the benefits that it brings both for students and academic staff. Getting acquainted with Joanna Rapacka's texts and confronting her critical approach to Croatian national myths are important points in the didactic process, which is shown by the example of the author's teaching experience in Croatian studies in Krakow. Her authority in the scientific community is of great importance for understanding this issue, which is why the considerations on the benefits of the researcher's legacy have been included in the broader context of Polish Slavic studies, with the recollections of other representatives of the community. It seems that the revision of the topicality of Joanna Rapacka's view of Croatian culture may be important both in Polish and Croatian public space today, when the importance of national themes and national culture is once again emphasised, which often makes it difficult to apply the criteria of objectivity in their assessment.
