Abstract

The author discusses national character and provincialism as alternatives and paradox, based on the example of Polish culture. Namely, he proposes the thesis that provincialism can be viewed as the one of the alternatives of contemporary culture. He emphasizes the polysemy and manifoldness of the terms "provincialism" and "national culture", and his discussion is placed within a wide terminological framework — from national culture as interpretative metatext, through folklorism, provincial culture as scientific creation, the culture of underground (hippie culture) to the homeland and domiciliation.
