Entangled in politics, ethos, media

Mirosława Drozd-Piasecka

Abstract

The article presents anthropological reflection on the actions of the members of Polish post-Solidarity political elites, particularly regarding their political ethos. The analysis pertains to the attitudes towards legal norms observed and registered in the media (including the Internet), the behaviour and approaches displayed by representatives of various organs and political parties which infringes on legal norms or unwritten principles of conduct. Particular emphasis is placed on defining the attitude towards this phenomenon demonstrated by various social circles, including the so-called ordinary citizens. Each of the discussed problems is illustrated with a specific (local, as recommended by Geertz 1983) context of history, politics and culture, i.e. the Polish political scene and the actors present on it after the establishment of the Solidarity movement in August 1980. The present article contains an analysis of the old and modern ethos of a politician and politics, as well as on their relations with the community.
