The Hated and the Dead

The Kaczyński Brothers, Lech and Jarosław, have exerted considerable influence over the politics of Poland for more than twenty years. Lech served as President from 2005 until his death in a plane crash in 2010, and Jarosław served as prime minister in 2006 and still leads the Law and Justice party (PiS in Polish) to this day. As my guest today explains, the plane crash of 2010 which claimed Lech's life was much more than a personal tragedy, precipitating a polarisation of Polish politics and the election of a new Law and Justice government in 2015. But this government was a much more conservative iteration of the Kaczyńskis' government that had taken power ten years earlier. Since 2015, Law and Justice has co-opted the Polish media, attempted to restrict abortion rights, and used increasingly hardline rhetoric on LGBT issues.Other countries that have experienced similar political phenomena in recent years have often languished in economic stagnation high unemployment in the years prior. But the interesting thing about Poland is it hasn't stagnated since the Fall of Communism; on the contrary, it has flourished, even seeing handsome economic growth in 2008. Poland, then, is a case study of cultural, rather than economic dislocation. My guest today is Stanley Bill, who is the Director of Slavonic Studies at the University of Cambridge. He also founded the news site Notes from Poland, which examines issues within contemporary Polish politics and society. Stanley also has his own podcast, and this interview will be going out on that.

In Czesław Miłosz's Faith in the Flesh: Body, Belief, and Human Identity (Oxford University Press, 2021), Cambridge professor Stanley Bill offers a profoundly original, fine-grained, and rich interpretation of the poetic œuvre of Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz. The book presents Miłosz's poetic philosophy of the body as an original defense of religious faith, transcendence, and the value of the human individual against what he viewed as dangerous modern forms of materialism. The Polish poet saw the reductive “biologization” of human life as a root cause of the historical tragedies he had witnessed under Nazi German and Soviet regimes in twentieth-century Central and Eastern Europe. Stanley Bill argues that Miłosz's response was not merely to reconstitute spiritual or ideal forms of human identity, which no longer seemed plausible. Instead, he aimed to revalidate the flesh, elaborating his own non-reductive understandings of the self on the basis of the body's deeper meanings. For Miłosz, the double nature of poetic meaning reflects the fused duality of the human self. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). Learn more about your ad choices.
