Abstract

A semantic analysis of the concept of a ?politics of history? is essential to understanding the social transformations of the Third Republic of Poland and modernity in general. At the end of the 1990s, intellectuals associated with the Warsaw Club of Political Criticism (WKKP) popularized the idea of a ?politics of history?, which became a cornerstone in the semantic revolution of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) during 2003-2005. The opening in 2004 of the Warsaw Uprising Museum, cocreated by members of the WKKP, institutionalized this concept. Having appeared as a critique of modernity and in the context of a break with the past and of an orientation toward the future, this concept had a modern dimension: the pursuit of a revolutionary transformation of reality. Its reference to a future was not a break with the past, but a return to it.
