Abstract
Abstract Through reviewing recent textual representations of citizenship, I argue that the creation of new discursive forms is necessary for the project of developing a capitalist state in Poland. Specifically, I argue that a new model of citizenship is being discursively produced, one that rigidifies the public/private split, entrenching women within the “private.” This model of citizen as entrepreneur legitimizes patriarchal capitalist social relations, in which women and other groups are disadvantaged. The discussion relates the discourses of citizenship and womanhood to actual socio-economic conditions in contemporary Poland. I conclude by pointing to union and feminist actions of resistance against the state agenda.
