He was all of these things. His monument in the center of Warsaw-on Piłsudski Square, of course-is inscribed with his proclamation that "a democratic Polish state must guard the cultural rights of all its citizens." He never quite lived up to that maxim, but he was far more respectful of cultural pluralism than most interwar European leaders. Ultimately, Piłsudski doesn't make a straightforward hero or a straightforward villain, because he was both.

I place this category in discussions about the liquid and second modernity and the figure of a refugee as the modern form of subjectivity. I show how such an understanding of citizenship exceeds the division between global and local and is therefore better suited for the problems of globalisation than national citizenship.

It begins with the original scene of the accident in the factory, and then it reviews the Warsaw cabaret scene of the early twentieth century, the theatrical and artistic avant-garde circle, the socialist realist cultural projects, modernist kitchen designs, workers' sport and proletarian art, to end with a reflection on gestures in films. In this way, the editors wish to propose a multifaceted, and at the same time fragmentary and distracted perspective, which would make it possible to extract from the documents, narrations and visual presentations, the still problematic and poorly recognised figure of the worker in Polish culture. These texts not only fit into the methodological postulates formulated as a performative writing of history, but they themselves become the performances of memory, in which the authors try to reproduce history, where the fundamental medium remains the body and gestures-captured in fragmentary relations, snapshot images and individual scenes.
