Poland's place
'countries of Central and Eastern Europe are still: 'marginalised and patronised' .. 'commonly treated as somewhat old-fashioned, backward and not modern' (Lindelow 2001)
Lindelof 2001: 'After the fall of communism, Eastern European countries should 'catch up' with the West'
'both economically and politically, and socially and culturally'
'what is also characteristic is that in the discussions about 'Eastern Europe' historical time is used as a measure of cultural distance.'
'Enlightenment, modernity, enterprise, democracy, human rights, individualism etc. are terms reserved for the Western European cultural and geographical zones.'
'Western European politicians demand discipline and obedience from those 'Eastern European' countries which have recently been allowed to join the 'high society' of the European Union'
East = 'epitomised by sensualism, irrationality, traditionalism or conservatism, despotism, primitivism, compliance and femininity'
