This dissertation is a study of environmentalism in Poland, which applies ethnographic methods and examines the dynamics of specific environmental groups. The uneven power relations that have emerged between East and West play an important role in framing environmental discourse in Poland, influencing how Poles and West Europeans think about the Polish landscape and nature. Discussions about the environment are integrally connected to larger discussions on Polish identity and Poland's relationship to Europe. This project: is the first to apply a multi-dimensional approach to research of this movement. Its major contribution is the integration of scholarship on environmental anthropology with research on identity, vernacular religion, and performance, resulting in a more complete understanding of Polish environmentalism.

520 $a This dissertation is a study of environmentalism in Poland, which applies ethnographic methods and examines the dynamics of specific environmental groups. The uneven power relations that have emerged between East and West play an important role in framing environmental discourse in Poland, influencing how Poles and West Europeans think about the Polish landscape and nature. Discussions about the environment are integrally connected to larger discussions on Polish identity and Poland's relationship to Europe. This project: is the first to apply a multi-dimensional approach to research of this movement. Its major contribution is the integration of scholarship on environmental anthropology with research on identity, vernacular religion, and performance, resulting in a more complete understanding of Polish environmentalism.
520 $a My research includes a humanistic perspective which demonstrates how activists make use of symbols to articulate their agendas, construct identities, and how such symbols relate to philosophy, worldview, and religion. The primary symbol which I examine within the context of the Polish environmental movement is the wolf. I argue that in Poland the wolf serves as a key symbol, possessing a special place in the hearts and minds of many environmentalists. This image of the wolf is linked to a sense of humanity's ties to nature, a need to reassert that connection, and a deep respect and reverence for entities that are designated as "wild."
520 $a Global connections to environmentalist thought and practice have played an important part in the development of the environmental movement in Poland. Extensive networks share information ranging from practical matters to philosophical and spiritual issues. However, strategies that are adapted from international or Western organizations must be adapted to local contexts. This study integrates global and local perspectives with the symbols and philosophy as they are enacted, negotiated, and redefined through contemporary culture.
