Kulturoznawstwo witalne. Mapa przeglądowa

The article presents the state of research and prospects for further development of Polish cultural studies towards the end of the 2010s. Occasionally accused of being stagnant or non-specific, the discipline is analyzed through the category of vitality. By applying it, the author attempts to provide a synthetic reconstruction of the panorama of Polish cultural studies. It is not only dense and diverse, but it also seems to have a guaranteed future. Polish cultural studies defends itself in the social field of relations in which contemporary researchers operate.
