REGIMES OF HERITAGE

The paper discusses theoretical approach to the studies on religious heritage. Drawing from Michel Foucault’s reflection on regimes of truth, the author develops the idea of heritage regimes (see Bendix et al., 2012; de Cesari, 2012; Geismar, 2015) in the studies on a minority religion’s claims to the public sphere. Ethnographic research forming the basis of theoretical considerations was conducted in 2018 on the Rękawka celebration organized in Kraków. Nowadays, Rękawka consists of two parallel events. The first one is a reenactment of 10th-century Slavic native faith rites on the Krakus Mound, and the second a Roman Catholic festivity (an indulgence feast) held on an opposite hill. Both events are referred to as ‘Rękawka’ and both are perceived and advertised as belonging to Kraków’s heritage. However, the ways notions of heritage are used in reference to them differ significantly, shedding light on mutual entanglement of the secular and the religious as well as on the place of religions, e.g., Native Faith and Roman Catholicism, in the process of heritage building in Poland.
