	PMRC ESSAYS: Harley - Notes on Women Composers
		Another characteristics of the Polish musical scene is the fact that women who write music do not like to be grouped according to their gender and identified as "women composers." The masculine form of the name of their profession, "kompozytor," seems to be the preferred form of address, especially in formal situations.
		A particular aspect of Polish gender stereotypes is the connection between the esteem for motherhood and the emphasis on the mothers' achievements in preserving the Polish language and culture.
		Thus, in the Polish national mythology, "mother" became a heroic figure: "Matka Polka" whose work for the country was as vital as her importance within the family.

		Polish national mythology, in a large part formed during the partitions in the nineteenth century, is dominated by anti-Russian military uprisings of 1830 and 1863 and other military operations directed mostly against Russia.

		As a result, Polish culture is seen in the West as one of the weaker cultures, and Western perceptions of Poles tend to fall into orientalizing stereotypes.
		The discourse of Polish national identity disarmingly celebrates these roles and even, by analogy, asserts the feminization of Poland (I am here referring to the allegory of Poland as a loving and yet virginal mother); then it erases all of this by pretending that Polishness is unisex.
		Anxious to be claimed by the "parent" culture, Polish studies outside Poland often adopts the "parent's" judgment as the norm and strives to achieve it.

		Polish critic Jerzy Jarzebski brilliantly reads the Schulzian chronotope as the fusion of "dream time" or mythic time with labyrinth space,24 but fails to recognize the connection to the ancient Jewish texts.
		The "Pure Form" of mythology for Schulz is not some specific fixed state that we could imagine, like Rousseau's "state of nature," but rather it exists in an environment of constant uncertainty, in which it might emerge as a singularity at any moment.

		Polish commerce was weakened by the process of absorption into the nobility [warstwa szlachecka] of the most prominent individuals from among the patriciate.
		Polish commerce fell into decay because of this infiltration, its wealth melted away, its social standing deteriorated, and its strength in competition with the Jews weakened.
		Polish Jewish historians in the 1930s pointed to such events and phenomena as the period of Catholic reaction in Poland during the 17th and 18th centuries, anti-Jewish propaganda, the Chmielnicki pogroms (1648−49), blood libel accusations, allegations of Jews spying for Poland’s enemies, and forced conversions.
