Abstract: The proposed analysis stems from previous theoretical works on the symbolic constitution of society, as well as a series of studies on the symbolic transformation in Poland. The presented analysis attempts to uncover the inner process of the semiosis of transformation in terms of time and temporality. Time encompasses the events that mark its significance. Time manifests itself in a different sense as the time of acting subjects. When we refer to time in this sense, we are dealing with a multitude of times. Thus, varieties of time will be presented depending on the field where new events appear. The starting point of this analysis is the timeline of events from February 6, 1989 to March 12, 1999. They are analyzed depending on what field of activity they occurred in: political, economic, social, international relations, symbolic practices performed on the past. The semiosis of transformation will be analyzed from the angle of producing multiple times. Facebook page of the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1482599389346835/
