- Title
IMAGES OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN POLISH CINEMA AND LITERATURE AFTER 1989.
- Authors
ZWIERZCHOWSKI, PIOTR
- Abstract
Although since 1989 almost thirty years have passed, images of the People's Republic of Poland constantly appear in Polish cinema and literature. Attention should be paid to their multiplicity and heterogeneity, and even contradictory character, resulting from different experiences of PRL, authors' strategies, poetics and ways of narrating, genre patterns, various functions, as well as from a variety of contexts: biographical, historical, political, social, aesthetic, related to someone's identity or worldview, and many others. In this article, the author focuses on several important phenomena related to the main issue. These are nostalgia, the transition from the domination of politico-ideological and moral settlements to private narrations, and, finally, the conviction that it is not possible to create a single image of PRL.
