- Abstract
The article discusses three doctoral theses (of Anna Jungstrand, Anita Pluwak and Cecilia Aare) defended at Swedish universities that focused on the genre of reportage and included among other things the analyses of texts by Polish authors - Hanna Krall, Ryszard Kapuściński, Wojciech Tochman and Jacek Hugo-Bader. The article describes the theoretical starting points of these research works and the methods of identifying the characteristic features of the Polish authors' writing style: the creation of „credibility" of the literary reportage from the perspective of multilevel narrative (Jungstrand), the "meeting situation" between readers and characters of the reportage (Aare) and the interplay of temporal perspective with the „technique of pressure" if a reportage text is to be read from the perspective of Peter Brooks' theory of melodrama (Pluwak). Conclusions of the researchers were juxtaposed with the voices of critics (Peter England, Joan Tiberg), commented upon was also the Maciej Zaremba's thesis about the role of communist censorship in formation of writing style of Polish reporters that appeared in the preface to the anthology of Swedish translations of Polish reportages (2006) that was also repeated by Jungstrand and Aare.
