- Title
Chapter 6 - Rumour as a metaphor for social truth.
- Abstract
The article examines the concept of Tartu sausage factory rumour in Estonia as a metaphor for social truth. It explores the beliefs, prejudices, values, and stereotypes of the post-war period which can be reflected in the legend and the correlation between the sausage factory tale and the prevailing social-political conditions. It also notes the contradictory and violent history of Estonia and the interpretation of legends and rumours as serious expressions of social anxiety.
