- Title
DER GROBE POMMER: ÜBER DIE POMMERN, EIN STEREOTYP UND EINE ANEKDOTE.
- Authors
WÓJCIK, BARTOSZ
- Abstract
The story about the rough Pomeranian has been repeatedly revised and published - by editors who have been independent of each other - for almost half a millennium. It has been modified by about 35 authors in about 40 versions. Its roots seem anecdotal; it has been adapted in epic, lyrical and dramatic texts. It referred to a long-established stereotype with negative connotations about the region of Pomerania and its inhabitants. On the one hand, it showed the perception of the autochthonous population, but on the other hand, it also offered a way of dealing with this detrimentally tainted image. The article compares individual variants of the story and interprets them imagologically.
