From Narrating to Presenting Facts. Reportages about Post-war Times in Warmia and Masuria Region

Joanna Chłosta-Zielonka

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to point to the ways of narrating history in the reportages written after 1945 and concerned with the issues of land disinheritance, culture and language of people living in the Warmia and Masuria region, as well as, in the case of the Masurians, religion after the territorial changes which took place after the Second World War. A certain regularity can be noticed in these reportages. It consists in creating narration about the past and approaching present-day literature, with the authors acting as moralizers rather than merely as informers who present their knowledge of facts. This phenomenon could be observed just after the war, later in the times of the Polish People’s Republic, and can be observed nowadays when reporters want to revive a forgotten topic.
