Due to Words. ‘Poezja przydrożna’ by Władysław Hasior, ‘Słownik polsko-polski’ by Wojciech Wilczyk

Summary/Abstract: This article – a contribution to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis – is devoted to photographs documenting visual propaganda. Its main theme consists of two distorted paths of the ethical discourse, and, at the same time, two variants of newspeak: socialist / communist (documented in photographs by Władysław Hasior) and national-Romantic (in photographs by Wojciech Wilczyk). An analysis of the newspeak phenomenon casts light on problems pursued by Polish society in recent decades.
