Okołoplebiscytowa Kolęda śląska Henryka Zbierzchowskiego jako przykład propagandowego wykorzystania semantyki kolęd do walki propolskiej w okresie konstytuowania się granic II Rzeczypospolitej
Henryk Zbierzchowski’s General Plebiscite Silesian Christmas Carol as an Example of the Propaganda Use of the Semantics of Christmas Carols in the Pro-Polish Struggle in the Period of the Constitution of the Borders of the Second Polish Republic

Summary/Abstract: In connection with the actions of the Great War and Poland’s regaining of independence, a series of updated carols was created, leading to the development of this species variety. The development of this form of artistic expression was also used in connection with the preparations for the plebiscite. The project was carried out in the Upper Silesian Voivodship. An example is the Silesian carol by Henryk Zbierzchowski published in “Szczutek” in Lviv in January 1921. It was introduced to the text of the Korfanty carol and thus assigned a sacred role of putting Silesia in order. It was not the only text of the carol updated by the same author because around 1919 he published a whole collection of such works, calling them “poetic variants” of carols.
