CONCEPT OF FOREIGNER IN THE MILITIA FILM. A CONTRIBUTION TO THE RESEARCH ON LUDIC AND PROPAGANDA DISCOURSE IN THE POLISH PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC

Summary/Abstract: An increasing interest in the popular culture of the Polish People’s Republic has been noticeable in recent years. The author believes that the ludic and propaganda discourse, which combines entertainment and persuasive functions, has a major part in it. This is evidenced by numerous mul􏰁modal texts, including crime stories, the so-called mili􏰁a crime stories. They provide an interesting research material for the contemporary media linguistics. This article presents a media linguistic reconstruction of the discursive image of a foreigner in militia cinema. The tool applied in the analytical procedure is the cognitive definition model. The analysis has proved that the image of foreigners is dominated by negative evaluation, which concerns Germans and Americans in particular. In the author’s opinion, developing this type of research will contribute to broadening the knowledge of persuasion mechanisms and Polish cultural memory.
