Emigration to the enclosed world – based on the nuns’ accounts

Summary/Abstract: The author’s aim is to analyze the nuns’ accounts on their spiritual and physical emigration to the enclosed world. Out of several dozen of sisters’ statements on their vocation, deriving from all sorts Polish religious congregations, the most engaging and extensive ones were chosen. The texts (altogether 20), placed on orders’ websites, were submitted to content analysis, aimed at isolating the dominant threads. They have an important cognitive value and present the dynamics of the vocation, which is not only a personal act, but also a social phenomenon; allow to distinguish factors that determine the choice of this unique way of life. Apart from the segmentation of the accounts according to the semantic key, in the basic scope also their linguistic features were taken into account.
