Tematyka historyczna w telewizji regionalnej: Biała broń i Rekwizyty historii Piotra Słowikowskiego w TVP Łódź
Historical topics in regional television: Biała broń and Rekwizyty historii by Piotr Słowikowski in TVP Łódź

Summary/Abstract: One of the primary tasks of local (but also regional) media is “to promote the local culture”. Analysis of two cycles of historical programmes produced by TVP Łódź by Piotr Słowikowski, Biała broń (1986) and Rekwizyty historii (1994–1999) shows that regional television programs are exceeding the limits of locality, both at the level of content (in their presentation of Polish material culture and traces of history) and implementation (documentation and shooting took place outside the province of Lodz). These programmes can be seen as an attempt by regional television to contravene local parochialism.
