Pop-nostalgie, przekaz religijny a tożsamość nastolatka w świetle współczesnej prozy niemieckiej
Pop nostalgia, religious transfer and teenager identity as reflected in contemporary German prose

Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to look at the relation between pop culture and religious instruction in Catholic boarding schools as reflected in contemporary German autobiographical prose. The focus is set on the delineation of the impact on an education approach based on Christian values yet influenced by – and sometimes taking advantage of – pop culture. The main question is about the way of identity construction on the edge between religion and pop culture, i.e. about the influencing, limiting or even blockading factors.The objective of this article is to look at the relation between pop culture and religious instruction in Catholic boarding schools as reflected in contemporary German autobiographical prose.
