“The more often it is set on fire, the better”. Contemporary symbolism of the rainbow in the polish press

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the contemporary symbolism of the rainbow, i.e. novel references raised during a public debate in Poland following the burning of a rainbow installation in Warsaw in 2013. The symbolism will be reconstructed through a textual analysis of press articles from two weeklies: the conservative W Sieci magazine and the liberal Newsweek magazine. We will examine how two ideologically opposing magazines profile the same event, which leads to the emergence of certain references of the symbol of the rainbow.
