Description
Résumé:The author analyses audio-visual productions from recent years referring to hagiographic narra-tive structures, with a main focus on the construction of characters typical of literary and film hagiographies. The presented study shows that hagiographic structures infiltrated film narratives about soldiers of the Polish underground fighting for independence after World War II and fulfil communicative functions analogous to their literary versions. The undertaken research leads to the conclusion that what dominates are persuasive functions aimed at shaping patriotic attitudes and promoting values which influenced the characters modelled on historical figures of the so-called indomitable soldiers (or “cursed soldiers”) who opposed the communist power in Poland.
