Współczesne mity polityczne. Mity Okrągłego Stołu oraz IV rzeczpospolitej jako mity powstania nowego państwa
(WSMiP UJ/Księgarnia Akademicka, 2013) Włodarczyk, Joanna; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
The concept of myth has been explored as a prelude to an analysis of the Round Table and the Fourth Republic of Poland, the political project which reached its peak in 2005 -2007. Initially, the myths were designed to reduce the existential uncertainties and give meaning to human actions. Thus, in that sense, they were never false. This scheme has changed when political myth was born, which was purposely created in order to gain more power. The paper, by analyzing political speeches and some examples of election campaigns of 2005 and 2007, discusses the links between the irrational content of myth and the rational techniques used to spread it.
