The media, i.e. ...? The notion of the media with regard to Polish territories before WWII

Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 47

Abstract

The text in hand discusses the question of whether transmedia archaeology, a discipline focused primarily on seeking parallels between contemporary medial industries and those of the past, may include spatial aspects, or, more to the point, the manifestations of transmedial processes in countries situated beyond the cultural and economic centre of the world. The example presented in the article illustrates the diffusion of the industrially produced cultural content in the peculiar conditions of the constraints and deficiency of Poland in the interwar period (1918 – 1939). It also calls for a specific approach to the category of ‘media’: one should include in this category also the local phenomena which played the role of technical media in the underdeveloped regions. This approach is presented as a gesture aimed at overcoming the self‑colonising discourse concerning the backwardness with regard to the West and as a thought‑provoking analysis related to the critical considerations on the categorisations which seem dominant in the field of media studies.<br/><br/>
