| Summary: | This paper analyses how the relationship of the Polish audience to a
series from the 1970s, Czterdziestolatek (The Fourty-Year Old) evolved
during socialism and after the Fall of the Iron Curtain. Contemporary
reactions to the original series and a new season that was produced in the
early 1990s are compared to nostalgic recollections and memories of the
programme in later periods. The study discusses how the Polish audience uses
the programme as a historical document today and whether there is a
generational difference in the perception of the audiovisual interpretation
of Polish everyday life in the 1970s. |
