The Voice of Rebellion: The Political Potential f Jakub Szela’s Story as Illustrated by the Example of the Narrative Spectacle Historia Jakubowa. Opowieść chłopska i babska

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the political potential of the narration about the peasants’ experience in contemporary Polish populist movements. The analysis concentrates on the narrative spectacle Historia Jakubowa. Opowieść chłopska i babska by Małgorzata Litwinowicz, which was shown for the first time in 2020, during the Black Protests. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that the story about the peasant resistance is used in Polish culture to construct “the people” as a political agent. This happens only if the medium of the piece of art is the voice. The reason why this correlation occurs is that the embodied voice has a greater capacity for affective impact, and as such it has a powerful influence on the audience, which leads to the building of a common identification – and a community.
