Literatura wobec pragmatyki warsztatu literackiego
LITERATURE IN THE FACE OF THE PRAGMATICS OF LITERARY TECHNIQUE

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the affinity of literature and journalism through the prism of dramatic works which bring both of these genres closer together. He emphasises that the aim of literature is first and foremost intrigue, the arousing of emotions and spiritualisation, while the aim of journalism is chiefly intrigue and the raising of tension. He shows that literature offers journalism the most important dramatic schemes and rules disposed towards mass communication. He emphasises that literature and journalism differ however in their understanding of even individual phrases like, for example, ‘rapacity’; for the former this represents ‘rapacity’ of thought, meaning, or experience, while for the latter more in relation to events, actions or plot. We find in the article also substantiation of the need for a conscious selection of reading materials on journalist degrees, a different selection than would be the case for philological studies; the author proposes the most important criteria in the selection of novels. He illustrates with concrete examples the possibility of combining even sensationally constructed dramatic works with artistic requirements.
