U Pana Boga za piecem... prowincja i prowincjonalizm z punktu widzenia „tubylca”

Abstract

Text is an attempt to look, from the native’s point of view, at country’s picture as shown in film series by Jacek Bromski: In Heaven as It Is on Earth (U Pana Boga za piecem), God’s Little Garden (U Pana Boga w ogródku) and God’s Little Village (U Pana Boga za miedzą). A media image of the world presented there is a starting point for consideration of mythology of provincial paradise and its cultural determinants: symbolic borders and transgressions of various kinds: between polish identity and familiarity; between townness and countryness; between provincialism and cosmopolitism. One of the contexts taken into consideration in the article will be motif of provincialism becoming popular in Polish media.
