| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis touches on the phenomenon of Redemptive Violence in terms of narratology and its manifestation in two populist parties, PiS and Fidesz. The research provides an effective framework of five-trope cycle to deconstruct populist parties’ narratives for the purpose of anwering two major questions: first, how do tropes of Redemptive Violence manifest in PiS and Fidesz narratives; second, what is Redemptive Violence’s effect on the political institutions and their respected society. For argumentation, the thesis employs all textual sources: public announcements, press releases, and other publications presenting claims of the PiS and Fidesz parties’ members. Specifically, the thesis outlines three prominent issues recognized in Poland and Hungary alike including the government’s response to the refugee crisis, attitude toward the LGBTQ+ people and the European Union. It has been found that both parties utilized storytelling as a means of propagating their selfrighteous statements, mobilizing supporters (electorate) and discrediting their opponents. The thesis comprehensively explains how vital facts are being deliberately omitted from populist parties’ claims making them invincible in their own artificial narratives. |
