Prywatność opublikowana? : o dialogowym kształcie gatunków prasowych

Abstract

The article presents the press realizations of genres inscribing themselves into the formula of “privacy”. The author assumed that the dialogue formula in the press very often introduces private and intimate relations. The genre, though, in its basic form is a publicized statement. The analysis of various genre adaptations in which one can observe private and intimate relations (the form of a conversation or a private correspondence) showed that the function of introducing a dialogue is different many times: from faking privacy, and showing the backstage of the journalist job to publicizing private relations. At the same time, however, the examples in question proved that the intimacy of a dialogue in the press is a kind of convention and “imitation” of what is private, and just because of the awareness of publication it is a certain type of a game played with a reader.
