Blondynki na krańcu świata. Kobieca opowieść o Czarnym Lądzie

Abstract

Blondes at the end of the world: women’s narrative on Africa

The text is an attempt at determining in which direction the contemporary travel documentary is going, based on the example of artistic achievements of Beata Pawlikowska and Martyna Wojciechowska. The authors, using the features of the transmedia narration, show the small parts of the world and facilitate the understanding of the „Other”. The documentary is evolving, it adapts to human likings and undergoes technical development into women’s transmedia story. The expectations of the mass culture influence the quality of the presented stories, and a specific kind of „product” is created for the consumers.
