The performative potential of Logos as a component of the propagandist formula of Wisława Szymborska’s socialist realist poems The present paper proposes a handful of reflections on the performative dimension of the language of propaganda as viewed through the lens of the debut poems by Wisława Szymborska. The underlying assumption is that despite the unambiguous orientation of those texts towards achieving particular propaganda purposes, Szymborska’s early poems do express her authentic convictions and idealistic belief in the opportunity to realize them with the help of word understood as Logos. i. e. a creative and powerful force for influencing, shaping and changing the reality. Their nature is not only ideological but also ideational, which can be seen in the attempt to reconcile temporary persuasive goals with axiological substance based on the emotional engagement and sincerity of intentions. It finds its confirmation in the area of symbolism and imagery as well as in the thematic sphere so typical of the said Nobel prize winner, inspired by what is ordinary and individual while still being important and universal.
