description

The flow of the communication and the flow of the media-based communication take part in the process of mythisation. The present construction of space and its current classification are then introduced on grounds of testimonies of written words (individual statements in letters, lyrics, journalism). This paper presents the progressing cultural mythisation of the insular landscape of Pomerania, and especially that of the Island of Rugen, taking into account the following three phases: 1. Devaluation or evaluation of the north in the period of the Middle Ages and early Modern Era in the context of the Christian mission and the Biblical representation of the order. 2. The beginning of the mythology of culture around 1800, which refers to Shakespeare, Rousseau, Ossian and to Germanic and Scandinavian messages, and the same it makes from Pomerania an utopian and idyllic territory as well as a wild and uncivilized one, which also means the formation of the pathetic landscape. 3. The penetration along the entire area of Pomerania of the forming centralistic processes related to the establishment of the state institutions and introduction of the order by the Prussian state after 1815.
