“Living Voices, Living Fortunes”. Democratization of History in Reportages of Svetlana Alexievich and Malgorzata Rejmer
The article analyzes the causative, emancipatory potential of the reportage of testimony, which going beyond its reporting function becomes a new form of liberating the voices of the victims of communist regimes and „remémoration” of the past. Svetlana Alexievich’s Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets and Małgorzata Rejmer’s Mud Sweeter than Honey. Voices from Communist Albania generate a space for reckoning with undemocratic past where it becomes possible: to (re)interpret history and regain the experience of its participants, to face up to historical trauma as well as to bring the identity back to the subdued. The discussed reportages question the objectivity of history, a homogeneous vision of the past, and thus open up to the constant reinterpretation of historical events.
