Abstract

This paper outlines the image of Poland in Dutch newspapers between 1991 and 2014. Articles about the election of Lech Wałęsa and Donald Tusk, respectively, have been analyzed using theory on national identity, imagology and functional pragmatics by Anderson, Ehlich, Leerssen and others. The model for analysis builds and adds to El Farissi (2008), using key words. The results map the knowledge structures that can be found in De Telegraaf, de Volkskrant, NRC Handelsblad and Trouw. These show that the Dutch image of Poland has become more nuanced over the past 25 years, evolving from economically weak and newly democratic to cooperative and anti-Communist.
