Różne modele protestu i wizja kultury w Reformacji

Abstract

The article is an in-depth analysis of the forms of protests related to the Reformation. In three parts, the author first discusses the three primary models of protests associated with Martin Luther, focused around the metaphorical representations of Luther as a philosopher with a hammer, Luther strengthening his position on the battlefield, and Luther proclaiming the freedom of the Christian. All these metaphorical representations reveal the break of ties with tradition and the present and stress those values associated with Protestantism, such as individualism, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, autonomy and independence of the subject. Next, the article describes radical forms of protest in the broadly understood Reformation related to the act of burning documents and books and demonising the opponent in satirical exaggerations in figures and pictures.
