Societies build images in order to defi ne membership, to communicate values and norms,to appoint scopes of action and in order to place themselves in the interrelation betweenhistory, presence and future. Images of youth are a projection screen which portrays thedesirable future development of a society and political culture.The thesis explores youth images of two societies before and amid a period of socialchange. Until 1989 Sweden and Poland represented two very different social systems, withdistinct historical ties, present conditions and visionary goals. Those are reconstructed andanalysed through the lense of the dominating youth images of both countries - on the basisof documents as well as cultural works and expressions, which are embedded in the respectivecourses of history.Despite the different structures and conditions of their existence, the youth images of Polandand Sweden and their related projections of future accomplish the same function.Both ensure the continuation or renewal of their political cultures beyond the life span ofa generation.
