From the behavioural economy point of view, the image of a region becomes more and more important. Image has strong influence on forming the demographic situation, at the level of investment attractiveness and some other aspects of competitiveness of a region. Image is mostly important for tourist business development. Throughout the last fifteen years we have developed methods that enable measuring the emotional essence of images with high objectivity and accuracy. First of all, the given methods are intended for studying the most widespread forms of image – verbal and visual ones. Both techniques exist in the form of computer programmes which provide high speed and enable analysing big amounts of initial data. The emotional spectrum of statements of Kraków visitors (on the materials of English language tourist blogs) contains a relatively high share of emotions of grief, fear and anger. It is possible to assume that for tourists from Central and Western Europe, visiting Kraków is emotionally somehow close to visiting Siberia, both are thought of as “East” for them. On the contrary, the emotional essence of advertising materials is strongly shifted towards emotions of interest and pride. The advertising materials devoted to many other tourist magnets of Europe, America or Asia have similar spectrums. As a result, the image of Kraków is deprived of individuality. Uniqueness of the city is not reflected. The narrow and monotonous emotional spectrum of advertising can push away a potential tourist. The emotional maintenance of advertising materials forms quite certain expectations of a potential buyer (tourist). Discrepancy between the emotions promised by advertising and the real experience leaves an impression of deceit, not justified expectations. In a long-term prospect, such advertising inevitably reduces tourist appeal and competitiveness of the region.

Metaphor of the Donbas is the main subject of the analysis in the suggested article. We can ﬁnd it in the texts on the culture, which belong to the period of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The image of this region is formed by three metaphors: industrial, soviet and post-industrial. For today they have lost their function. The process of creating of a new identity is very difﬁcult because of the negation of the stereotypes of the past. It is reﬂected in the contemporary literary texts by Oleksiy Chupa, Oleksandra Ivaniuk, Volodymyr Rafeyenko, Liubov Yakymchuk.

Tematem artykułu jest specyﬁ czna metaforyka Donbasu obecna w tekstach kultury XX oraz XXI wieku. Obraz regionu został ujęty w trzech metaforach: industrialnej, sowieckiej i postindustrialnej (apokaliptycznej), które utraciły swoje znaczenie. Kształtowanie się nowej tożsamości mieszkańców Donbasu okazało się nader trudne z powodu trwałości stereotypów z przeszłości, co doskonale pokazują teksty współczesnej literatury ukraińskiej, m.in. Ołeksandry Iwaniuk, Wołodymyra Raﬁ ejenki, Ołeksija Czupy, Lubow Jakymczuk etc.
