This article examines the possibility of using concepts from the scope of poetics and rhetoric for the purpose of description of a literary text which deals with labour camp experience. The book "Day and Night" by Leo Lipski may serve as an example to bring out a similar perspective which has no essentialist presumptions but rather presumes that such concepts as, i.e. laconism and parataxis are useful to describe the properties of a text which, in turn, is a result of a specific mode of reading. Consequently, the process of the text being revealed can be described on the basis of selected concepts from the tradition of poetics and rhetoric. As a result, it appears that concepts from the scope of poetics and rhetoric – at least partly and on the basis of specific terms – do not belong to the past but still can be applied in the analysis of texts as well as in literary communication.

W niniejszym artykule badam możliwość wykorzystania pojęć z zakresu poetyki oraz retoryki do opisu tekstu literackiego traktującego o doświadczeniu łagrowym. Na przykładzie książki Dzień i noc Leo Lipskiego pragnę uwydatnić podobną perspektywę, która już nie wychodzi z esencjalistycznych założeń, ale raczej zakłada, że takie pojęcia, jak np. lakoniczność i parataksa nadają się do opisania właściwości tekstu, który z kolei jest wynikiem określonego trybu lektury. Proces ujawniania się tekstu opisać więc można na podstawie wybranych pojęć z tradycji poetyki oraz retoryki. W ten sposób okazuje się, że pojęcia z zakresu poetyki i retoryki – przynajmniej częściowo i na przykładzie określonych terminów – nie są zjawiskiem przebrzmiałym, lecz nadal mają swoje zastosowanie przy analizie tekstów, jak również w komunikacji literackiej.

This article deals with the relationship between Puškin and Mickiewcz and focuses on the literary polemic they were engaged in. The paper proposes a rereading of two key texts (Dziady, part III and Miednyj vsadnik) and refers in that respect to the postcolonial concept of “in-betweenness” (Bhabha). The term “in-betweenness” is applied in order to describe the al-ternative positions of the two authors in regard to autocracy: Whereas in Dziady, part III (espe-cially in Ustęp), literary writing contests imperial rule, Puškin’s Miednyj vsadnik responds to Mickiewicz’s severe criticism of Russian autocracy by evoking the mere necessity of auto-cratic rule which is justified by the lack of any alternative force in Russian history. But in both texts the writer’s position is suspended and instable: each text reveals the “in-betweenness” of literary discourse in the face of autocracy.

This paper deals with Gombrowicz’s novel Pornografia which can be interpreted as a third space where different literary discourses and philosophical concepts are interwoven. In this respect two German authors deserve special attention: Thomas Mann and Friedrich Nietzsche. It is the aim of this article to show to what extent Gombrowicz refers to the writings of these two authors in his attempt to establish himself as an important writer during his exile in Argentina. The novel Pornografia works in this respect as a sphere of interferences and a space of emerging hybridity, where Gombrowicz creates a special textuality consisting of hidden references to and even polemic with both Mann and Nietzsche. The notion of conflict is thus applicable in the description of Gombrowicz’s literary practice in this novel.

This article explores Rzewuski’s Pamiątki Soplicy (Soplica’s Memoirs) based on a key concept of postcolonial studies such as inbetweenness (Bhabha) as well as on approaches to “cultural memory” (Aleida and Jan Assmann). The way Rzewuski depicts the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is linked to the problem of cultural self-description in a colonial context, where domination encompasses political as well as cultural aspects. In the Pamiątki Soplicy emerges a particular „memory culture” with its own forms of reference to the past. Close attention is paid to the fact that Rzewuski created Seweryn Soplica as narrator and main hero of the gawęda-like stories collected in the Pamiątki, but refrained from commenting the autobiographical sketches that cover a wide range of disparate events of the second half of the 18th century. The author’s – Rzewuski’s – position in the aftermath of the partitions of Poland is a blind spot that indicates the challenge arising from the fact that a proper self-positioning against the background of the historical events has still to be developed and needs new forms of discourse, not comparable to hitherto known ways of representing the past. The double-layered narrative (Soplica – Rzewuski) is an expression of the basic problem how to find an autonomous self-description of past events under completely new circumstances, caused by the destruction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and is related to the search of new vocabularies of self-description. Both questions refer to crucial matters of contemporary postcolonial studies. Therefore the article attempts to offer a starting point for further study of Polish romantic culture on the ground that postcolonial studies have opened up.

This paper deals with Gombrowicz’s novel Pornografia which is interpreted as a third space where different literary discourses and philosophical concepts are interwoven. Of a special interest are in this respect two German authors: Thomas Mann and Friedrich Nietzsche. It is the aim of this article to show, to what extent Gombrowicz refers to writings of these two authors in his attempt to establish himself as an important writer in the conditions of his exile in Argentina. The novel Pornografia works in this respect as sphere of interferences and space of emerging hybridity, where Gombrowicz is creating a special textuality consisting of hidden references to and even polemics with Mann and Nietzsche, respectively. The notion of conflict is thus applicable in the description of the literary practice Gombrowicz resorts to in writing his novel.

This paper deals with Lem’s Fables for Robots and sheds some light on the genological interplay between science fiction and fairy tale. Its aim is to show to what extent a key feature of fairy tales like magic is transformed within the framework of science fiction. Lem depicts peculiarities of technological civilisation (Gotthard Günther). By referring to the fairy tale Lem draws the attention to the non-technological background in this civilisation, namely the desires and aspirations on which technologies as well as social order are based on. In this interconnection of desire and technology lies the core of Lem’s literary synthesis of fairy tale and science fiction. This synthesis is contextualised on the basis of Lem’s own theoretical works, related discussions of magic in technology (Norbert Wiener, Arthur C. Clarke), and Max Horkheimer’s critical reassessment of modern rationality.

PL

Artykuł traktuje o Bajkach robotów i rzuca światło na wzajemne oddziaływanie fantastyki naukowej i bajki, jednocześnie zamierza pokazać, do jakiego stopnia cecha tak charakterystyczna dla bajki jak magia została przerobiona w ramach fantastyki naukowej. Lem przedstawia osobliwości cywilizacji technologicznej (Gotthard Günther). Nawiązując to bajki Lem zwraca uwagę na nietechnologiczne tło tejże cywilizacji, a mianowicie pragnienia oraz intencje, które leżą u podstaw zarówno technologii jak i porządku społecznemu. W połączeniu pragnienia i technologii tkwi sęk w lemowskiej literackiej syntezy bajki z fantastyką naukową. Synteza ta jest skontekstualizowana na podstawie utworów teoretycznych Lema, związanych z nimi dyskusji dotyczących magii w technologii (Norbert Wiener, Arthur C. Clarke) oraz krytyki racjonalności nowoczesnej przez Maxa Horkheimera.
