Rewizje historii i dyskursu kryminologicznego: Kuśniewicz, Terlecki, Rymkiewicz

The article concerns texts which problematize such figures of criminological discourse as crime, perpetrator, victim, interrogator, or the penitentiary system. The works of A. Kuśniewicz, W.L. Terlecki and J.M. Rymkiewicz perform multidimensional revisions: they question traditional thinking about historical truth and the means of reaching it; they trespass the border between literature and fiction; they resist criminological discourse. The writers discussed formulate a diagnosis in many aspects close to that of M. Foucault’s and the new victimology, proving that representations of history as well as mechanisms of social control are discourses of restrictive authority. Korupcja [Corruption], Odpocznij po biegu [Rest after The Race], and Wielki książę [The Grand Duke] respond to such violence with revisions of history as well as the present, thanks to which literature becomes a form of radical hermeneutiThe article concerns texts which problematize such figures of criminological discourse as crime, perpetrator, victim, interrogator, or the penitentiary system.

"Why are you not in the reach of my hand?" : letters - Adam Ziemianin’s literary events

The article deals with Adam Ziemianin’s epistolary poetry (bringing both the subject of letters and imitating their formal qualities), which is discussed as a collection of literary events. Such an interpretation draws attention to the performativity of this writing, that is, its causative function, which results in the actualization of the text through the reader’s personal experience. Therefore, the interpretation here takes into account not only Ziemianin’s poems, but also their popularity as songs performed by the group Stare Dobre Małżeństwo. The most important conclusion presented in this paper focuses on the paradoxes of epistolary poetry: the evocation of both presence and absence, synchrony and asynchrony, combining private with public, as well as merging the literary dimension with real existence. Most of these paradoxes are motivated by the desire to rescue love and overcome death, as indicated by the symbolism of the letter and the well - serving as life-giving mediators

„Sprawy korzenne”. Fenomenologia Zuzanny Ginczanki

The paper concerns Zuzanna Ginczanka’s floristic signatures (trees, flowers and fruits), which are used by the poet to construct literary tropes. It shows how, by means of these signatures, the following oppositions are introduced: life/death, surface/depth, outside/inside, form/substance, phenomenon/essence. The crux of the argument is that in Ginczanka’s poetry there is a conflict concerning the value of phenomenology, i.e. what is really important: the phenomena (trees, flowers, fruits) or the hidden essences („the Questions of Root”)? I go on to argue that the poet’s thinking corresponds to Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy, in which the subject’s experience is considered to be related to his life environment and the philosophy of the body is identified with the phenomenology of perception. Emphasizing „the Questions of Root” in the very title of the paper indicates what is most problematic for Ginczanka and, at the same time, what determines her recognition of poetry as an expression of unattainable desires.The paper concerns Zuzanna Ginczanka’s floristic signatures (trees, flowers and fruits), which are used by the poet to construct literary tropes.

Ironia jako dekonstrukcja umierania w Listach Witolda Wirpszy

This paper focuses on Witold Wirpsza’s Letters from the volume Second Resistance. Poems 1960–1964 (1965) and shows how irony becomes a deconstruction of dying, and at the same time of itself and of literary communication in general. The persiflage-oriented ars moriendi turns out to be a diagnosis directed against the discourses of thanatology, operating in institutions of power, medicine or religion (public letters) and family (private letters). Wirpsza designed it as a play of signs and communication noise in which meanings embedded in surface and deeper semantic levels intersect and contradict each other. This is accomplished by writing about death through epistolary, postal, philatelic tropes, concerning message, mediation and transmission. What are particularly important are the metaliterary parts, parabases intensifying the irony, which contain the vision of a postage  stamp robbery as reality transformed into signs. The interpretation of the Letters reveals that the deconstructive irony makes epistolary poetry a literary event – the letter, writing that is to be stolen, killed, read by the reader in her or his own way.This paper focuses on Witold Wirpsza’s Letters from the volume Second Resistance.

Serdeczne idiomy w listach Wisławy Szymborskiej i Kornela Filipowicza

The correspondence between Wisława Szymborska and Kornel Filipowicz, which has been published in the book Listy. Najlepiej w życiu ma Twój kot (2016), is interpreted in this paper as a love discourse with the use of private idioms. This creates a poetics of the cryptogram, enigmatic to others, yet clear to the correspondents who combine epistolography, applied arts, literature, and life into one whole. The main means of this poetics is the recontextualization in which the writers perform  different roles and move between them. This is related to creating of the text as theatre, which characterizes Szymborska’s poetry in particular as a modern lyric of the mask and role. The violation of the borders between various fields of art and life is done in these letters through collages, stickers, and ready mades that engage not only mind but also body, allowing to hide feelings behind a masquerade, at the same time conveying what is inexpressible.The correspondence between Wisława Szymborska and Kornel Filipowicz, which has been published in the book Listy.

Text as Anastylos. Thing and Body in Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz's Works

Text as Anastylos aims at reconstructing Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz's poetics as well as his worldview. The present author sees them as inseparable orders. The category of anastylos, primarily describing a type of architectonic conservation is used here as a means of presenting the specificity of negative testimony given by Rymkiewicz to various forms of existence, inscribed by him into various genological forms and treated as the integrative factor in the entirety of his discourse. The author claims that the specificity of the negative testimony may be, in general terms, described as an effect of simultanuous identity and nonidentity between the text and the being it reconstructs as well as a presentation of its objects - a thing and a body - as related in an act of their mutual creation.Text as Anastylos aims at reconstructing Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz's poetics as well as his worldview.
