Abstract

“Revolt Gets Sensitised”. Katarzyna Kuczyńska‑Koschany: „Все поэты жиды”. Antytotalitarne gesty poetyckie i kreacyjne wobec Zagłady oraz innych doświadczeń granicznych. Poznań, Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2013, ss. 360. This text provides an overview of questions presented in Katarzyna Kuczyńska‑Koschany’s book, which are connected to the possibility of a literary conceptualization of the gesture ofresistance. The reviewer notes the exceptional character of the text, whose author explores the margins of literature of the Shoah via the deconstruction of the canon. Appreciating the author’sconception, the reviewer presents three parts of her work, simultaneously accentuating the last part, comprising micrological analytical‑interpretative studies; this part reveals the practical use of the eponymous category in life and works of prominent Polish poets, whose witnessing to the  Shoah is based on the ethics of memory. The reviewer stresses the role of “anti‑totalitarian poetic and creational gestures” discussed in Kuczyńska‑Koschany’s book and points to the approach of the author, who stands for the personalized reading of the legacy of the Shoah
