Pejzaże pamięci” jako dialog Agaty Tuszyńskiej i Isaaca Bashevisa Singera
The article analyzes Agata Tuszyńska’s Lost Landscapes: In Search of Isaac Bashevis Singer and the Jews of Poland (Singer. Pejzaże pamięci) and Familial History of Fear (Rodzinna historia lęku), in which landscape becomes a space of dialogue with the work of Isaac Bashevis Singer and a literary attempt to inscribe a private history. Intertextual references to Singer’s works serve not merely a stylistic function, but become a tool of affective par…
Joseph Conrad, Ewa Kuryluk and “The Places of Transition”
This article aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on revitalizing modernist sensibilities in contemporary literature and art. Through an analysis of the prose of Ewa Kuryluk, a Polish and Anglophone writer, I examine how her intertextual engagement with Joseph Conrad allows her to navigate her dual national and artistic identity. Kuryluk’s reinterpretation of Conrad’s literary imagery, such as his use of the sunset motif, exemplifies a mod…
Backwoods of Language. The Modernist Prose of Djuna Barnes in Polish Translation
Only eighty years after the original publication of Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood was the Polish literary market enriched by a translation of one of the strangest novels of Euro- American modernism. Marcin Szuster’s translation, with the Polish title Ostępy nocy, has already garnered praise as well as prizes, leading to the first Polish discussion concerning the work of the eccentric American writer. The focus of this article is to analyze the Polish …
Transgression and tenderness. Olga Tokarczuk in Comparative Perspective
The article is a review of the recently published by Routledge anthology Olga Tokarczuk. Comparative Perspectives, edited by Lidia Wisniewska and Jakub Lipski. As the first alngo-language monograph on Tokarczuk, supported by a concrete methodological proposal, it finds a significant place in the international discourse of the author. In the Polish literary discourse, which has been divided, it also opens new interpretative paths. The authors of t…
Intertextuality and Homosexuality in Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home
This article is an interpretative analysis of the comic book Fun Home by Alison Bechdel with particular attention to the intertextual play with the book In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. The author of the comic uses a modernist writer's imagery to create – both in the graphics and the text – a platform for communication with her own father, Bruce. Thus, the mediated language of metonymy, the figures of Thanatos, Eros, floral motifs, become…

Case study (studium przypadku)
Artykuł stanowi opracowanie hasła case study (studium przypadku) ze zwróceniem uwagi na historię terminu i jego transdyscyplinarne zastosowanie: wychodząc od medycyny i socjologii, przez prawo, psychiatrię, psychologię i seksuologię, kończąc na literaturoznawstwie. Autorka stara się zarysować rozróżnienie między studium przypadku jako formą gatunkową (Brigit Lang, Joy Damousi, Alison Lewis, Yiannis Gabriel) a studium przypadku jako strategią bada…
Intymna obcość. Figura matki w powieści Frascati Ewy Kuryluk
The article examines a mother-daughter relationship in Ewa Kuryluk’s autobiographical novel Frascati using the term “strangeness” as a methodological tool. Maria Kuryluk (Miriam Kohany), a Holocoaust survivor, who keeps her real Jewish identity as well as her pre-war life secret from her progeny, is partly a “stranger” – using Julia Kristeva’s term – in biography of her daughter. As a Jewish woman, a wife of the high-ranking socialist in the comm…
