Tadeusz Różewicz had created the myth of childhood in his work, especially in later years. This myth is based on several assumptions. First, that a poet is someone who has a special relationship with his mother throughout his life (the poet’s mother was a Jewish convert to Catholicism). Second, that childhood is a source to which one must return in order for poetry to exist in a world that no longer has values after the war and the Holocaust. Third, that childhood is a time of innocence in which one cannot distinguish between good and evil. In contrast to these assumptions, the author of the article argues that – first of all – the relationship with the mother has the other side, namely the relationship between father and son. Różewicz enters it as a son and as a father of his own two sons. Second, that there is no return to childhood, it is above the order of time, and this space above time is not the order of myth, but of trauma. Thirdly, Różewicz’s childhood is internally marked by the experience of evil – childhood is not innocent.

Jan Błoński – idiosynkrazje

Jan Błoński – idiosyncrasies

Jan Błoński, the great Polish literary critic, sometimes loses his insightfulness. He rejects, refuses and denies understanding. This concerns mainly the writers who he does not like or appreciate enough. From time to time he seems to be remarkably one-sided when it regards most important authors for him as well. Skrendo finds the reasons of this particular behavior idiosyncratic. How they collide with his greatness and how they build it – may be found in this article.

The subject of the article is the problem of laughter and the related phenomena in the work of Tadeusz Różewicz. The problem is considered in a broad theoretical context. The aim of the article is to develop a concept in which two pictures of Różewicz will be reconciled: the poet of trauma as well as the satirist and the comedy writer.

An exit from the humanities
The subject of this article is ‘Polityka wrażliwości. Wprowadzenie do humanistyki/The Politics of Sensibility: An Introduction to the Humanities’ (Kraków 2013) by Michał Paweł Markowski. The author of the review looks into the causes of the crisis in humanistic studies and the issue of scientification in literature studies. He oppose to the statement that humanistic studies is not, and should not be, science. He ascertains that in modern university, the fate of literature researchers depends on their ability to re-justify scientific status of humanistic studies.
