This is because Świetlicki’s writing expresses the conviction that identity is as much a “positive” identification as (and maybe even chiefly) an identification done with regard to or through someone or something else. As a result of the constantly recurring necessity and need to distinguishing oneself, the woman seems to be both the condition and determinant of the “I” in Świetlicki’s Jeden.}, doi = {10.4467/23531991KK.17.006.7271}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/konteksty-kultury/article/jeden-przez-dwa-zostalo-podzielone-kobieta-jako-inny-w-jeden-marcina-swietlickiego} }
