Kim jesteśmy? Kim będziemy? Poszukiwanie tożsamości emigracyjnej w "My zdies' emigranty" Manueli Gretkowskiej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2011) Boczkowska, Magdalena
The article analyses a novel "My zdies’ emigranty" by Manuela Gretkowska published in 1992. The main focus falls on the problem of émigré identity which the generation that left Poland in 1988 was forced to face. Gretkowska undertakes an attempt to describe her image of political émigré who leads a peculiarly nomadic life. His main features are lack of a permanent address and unwillingness to put down roots. Gretkowska, the author of "Europejka", depicts a variety of emigrant groups with their different ‘émigré identities’. The first one consists of Polish émigrés who long for their homeland and want to return there. The second group unites those who reject their Polish identity and make a symbolic attempt to ‘flush their Polish passport down the Seine River’. The third group consists of nomads who are always ready to pack up, depart and live wherever they like or anywhere their fate places them. The described by Gretkowska Paris episode can also be found in her latest book entitled "Trans". The final paragraphs of the article mention other novels undertaking the subject of contemporary émigrés as well. Here the main focus falls on "Zapiski szwedzkie" from "Własne miejsca" by Katarzyna Tubylewicz. According to the author of the article, Tubylewicz and Gretkowska describe similar observations of the émigré identity of Poles.
Proza Katarzyny Tubylewicz
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Boczkowska, Magdalena
The paper entitled ‘The prose of Katarzyna Tubylewicz’ is dedicated to the co-authoress of the anthology of the short stories 'Jestem mamą – zbiór prawdziwych historii o macierzyństwie', and the authoress of two novels: 'Własne miejsca' (2005) and 'Rówieśniczki' (2014), who some critics would like to see as the reviver of the so-called 'prose of the centre'. The authoress of the article analyses the above-mentioned novels referring to – among other things – a discussion which took place in ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’, and which had been initiated by the famous manifesto entitled ‘Alice Munro would not stand a chance here’. Its authors demand that the literary critics should enter into a dialogue with popular literature and dispose of the misconception that literature written by women is worse. They are also for the revival of 'the prose of the centre', which – in their opinion – since Tokarczuk’s 'Prawiek i inne czasy' has been missing.
