Czy inna męskość jest możliwa?
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The article is a discussion of the book by Wojciech Śmieja entitled: Hegemonia i trauma. Literatura wobec dominujących fikcji męskości. The author of the article concentrates on highlighting the importance of the Silesian scholar’s publication for Polish studies on masculinity. He describes the historical and theoretical literary framework of the presented work, paying attention to the rich exemplification of the analyzed issues. He also undertakes a discussion with some theoretical assumptions of the book, especially in the context of the implications of Kaja Silverman’s model and draws attention to some of the interpretation problems associated with the use of this theoretical approach. The author, thus, proposes an outline of alternative ways of reading the texts of Jacek Podsiadło and Szczepan Twardoch, pointing to the possibility of shifting the focus from Silverman’s approach of masochism to the issue of specifically understood individuation as the possibility of a different interpretation of the male position – an interpretation which contests the patriarchal social order. Le texte présente le livre de Wojciech Śmieja Hegemonia i trauma. Literatura wobec dominujących fikcji męskości. L’auteur de l’article se concentre sur la mise en évidence de l’importance de la nouvelle publication du chercheur silésien. Il décrit les cadres historiques et théoriques du livre en accentuant une riche exemplification des questions étudiées. Il examine aussi certaines hypothèses théoriques du livre surtout dans le contexte de l’implication du modèle de Kaja Silverman. Il souligne des problèmes d’interprétation liés à l’usage de cette approche théorique. Dans ce but, il propose une lecture alternative des textes de Jacek Podsiadło et Szczepan Twardoch. Il indique la possibilité du décalage du point de la gravité de la conception de masochisme de Silverman aux questions de l’individuation qui permettrait d’interpréter la position de l’homme en contestant le patriarcat de l’ordre social.
