Dwaj satyrycy o wyrodnych potomkach zacnych przodków: Krzysztof Opaliński i Adam Naruszewicz
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Both analysed satires, the one from the mid-17th century and the other written one hundred years later, are connected by a relationship of “incompatible compatibility”; after all, their authors presented as reprehensible what they saw differently: whereas Opaliński criticized lower gentry and upper gentry, Naruszewicz criticised only the latter. The most general meaning of both texts is as follows: the idea of nobility and its social practice are usually divergent, and therefore, opposing. Both satirists can be regarded as republicans, yet, this ideological bond is undermined by the radicalism of the descendant of an aristocratic family and moderate democratism of the Pińsk master of the hunt. Les deux satires analysées ici – celle de la moitié du XVIIe siècle et celle publiée cent vingt ans plus tard – sont unies par la relation d’une « concordance discordante » du fait que leurs auteurs présentaient comme répréhensible tout ce qu’ils percevaient différemment : Opaliński critiquait la « noblesse mineure » ainsi que la « noblesse majeure » ; tandis que Naruszewicz critiquait seulement la seconde. On peut présenter l’éloquence la plus générale des deux textes d’une manière suivante : l’idée de noblesse et sa réalisation sociale s’avèrent généralement disjointes, et par conséquent – opposées. On peut dire que les deux satiristes étaient républicains, mais à cette unité idéologique s’opposent le radicalisme du descendant d’une famille de magnats, et le démocratisme modéré du fils d’un maître de chasse de Pinsk.
