Ile Geneta w Gombrowiczu?
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The review sums up Piotr Seweryn Rosół’s book devoted to the relation between Witold Gombrowicz and Jean Genet. Despite his critical overtone, the author does not explicitly assess Rosół’s book. He argues with the general idea but notices ambitious intentions and interesting interpretations, which prevents him from rejecting the book as such. On the one hand, Rosół’s work bears the hallmarks of Gombrowicz studies truisms, and on the other hand, it renews some interpretations as it suggests that Gombrowicz uses Genet to “outline” the shape of generally avoided issue of homosexuality. Rosół’s book proves that certain way of critical reading of Gombrowicz is no longer valuable and although he attempts to transgress the traditional critical approach, he does it inconsistently. L’article résume le livre de Piotr Seweryn Rosół qui est consacré à la relation entre Witold Gombrowicz et Jean Genet. Malgré sa tonalité critique, l’auteur n’ose pas de récapituler clairement la dissertation de Rosół. Il ne l’approuve pas entièrement mais en même temps, en appréciant son intention ambitieuse et ses interprétations intéressantes il ne sait pas la rejeter sans détour. Le texte de Rosół fait penser aux clichés de l’étude sur Gombrowicz mais simultanément il rafraîchit certaines interprétations en suggérant que Gombrowicz se sert de Genet pour « dessiner » la forme du sujet négligé de la homosexualité. Le livre de Rosół démontre qu’un certain style d’écriture sur Gombrowicz est épuisé et constitue une épreuve probablement pas assez cohérente de transgression de ce modèle et de négation de cette tradition académique.
