Między mężczyznami. Proza Wilhelma Macha – socrealizm psychoanalizą podszyty
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The presentation of the work of the now forgotten writer concentrates on three key issues: Wilhelm Mach’s homosexual biography and the problems arising from it, ambiguity of the categories of masculinity, brotherhood and fatherhood, used by Mach, as well as “family anti-utopias,” whose portrayals can be found in Rdza [Rust] or Jaworowy dom [Sycamore House]. The author attempts to restore Mach’s name as an important figure in the history of the struggles of the Polish modernity with nonnormative sexuality; the writer’s political involvement is read as a consequence of the faith in the emancipatory power of the new order.
