Poza postmodernizm. Jacek Dukaj i spór o uniwersalia
Journal Title: Prace Literaturoznawcze - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The latest Polish literary criticism Jacek Dukaj stands as one of the most original contemporary writers of science fiction. Announced the successor to Lem, the author claims to be the creator of the mainstream literature. Although the work of Dukaj is one of the finest examples of literary postmodernism, the author smuggles under the mantle of species mosaic synthesis of sociological and anthropological studies. The most important themes of works of Jacek Dukaj are therefore issues of responsible for their own actions, inability to communicate with the alien, unchanging categories of strength and power, domination of stronger regardless of the degree of development of society. From the fictional worlds emerges synthetic view of human nature caught in the web of political and economic intrigue, seeking religious revelation in technicized world.
