Sylwia Chutnik, czyli kobieta w mieście

Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

The writings of Sylwia Chutnik are mainly interpreted from the two perspectives: gender and urban (Warsaw). These two perspectives are intertwined in her novels, starting from her very first Kieszonkowy atlas kobiet and continuing till her most recent collection of short stories W krainie czarów, thus giving her prose specific, seditious, and emergency character. This article attempts at firstly, showing Chutnik’s writing as a creative (and increasingly interesting, vide Cwaniary) way of developing fundamental beliefs and problems, narrative and plot structure devices, and literary patterns already used (if only in embryonic form) in the four stories of her first book. Secondly, the article attempts at presenting the literary intertextual background of this prose – exceptionally rich, conscious and… effective L’oeuvre de Sylwia Chutnik est perçue avant tout dans deux contextes : genriste et municipal (varsovien). Les deux perspectives s’entrelacent dans ses romans – du premier ouvrage Kieszonkowy atlas kobiet jusqu’au dernier recueil de récits W krainie czarów – et déterminent un caractère spécifique, séditieux et interventionnel de cette littérature. Premièrement, on a essayé de présenter l’écriture de Chutnik comme un développement créatif (de plus en plus intéressant, voir Cwaniary de ses convictions et problèmes essentiels, de ses procédés narratifs et ceux d’affabulation, ainsi que de ses modèles littéraires visibles déjà (au moins à l’état embryonnaire) dans quatre récits de son premier roman ; deuxièmement, on a essayé de présenter l’arrière-plan littéraire et intertextuel de cette prose – exceptionnellement riche, conscient et… efficace.
