Ukryć się w pugilaresie. Praktyki pisania Ignacego Domeyki
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The article by Beata Mytych-Forajter treats about works written by Mickiewicz’s friend, a geologist, and mining engineer who was very successful in Chile, South-America. Texts by Domeyko, located at the borderline of various forms and genres (a journal, diary, journey report), are, above all, connected with the need to note down oneself, leave an existential mark behind, and transform experiences into a notation. A strange author’s talentless writing who did not leave his portable wallet, serving the purpose of the shelter for thoughts, for the most of his life, but also a miniaturized ersatz of house is related to this identity project. L’article de Beata Mytych-Forajter traite de l’écriture de l’ami de Mickiewicz, géologue, ingénieur des mines, qui a remporté un grand succès au Chili sudaméricain. Les textes de Domeyko se situent à la frontière de genres et de formes différentes (journal, mémoires, relation de voyage) se lient avant tout avec le besoin de s’écrire, de laisser une trace existentielle, de transformer des expériences en une transcription. A cette approche identitaire s’attache une étrange graphomanie de l’auteur, qui pendant une grande partie de sa vie ne quittait jamais un portefeuille, lui servant d’abri pour les pensées mais également d’un substitut de maison en miniature.
