Wschód wyobrażony. Wokół najnowszej prozy Andrzeja Stasiuka
Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2015, Vol 59, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this article is the analysis of the imagined topographies of the East in the works of Andrzej Stasiuk. Territorial imagologies of this writer create a field of interferences between the real and the imagined, conditioned by local perspective. For this reason the image of the East in Stasiuk’s prose includes both the travel experience as well as cultural stereotypes. Consequently, this territorial imagology is the example of the imagined counter-geography, created from an internal point of view, and the writing itself becomes a specific place of memory.<br/><br/>
