„Zdarza się raz na milion samobójczych snów” – o ostatnich powieściach Mariusza Sieniewicza

Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

The author of the article discusses new poetics of the novel by Mariusz Sieniewicz to be found in such works as Rebelia, Miasto Szklanych Słoni and Spowiedź Śpiącej Królewny. What plays a decisive role in these works is imagination principles which, according to the author of the article, allows for calling the last novels by Sieniewicz spectroanalyses of contemporaneity. The characters of the works create themselves ghostly versions of reality, thanks to which they maintain the rest of the subjective activity. The very practice, in turn, leads to a gradual regaining of what is closest to an extremely individual experience, that is an every-day life. The consequence of these efforts is a personal metamorphosis (metanoia), a total change in the relationships between the world, and overcoming depressive moods. What the characters take part in is a unique experience of happiness, almost unknown in contemporary culture extorting and regulating happiness. Dans l’article, l’auteur décrit la nouvelle poétique des romans de Mariusz Sieniewicz, présente dans les oeuvres Rebelia, Miasto Szklanych Słoni et Spowiedź Śpiącej Królewny. Dans la composition de ces textes le rôle décisif appartient aux règles d’imagination, ce qui, selon l’auteur de l’article, permet de nommer les derniers romans de Sieniewicz des « spectroanalyses » de la modernité. Les héros des oeuvres se créent des versions spectrales de réalité, grace auxquelles ils gardent les débris d’activité subjective. Cette pratique mène à son tour à une récupération graduelle de ce qui est le plus proche à l’expérience extrêmement individuelle – la vie quotidienne. La conséquence de ces efforts est une transformation personnelle (metanoia), un changement complet de relation avec le monde et le fait de surmonter l’humeur dépressive. La pratique unique du bonheur, presque inconnue dans la culture contemporaine, forçant à la joie et la reglémentant, devient l’expérience des protagonistes.
