Summary/Abstract: The article describes various meanings of the adjective “post-Oedipal,” while trying to stabilize it as an art term in the psychoanalysis of culture. The main tool for reconstructing this concept is a case study: an analysis of Pusty przelot, a novel by Daniel Odija. The familial history of schizophrenia – as presented in the novel – is interpreted as a synecdoche and – at the same time – a metaphor of the current state of the provincial culture, contrasted with the traditional Oedipal patriarchy.
