Summary/Abstract: The article describes the transcultural aspects and affective ways of perceiving the work of Witold Gombrowicz in contemporary Argentina. Source documents (such as the residence card documenting the writer’s arrival to Argentina) as well as pop- -cultural images of the writer in Argentinian culture, visual field, and urban space are investigated. According to Wolfgang Welsch, Gombrowicz’s transculturality is found- ed on placing himself between Polish and Argentinian cultures, based on “artifacts of memory.”
