Osoba i głos: postać w najnowszym polskim dramacie
A Persona and a Voice – Dramatic Character in Recent Polish Drama

Summary/Abstract: The disintegration of character in recent Polish drama is closely related to identity crisis and the ensuing negation of the basis and integrity of one's sense of self. A character can hardly be analysed as a person – more often than not, it resembles a linguistic or textual entity rather than a human being. The persona is replaced by a voice or a polyphonic collective body – a choir. In the dramatic works of contemporary Polish playwrights such as M. Koterski, M. Bieliński, M. Modzelewski, L. Amejko or D. Masłowska these forms can be realized as either a fragmented subject split into aspects that cannot be reconciled, or as the subject's external reality, which they perceive as fragmented, incomprehensible and hostile.
