"…życie jest zbyt poważną sprawą, by mówić o nim poważnie…" Kamp w twórczości pisarzy Bu-Ba-Bu
"... Life is Too Serious a Thing to Talk About it Seriously..." Camp in the Works of the Writers of Bu-Ba-Bu

Summary/Abstract: The proposed text is an attempt to read the works of the writers of Bu-Ba-Bu in the context of the aesthetics of camp. On the basis of selected literary texts and essays of the Bu-Ba-Bu writers set together with Susan Sontag’s and Roland Barthes’ thoughts, the author argues that campy play in kitsch was for Andrukhovych, Irvanets, and Neborak a fundamental literary and artistic strategy, which vividly demonstrated their understanding of postmodern literature. In this context, the author of the article argues that literature in the concept of Bu-Ba-Bu writers should be a sex-ual and sens-ual creation; writing – a strategy of seduction; and a tissue of the text – the topography of forbidden regions, tempting with their prohibition.
