Solidarność niemożliwa „Squaring the Circle” Toma Stopparda
Impossible Solidarity – Squaring the Circle by Tom Stoppard

Summary/Abstract: Schreiber's text concerns a film based on Tom Stoppard's Squaring the Circle screenplay, whose action takes place during the "Solidarity carnival.” The author examines this manner of seeing issues in Poland and the Poles, by people outside of the country and culture where the events in the film occur. The text analyzes the stereotypical, even phantasmatic image of Eastern Europe seen through the eyes of Western neighbors. This process exemplifies an age-old phenomenon known as "literary colonization."
