„Rozhisteryzowany swoją niemocą” – męskość w twórczości Tadeusza Konwickiego (na podstawie Sennika współczesnego)
“Rendered Hysterical by His Own Powerlessness”: Masculinity in Tadeusz Konwicki’s A Dreambook for Our Time

Summary/Abstract: Wróbel’s analysis of representations of masculinity in Tadeusz Konwicki’s prose focuses on the ways in which World War II shaped masculinity as an experience. A key feature of Konwicki’s poetics is what Wróbel calls “hysterics” – an excess of emotion that relates to an inability to find one’s bearings in postwar reality. The key to Konwiczki’s prose works is the fact that male characters are dispossessed, not so much of their traditional roles, but of their initiation into masculinity and maturity.
