Psychoanalityczne spojrzenie na „Zdarzenia na brygu Banbury” Witolda Gombrowicza
A Psychoanalytical View on Witold Gombrowicz’s “Zdarzenia na brygu Banbury” (“The Events on the Brig of Banbury”)

Summary/Abstract: The article is a psychoanalytical view on Witold Gombrowicz’s short story "Zdarzenia na brygu Banbury" ("The Events on the Brig of Banbury"). The research, based on correlated Sigmund Freud’s and Jacques Lacan’s approaches, shows in what way a text, constructed on the basis of logics of signifiants, remains in constant move, escapes an unambiguous interpretation. The topology of the brig refers to Freud’s concept of psyche, and thus to Lacanian planes which determine a man’s mental construction. Więcek’s studies by no means lead to stabilizing the works of signifiants; they rather offer the reader the experience of Barthes’ “pleasure of reading.”
