Między „ja” a tożsamością kolektywną w tekstach polskich migrantów przebywających w Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii po roku 2004
Between "I" and collective identity in the texts of Polish migrants living in the UK and Ireland after 2004

Summary/Abstract: In this article the problem of self-narration is taken as a biographical trajectory records of the Polish migrants staying after 2004 in the UK and Ireland. In the course of consideration I emphasize: - the types of existential emergencies and the means, function and purpose of their literary representation by the migrants; - the tension between individual identity and collective identity of Polish migration community; - communication strategies undertaken by Polish authors in the context of global social structures. The strategies, in turn, are united more broadly with the issue of ethnic, artistic, imaginative, social, and informational communities – which shape a new type of relationship to the broader official structures or system orders. I stress (after Turner), one of the basic features of communitas – the immanent formulation of the new collective identities and within them the specific identities for an "I". Interference of different communities with different cognitive competence and social roles shapes today an open place for direct exchange of the global, community and individual reasons.
