The oneiric anticipation of Kornel Filipowicz

Summary/Abstract: Kornel Filipowicz’s short writing forms are frequently oneiric in nature; factual accountsof dreams. An example is a short story written toward the end of the 1970s titled Gdyprzychodzą we śnie (“When in dream they come”). It is a prophetic vision of a peculiarmeeting, whereby the sympathising and merciful narrator invites a group of Afro-Asianrefugees to his abode. The visitors promptly proliferate, eventually ruining the hospitablehome and taking the host captive.The short description of a nightmare contains transparent anticipative visions ofthe contemporary migration crisis currently plaguing Western Europe, together withpositing acculturation as the main concern of multicultural societies. Of particular noteis the author’s idea of colonising Western man through Christian-based sympathy andtolerance, which not only breeds gratitude, but also turn against the benefactors.
