Dziennik Danuty S. jako tożsamościowa gra w klasy
The Diary of Danuta S. as a Class Identity Game

Summary/Abstract: In the 1960s a number of organisations, including the Committee for Research on Modernity at the Polish Academy of Sciences, launched a diary writing competition as part of an extensive sociological research project. Sixteen-year-old Danuta S. submitted a diary that was not published in the anthology Młode pokolenie wsi polski ludowej [The Young Generation of Rural Areas in the Polish People’s Republic]. Nonetheless, Pawlik demonstrates that this diary can be read as a field in which Danuta S. plays an identity game. This game, Pawlik argues, is realized through the diary writer’s practice of recording and transcription. The diary shows components of a literary work, but its literary character is captured as an action aimed at self-identification.
