Literackie podróże, czyli o przestrzeni i miejscu w literaturze polskiej przełomu XX i XXI wieku (na przykładzie poezji Adama Zagajewskiego i prozy Andrzeja Stasiuka)
Literary travels: about space and place in Polish literature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries (as seen in the poetry of Adam Zagajewski and the prose of Andrzej Stasiuk)

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problems of identity, poetics of place, migration and travel in Adam Zagajewski’s poetry, in the volumes: Going to Lvov (London 1985) and The Land of Fire (Poznań 1994); as well as in Andrzej Stasiuk’s prose: the short story Place (Tales of Galicia, Kraków 1995) and the novel The East (Wołowiec 2014). The author, in invoking selected texts by the above artists, presents ways of portraying space in Polish literature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, marked by the experiences of migration and communism. This analytical and interpretative study also includes remarks concerning the organisation of the teaching process, as the works discussed here may be used as inspiration for discussions related to migration processes and multiculturalism during Polish language lessons at high school levels.
