W perspektywie Innego. Czytanie opowiadań Irit Amiel w kontekście psychologii międzykulturowej
Point of View of the Other, An Analysis of Stories by Irit Amiel in the Context of Intelectual Psychology

Summary/Abstract: Intercultural psychlogy is a discipline within cultural studies. It is of an interdisciplinary character, combining the philosophy of meeting, imagology, and discourse and becomes the part of the metadiscourse practiced by cultural comparative studies. The article attempts to test the tool in reading Irit Amiel’s stories. The author is an Israeli writer who, in The Seared, deals with the topic of the Holocaust. Her biography – Jewish in origin, with her childhood in Poland, and wandering around Germany and Italy, finally stopping in a Palestinian haven – testifies to her intercultural pedigree. Amiel takes up the subject of the Holocaust after almost fifty years of silence, and she does so by showing different cultural points of view. Intercultural psychology discovers the framework of social behavior in which the characters move. This tool allows us to show that today “being seared” is one of the constitutive features of the Jewish culture.
