“Nowadays, Writers Go There, Write, or Do Nothing”. House of Creative Work in the Perspective of Literary Geography

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the cultural phenomenon of the House of Creative Work institution in the post-war Poland as demonstrated by the stays of four writers – Miron Białoszewski, Tadeusz Konwicki, Leopold Tyrmand, Marek Hłasko – in one of the Houses, Obory near Warsaw. A comparative analysis of the attitude of these writers towards the institution in question, as well as the transformational nature of the relation between its space and literary material creates a dense network of connections between the place, authors, and texts. The article is part of a research in the field of geopoetics and raises questions about the physical and material space of the House in Obory, its symbolic dimension, and the types of narratives that it evokes. The structure of this article is ordered by the primary functions of the house in Obory and the speech genres corresponding to particular functions according to the geoculturology project by Wasilij Szczukin.
