Summary/Abstract: Kobyłecka-Piwońska discusses Argentinian interpretations of Gombrowicz’s work that refer to notions of posing. She begins by outlining the history of simulation as an illness and as a strategy of assimilation applied by immigrants in Argentina. Next she analyses passages in the Diary, using the notion of the pose as an attitude to life and as a narrative strategy. The article concludes with an analysis of Gombrowicz’s Wędrówki po Argentynie[Travels in Argentina], where both Polish and Argentine nationality, presented throughthe lens of exotism, appear as a pose.
