The Literary Testimony of an (Over)sensitive Memory: On Janina Kościałkowska’s Łódź Bukowa

Summary/Abstract: The topic of the article is the nature of memory and remembrance in the work of Janina Kościałkowska, a literary artist associated with the Second Emigration, winner of Wiadomości award, and author of stories, plays, and novels. The topics under discussion in this paper are closely connected with the concepts of homeland, locality, and identity. Revisiting the past primarily speaks to the need for self-determination. These issues constitute an important element in Kościałkowska’s works, and embody various forms of literary interpretation while attempting to come to terms with the history and canonical perception of emigration.
