Summary/Abstract: The author analyses and interprets selected prose and dramatic works of Marian Pankowski in reference to areas of contemporary humanities: Holocaust studies, trauma studies, gender studies, memory studies and animal studies. She draws attention to Pankowski’s concentration camp experience. The author addresses themes most often explored in Pankowski’s works: the Holocaust, the writer’s attitude toward the body and corporeality, his obscene aesthetics and his Gombrowicz-like distance toward the national myths.
