Description
Summary:The trend of minor literatures, defined by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, took up a special place in contemporary literary research. The particular social status of the creator determines within them a wide range of modifications to the fabrics of language, poetics and composition. It is also responsible for the development of a unique philosophical background, adapted to representing the voice of the minority. From the researchers’ point of view, Franz Kafka became the model writer of this movement: a Jew from Prague, writing in German. The author of the article presents an outline of research into the aspects of minor-ness in the work of Zygmunt Krzyżanowski – a Russian writer with a Polish background, one of the most interesting representatives of post-symbolism, whose writings, for political reasons, were only discovered at the time of the perestroika. The issues discussed (Krzyżanowski’s social status, his strategy of constructing descriptions of space, the role of sound in his artistic vision) constitute an introduction to further studies on minority poetics and philosophical concepts present in his prose.
