Modele "ja" bohatera powieści Sławomira Shutego "Zwał" : rozkład tożsamościowej jedności osoby

Abstract

In her analysis of Sławomir Shuty’s novel Zwał Beata Gontarz concentrated her attention on the collapse of the subjective unity of the main character, who represents all contemporary young people. First person narration in the form of a diary, its autobiographic character and situating a character in the middle of the described reality all draw the readers’ attention to the problematic “I” and encourage them to take a „more anthropologic” look at the visible in the novel traces of contemporary disintegration of the subject. The entanglement of the subject’s “I” into incompatible situations was illustrated in Zwał with three different models of subjectivity: the schizophrenic “I”, the deprived “I” and the estheticized “I”. All the epithets describing “I” were treated descriptively. Finally, the author of the article referred to the observations on the postmodern condition of the individual made by Fredric Jameson, Agata Bielik-Robson and Wolfgang Welsch.
