O pisaniu wierszy z ironicznym uśmiechem : "O groźbie wszechpolucji atramentem" i "Niedziela w supermarkecie"

Abstract

Summa r y The paper discusses two of Andrzej Busza’s poems: O groźbie wszechpolucji atramentem and Niedziela w supermarkecie. Both poems reflect critically on the crises of contemporary civilization and the consequences in the cultural, existential and intellectual spheres, and give them an ironic and humorous spin. The attitude of the poems is detached, objective and ambiguous. The juxtaposition of the social imaginaries of modernity (the culture of the super-market, the painful sense of acceleration, proteophilia [Bauman], the feeling of being lost in the world of consumerism) with timeless values (tradition of culture) underlies Busza’s irony, and underscores his sensitivity and ethical concern for the modern human condition.
