Barbara Barysz – „Like prophet, like listener”. Political thought of Adam Mickiewicz in contemporary Polish literature
„Like prophet, like listener” – wrote Adam Mickiewicz in his poem “Ekskuza,” perhaps sensing the ambivalent role he would play in his own country in the future. The lecture will focus on the presence of his political thought in contemporary Polish literature. By analyzing Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s “Kinderszenen” and Olga Tokarczuk’s “Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych” (“Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead”), it will be shown how the contradictory yet coexisting themes of Mickiewicz’s reflection – nationalism and internationalism – find different literary incarnations today, reflecting deep political divisions of contemporary Poland.
