Monday 12 December 2011 at 5 pm


In his In the Night, Brzozowski uncompromisingly revises not only the romantic tradition, but also concepts of art and the author. He turns out to be a precursor of a particular approach to the shaping of the consciousness and subjectivity within the area of art and creativity. That is why Voices – reflective essays on European romanticism, the goals of literary criticism and literature itself – help us to identify the ways in which the individual emerges – faced with and in opposition to history, society and contemporaneity. We can see how, within a certain narrative, the narrator reveals himself as well as the person that is the subject of the narrative.
