Abstract
The publicists of „Sztuka i Naród” in their declaration of war against war confronted the occupiedreality not only through direct action. They verbalised their struggle with extraordinary intensityin texts which indicated that speech itself was understood as a rising, pulsating stream that wasdriven by the internal energy of the speaking subject. The examination of nationalist journalismof SiN and the intimate notes of Andrzej Trzebiński allow for a reconstruction of a phantasmaticwork of imagination aimed at metaphorical strengthening of the spirit and a proud self-defi nitionin a world engulfed by war. In this context, the articles published in the years 1942–1944 canbe interpreted as a linguistic stream of strong, „masculine” expression, which became a weaponin the irredentism aimed at an attitude of resignation and weakness. The energizing narrativeof SiN leads from a solitary stance to the complete subordination of the material world and itsarrangement according to the ideological-political guidelines of the Confederation of the Nation.This article constitutes a fragment of the doctoral dissertation entitled Idea, słowo, metafora. Wyobraźniapolityczna grupy literackiej „Sztuka i Naród” i ruchu „Zadruga”.
