Nasz dramat erotyczny Witolda Gombrowicza — „europejskość” na sprzedaż

Abstract

NASZ DRAMAT EROTYCZNY BY WITOLD GOMBROWICZ: ‘EUROPEANNESS’ ON SALE The essay is an analysis of a serious of newspaper articles written by Witold Gombrowicz in the 1940s in Argentina, which were later published in a volume entitled Nasz dramat erotyczny [Our Erotic Drama]. The idea of collective identity and the changing patterns of its construction are key to the analysis. The writer’s individual projects prove useful in the contemporary analysis of wartime texts by Gombrowicz, as they highlight the specificity of various elements of European and South American cultural identities, which are often contradictory.
