Programy Jacka Kaczmarskiego – genologia, charakterystyka, tendencje, media

Abstract

Programmes of Jacek Kaczmarski – Genealogy, Characteristics, Tendencies, Media The article aims at describing the notion of “programme” in the Jacek Kaczmarski’s oeuvre as accurately as possible. The conclusions of Krzysztof Nowak and the category of cyclicality were mentioned in the introduction. Then the author describes forms similar to a programme – amongst others, album and song cycle. Moreover, the author points to the clear distinctiveness of the “programme” in its strict literary sense from the cycles created by the artist. In the next part of the article, the characteristics of said form, such as presence of atypical paratexts or the form fluidity depending on the medium, were characterised. The aforementioned description becomes the starting point for formulating a definition of a literary-musical programme in its narrow meaning and looking closely at the changes that happen in the next cycles of Kaczmarski, as well as the tendencies that accompany them. The observed regularities and the knowledge of the creation contexts of each cycle allow the author to divide the programmes into three groups. The main conclusions resulting from the article are concisely presented in the summary
