Abstract

Sen srebrny Salomei, or a Phantasm of Colonialism The goal of this paper is to offer an interpretation of Sen srebrny Salomei from perspective of the colonial problems embodied in the text. In my reading, Słowacki’s drama is an example of “phantasmatic colonialism”. My explanation for this phenomena is tied with my reading of Stanisław Brzozowski’s late works. In my opinion, Sen srebrny Salomei should be understood as a drama about an impossible dream of Poland undertaking the colonial endeavour.
