Abstract

The visual space of postmemory. The poetics of secondary testimony in Tadeusz Rozewicz’s nozyk profesora ( professor’s little knife ) This essay discusses the problem of postmemory and secondary testimony, including their visual and textual manifestations in Tadeusz Rozewicz’s late poem nozyk profesora (2001). The essay deals with theoretical background of the concept of postmemory (according to Marianne Hirsch and Dori Laub) in its psychoanalytical and aesthetical aspects. It focuses on the experimental style and composition of Rozewicz’s poem which combines visual (3 photographs) and textual (or, more precise, intertextual) means of expression to articulate a multilayered and polyphonic secondary Holocaust testimony.
