Witkacy’s Oeuvre and Mass Culture in the Interwar Period

Abstracts

EN

The aim of this paper is to consider the relationship between the work of S. I. Witkiewicz and mass culture. First, I analyse Witkacy’s photography and paintings. Then, I focus on the connections between his dramas and novels, and cinematography. The idea is to reveal the author’s ambiguous attitude towards mass culture. I refer to Witkacy’s philosophical and aesthetic writings. References to Polish mass culture of the interwar period are also included. The bibliographical basis of the study contains works of such authors as Janusz Degler, Katarzyna Taras and Daniel C. Gerould.
