It can be claimed that modern European musical culture contributed to the crystalliza-tion and dissemination of a certain stereotype of a Gypsy person, and contributed to the creation of the highly romanticised Gypsy myth. The author of the paper – Anna G. Piotrowska, shows how 19th century operas, operettas or instrumental works helped to propagate the image of the stereotyped Gypsy, and ventures to prove that also pop music heavily draws on the same stereotype. Of special interest for her is Polish 20th and 21st century situation where conventionalized picture of Gypsies was conveyed and even a subgenre called Gypsy disco polo emerged. The author summarizes her observations by defining these specific features attributed to the widely understood ‘Gypsyness’ that assure its popularity in the realm of musical culture.

Anna Gryglaszewska in the article Mexico haunted by history (“Las paredes hablan” by Carmen Boullosa) offers an analysis of historiographical meta-novel written by a contemporary Latin American writer. Carmen Boullosa, using the theme of haunting of the present by the past, returns to some dramatic events in the history of her homeland which had a huge impact on the lives of many generations of her compatriots. The beginning of the Mexican’s war for the independence from Spain and the bloody and full of victims revolution of 1910 are, without a doubt, the facts that have shaped the Mexican identity. Boullosa, telling the story of an impossible love three times, reinterpretated of these events, making them an important background for the action of heroes of this novel. Gryglaszewska, analyzing the novel, argues that the myth, understood by Mircea Eliade as a story rooted in the collective unconscious of humanity, serves as a base for Boullosa’s fiction pivoted around the history of Mexico. According to the Aztec mythology, gods, so that the world could exist, demand human blood. This is the reason why the bloody history of the writer’s homeland is marked by the stigma of suffering.

The aim of this article is to analyze two literary works of the Silver Age that are the poetic interpretation of Carmen story: the poem Carmen by A. Blok and the verse “Carmen” by I. Severyanin. Analyzing both literary works we pointed on different motives from the novel by Merimee and the opera by Bizet. We noticed that Blok and Severyanin not only simply had used well known situations but also had proposed their own interpretation of Carmen based on the intersemiotic relationship between literature, music and opera art.
