Despite J.M. Coetzee’s ostensible interest in the issues of - largely speaking - visuality, the links between Coetzee’s oeuvre and ‘images’ have not been sufficiently explored either by art or literary critics. The paper offers a detailed discussion of the cooperation between Coetzee and the Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere which has so far resulted in one installation and two art books co-authored by Coetzee and De Bruyckere. Special attention will be paid to the piece “Cripplewood/Kreupelhout” shown in the Belgian Pavilion of the 2013 Venice Biennial and the catalogue published in its wake. Also, a number of questions related to the nature of Coetzee’s contribution to both projects, the role of a curator and his relationship with the artist, as well as the catalogue’s generic affiliation and its position in Coetzee’s body of works are thoroughly addressed.

The present foreword refers to the address delivered by J.M. Coetzee on the occasion of conferring upon him by the University of Silesia the doctor honoris causa degree. Particular attention is paid to his thoughts on the role of English in the world of today. The author of the foreword shows that reflection on language in general and its role in moulding one’s identity in present in the Nobel laureate’s works, including his most recent novels. Further into the foreword, the author briefly discusses text reprinted in Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne: the already mentioned address by J.M. Coetzee, the conversation with the Author, and an article devoted to his works written by Robert Kusek.

A conversation with J.M. Coetzee, carried out in the July of 2019 via mail, touches upon such topics as the learning and teaching processes, the teacher‒student and the writer‒reader relations, as well as the notions of “death” and “alive [way of] reading,” the influence of Polish literature (in particular the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert) on the Nobel laureate’s works, and the Anna Wierzbicka’a concept of natural semantic meta-language.

Artykuł omawia genologiczne aspekty południowoafrykańskiej powieści farmerskiej (plaasroman), ze wskazaniem na aktualne odczytania tego gatunku w nurcie współczesnej prozy postkolonialnej. Tradycyjna plaasroman realizowała wartości typowe dla nacjonalizmu, rasizmu i patriarchalizmu, które z jednej strony ukonstytuowały poczucie przynależności narodowej Burów, z drugiej zaś legły u podstaw usankcjonowanego później systemu segregacji rasowej. Z tego powodu podstawowy schemat fabularny plaasroman stał się obiektem ironicznych reinterpretacji pisarzy kontestujących system kolonialny, jak ma to miejsce w omówionych w pracy powieściach: Życie i czasy Michaela K. J. M. Coetzeego, Trawa śpiewa Doris Lessing oraz Zachować swój świat Nadine Gordimer.

The article contains a generic analysis of a traditional South African farm novel (plaasroman) including current reception of this genre within contemporary post-colonial fiction. A classic plaasroman was based on social values such as nationalism, racism and patriarchalism, which constituted a sense of national identity of the Boers, but also became the basis of the institutionalized racial discrimination. For this reason, the main narrative theme of plaasroman has been critically rewritten by the writers who contested colonial authority. These reinterpretations are being discussed based on three examples — Life and Times of Michael K. by J. M. Coetzee, The grass is singing by Doris Lessing and The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer.
