This article deals with the images of Slavic cultural space in north-western Europe presented in Stanislaw Pestka’s works written in the Kashubian language. His poetic descriptions, reflect the profound relations between Kashubian tradition and north-western Slavic culture. They mainly present the struggle for cultural identity, similar in both cultures. In contemporary Europe, both Kashubs and Polabs are minorities facing the threat of extinction, subjected to numerous factors of acculturation and assimilation. The only chance for the salvation of the Kashubs is to counteract the cultural processes which resulted in the cultural dependence of the Slavic inhabitants of Lusatia, Mecklenburg and Pomerania on militarily and economically stronger neighbours.

The subject of this article is the problem of the imagined geography of the nineteenth century Europe in the Polish writing under the partitions in the period between uprisings. A distinction on the Europe of places and the Europe of spaces is the basic proposition of this paper.The Polish authors focused on the specific places – towns, monuments, museum, souvenirs and nature strangeness when they described the Western. They imagined this part of Europe as the collection of places. The spaces were only the complement of this image. The Eastern and North parts of Europe were described differently. The authors rarer referred to particular places. While writing about Volyn, Podolia or Ukraine the Polish authors depicted rampant and vast steppes. Similarly, they depicted the forest landscapes while they writing about Polesia and Lithuania. They perceived the extreme North as rocky and glacial spaces.

Artykuł jest próbą odczytania twórczości Leo Lipskiego (inaczej niż robiono to dotychczas) poprzez kategorie przestrzenne i narzędzia geopoetyki. Wskazuje na istotną ewolucję, jaka dokonywała się w tym pisarstwie, polegającą na odejściu od penetrowania doświadczeń wewnętrznych ku geograficznym dominantom organizującym sensy kolejnych dzieł. Odwołując się do pojęć wprowadzonych wcześniej przez badaczy w innym kontekście (Małgorzaty Czermińskiej „miejsce autobiograficzne” i Edwarda Saida „geografia wyobrażona”), proponuje uzupełnienie taksonomii pierwszego z nich o kategorię „miejsca traumatycznego”, w przypadku zaś drugiego wskazuje na możliwość innych zastosowań. W prozie Lipskiego geografia wyobrażona manifestuje się bowiem poprzez kreację „miejsca wyobrażonego uprawdopodobnionego”. Kategorie te pozwalają także widzieć prozę Lipskiego jako szczególny przypadek literatury wygnańców.

The article is an attempt to read the works of Leo Lipski (unlike until now) through spatial categories and geopoetical tools. It points out to the significant evolution taking place in this writing, which consisted in moving away from penetrating internal experiences to geographic dominants organising the meanings of subsequent works. Referring to the concepts previously introduced by researchers in different contexts (Małgorzata Czermińska “autobiographical site” and Edward Said “imagined geography”), the author proposes supplementing the taxonomy of the former with a category of “traumatic place”, while in the case of the latter he indicates the potential of employing other sets of applicability. In Lipski’s prose, the imagined geography manifests itself through the creation of a “place imagined as probable”. These categories also allow Lipski’s prose to be seen as a special case of literature of the exiled.
