Reception of the poem Anhelli by Juliusz Słowacki in Witold Pruszkowski’s paintings. The article concerns the way in which modernist painter Witold Pruszkowski (1846-1849) drew inspiration from the poem Anhelli (1837), a work of the romantic poet Juliusz Słowacki (1809-1849) treating on the fate of a group of Poles in Siberia, political exiles after the PolishRussian war (1830-1831). The research shows that the painter refers to Anhelli to query about identity, individuality, belonging to the tradition, as well as about the purpose and the sense of art. In Pruszkowski’s paintings the space of the poem becomes a paysage intime, an inner, emotional space. The painter brings out the symbolic potential of the poem and concentrates on imaginative, colourful aspects of the romantic work. The main imaginative themes of his paintings cross the border between the human world and what lays beyond it, referring to such topics as death, ghosts and mysterious landscapes (downs, dusks). The world of the Anhelli poem becomes an integral part of the whole work of Pruszkowski.

Artykuł stanowi propozycję zastosowania negatywnej teorii queer w badaniach nad polskim romantyzmem. Przy użyciu wybranych pojęć teorii queer – Dziecka, reprodukcyjnego futuryzmu oraz queerowej aseksualności – zaproponowano odczytanie „Anhellego” Juliusza Słowackiego jako poematu, w którym odrzucenie przyszłości łączy się z aseksualnością. W tej interpretacji melancholia Anhellego staje się literacką egzemplifikacją wyobcowania z Symbolicznego, pustki pękniętego Lacanowskiego podmiotu, a bohater – negującym przyszłość odmieńcem. Teza artykułu zyskuje potwierdzenie w lekturze dopisanych do poematu zakończeń autorstwa Kornela Ujejskiego i Wacława Gasztowtta, wskazujących na kulturowy opór wobec queerowego wezwania do porzucenia fantazji o stabilności znaczeń, pełni tożsamości i lepszej przyszłości.

The article applies negative queer theory to investigate the Polish Romanticism. Employing selected terms of queer theory, namely the Child, reproductive futurism, and queer asexuality, it interprets Juliusz Słowacki’s “Anhelli” as a poem which links the rejection of future with asexuality. In this reading, Anhelli’s melancholy becomes a literary exemplification of alienation from the Symbolic, emptiness of fractured Lacanian subject, while the title character becomes a future-denying queer outcast. This claim is supported with the analysis of the endings added to “Anhelli” by Kornel Ujejski and by Wacław Gasztowtt, which indicate a cultural resistance towards the queer call to abandon the fantasy of stable meanings, complete identity, and better future.
