The article focuses on pointing out the functions of using animation technique and elements of the science fiction genre in Ari Folman’s The Congress from 2013. The film, which is loosely based on the short story The Futurological Congress by Stanisław Lem, balances on the edge of various genres, using the techniques of both live action film and computer animation. Folman proposes a glamorous, colorful vision of an (anti)utopian future, in which pharmacologically-modified cyborg-people participate in a collective hallucination, which is an alternative reality to the post-apocalyptic real world. The director makes several significant changes to the original, thanks to which he introduces a universal message and asks questions which seem far more relevant in the context of both contemporary culture and the environmental crisis that can no longer be ignored (although the issue of an impending natural disaster was also important in Lem’s works).

This article is a review of Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen’s book Scandinavian Crime Fiction. The author takes a firmly critical position towards the welfare state in practice and as an idea. He demonstrates that it is the consequence of the rampantly developing capitalist system and merely intensifies class differences rather than effacing them. Stougaard-Nielsen analyzes examples of Scandinavian crime fiction from both literature and television and presents them in their expansive cultural and economic contexts. The author identifies crime fiction’s capacity to reflect the identity crisis of Scandinavian society and in so doing, expose the idea of the welfare state as a false narrative.

Artykuł jest recenzją książki Scandinavian Crime Fiction autorstwa Jakoba Stougaarda-Nielsena. Autor przejawia zdecydowanie krytyczną postawę zarówno wobec samej idei państwa opiekuńczego, jak i wobec jej realizacji. Udowadnia, że jest ona wynikiem prężnie rozwijającego się systemu kapitalistycznego i podkreśla jedynie różnice klasowe, zamiast je zacierać. Stougaard-Nielsen analizuje literackie i serialowe przykłady gatunku skandynawskiego kryminału, osadzając je w szerszym – kulturowym i ekonomicznym kontekście. Autor doszukuje się w fikcji kryminalnej odbicia kryzysu tożsamości skandynawskiego społeczeństwa, które odkryło, że idea państwa dobrobytu jest tak naprawdę fałszywą narracją.

Based on the example of Darren Aronofsky’s film Black Swan, the article explores the disillusive potential of interfering with the classic model of film dramaturgy. Referring to the traditional paradigm developed by Syd Field, the author indicates deviations from the conventional narrative that occur in Aronofsky’s film. The text seeks to confirm the thesis that contemporary cinematography exemplifies the trend of abandoning the attempts to create a seemingly referential world. By questioning the fundamental structure of the film’s dramaturgy, Black Swan provides additional interpretive possibilities. However, displaying the constituent elements of a work, for example, by transaccentuating their meaning or changing their place or length of occurrence, is not the most obvious disillusionment strategy. It may in fact remain hidden until the moment of careful analysis.
