The text concentrates on the multidimensional aspects of transforming a Masurian town into a tourist attraction. The analyzed material includes tourist brochures, museum guides and leaflets, town promotion events, fairs, and festivals. The article demonstrates what role folk literature and local lore play in the recapturing of the site identity, especially when it is part of Recovered Territories. It further shows how certain aspects of this process are forgotten. The author investigates cultural meanings of such procedures, uncovers attitudes towards history and local memory, and finally asks questions about their role in contemporary culture.
This essay, inspired by Elżbieta Rybicka’s book, demonstrates the significance of geopoetics, especially in the broader context of literary and urban culture. Of special attention here are literary and cultural practices which unite cultural study and literary analysis.
This text is an attempt at reading the relation between Miron Białoszewski’s prose and the urban space with the use of the category of urban practices and speech genres. In this perspective also literature becomes a type of urban practice, practicing the autobiographic space by Białoszewski The article demonstrates its meanings and functions. A particular emphasis was put upon the specificity of urban space and a “transmitter” of these practices, which is always “a transmission”, an active and meaning producing element of literary communication.
Artykuł jest próbą interpretacji wielomedialności sztuki Leopolda Buczkowskiego, zwłaszcza w kontekście jego prac plastycznych, przekazanych ostatnio przez syna pisarza, Tadeusza, Muzeum Sztuki w Łodzi i wchodzących odtąd w skład Kolekcji sztuki XX i XXXI wieku. Na podstawie kwerendy archiwalnej w Muzeum i rozmów z jego pracownikami autorka dowodzi integralności pisania i rysowania, a także innych dziedzin sztuki uprawianych przez autora Czarnego potoku. Odwołując się m. in. do koncepcji Tima Ingolda, próbuje spojrzeć nie tyle na pisanie jako rysowanie, ile na rysunki pisarza jako zapis. W artykule wskazano na kilka najważniejszych funkcji plastycznej twórczości pisarza: autobiograficzną, intymistyczną (rysunkowe notatki), dokumentacyjną, antropologiczną i egzystencjalną („etno-grafika”) oraz sztukę plastyczną jako performans ucieleśnionej pamięci i element całościowo ujmowanej narracji pisarza.

An attempted interpretation of the multi-media nature of the art of Leopold Buczkowski, in particular within the context of his works recently donated by his son, Tadeusz, to the Museum of Art in Łódź and from that moment part of the Collections of 20th and 21st Century Art. By basing herself on an archival survey conducted at the Museum and interviews with members of its staff the author proves the integral nature of the written and drawn works as well as other domains of the arts pursued by the author of Czarny potok. Referring to, i.a. the conception proposed by Tim Ingold she tries not so much to view writing as drawing as to treat the writer’s drawings as a written record. The article focuses attention on several most important visual art functions fulfilled by the writer’s oeuvre: autobiographical, intimistic (drawn notes), documentary, anthropological (“ethno-graphic art”) and visual art as a performance of embodied memory and an element of a holistically interpreted narration.
