Zbigniew Białas Fat: Fat[e]s and Fa[c]ts   Summary Fat is seen in most travel literature as inspirational towards sloth, idleness and inertia. It is frequently linked to the discourse of gluttonous excess. The essay - a reconaissance into a potentially huge, uncharted territory of aesthe­tics - signals several complex relations between the traveller and the representations of fat. Presented here under several emblematic guises (body fat, fat on the the surface of the body, protective grease, etc) fat is analysed, all in all, as a convenient representational tool, not only for constructing disgust.
