Polish speculative fiction occupies a peripheral position with regard to its English-language counterpart, which becomes visible in the context of the polysystem theory and the genre’s founding texts. On the example of Otchłań by Robert J. Szmidt, a novel from Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Metro 2033 universe, it is possible to show the features of a potential translation, focused on the strategy of foreignization, which would determine the peripheral character of the target text. These features are, among others: neologisms, word plays or references to Polish reality.

Polskie literatury wyobrażeniowe zajmują pozycję peryferyjną względem swoich anglojęzycznych odpowiedników, co uwidacznia się w kontekście teorii polisystemu i fundamentalnych tekstów gatunku. Na przykładzie Otchłani Roberta J. Szmidta, powieści przynależącej do uniwersum Metro 2033 Dmitrija Głuchowskiego, możliwe jest wykazanie cech potencjalnego - egzotyzującego - tłumaczenia powieści, które decydowałyby o peryferyjnym charakterze tekstu przekładu. Wśród nich należy wymienić: neologizmy, gry słowne lub odniesienia do polskiej rzeczywistości.

Nino Ricci, an award-winning English-speaking Italian descendant, and Nelly Arcan, suicidal Quebecker from Montreal, portray contemporary womanhood as seen through the lenses of oppression. In Ricci’s Lives of the Saints the figure of mother becomes a curse of the woman’s son, whose whole existence is conditioned by his mother’s incidental and adulterous pregnancy. The mother shifts from the position of an individual to the position of a symbol by becoming sinful representation of her disobedience in the relation to social rules. She is dominated by masculine gaze and rules established by men. Inversely acts Cynthia, the prostitute in Nelly Arcan’s Putain, who chooses her fate intentionally but who is equally conditioned by the social environment in which she grew up. Being a prostitute is an act of succumbing to masculine tyranny. Key words: womanhood, oppressor, subjugation, Ricci, Arcan.

The novel Demain les chats (2016) by French writer Bernard Werber favors an analysis of the animal perspective in the narrative. Understanding the way the feline protagonists as well as the relationship between animals and humans are presented can allow conclusions about a potential world of the future in which humanity has failed during the transition between the Anthropocene and the apocalypse. Thus, the animals become both the victims of the catastrophe and the new dominant group. First, the context of the argument needs to be established by providing the fundamental information on the author, his works and the novel in question, including the feline protagonists. In the subsequent stage, the analysis will shift to the manner in which the characters of cats are depicted, examined by the means of a classification focused on the relationship between animals and humans. It leads to the observation of the hybrid nature of the characters and the perspective adopted by the author to describe them. Finally, the analysis results in the examination of the world perceived by the animals, a dystopian reality where the apocalypse marks the end of the Anthropocene and the change in the existing balance of power.

Le roman Demain les chats (2016) de l’écrivain français Bernard Werber favorise une analyse de la perspective animale dans le récit. Comprendre la manière de présenter les protagonistes félins ainsi que les liens entre les animaux et les humains peut permettre des conclusions sur un monde futur potentiel dans lequel l’humanité a échoué lors de la transition entre l’Anthropocène et une apocalypse, tandis que les animaux deviennent à la fois les victimes de la catastrophe et le nouveau groupe dominant. D’abord, il faut établir le contexte et fournir des informations de base sur l’auteur, son œuvre et le roman abordé, en ce compris ses protagonistes félins. Dans l’étape suivante, au centre de l’analyse se trouve la façon de dépeindre les personnages des chats, caractérisée à l’aide d’une classification focalisée sur la relation entre les animaux et les humains. Cela mène à l’observation du caractère hybride des personnages et de la perspective adoptée par l’auteur pour les décrire. Enfin, l’analyse aboutit à la caractérisation du monde observé par les animaux, une réalité dystopique dans laquelle l’apocalypse marque la fin de l’Anthropocène et le changement dans le rapport de forces existant.
