he article discusses the semantics of the motif of the city in Roman Jaworski’s short stories collected in the volume “Historie maniaków” (“The Stories of Maniacs”). Creation of the motif allows to identify the hero of the prose (an individualist, a kind of maniac) and the antihero (the crowd) who are in a constant struggle. The city is portrayed with expressions describing non-aesthetic visual and acoustic effects, and thus becomes a figure of modern civilization which threatens the individualist. The individualist, to continue, dreaming and taking advantage of various fighting strategies, raises a rebellion. His projects concerning the expansive nature of the urban agglomeration are doomed to failure. It is only fanciful creation that decides about a kind of victory of an individual, helpless against the pressure of mass culture. Jaworski presents the process which Georg Simmel calls “tragedy of culture,” and he is interested in one of its phases, namely a prolonged moment of antagonistic civilization product turning against the producer. In such antagonistic persistence Jaworski sees the nature of modernity to which the maniac, opposing it, is doomed.

The aim of the article is to study the mechanism of creating grotesque in Roman Jaworski’s collection of short stories titled Historie Maniaków (Stories of Madmen). The analysis of the structure of Jaworski’s work (plot, character construction, metaliterary passages) has shown that the contrast between the figure of fulfilment and its degeneration is the semantic category which constitutes the grotesque world of his stories. Meaningful with regard to ontology, epistemology and axiology negative categories such as nothingness, deformation or ugliness, within the historical-literary context function as an opposition to dominant at that time poetics of symbolism. Simultaneously, they become an expression of the typical of modernist awareness crisis of the subject, and of the doubt in the cognitive and representative potential of language.

Roman Jaworski’s novel Wesele hrabiego Orgaza is about the end of the European civilization after the Great War trauma, namely, about its cultural fall. The article is an attempt to compare some of the author’s proposals with Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy about homo sacer. As a result of the comparison, Jaworski sees perhaps the salvation for Europe after the war. First, in the destruction of history, tradition and canon – rejection of returning to the past state after politicians’ peacetime agreements. Second, he sees it in mixing the sphere of sacrum and profanum not only in the cultural life, but also in the religious or social one, because violated holiness cannot be restored. Thanks to that the New Europe will create new post-traumatic order. But finally, Jaworski’s observations can be cynical, Europe just needed to go through its trauma.
