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.

The article aims at demonstrating how the South’s major narrative: slavery can be contemporarily used so that it no longer has the status of a rigid historical paradigm and becomes instead a campy, or else, culturally “masqueraded”, space. The author claims that the major contemporary function of the so understood southern slavery is the advancement of the region it represents as a complex cultural artifact whose nature is primarily subversive. The author attempts to substantiate this thesis by analyzing the book by a contemporary Afro-American writer Edward P. Jones entitled "The Known World" (2003). This 2004 Pulitzer Prize winning novel introduces the story of the southern antebellum slavery from the point of view of a black slaveowner only to undermine the idea of mastery as only white anomaly. In consequence, so construed a narration compels readers to also reconsider other “inalienable rights” which the idea of mastery entails, individual freedom, pursuit of happiness, or clearly defi ned identity among them.

Ideą artykułu jest zaprezentowanie, jak niewolnictwo – główny „wątek narracyjny” amerykańskiego Południa i jednocześnie niepodważalny, „sztywno” zdefi niowany fakt historyczny – może stać się współcześnie przestrzenią kampową, a więc i swoistą kulturową „maskaradą”. Autorka wysuwa tezę, iż główną funkcją tak rozumianej idei niewolnictwa jest potrzeba ukazania amerykańskiego Południa wczoraj i dziś jako w pierwszym rzędzie niejednoznacznego kulturowego artefaktu. Tezę tę autorka udowadnia analizując książkę pt. "The Known World" ("Znany świat") napisaną w roku 2003 przez afroamerykańskiego pisarza Edwarda Jonesa. Powieść, która jest fi nalistą Nagrody Pulitzera z roku 2004, otwiera wątek czarnego właściciela niewolników. Tym samym Znany świat podważa ideę władzy jako wyłącznie biały „stan posiadania”.

The performative potential of Logos as a component of the propagandist formula of Wisława Szymborska’s socialist realist poems The present paper proposes a handful of reflections on the performative dimension of the language of propaganda as viewed through the lens of the debut poems by Wisława Szymborska. The underlying assumption is that despite the unambiguous orientation of those texts towards achieving particular propaganda purposes, Szymborska’s early poems do express her authentic convictions and idealistic belief in the opportunity to realize them with the help of word understood as Logos. i. e. a creative and powerful force for influencing, shaping and changing the reality. Their nature is not only ideological but also ideational, which can be seen in the attempt to reconcile temporary persuasive goals with axiological substance based on the emotional engagement and sincerity of intentions. It finds its confirmation in the area of symbolism and imagery as well as in the thematic sphere so typical of the said Nobel prize winner, inspired by what is ordinary and individual while still being important and universal.
