This article explores the specific biographical and literary/intertextual relationship between Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski and Witold Gombrowicz. Their biographic relations are unclear: Herling-Grudzinski first met Gombrowicz between the two world wars but did not renew the acquaintance with Witold when WW2 was over, although both authors were contributing at that time to the Paris-based 'Kultura' monthly. The reason might have been that Gombrowicz's ideological and philosophical stance was unacceptable to him. Hence, Herling-Grudzinski's continual engagement in polemics with Gombrowicz, which actually started in 1938 with his highly critical review of the novel 'Ferdydurke', and was subsequently continued in his multivolume diary 'Dziennik pisany noca'. The dispute was formally expressed in the area of the poetics of diary but concerned issues more fundamental than that: the way literature is (to be) understood, the writer's duty with respect to (a) community and, first and foremost, the concept of reality and a model of subjectivity (human being).

Artykuł jest interpretacją znanej sceny z „Dziennika” Gombrowicza, w której ratuje on żuki na plaży. Dziennikowy epizod jest omawiany w kontekście komparatystycznym (podobna scena w dzienniku Kafki), filozoficznym (moralności Kantowskiej) i teoretycznym (Derrida i animal studies). Wedle przedstawionej w artykule argumentacji Gombrowicz kontestuje usiłowania stworzenia uniwersalnej moralności i proponuje własną etykę, w której zasadnicze znaczenie przypadałoby kwestiom indywidualnej decyzji i osobistej odpowiedzialności.

The article interprets the famous scene from Witold Gombrowicz’s “Dziennik” (“Diary”) in which the writer saves beetles on a beach. The episode is discussed in a comparative context (a similar scene in Kafka’s diary), philosophical (Kantian morality), and theoretical (Derrida and animal studies). Following the argumentation offered in the article, Gombrowicz challenges the attempts at creating universal morality and suggests his own ethics in which the crucial meaning is given to the issues of individual decisions and personal responsibility.

Tekst jest recenzją książki Błażeja Warkockiego "Pamiętnik afektów z okresu dojrzewania. Gombrowicz – queer – Sedgwick" ("Memoirs of Affects from a Time of Immaturity. Gombrowicz – queer – Sedgwick"). Autor omówienia podkreśla nowatorstwo metodologiczne i interpretacyjną odkrywczość przedstawionych interpretacji. Jego zdaniem, umiejętny dobór metodologicznych narzędzi pozwolił Warkockiemu na zaproponowanie spójnej wykładni najbardziej ekscentrycznych i enigmatycznych tekstów Witolda Gombrowicza.

The text is a review of Błażej Warkocki’s book „Pamiętnik afektów z okresu dojrzewania. Gombrowicz – queer – Sedgwick” (“Memoirs of Affects from a Time of Immaturity. Gombrowicz – queer – Sedgwick”). The reviewer highlights the methodological innovativeness and interpretive originality of the presented readings. In his view, a skilful selection of methodological tools made here room for suggesting a coherent clarification of Gombrowicz’s most eccentric and enigmatic texts.

Artykuł jest omówieniem intertekstualnych relacji między twórczością Witolda Gombrowicza a pisarstwem Jeana Geneta. Liczne komentarze Gombrowicza na temat Geneta omawiano już parokrotnie, nie wskazywano jednak konkretnych przykładów inspiracji. Autor artykułu komentuje takie przykłady i przy okazji zastanawia się nad teoretycznoliterackim zagadnieniem „intencji autorskiej”. Dodatkowy kontekst stanowi książka Jeana-Paula Sartre’a „Święty Genet”, będąca dla Gombrowicza istotnym kontekstem rozumienia tekstów Geneta.

The article describes the intertextual relations between Witold Gombrowicz’s output and Jean Genet’s writings. Gombrowicz’s numerous comments about Genet have so far been repeatedly discussed, though they have missed particular examples of inspirations. The author of the paper comments such examples and simultaneously ponders upon the literary critical concept of intentio auctoris. Jean-Paul Sartre’s book “Saint Genet,” “Actor and Martyr” is Gombrowicz’s relevant context for understanding Genet’s texts and works here as an additional context.

The author uses the methodological tools as gender studies, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and post-structuralism (J. Butler, J. Kristeva, R. Barthes) to interpret Witold Gombrowicz's two dramas. In this view, 'Ivona Princess of Burgundia' and 'History' prove to be the cultural distance analysis presented in the dramatic form which reveals its plight, normativeness, and identity claims. The dramatist puts on the social processes of identity creation which stem from a series of exclusions of what is regarded as standing out of norm. Gombrowicz nonetheless is not confined to show that the sex, generally seen as something primal, innate and invariable, is a mere cultural construct and discursive form. Rather, he suggests a possibility of subversive conversion of identity forms and alternative forms of self-creation and experience.

The article is devoted to the functioning of the notion of „history” in Michel Foucault’s methodological project. The subject of interest is the author of Discipline and Punish as a theoretician of the historiography, literature and textual self‑creation. In other words, the article discusses Foucault’s three projects: 1) a revision of history as a research subject – from understanding it in categories of continuity and identity to perceiving it in categories of non‑continuity and differences, 2) interpretative and inter‑textual literature – and its history of the same type, 3) „the aesthetization of existence”.

L’article est consacré au fonctionnement de la notion « histoire » dans le projet méthodologique de Michel Foucault. L’objet de notre étude est l’auteur de Surveiller et punir. La naissance de la prison comme théoricien de l’historiographie, de la littérature et de l’auto-création textuelle. Autrement dit, nous présentons dans cet article trois projets de Foucault : 1. de la révision de l’histoire comme objet de recherches, de la conception de la percevoir dans les catégories de continuité et identité à la perspective des catégories de non-continuité et de différence ; 2. de la littérature interprétative et intertextuelle – et de son histoire au même caractère ; 3. « de l’esthétisation de l’existence ».
