Imperatyw dekonwencjonalizacji. „Wizja skąpa” Tadeusza Gajcego

Abstrakt

The article contains an interpretation of Tadeusz Gajcy's poem The Scanty Vision. The poem shows the way the poet modifies the earlier forms of writing, noticing how insufficient they are under the conditions imposed by the war. The poem begins with a sophisticated image, but at the end it is reduced to an elementary confession of the will to act. This aesthetic redefinition would not be possible without a meta-literary self-reflection, without the need to escape convention, and the will to abandon subjectivity for the sake of struggle, even at the price of death – as a gift to the descendents.
