D, Yogalakshmi, and Vijayalakshmi S. "The Gift of Writers in Animating the Past to the Present as Tales of Remembrance: A Comparative Study of Salman Rushdie’s Victory City and Amitav Ghosh’s Jungle Nama."

Full textAbstract:
The research focuses on how fantasy is manifested as part of storytelling. Salman Rushdie’s Victory City (2023) and Amitav Ghosh’s Jungle Nama (2021) adopt ancient myths and histories that serve as remembrance tales. Both Rushdie and Ghosh evince a common interest in exploring social issues in their writings through an allegorical form. Rushdie’s Victory City is about the history of the Vijayanagar Empire, one of the most distinguished empires of medieval India (14th century to 16th century). Rushdie submitted his final edits of Victory City before the attack in New York City (Chautauqua) for his controversial novel The Satanic Verses. In the month of August 2022, he was stabbed in public by a youngster. He tweets that there is no freedom for authors to express themselves through writing. So, the research focuses on how fantasy serves as a tool for authors to express their views. His Victory City made him overcome all the negative criticism that he had encountered during the attack. Ghosh’s Jungle Nama also adopts the history of Sundarbans’ Forest goddess, Bon Bibi. Ghosh through his narration blends the myth and history of Bon Bibi who have been worshipped for centuries by the people of Sundarbans. Blending the real and imaginary in both fictions greatly challenges the differentiation between authenticity and fantasy. The supernatural phenomena in these narratives transport the reader from reality as a kind of escapism. During this, the characters in the fiction recall the past events and visions of the future in their present, and these aspects are also explored in the analysis. Victory City and Jungle Nama encounter the experience of mysticism in their narration which embarks on a voyage of difficulties and hindrances in the unreal world. Both these speculative fiction explore the concepts of fantasy and mystery so the theory of Magical Realism is applied to the strange creatures, other worlds, evils, demons, and demi-gods that exist in the fanciful setting which is also discussed.

Статья посвящена не исследованной в современном литературоведении повести Г. Ф. Квитки- Основьяненко, интересной с точки зрения жанровых ресурсов, их сложного преломления в перспек-тиве художественного пространства. Рассмотрена пародия на имперское культурное пространство, которое множится, разрастается путем экспансии, трансгрессии на территорию чужого. Кумуляция фиктивных хронотопов с перенесенными на свою почву чужими идеологиями, воображаемой, отор-ванной от реальности, фальшивой европеизацией оборачивается опосредованной формой антико-лониальной критики. Мимикрия, бездумное копирование становится настоящим обезьянничаньем, удвоенным в гетеротопии как форме интенсивного «производства пространства», его лабильности, деформаций, семантических сдвигов и смещений. Продуцирование пространства осуществляется в воображении, с помощью фантазирования, которое превращается в цепочку причудливых соеди-нений, гротескных образов, зеркальных отображений.Воссозданное Г. Квиткой-Основьяненко время и пространство построено на серии перемещений по имперским просторам, механистическом движении скульптурных поз и жестов, окаменелых тел, автоматов, кукол, марионеток вместо людей. При этом семантизация пространства непосредствен-но связана с субъективными интенциями, внутренним миром повествователя-визионера. Перед нами инверсивная, критически переосмысленная модель заряженного человеческими свойствами, чувствами, эмоциями феноменологического пространства, описанного Г. Башляром. Ее примене-ние по отношению к культурным реалиям первой половины XIX века позволяет адекватно интер-претировать весьма характерную для империи галломанию, моду на все французское, заграничное, обезьянничанье, слепое подражание образцам чужой культуры. Обращает на себя внимание соотнесенность этого поведения с культурной прецедентностью, следовательно, прочтение «вояжей» как риторических фигур, в аллегорическом ключе. Текстуальное прочтение пространственных перевоплощений обусловливает их трансгрессивный характер, выход за собственные пределы, экс-пансию, которая приводит к кризисному характеру гетеротопии без географических границ.Отдельного внимания заслуживает то, что украинский прозаик предлагает собственную интер-претацию концептов просветительской культуры, в частности утопий психоавтоматов, механиз-мов, которые предстают аллегориями живых людей, их предсказуемого поведения. Пародийный эффект усиливается не только нанизыванием несоответствий формы и содержания, пространства действия и пространства воображения, но и полемикой с имперским травелогом, прежде всего его наиболее реакционными, оппозиционными по отношению к Квитке-Основьяненко представителя-ми. Однако антиколониальная критика подчинена все же решению жанровых задач на уровне ино-сказания, пространственного поворота, переосмысления бинарной и тернарной моделей культуры.A parody of the imperial cultural space is considered in the paper. It is multiplied and grown through expansion and transgression into foreign lands. The accumulation of fictitious time-and-space notions with implicit foreign ideologies, which are imaginary, detached from reality, and erroneous Europeanization turns into an indirect form of anti-colonial criticism. Mimicry and mindless copying turn into real frills, doubled in heterotopy as a form of intensive space production, its lability, deformations, semantic shifts, and movements. The production of space is carried out in the imagination with the help of fantasy, which turns into a chain of bizarre combinations, grotesque, and mirror images.The time-and-space created by H. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko is built on a series of movements through the imperial spaces, the mechanistic movement of cursed poses and gestures, petrified bodies, machines, dolls, and puppets instead of people. At the same time, the semanticization of space is related to subjective intentions and the narrator’s inner world. It is an inverted, critically rethought model of the phenomenological space charged with human qualities, feelings, and emotions described by Gaston Bachelard. Its application to the cultural realities of the first half of the 19th century allows us to adequately analyze Gallomania, which was very characteristic of the empire, and fashion for all French, frills, and blind imitation of foreign culture. The correlation of this behaviour with cultural precedent and the reading of the characters’ voyages as rhetorical figures of allegorical language is shown. Textual reading of spatial reincarnations determines their transgressive nature, going beyond their borders and expansion, which causes the crisis nature of heterotopia without geographical boundaries.The Ukrainian novelist offers his interpretation of the concepts of educational culture, in particular the utopias of psycho-automated machines, the mechanisms that appear as allegories of people and their predictable behaviour. The parody effect is enhanced by a stringing of inconsistencies in form and content and spaces of action and imagination and by polemics with the imperial travelogue, especially the representatives most oppositional to H. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko. However, this anticolonial flow is aimed to solve genre problems at the level of allegory, spatial turn, and rethinking the binary and ternary models of culture.

Full textAbstract:
That policymakers adopt technoscientific viewpoints and lack reflexivity is a common criticism of scientific decision-making, particularly in response to moves to democratize science. Drawing on interviews with UK-based national policymakers, I argue that an elite sociotechnical imaginary of ‘science to the rescue’ shapes how public perspectives are heard and distinguishes what is considered to be legitimate expertise. The machinery of policy-making has become shaped around this imaginary – particularly its focus on science as a problem-solver and on social and ethical issues as ‘nothing to do with the science’ – and this gives this viewpoint its power, persistence and endurance. With this imaginary at the heart of policy-making machinery, regardless of the perspectives of the policymakers, alternative views of science are either forced to take the form of the elite imaginary in order to be processed, or they simply cannot be accounted for within the policy-making processes. In this way, the elite sociotechnical imaginary (and technoscientific viewpoint) is enacted, but also elicited and perpetuated, without the need for policymakers to engage with or even be aware of the imaginary underpinning their actions.

In this article, we analyze a possible form of the relationship between modernity and postmodernity by examining the transformation of the place of enunciation of criticism as a philosophical narrative and using it as a historical and philosophical criterion. To achieve this, we first focus on key moments in the critical discourse of modernity, and then analyze the role of Kantian criticism in the formation of a postmodern imaginary associated with the notions of useful fiction and linguistification. Finally, from a Hegelian perspective, we consider the validity of the idea of universal history and its connections to emancipatory narratives.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article approaches notions of a good life in Laos via the imaginary of the bangbot (literally: “hidden in the shade,” i.e., “invisible”), a benevolent forest spirit of high moral integrity. The bangbot live in observance of the monastic precepts of Lao Buddhism deep in the jungle, far from human settlements, tying morality to undisturbed, remote forests. The article argues that this connection of morality with deep forest enables criticism and narratives about the good life at a time when “turning land into capital” is materializing in rapid deforestation. We suggest that the potential of this imaginary for socioecological criticism and alternative visions depends on social structure and historical context. While bangbot were instrumental in violent anti-colonial revolt, lending political legitimacy to rural ethnic elites, in today's context of frontier plunder vs. conservation, they are tamed to lend legitimacy to emerging urban milieus with a socioecological orientation. Thus the cultural, sociological, and ecological dynamics of Lao's late socialism are entangled in the spirit-figure of the bangbot.

Abstract The essay draws out a conversation between Louis Althusser’s theory of ideology and his often-misunderstood notion of »symptomatic reading.« This conversation is staged by examining three pillars of Althusser’s theoretical intervention: the problem of humanism, Spinoza’s materialism of the imaginary, and Spinoza’s Biblical criticism. In doing so, the essay identifies a temporal logic of retention in the Spinozism of Althusser and the Althusser school, the productivity of which for a renewed, praxeologically informed materialist theory of reading is finally discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Inventions have their greatest impact when they go beyond their possible practical applications and act upon the imagination. When Martin Behaim invented the first globe in 1490, a functionally useless object consisting mostly of terra incognita, he was widely ridiculed; but somehow the ideas that his globe represented stuck, and within a few decades the basic validity of his construction was confirmed by the voyages of Columbus, Cabot, Vasco de Gama, Magellan, and others. Today, with efforts to situate the rapid growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially the Internet, in the context of globalization, there is a similar division between those who dismiss it as being of no importance and those who see in it a looming (for good or ill) global revolution. But, as with Behaim's globe, the imaginary possibilities of these innovations are important in determining how and to what extent human existence is to be transformed by them.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores contemporary (post-1980) British constructions of Canada or "Canadianness" as these have been conceived through the reading and reception of English-Canadian literary texts in Britain. I am arguing that in recent years Canada has been construed in Britain as an ideal, and furthermore, that this idealization has taken place in response to a perceived cultural and socio-economic malaise within contemporary British society. I use a combined postcolonial and object-relations approach to discuss the psychic investment involved in this construction of Canada as a post-imperial role model. These readers engage with the Canadian object as a sort of phantasy space, projecting onto Canada a self-image which expresses the British desire for postcolonial diversity. Canada thereby enables the dodging of the quagmires of imperiled national identity (and personal subjectivity), for its diffuse and decentralized makeup is balanced by an essentialized notion of cultural and national uniqueness. Throughout I take issue with the ways Canada tends to get celebrated in these writings as a postmodern ideal of unproblematized pluralism and endless diffusion, knowable by the sheer extent to which it seems to defy collective identity. These celebrations of Canada as a new (postmodern) Eden succeed only in emptying the Canadian domain of anything remotely contestatory or political. Indeed, this vision of Canada utilizes a limited version of postmodernism as an idealistic play of pluralities without any sense of accompanying political strife or contradiction.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the ways in which a number of important Russian writers and filmmakers of the 1910s and 1920s appropriated domestic interiors as structural, visual and literary metaphors. My focus is on the artistic articulation of the closed space of the Russian domestic interior, in particular as it surfaced in the narratives of the modernist literature and cinema of the time and became an essential metaphor of its age. In my discussion I take issue with two standard ways of understanding domestic space in existing literature. I argue that representations of home spaces in early twentiethcentury Russian culture mount a challenge to the conventional view of the home as a place of safety and stability. I also argue that, at this point, the traditional approach to the room and the domestic space as a fixed closed structure is assailed by representations that see domestic space as kinetic. The importance of the 'room in motion' means that I address cinematic as well as literary representations of domestic space, and show that even literary representation borrow cinematic techniques. My different chapters constitute case studies of various separate, but complementary, aspects of the representation of home space. The first chapter shows how domestic space in reflected in the poetical language of Anna Akhmatova. The second chapter focuses on the parallel exploration of rooms and a child's consciousness in Kotik Letaev by Andrei Belyi. The third chapter discovers the philosophy of a room built by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii in his short stories of the 1920s. The next three chapters focus on interiors of three different cinematic genres. The fourth chapter looks closely at films created by Evgenii Bauer, showing the director's innovative techniques of framing and set-design. The fifth chapter explores the film Tret'ia Meshchanskaia by Abram Room, focusing on the director's employment of the room as a structural device of the film. The last chapter analyses two lyrical comedies by Boris Barnet to show the comic effect produced by the empty room and domestic objects in his films, and also focuses on the image of staircase. In conclusion, I speculate that the representation of interior spaces in the period in question goes beyond genre, medium, and narrative structure and becomes an important and culturally dynamic motif of the time.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that Patrick White’s Voss, Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient and David Malouf’s An Imaginary Life depict landscape in a manner that reveals the inadequacies of imperial epistemological discourses and the rationalist model of subjectivity which enables them. The study demonstrates that these novels all emphasise the instabilities inherent in imperial epistemology. White, Ondaatje and Malouf chart their protagonists’ inability to comprehend and document the landscapes they encounter, and the ways in which this failure calls into question their subjectivity and the epistemologies that underpin it. One of the principal contentions of the study, then, is that the novels under consideration deploy a postmodern aesthetic of the sublime to undermine colonial discourses. The first chapter of the thesis outlines the postcolonial and poststructural theory that informs the readings in the later chapters. Chapter Two analyses White’s representation of subjectivity, imperial discourse and the Outback in Voss. The third chapter examines Ondaatje’s depiction of the Sahara Desert in The English Patient, and focuses on his concern with the ways in which language and cartographic discourse influence the subject’s perception of the natural world. Chapter Four investigates the representation of landscape, language and subjectivity in Malouf’s An Imaginary Life. Finally, then, this study argues that literature’s unique ability to acknowledge alterity enables it to serve as an effective tool for critiquing colonial discourses.

Full textAbstract:
With its focus on the relationship between dreamscape and death, this study examines the possibility of indirectly experiencing – through writing and dreaming – that which cannot be directly experienced, namely death. In considering this possibility, the thesis engages at length with Maurice Blanchot's argument that death, being irrevocably absent and therefore unknowable, is not open to presentation or representation. After explicating certain of this thinker's theories on the ambiguous nature of literary and oneiric representation, and on the forfeiture of subjective agency that occurs in the moments of writing and dreaming, the study turns to an examination of the manner in which such issues are dealt with in selected dreamscapes. With reference to David Malouf's An Imaginary Life, Alan Warner's These Demented Lands, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and Richard Linklater's Waking Life, the thesis explores the literary and cinematic representation of human attempts to define, resist, or control death through dreaming and writing about it. Ultimately, the study concludes that such attempts are necessarily inconclusive, and that it is only ever possible to represent death as a (mis)representation.

Full textAbstract:
Pourquoi la fiction utopique française des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles s’est-elle incarnée sous la forme d’un récit de voyage imaginaire à la première personne ? Pour la plupart des commentateurs du genre, l’utopie se pense d’abord et surtout sur le plan des idées, des mentalités et des idéologies ; la forme qu’elle adopte, les figures qu’elle déploie, les représentations dont elle est porteuse seraient, au mieux, des accidents de parcours. Notre hypothèse de lecture est tout autre : ces textes intéressent l’historien de la littérature précisément parce qu’ils s’articulent sous la forme d’un récit, mettant en tension la subjectivité trouble du voyageur témoin. Par leur construction mêlant le factuel et le fictionnel, ils se situent dans la double perspective du « monde comme fable » et de la « fable comme monde ». Cette dualité définitoire, nous l’étudierons à partir de la notion d’imaginaire géographique : les textes sur lesquels nous nous penchons problématisent en effet les liens entre voyage et langage, territoire et société, mobilité et individu. L’imaginaire géographique que nous analyserons est un processus, une dynamique qui informe la perception du monde et la possibilité de sa représentation : la présente étude s’intéressera, en deux parties, aux figurations de l’espace et aux pratiques spatiales, qui sont autant de médiations entre le voyageur utopique et les lieux qu’il traverseWhy were utopian fictions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries written in the form of a first person imaginary travel ? Most commentators study utopian literature as being a concept ; the form it adopts and the representations it deploys are considered, at best, incidental. Our hypothesis is quite different : these texts should interest the historian of literature precisely because they present themselves in the form of a narrative in which the subjectivity of the narrator is problematic. By their construction mixing factual and fictional elements, these texts can be read in the double perspective of the “world as fable” and the “fable as world”. We will study this duality through the notion of geographical imagination : the texts we analyze are addressing the links between travel and language, territory and society, mobility and subjectivity. The geographical imagination that we will interpret is a process that informs the perception of the world and the possibility of its representation. This doctoral thesis is divided in two parts : we will investigate depictions of space and spatial practices which are both mediations between the utopian traveler and the places he crosses

Resumo: Alguns anos antes da deflagração da Revolução Inglesa de 1640, que na Inglaterra deporia o regime monárquico e daria aos puritanos o controle de um regime pretensamente republicano, ocorreria uma série de erros políticos que contribuiriam para os conflitos que levaram à Guerra Civil. Boa parte deles adveio da política pró-Espanha assumida pelos dois primeiros reis Stuart, Jaime I e Carlos I, que, entre outras ações, não apoiaram as classes protestantes nas suas empresas de comercialização e colonização de mercados no exterior, deixando a situação econômica do país negativa. Diante do iminente fenecimento do regime monárquico, da Igreja Anglicana alicerçada no sistema episcopal e de aliança ao Estado, do perigo da Inglaterra se tornar domínio espanhol, Francis Godwin compõe por volta de 1629, publicado seu texto em 1638, a ficção utópica "The Man in the Moone". Sumarizando todo o conflito religioso e os deslizes do governo dos primeiros Stuart que caracterizou a Inglaterra nos 40 primeiros anos do século XVII, o presente estudo objetivará mostrar que essa ficção do espanhol Domingo Gonsales na sua viagem à lua, na passagem pela fictícia ilha de Santa Helena e pela China ocupada por jesuítas, debatendo as teorias de Copérnico, Galileu, Gilbert e Kepler na área da astronomia, se pretendeu uma defesa e proteção da Igreja Anglicana e do regime monárquico Tudor que aliava a Igreja ao Estado e favorecia a economia. Através do exemplo disciplinado e inovador dos jesuítas em missão na China no início do século XVII, Godwin intentará advertir os confusos reis, que a saída para os conflitos internos e externos ingleses estava no livre desenvolvimento da ciência, do comércio, e, agora diferente dos jesuítas, numa política adversária à Espanha e à mentalidade medieval e obsoleta católica
Abstract: Some years before the outbreak of the English Revolution of 1640, testifying that in England the monarchy and the Puritans would control an allegedly republican regime, there were a series of errors that contribute to political conflicts that led to the Civil War. Most of them came from the pro-Spanish political assumed by the first two Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, who, among other things, did not support the Protestant classes in their trading enterprises and colonization of overseas markets, leaving the economic situation of the country negative. Faced with the imminent withering of the monarchy, the Anglican Episcopal Church founded on the alliance with the State, the danger of Britain becoming a Spanish colony, Francis Godwin composed around 1629 and his text published in 1638, the utopian fiction "The Man in the Moone". Summarizing all the religious conflict and glides early Stuart England that characterized the first 40 years of the seventeenth century, this study will aim to show that this fiction of Spanish Domingo Gonsales on your trip to the moon, in his passage by the fictional island of Santa Helena and China populated by Jesuits, debating the theories of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Gilbert in the field of astronomy, sought a defense and protection of the Anglican Church and the Tudor monarchy that allied the Church to the State and favored the economy. Through disciplined and innovative example of the Jesuit mission in China in the early seventeenth century, Godwin will bring and warn the confused kings, that the output for the English internal and external conflicts was the investment in science, commerce, and now different from the Jesuits, in opposition to Spain and the Catholic medieval mentality and obsolete policy

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the notion of the “counterhuman imaginary.” The counterhuman imaginary directly acknowledges the “imaginary” nature of claims of human representation and human authority, in order to discover the “counterhuman” disruptions that are generated out of or alongside those claims through the self-efficacy of the other-than-human. As a disruptive or counterintuitive experience, the counterhuman presents a persistent challenge and opportunity for explication and for methodological innovation. The chapter details that the book looks at affect theory, posthumanism, new materialist theory, and environmental or geohistorical criticism. The book tests the analytical opportunities provided by the notion of the counterhuman imaginary by focusing on a diverse set of influential literary texts from the early eighteenth century in England. It illuminates the status of the counterhuman imaginary at a significant moment in the history of humans, animals, and the geographical and environmental realm—a moment that involves what is often understood as the constitution of human modernity.

Abstract Reviewing the recent interest and excitement in marginalia and readers’ marks, this chapter offers some methodological reflection. Often marginalia are read for their biographical information about the writing reader, with the attendant excitement of human connection across time and place: I discuss the imaginary life-story of the early annotator reverse-engineered from the notes in a copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio. This biographical approach restricts marginalia to self-disclosure. Instead, using reader-response criticism, I suggest the possibility of that the book itself might act as speaking subject, via the much-reproduced sixteenth-century Mannerist painting by Arcimboldo known as The Librarian, and the early modern rhetorical term prosopopeia.

Kam, Tan See. "Shanghai and Peking Blues: Fiction as Imagined History." In Tsui Hark's Peking Opera Blues. Hong Kong University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.5790/hongkong/9789888208852.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
Peking Opera Blues is a mixed-genre film built out of intertextual allusions to other film genres and texts. This enriches the film’s addressivity and is achieved particularly by functioning as a companion piece to Tsui’s 1984 film Shanghai Blues. Both films share narrative devices that mesh historicity and fictionality, creating narratives framed by history imagined into fiction and fiction imagined as history. This may be theorized as a jiegu fengjin mode of social and political criticism (using the past to comment on or lampoon the present). This jiegu fengjin mode of narration in the two Blues films, especially in the context of relating the films’ political relevance to 1980s Hong Kong, is that it yokes together, in metafictional ways, a spatio-temporal imaginary that sutures the past (turbulent times in China) to the present (political uncertainties in contemporary Hong Kong), while simultaneously seeking to engage the future (Hong Kong’s futurity as a special administrative region under Chinese sovereignty after 1997).

Full textAbstract:
Practically unique in the history of world expansion down until the eighteenth - even early nineteenth century - the continent of Australia remained a geographical imaginary, more easily mapped on paper than actually attested through discovery. Certainly that description applied to the Malacca-based “cosmographer” Manuel Godinho de Erédia and to a French school of cartography. We have no specific evidence, but it undoubtedly applied to Chinese seafarers reaching Timor and the Timor Sea zone. In sum, this chapter raises the possibility of an Asian discovery of the Great South Land. It tests this against the case of China and, in more detail, against the experience of Sulawesi-based Macassan seafarers. Additionally, it gives credence to prior Portuguese discovery narratives as with those entering the cartographic imaginings of Erédia, placing him ahead of pioneering Portuguese and Dutch voyages plying midlatitude routes eastward across the Indian Ocean. Ultimately, the chapter puts to rest the notion of a proven Chinese discovery of Australia while conceding that it remains an imaginary at the same time.

Abstract This chapter explores the origin of the imaginary sargiacus, an ichthyologic species born out of a typo that made its first appearance in the influential editio princeps of Theodore Gaza’s Latin translation of Aristotle’s Historia animalium (1476). Adopting a philological approach and analysing the development of Renaissance zoological studies within the broader context of the history of science, this case study shows how most early modern scholars tried to understand what fish the sargiacus may have been. Notwithstanding their advanced knowledge of textual criticism, however, they ultimately failed to identify it as a typographical error. The chapter also discusses other taxonomical extravagancies, offering several examples of printing mistakes and inconsistencies in rare animal names.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Historicizing fatherhood and children from ancient India to the present, this chapter examines a variety of vernacular sources and engages with the current historiographical debates to recover an important topic missing in Indian history. It recuperates the subject-position of educated Indian males, principally the male members of the reformist Bengali Hindu and Brahmo communities of colonial Bengal, as “fathers,” both biological and imaginary, who assumed a moral guardianship of an incipient nation and rested their hopes and dreams on the future generation. The male intellectuals, often subjects of derogatory criticism by the colonial government, were the first to envision new models of womanhood, family, children, nation, and new ideas of fatherhood as well. Ascribing fatherhood to this native group of interlocutors, this chapter demonstrates that both “children” and “fathers,” as plural and unstable categories, are critical for an understanding of childhood, masculinity, and the evolving national identity of India.

THE EVOLUTION OF CITY-THEME IN TOMASZ RÓŻYCKI ENTIRE OEUVRE This article contains a presentation of the evolution of the city-theme in Tomasz Różycki’s entire oeuvre. In describing the relations between the protagonist of the poems and the city, the study makes use of some concepts of theme criticism, as well as the anthropological concepts of place, non-place and space. It is shown that the key to the interpretation of Różycki’s inspirations is his life-history, and that the impetus for the urban imagination depends on the choice of aesthetic category: nostalgia or irony. In many of the poems the city of Opole is portrayed as a culturally foreign place, where the poet cannot feel at home. The accumulation of aversion is present in the invocation of the city in the book-length poem Dwanaście stacji. In the newest works by Różycki one can notice yet more architectonic and topographic details connected with Opole. The city reflects the metaphor of a palimpsest and is intrinsically a source out of which imaginary worlds grow.
