Punkty biograficzne. Potencjalność życiorysu w poezji Tadeusza Różewicza

Abstract

Repeatable biographical elements of the author’s signature in the works of Tadeusz Różewicz are: first name, last name, place and date of birth, less often – parents’ and brothers’ names, names of the places of constant or temporary residence. Their appearance in poems causes the effect of a syllepsistic subject, however, it does not create a consistent biography. We observe here diffused and repeatable biographical points, which confirm the identity of the literary person in limited range. The basic personal data are enwrapped in existential, socio-cultural and historical (related to the readings, historical and political events, family, friends and acquaintances, everyday life) situations. Composing and decomposing of a biography or its constant “collecting” and “scattering” – if you refer to Kartoteka (The Register) and Kartoteka rozrzucona (The Register Scattered) – takes place due to author’s own operations, as well as those of the explorers and interpreters of his works.
