ZYGMUNT HAUPT. WORLDVIEW
We will pose a question about the view of the world, about how it emerges from his work, and we will bring up some of its themes: existential topics, the feeling of displacement, the Kresy experiences, borderlands, experiences of war, the epistemological helplessness against worldly chaos, modernity as a time of unification and standardisation, the inadequacy of language and metaphor, language as Paradise Lost, the conviction that art constitutes the highest good, and the non-continuity of the world (the conviction that the story cannot be fully told) as the determinant of a narrative (patchwork, non-linearity, fragmentariness, digression, multivocality, dissonance, archaisms, syntactic lapse, addressing the reader), multi-layered narrative, shape memory, “the art of permeation,” between poetry and “prattle” or the vernacular.
