SLAVIC 179 - Bialoszewski: The Art of Private Life

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

How do traumatic experiences affect literary modes for representing the everyday? What critical approaches are most productive for approaching such works? Explore the unique aesthetic strategies of Miron Bialoszewski, whose attention to insignificant quotidian events makes him the most "private" writer in historically and politically oriented postwar Polish literature. Theoretical readings frame discussions on the everyday, trauma, and queer studies.
