Miasto z pamięci i snu. Problematyka redefiniowania tożsamości w liryce emigracyjnej Marii Pawlikowskiej-Jasnorzewskiej

Abstract

It is difficult to find the acceptance of forced exile and a trial to close it in Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska output. However, solitude is underlined through frequency in Marii Pawlikowskiej-Jasnorzewskiej introduction of, among others, unfriendly, destroyed and labyrinth space. The poet turns back from that space and is concentrated on nostalgic returns to land from her memory and dreams. The procedure of strengthening the past is a result of a sensitivity to integration of outer forces and a desire to regain the balance. Memories of Cracow and surroundings realize it. They are put through a poetic power that creates intimate microcosmos with its centre. The picture of family city takes part in creation of a new type of identity. It is characterized by a mental escape from the presence because it is alien and forces chaos as well as a return to the past that design what is close and lost. Returns to dreams and privillaged places are marked with the feeling of affiliation. They also protect against „being exiled” and indicate the source of „a real life”.
