Słowo w zagrożeniu. Wokół interpretacji twórczości Konwickiego w PRL-u lat 70. i 80

An attempt at an anthropological interpretation of the situation of the milieu of Polish studies at Warsaw University at the turn of the 1970s. The milieu in question is portrayed as a community (in the meaning borrowed from A. P. Cohen), which in the conditions of a threat to its fundamental value – the word – defends its boundaries. The author accomplished this by, i.e. examining the “badly present” authors and phenomena pertaining to domains affected by censorship. The ensuing reading is based on analyses of selected scientific interpretations of works by Tadeusz Konwicki.
