O miejskiej przestrzeni autobiograficznej i literackim praktykowaniu Paryża w twórczości Patricka Modiano

The article interprets the urban and, at the same time, literary techniques of Patrick Modiano, a contemporary writer who explores the theme of individual and collective memory. On the one hand, by invoking the writer’s material, cultural and socio-historical context as well as his topographic imagery the text recognizes the position of Modiano poetry in the recent cultural landscape of France, and especially Paris. On the other hand, however, it confronts his narrative tactics with selected strategies of contemporary urban literature and visual arts in order to distinguish the writer’s auto/bio/geo/graphical characteristics.
