Czy homo europae centralis to homo motus? Rozważania o środkowoeuropejskiej „solidarności poruszonych“

The plethora of borders dividing Central Europe and borderland features of the region have arisen a constant fear of being threatened and/or losing one’s home, which is a leitmotiv running through Central European literatures, especially from 20th and 21st century. The shock of war and the postwar periods, displacements, fear for life, and a feeling of terror are common Central European experiences which might be understood as a basis for ‘solidarity of the moved’ (a variation on Patočka's ‘solidarity of the shaken’). The author of the paper focuses on literary depictions of these experiences written after the abolition of the censorship in Central Europe, and tries to answer the still valid question about the existence of ‘Central European community’.
