Echa Gałczyńskiego na szlaku. O turystycznych sposobach doświadczania poety i poezji

Abstract

The article focuses on the guidebooks and tourist trails that commemorate the outstanding Polish poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński (1905–1953) in the Masurian region in northern Poland, where the poet used to spend holidays at the Pranie Forester’s House. The sketch presents the literary memorial sites that emerge based on the works and biography of Gałczyński, where one may experience his poetry in the touristic way. The author follows the geoliterary tracks of the poet and attempts to answer the question about the types of narratives created by specific locations and the methods of their presentation through such generic forms as guidebooks, maps, museums, and trails. Each of the sites manages the historical material and the subjectivity of the narrator in a different way, leaving different tracks: personal, theoretical, urban or natural ones.
