W klubie konstrukcjonalistów. Strategie autotematyczne we wczesnej prozie Karola Irzykowskiego i Romana Jaworskiego

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show how strategies of self-reference in early papers of Karol Irzykowski and Roman Jaworski influence on each other in stories like Silent Amor (Amor milczący), Fanfaron by Jaworski and What is Horla? (Czym jest Horla) and Dreams of Maria Dunin (Sny Marii Dunin) by Irzykowski. Authors lived and worked in Lviv, were debating in the Club of Constructionsts – official assosiation of enthusiasts of continiuity in the art. Through revelation of themselves in their narratives they can build aesthetic programs so they papers became specific manifestos of the new approach to the art and also to a reader. They create positions of the writer as an ironist who expresses himself and impairs his authority, keeping the reader in constatly insecurity so he can produce his own meanings. Irony do not allow the sense to conventionalize. Both ideas had one common source but they evolved to the two different programmes: Irzykowski believed that the construction had its own meaning and was cultural symbol but Jaworski underlined nessesity to break with current aestetic and common readers.
