Book plates by Bruno Schulz as “booksigns” with concealed erotic undertones
Abstract
Tematem tekstu są ekslibrisy Brunona Schulza, które autor Sklepów cynamonowych
wykonywał dla znajomych. Są to przede wszystkim wyobrażenia związane
z erotyką. Bardzo często o dość „mrocznej proweniencji”, gdyż nawiązują do
masochistycznych wątków jego twórczości, demonicznych kobiet i ich nieokiełznanej
siły zmysłowej. Na marginesie wskazane zostają też inne drobiazgi wizualne: szkice,
projekty, cegiełki, zaproszenia, tzw. druki ulotne. Stają się one ważne o tyle, o ile
pozwalają wyjaśnić genezę ekslibrisów pisarza.
Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, że biblioteki i przestrzeń wirtualna, jak pokazał
czas, to miejsca, obszary współczesnej aktywności archiwistycznej, twórczej i odbiorczej,
które pozwalają te wszystkie materiały skatalogować, utrwalić, zachować,
a więc powołać do życia raz jeszcze… dla przyszłych pokoleń.
The present article discusses the book plates designed by Bruno Schulz which the author of Sklepy cynamonowe [The Street of Crocodiles] created for his friends and acquaintances throughout his life. The book plates mainly feature erotic images that relate to specifically created topics and, quite frequently, are of somewhat murky and morally questionable provenance, since they clearly relate to masochistic threads, demonic women and their unbridled sensual indulgence. On a side note, the article also discusses other minor visual elements such as sketches, designs, blueprints, donation certificates, invitations, i.e. the so-called ephemera. These available snippets of ephemera become even more important as they allow us to explain the origins of the book plates under investigation. The underlying goal of the article, however, is to show that libraries and virtual space in general are, as it has been proved in time again and again, exactly the right place and areas of modern archival practice that allow us to catalogue, process and preserve these materials, thus make them ready for revival for future generations.
