Abstract
The author uses the
notion of ressentiment developed by F. Nietzsche, M. Scheler and A. Camus. She understands ressentiment
as a psychosocial form of relations of the weaker with the stronger, the dominant with the enslaved, which
describes the state (process) of liberation from the power of somebody else’s glance and a subjugating
system of values. The author transfers the notion of ressentiment onto the contemporary Ukrainian (J.
Andruchowycz) and Polish (A. Stasiuk) prose. She describes ressentiment as a crucial component of
Ukrainian postcolonial awareness that manifests itself mainly in the prose. Anticolonial covetousness and
postcolonial rebellion determine the amplitude of emotional manifestations of ressentiment. The above
mentioned writers display an idealisation of Central Europe as a world rich in values that were not colonised,
thus representing a chance for liberation from the demeaning influence of ressentiment.
