Masochisms. Mythologizing as an Aesthetics of Crisis in the Work of Bruno Schulz
Abstract
The study Masochisms. Mythologizing as an Aesthetics of Crisis in the Work of Bruno Schulz,
parts of which have been translated below, presents the thesis that in the work of B. Schulz the
phenomenon of mythologizing is connected with masochism – a concept conceived of as a historical,
cultural and aesthetic interpretative category. The combination of the two phenomena makes
it possible to notice some relationships between Schulz’s literary and graphic works which have
not been recognized yet. The author discusses some psychoanalytical, sociological, historical and
philosophical notions of masochism applicable to a literary text. She tries to describe the “masochistic
aesthetics” appearing in Schulz’s short stories (on the narrative level: lack of motion,
suspense, tension) and in his graphics (theatricalization, lack of eye contact between the figures)
and shows how this aesthetics integrates the prose of Schulz, his Idolatrous Book and his illustrations
for the short story The Book.
