Summary/Abstract: The article presents the socio-cultural functions of the phantasm of masculinity in Jacek Komuda’s neosarmatic works. The point of reference in the analysis of neosarmatism as a phantasm is Przemysław Czapliński’s and Maciej Parkitny’s research on Polish Enlightenment and the function of the warchoł figure in political and social discourse. The analysis of the construction of the anti-heroic masculinity model in Komuda’s work draws on Filip Mazurkiewicz’s theses on the construction of hegemonic masculinity in 19th-century Polish literature. As a result, Komuda’s historical phantasm of neosarmatism, based on a stereotype, reveals attempts to escape the demands of modernity and a creation of a field of imaginary hegemony in opposition to the structural weakness of Polish masculinity.
