Człowiek – muzyka – Śląsk. Esej o ranie
Man – Music – Silesia. Essay on a Wound

Summary/Abstract: The article (research essay) approaches the Silesian version of the wound. The thing about Jorg is rooted in the idea of Silesian at home and Silesian varieties of anxiety, striving, and sublime looking into the infinite. The house is revealed as a significant cultural and metaphysical structure in which the wounded person trains themselves, returns home, and works through the fall. The accompanying figure of Ȭma hides the knowledge about the gravity of what is absolute, what is in the distance, which should not appropriate life and rule over man. There is something terrifyingly symbolic in Jorg’s fate when he “loses” himself with music, along with Silesia and all that is human. Throwing oneself into the embrace of art and the world, the desire to embrace “everything,” to follow that which hurts, leads to difficulties in reconciling passion and crazy talent with the restraint and precision of the home, but also with keeping a man alive. The bill paid by a man is overwhelming.
