Stanisław Rembek wobec imaginarium wojennego (na przykładzie powieści „Nagan” i „W polu”)
Stanisław Rembek and the Imaginary of War (the Cases of the Novels “Nagan” <“Revolver”> and “W polu” <“In the Field”>)

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at interpreting Stanisław Rembek’s selected pieces, namely the novels “Nagan” (“Revolver”) and “W polu” (“In the Field”) as well as short stories from the times of the 1918-1921 Polish-Soviet War. The author’s considerations focus on pacifistic aspects of Rembek’s interwar writing. The study also presents the modes with which the prose challenged the traditional in Polish literature war image, violating at the same time the Tyrtaean-martyrological-Messianic picture of armed forces. To accomplish this goal, the author uses the term imaginary understood as a figure of collectively experienced drama. Additionally, Bartłomiej Bielas refers to the present state of Rembek studies, and sketches, based on Rembek’s statements, his attitude to pacifism.
