Poszerzanie pola widzenia. Powieść Jasenovac Ljuby Jandricia w kontekście ekokrytyki
Expanding the Field of Vision. The Novel Jasenovac by Ljubo Jandrić in the Context of Ecocriticism

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on a more obscure literary representation of concentration camp reality: the novel Jasenovac by Ljubo Jandrić (1980), which presents an unusual perspective on the realities of internment, from the viewpoint of the camp commander. However, the originality of the work lies in the author’s emphasis on how natural conditions influence genocidal actions: here, nature is portrayed as a significant factor in the functioning of the camp. The article also reveals how the senses (sight, hearing, and smell) function as elements of the depicted world, through which the author conveys the horrific experience of the camp itself. The article emphasizes the need for retrospective readings (Aleksandra Ubertowska), thus allowing readers to be reintroduced to overlooked texts, enabling their reinterpretation and pointing out their (non-obvious) meanings.
