Krajobraz po wstręcie. Los metafory
Landscape after the disgust. The fate of a metaphor

Summary/Abstract: Grzegorz Niziołek argues that the events of 1968 undermined the communal legitimisation of Polish theatre. He analyses the modifications undergone by the metaphor of the nation as lava, taken from part III of Adam Mickiewicz's Forefather's Eve, and the way in which the Warsaw Salon scene formatted the narrative of 1968. He looks at examples taken from, among others, the work of Czesław Miłosz and Melchior Wańkowicz. He juxtaposes the metaphor he focuses on against conceptualisations of the category of disgust.
