Postpamiętanie, postciało. O działaniach artystycznych Patrycji Dołowy na terenie byłego getta warszawskiego
Post-remembering, post-body. About Patrycja Dołowy’s artistic activities in the former Warsaw Ghetto

Summary/Abstract: The article has to do with an analysis of the artistic activity in the sphere of cultural and individual memory which refers to the area of the Warsaw Ghetto. On the basis of Patrycja Dołowy’s works and a drama piece which she co-wrote the author examines the extent to which the strategies of individual memory are not intellectual in a fundamental way. They do, however, constitute a collection of memories, concepts and interpretations which preclude objectivisation – so much expected in reference to the national memory whose aim is to establish the foundation of the identity of the nation. In her article the author introduces an innovative term, “Jewish fiction”, construed as the making up or combining in a collage manner of Jewish stories in order to situate them in the collective imaginarium as a new chapter of post-memory activities.
