Płeć transformacji
The Sex of Transformation

Review: Agnieszka Mrozik, Akuszerki transformacji. Kobiety, literatura i władza w Polsce po 1989 roku. Warszawa 2012. „Lupa Obscura”

Summary/Abstract: The review is a description of Agnieszka Mrozik’s book "Akuszerki transformacji. Kobiety, literatura i władza w Polsce po 1989 roku" ("Midwives of Transformation. Women, Literature and Power in Poland after 1989") on modern women literature viewed from the context of most crucial changes, problems and social processes in Poland at the time of transformation. The key category of female (and male) identity for the analyses proves a dynamic and complex concept, embroiled not only into gender matters, but also class and national and ethnic ones. The author explicitly points at the important patterns of identification that dominate also in literature - important from the point of view of political memory areas of concealment and denial.
