Próba przeszczepienia typomorfologii Pierre’a Schaeffera do analizy wybranych słuchowisk eksperymentalnych Polskiego Radia
An Attempt to Apply Pierre Schaeffer’s Typomorphology to an Analysis of Selected Experimental Radio Plays Produced by Polish Radio

Summary/Abstract: This text represents an attempt to confront the typomorphology developed by Pierre Schaeffer in the 1950s with an analysis and interpretation of experimental radio plays produced by the Polish Radio Theatre and the Polish Radio Experimental Studio. The examples studied are works whose plot and music explore the theme of rail travel. A train actually appears as a theme in Schaeffer’s composition Etude aux chemins de fer, crucial for typomorphological analysis. The author dissects both radio adaptations (Edward Stachura’s Siekierezada and Fabula rasa, Vasily Grossman’s Wszystko płynie [Everything flows], and Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz’s Szalona lokomotywa [The crazy locomotive]) and also original productions of the Polish Radio Theatre (Grzegorz Walczak’s Kaktus [Cactus]). Apart from classic radio plays, also analysed are works produced by the Polish Radio Experimental Studio (Śniadanie na trawie w grocie Lascaux [Breakfast on the grass in Lascaux Cave] and Ptacy i ludzie [Birds and people] by Eugeniusz Rudnik).
