Summary/Abstract: Kałuża describes the communicational conditions, politico-cultural perspectives and aesthetic or artistic approach to poems in the work of Polish poets residing outside Poland. As a point of departure she proposes to substitute twenty-first-century emigre narratives with notions of cultural encounters and everyday writing practices. Based on an analysis of both the poems and the traditions in which they are rooted, Kałuża proposes her principal thesis that these works are tied to a monolithic and conservative model of culture.
