Summary/Abstract: Tabaszewska reads Svetlana Alexievich’s reportage works as affective texts that alter the conditions of how the world of Events is experienced and perceived. With a conceptual framework inspired by Lauren Berlant, Jill Bennett, Astrid Erll and others, Tabaszewska highlights those aspects of Alexievich’s works that indicate their affective, emotional, bodily and somatic character. These works of reportage are also read as an attempt to create a new form of remembering these previously marginalized Events that any given society must internalize and then work through.
