My, świadkowie
We, the Witnesses

Summary/Abstract: Nycz presents the perspective offered by studies on witnesses and testimonies in relation to a particular model of subjectivity – a model that assumes a basic “sociality” as well as a primitive “us” that gives rise to a relational and dependent subjectivity-on-account-of-another. This model of a witness-subject or subject-witness functions on several levels: individual identity, the collective subject and the philosophical concept of universal subjectivity. Initiated by witnesses of the Holocaust, this model of subjectivity is becoming more and more important in contemporary culture.
