Czy męskie kobiety i zniewieściali mężczyźni to wytwór kultury współczesnej? Ślady przenikania się ról płciowych w dramacie „Barbara jeszcze Gasztołdowa żona” Dominika Magnuszewskiego
Are masculine women and effeminate men a product of contemporary culture? Traces of gender role interpenetration in Dominik Magnuszewski’s play “Barbara jeszcze Gasztołdowa żona”

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to show the social and cultural processes that perpetuate the patriarchal model of society using the example of Dominik Magnuszewski’s play Barbara jeszcze Gasztołdowa żona. Using research in the field of cultural anthropology, I consider the work in the context of the representation of gender roles in a manner inconsistent with the archetypal patterns. King Sigismund represents the type of effeminate masculinity, while Queen Bona is referred here to the virago femininity type, combining traits considered as masculine and feminine. The paper develops research into the problem of the domination of patriarchy in 19th century Poland, using terminology taken from cultural anthropology (androcentric ignorance).
