Upper Silesia as a Myth and Utopia in the Works of Horst Bienek

Abstract: Horst Bienek was  a very well known and influential personality in the literary circles in Germany. His works are also important for the history of Silesian literature because of his role in the intraGerman and German-Polish discourse about the homeland, history and identity. In the article the author presents poetical strategies and  methodology which Bienek  used while creating his mythic representations of Silesia and (at the same time) of himself.

Keywords: literary history, German literature, Silesian literature, Horst Bienek, utopia
