The article, based on Wojciech Górecki’s reportages (travel narratives), examines the traces of the shattered subjectivity of the Soviet empire in its scattered peripheries: states and para-states. Referring to the Derridian triad – remnants, traces, and fragments – the literary reflection attempted here concerns the sphere of ontologization, that is, capturing the meanings emerging after the disintegration of political, social, and economic ties. Among important methodological inspirations are postcolonialism, Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction and the essays by Gorgio Agamben and Jean Baudrillard, which lead to the conclusion that state structures never die, but manifest their presence in spectral ways.
he article, based on the reportage texts by Wojciech Górecki, attempts to look at the traces of the shattered subjectivity of the Soviet empire in the scattered periphery: states and para-states. Referring to the Derridian triad - remains, traces and remains - the literary reflection concerns the sphere of ontologization, that is, capturing the meanings emerging after the disintegration of political, social and economic ties. An important methodological inspiration is e.g. postcolonialism, J. Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, J. Derrida's deconstruction and reading essays by G. Agamben, J. Baudrillard, which lead to the conclusion that state structures never die, but manifest their presence through spectral views.Download files
