Kopciuszek idzie na wojnę? Fallocentryzm a pseudofeminizm w baśniowej dystopii (na przykładzie Cinderella Is Dead Kalynn Bayron)

Kinga Matuszko

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2024 | Abstrakt | s. 1-13

The article analyzes pseudo-feminist ways of creating female characters and the world presented in the novel Cinderella Is Dead (2022) by Kalynn Bayron, which is a reinterpretation of Cinderella. By transforming a known history, the authoress wants to participate in discourses calling for inclusiveness and equality of worldviews. To do so, she introduces various refractions: emphasizes women’s agency and their pursuit of self-determination, and changes the protagonist’s skin color and sexual orientation. She exposes features commonly associated with feminism, which often has the opposite effect, and the work itself can be interpreted as pseudo-feminist. This is particularly visible in measures such as demonizing men or the lack of positive male figures, as well as superficial and instrumental treatment of issues important to feminism. Attention was also paid to the phenomenon of blackwashing, which in the novel is primarily a marketing trick and an expression of cultural fashion.

Świadectwo czy kreacja? O książce Mama zawsze wraca Agaty Tuszyńskiej i Iwony Chmielewskiej

Martyna Dymon

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-11

The aim of the article is to consider whether Agata Tuszyńska and Iwona Chmielewska’s publication is a literary redefinition of the act of testimony. The author analyzes the relationship between text and image, at the same time referring to the life-writing trend. Moreover, the author raises questions about the relationship between the borrowed past and collective memory. In the article, the author also draws attention to the creation of a child’s perspective, which is mainly generated through the mother tongue. The parent is the only person who creates the imaginary synthesis of the individual elements of Polish culture in miniature. Therefore, the author analyzes the stylization aspect of Tuszyńska’s story on the child’s perception, which often turns out to be simultaneously inscribing the extreme situation into the space of a fairy tale.
