Liebe Liste,

herzliche Einladung zum englischsprachigen Online-Vortrag von Dr. hab.
Anna Kawalec (KUL Lublin) am kommenden Donnerstag, 24. Juni, um 18 Uhr
(s.t.):


      Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz - Metaphysicist and Visionary of the
      (non-)Absurd Theater

The beginning of the 20th century witnessed radical changes transforming
Europe, including Poland. It was then that extreme ideas of
individualism, materialism arose, while the immaterial was expressed by
the wails of individuals, groups and whole societies.
The unique atmosphere of Polish positivism, the atmosphere of the
Witkiewicz family, and the artist’s father and art critic in particular,
gave birth to a brilliant talent and extraordinary sensitivity
incarnated in the person of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, nicknamed Witkacy.

A versatile personality – truly Renaissance modernist – a professional
philosopher, artist, mathematician, portraitist, photographer, painter,
art theorist and, above all, a visionary of the theater – represent just
some of the areas of his authentic artistic activity.

In my presentation, while I will discuss some of the reasons for the
uniqueness of Witkiewicz and the ingenuity of his work, I will dispute
unnecessary “quirks” and wrong directions in interpretations of his
artistry. In particular, I will focus on the “metaphysics” of theater,
on the idea of the “unity in multiplicity”, less so on the composition
of artwork than on its preeminent subject-matter – the Particular Existence.
