„Literatury mniejsze” Europy romańskiej

Abstract

The present volume is an attempt at presenting and analysing unique features of those Romance literatures which have been developing in the shadow of dominant literatures, cultures and languages. The articles included herein address various aspects of this subject: they discuss the notion of “minor literatures” within the sphere of Romance cultural and linguistic influence, they indicate the complexity of cultural relations between centre and periphery, they demonstrate how a crucial role literature plays in the construction of individual and collective identity, and signal some social and political problems which must be faced by authors who want to distance themselves from the dominant political life.
