Vol. 16 No. 2 (2020): Engagement and revolution. Presentations: Ananda Devi

Articles in the main section are concerned with the political categories of engagement and revolution. These categories are being interpreted, recontextualised and demonstrated through a variety of examples, including artistic works which use the phenomenon of an amusement park; the literary field which is the product of the experience of the Euromaidan; the reinterpretation of Maxim Gorky’s Mother; a depiction of the Russian Red Square as a space of protest; a description of Broniewski, an event which took place in the Raster Galery; the phenomenon of the political revue, which in the Germany of the 1920s became a form of political propaganda; and an analysis of the work of Mieczysław Szczuka, a pioneer of Polish constructivism. The “Presentations” section includes excerpts of the poetry and prose of Ananda Devi in Krzysztof Jarosz’s translation, an interview with this Mauritius-born Francophone author, and essays introducing her work. The “Varia” section completes the issue.
