Abstract

Šezdesete i sedamdesete godine u Poljskoj obilježila je represivna vlast socijalističkog režima koja je gušila slobodu izražavanja. Upravo u tom okruženju cenzure izrasla je nova generacija pjesnika, Nowa Fala, među kojima se Stanisław Barańczak istaknuo kao ključna intelektualna figura. Prepoznat kao izvanredan i politički angažiran pjesnik, Barańczak se kasnije afirmirao i kao ugledan prevoditelj te oštrouman kritičar prevođenja. Njegova poezija, prožeta jedinstvenim stilom lingvističke inovativnosti, istražuje egzistencijalne, etičke, metafizičke i političke teme. Barańczakova etika temelji se na uvjerenju da književnost mora biti kritički nastrojena i nepovjerljiva kako bi razotkrila lažne slojeve novogovora, jezika koji je izgubio svoju pravu funkciju. Vjerovao je da poezija pripada najuzvišenijoj sferi umjetnosti i da posjeduje gotovo metafizičku dimenziju. Njegova poetika oduševljava inovativnim izrazima, frazeološkim dosjetkama, ironičnim tonom i dubokom misaonošću. Pri odabiru autora za prevođenje, birao je one pjesnike čije su vrijednosti i umjetnički izrazi bili usklađeni s njegovim pogledima, dijeleći njegovu viziju „etike i poetike“. Njegova poezija i eseji pružaju dubok uvid u kulturni i politički kontekst koji ga je oblikovao, a zahvaljujući trajnoj etičkoj funkciji, ostaju aktualni i važni u okviru poljske književnosti.

Abstract (english)

The 1960s and 1970s in Poland were marked by the repressive rule of the socialist regime, which restricted freedom of expression. It was within this environment of censorship that a new generation of poets, known as Nowa Fala (New Wave), emerged, with Stanisław Barańczak standing out as a key intellectual figure. Recognized as an outstanding and politically engaged poet, Barańczak later established himself as a distinguished translator and a keen critic of translation practices. His poetry, marked by a distinctive use of language, explores existential, ethical, metaphysical, and political themes. Barańczak's ethics were based on the belief that literature must be critical and distrustful to expose the falsehoods of newspeak, a language that had lost its true purpose. He believed that poetry belonged to the highest sphere of art and possessed an almost metaphysical dimension. His poetics captivate with innovative expressions, clever wordplay, irony and profound reflection. In choosing authors for translation, he selected poets whose values and artistic expressions aligned with his own, sharing his vision of “ethics and poetics”. His poetry and essays provide deep insight into the cultural and political context that shaped him and, due to their enduring ethical function, remain relevant and significant within Polish literature.
