Abstract

 

Witkacy from the postcolonial perspective

Postcolonial studies implies negation of western canon, hegemony of the white man and his Europe. Several plays and one novel written by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz Witkacy are full of exotic colonial literary motives. Postcolonial studies seems to fulfill his catastrophism as the end of western cultural heritage.
