Bruno Schulz - World as a Text, Creative Power of Words

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2010

Abstract

In the literary works by Bruno Schulz we often meet with an interesting phenomenon of transforming world into the text structure and with the metaphor of world as a text, including the symbol of a Book and Golem motives, both reflected from the cabbalistic point of view. Omnipresent processes of exegesis and interpretation of the world/text symbolize the creative aspect of human relationship to the world and the same time represent the reconstruction of the primary meaning lost somewhere in the "mythological twilight" of the past.
