It really is crazy that if you speak Russian and Polish you can just read an article in Ukrainian with more or less normal speed + comprehension

Vogel's psychoanalytic critique of Wanda Melcer's Czarny Ląd: Warszawa reportage cycle was published in Przegląd Społeczny, which Stefania absolutely would have read; Maurycy Berensztejn compared Stef's descriptions of the Kraków Jewish district in Korzenie with Wanda Melcer's descriptions of Warsaw in two (2) separate reviews; however, they are from Jan's perspective, and I believe Stef deliberately ascribes to him (szlachta guy not wholly convinced of his own purported progressive beliefs) a POV/language that echoes Melcer's IN ORDER to make, via literary rather than polemical means, the same sociological-psychoanalytic critique that Vogel makes in Przegląd Społeczny

I am reading this right now and would love to read more articles like it - accounts of what people were reading and what was published and what was reviewed where and when!!! This is My Bullshit in the extreme

immediate echolalic template - inverted commas, like vogel's white words, to denote/demarcate a purely utilitarian phrase, so overused as a cliche or discursively circumscribed it had become wholly instrumental and voided of meaning!!! - '"as a survivor" of actual child abuse i have the moral and epistemic authority to tell you to shut the fuck up'

On this day 3 years ago I was reading Debora Vogel at an airport bar

Zbigniew Grabowski in London writing a letter to the Wiadomości editors, uh, very disturbingly full of praise for the "high culture" of the Third Reich in [checks notes] 1938:

Debora Vogel, in her 1934 essay "Ludzkie egzotyki" that also sharply criticizes Wanda Melcer's "Dark Continent -- Warsaw" reportage series for Wiadomości about the Jewish district, opens with this note on Grabowski's glowing review of a recently-published African travelogue, colonialism, and the concept of race:

#interwar polish press tag #dvoyre tag #she never misses!!!!! #my polish colonialism project is becoming paper silva again but listen #i'm right!!!! #the fetishization of High Culture & aesthetics & the ethos of colonialism & reformer thing #your honor i have an autism spectrum disorder and i have read so many newspapers from 1930s poland #not that celine didn't also become a fascist #colonialism & haute 'European' aestheticism...apolitical fatalism...all roads lead to fascism... #Tugging on my Adorno Was Right t-shirt to compile notes for this essay

Anna Pilch once again describing how much Stef's aesthetic-historical system has in common with Vogel's "legenda czasu"
