LXX}, number={No 3}, pages={507-521}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2021}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={The myth of the wanderings by Odysseus seems to be one of the most sought‑after among the protagonists of world literature. Odysseus’s nostalgia became the standard within a sense of longing for an abandoned homeland, home, past, paradise lost, and here for exiles and immigrants of different eras and countries, mentally united through the prism of Western culture. Odysseus is a versatile and rather contradictory type of personality, one that corresponds to the spirit of the latest transitional era. The specific psychosphere of an immigrant is focused in its archetypal layer on the myth of Odysseus. Modern immigrant poets include in their lyrical discourse the image of the long‑suffering Odysseus as a nostalgic eaten up by longing and the personification of an extraordinary mind. Odysseus is an equivalent figure for the transitional era and the paradoxical consciousness of an immigrant, which is intensified by Odysseus ambiguity and the tendency that arises as to various possibilities for reading the image: in the aspect of nostalgic, spiritual victory, ironization and carnival.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Discursive Contexts of Image of an Odysseus‑nostalgic}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121257/PDF-MASTER/2021-03-SOR-03-Fokina.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2021.138190}, keywords={Odysseus, nostalgia, immigrant, trickster, modern poets, Western culture}, }
