Agata TUSZY\u0143SKA<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Piotr PAZI\u0143SKI<\/a>, two prominent voices from the world of Polish contemporary literature whose work has been published in foreign languages, will be in conversation with\u00a0Ma\u0142gorzata SMOR\u0104G-GOLDBERG<\/a>\u00a0(Paris IV Sorbonne) in an exploration of Bruno SCHULZ’s heritage, the way he remains a permanent feature in the literary landscape, how he reinvented himself and the transformation which he underwent. The authors will also be discussing their own work.\u00a0

+++\u00a0PRACTICAL INFORMATION<\/a>

Bruno SCHULZ<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the most important voices of Polish literature from the interwar period. He discovered his own unique way of describing the Jewish world, of bringing its souls and reminiscences to life, and of freeing it from its material contingencies. His impact on later generations of writers is undeniable. Seventy years after his death, as his work is entering the public domain, Bruno SCHULZ continues to fascinate, both as an author and a character: the entirety of his oeuvre has been retranslated into French (by Alain VAN CRUGTEN); his correspondence has just appeared in Dutch (by Kris VAN HEUCKELOM and Andr\u00e9 ROOSEN); the German writer Max BILLET published\u00a0Im Kopf von Bruno Schulz<\/em>; in 2015 the Belgian writer Alain VAN CRUGTEN issued a play entitled\u00a0Bruno Schulz ou La Grande H\u00e9r\u00e9sie<\/em>, etc. \u00a0
The two writers we have invited,\u00a0Agata TUSZY\u0143SKA<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Piotr PAZI\u0143SKI<\/a>, are both among his heirs, and both have been translated into French (Agata TUSZY\u0143SKA has also been translated into English). With them,\u00a0Ma\u0142gorzata SMOR\u0104G-GOLDBERG<\/a>\u00a0(Paris IV Sorbonne), a leading expert on Schulz, will explore the expression of Schulz\u2019s legacy, its permanence, how it has been reinvented and transformed. Is there such a thing as Schulzian literature? Is there such a thing as Polish Jewish literature? \u00a0

Agata TUSZY\u0143SKA<\/strong>\u00a0(1957) is a theatre expert, literary historian, poet and literary reporter. \u00a0She will pay particular attention to female figures, providing us with elaborate portraits\u00a0 (Maria Wisnowska, Irena Krzywicka, Wiera Gran, J\u00f3zefina Szeli\u0144ska). The literature which she produces is marked by the notion of memory and the problems it raises (forgetting, shame, transformations of which one is not aware, manner in which we help it to continue to exist, etc.). The Holocaust is a significant element here, and TUSZY\u0143SKA does not hesitate to add a personal touch to her work by exploring the link between the Holocaust and her family history. Translated into more than 10 languages, she has enjoyed some success in French, notably with her novels \u2013 published by Grasset & Fasquelle \u2013\u00a0Une histoire familiale de la peur<\/em>\u00a0(2006),\u00a0Exercices de la perte<\/em>\u00a0(2009),\u00a0L’Accus\u00e9e : Wiera Gran<\/em>\u00a0(2011) and\u00a0La fianc\u00e9e de Bruno Schulz<\/em>\u00a0(2015) which made the shortlist for the Femina and Medicis prizes for foreign literature in 2015.

Piotr PAZI\u0143SKI<\/strong>\u00a0(1971) is a journalist, essayist, literary critic and translator of English.\u00a0 He is the editor of the Jewish review\u00a0Midrasz<\/em>. He has written about James Joyce and penned two novels:\u00a0Pensjonat<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Ulice ptasie<\/em>, two books on the duty of remembering and researching ones roots.\u00a0Pensjonat,<\/em>\u00a0whcih received the European Union Prize for Literature in 2009 and the Paszport Polityki Prize the following year (equivalent to the Prix Rossel in French-speaking Belgium), was published in 2016 by Gallimard under the title\u00a0Pension de Famille<\/em>. Pazinski is considered to be the best Polish Jewish author to emerge from the third generation after the Holocaust.\u00a0Pension de famille<\/em>\u00a0has already been translated into Czech, German and Serbian.
