Peryferie ideologii — „patrząc z ukosa” na „Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą” Wojciecha J. Hasa i „Monument” Jagody Szelc

Abstract

The main topic of the article is the use of ideological criticism (as presented by Slavoj Žižek) as a method in comparative analysis of The Hourglass Sanatorium by W.J. Has and The Monument by J. Szelc. The author not only looks for objective determinations of social reality, but also for its hidden forms. The conclusions allow us to see the dynamics of changes in the symbolic orders that implicitly organize the narrative structures of both films. Furthermore, in this perspective they become a diagnosis of the present in the face of Polish “year of dangerous dreams”.
