„Inwentorium śladów”: Schulz w twórczości filmowej i scenicznej anglojęzycznych artystów

Abstrakt

This article probes the multifaceted reception of Bruno Schulz’s work in English-speaking countries, focusing on its influence on film and theater. Drawing on research in periodicals and archives, it reveals obscure cases of his assimilation into this cultural sphere, including student and amateur productions, and sheds new light on the best-known adaptations of his fiction: the Quay Brothers’ animation Street of Crocodiles (1986) and Complicite’s theater production The Street of Crocodiles (1995). It maps out a complex network of reception trajectories, tracing the interconnections between various figures who contributed to Schulz’s visibility abroad, as well as points of contact between the reception of his work by creative artists and other reception circuits (translation and publishing, literary criticism, academic teaching).
