    (In)visibles persévérances de l’absence. Les enjeux de la mise en forme dans Les Années d'Annie Ernaux
    (Université Catholique de Lublin Jean-Paul II, Éditions Werset, 2011) Rachwalska von Rejchwald, Jolanta
    A dialectic between presence and absence, remembrance and oblivion, testimony and silence, body and its trace reflects the gist of the most recent Ernaux’es book. It constitutes not only plenteaus thematic confluence, but also or even majorly an axis of the book’s construction. Its structure encompasses various layers such as: rhetorical, stylistic and typographic, which separately and together combined reside in prevailing tensioned coexistence of presence and absence.

    L’Homme-toupie. Le vagabond comme figure de la subversion dans Le Ventre de Paris d’Émile Zola
    (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, Wydawnictwo Werset, 2014) Rachwalska von Rejchwald, Jolanta
    A vagrant, Florent Quenu, serves as a methaphor of the social-political shift that strikes France in the late XIX-th century. Intimidated by the magnitude of change, upon his return Florent wanders the streets, meanders and strolls in circles which casts a horrendous contradiction with the austerity of Hausmann’s new Paris, aligned with omnipresent straight line forms. This geometrical collision of a straight line and a curve is symptomatic of ferocious conflict between the Second Empire and the alternative social model embodied in the Florent’s attitude.
