The idea of the "Łódzkie wykłady z poetyki" series was born in March 2018. That was when we hosted Olga Tokarczuk at the Faculty of Philology. The later winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature gave three lectures at the University of Lodz, the record of which was included in "Czuły Narrator" [The Tender Narrator] – the first book by the prose writer published after receiving the prestigious award from the Swedish Academy.
 



"Łódzkie Wykłady z Poetyki" returned to the building of the faculty after a pandemic break in April 2022. This time, those interested had the opportunity to listen to Andrzej Stasiuk and Monika Sznajderman. The speakers during the three consecutive meetings talked, among other things, about: issues of memory in relation to one's own life and work

Mariusz Szczygieł, the guest of this year's edition of the series, is a recognised Polish journalist, a reporter and a writer, as well as a former academic lecturer. Among his achievements he has several prestigious awards – he won the "Nike" Literary Award (2019) and the Grand Press Award (2013) given to the best Polish journalists.


The meetings planned for March, April and May will be open to all those interested. In addition to a 45-minute speech by the guest, the adopted formula of the event assumes a half-hour conversation with the person conducting the meeting and the possibility of asking questions by the audience. Moderators: Dr Maciej Robert (Dom Literatury w Łodzi) and Dr Izabella Adamczewska-Baranowska (Department of Theory of Literature at the University of Lodz).
