Overcoming the Other in Oneself: Jan Józef Szczepański’s Nasze nie nasze

Barbara Fride (University of Gdańsk)

The article compares two pieces of literary reportage included in Jan Józef Szczepański’s Nasze nie nasze (about Greece, 1975, and Mexico, 1981). In Greece, Szczepański discovers a number of places perceived as alien. In turn, from his description of the expedition to Mexico, and of the encounters with several native tribes (such as religion, beliefs, or rituals), we can learn about an unknown face of Mesoamerica. The comparison of the cultures of Greece and Mexico shows that the categories of „familiar” and „unfamiliar” are interchangeable.
