Opis:
In this article entitled Oksana Robski’s (Not Only) Literary Projects we would liketo briefly present the figure of Oksana Robski, an author of romance novels whois not very well known in Poland, but is very popular in Russia. The collapse ofthe Soviet Union resulted in commercialization of Russian literature, which,among other things, made some writers use various publicity stunts. Among suchstunts, conceiving the so-called “literary projects” comes to the fore. Robski, whoturned her name into a brand, is a prime example here. The writer is associatedwith both sale of colour magazines, luxury furniture or perfumes, as well as withwriting popular romance novels. In order to create the appropriate media image,Robski distorts her own biography and freely talks in the media about her relationshipswith men. However, her popularity is mostly due to the fact that sheknows first-hand the life of Russian oligarchs who are protagonists of her works.Thanks to Oksana Robski’s novels, ordinary Russians have the opportunity to fictionallyvisit residences of the Russian business elite.

Opis:
This article analyzes selected short stories in Cecelia Ahern’s thirty-narrative collection Roar (2018) to see how (and with what losses or gains) the perspectives of posthuman and postfeminist critique can be incorporated via the common dystopic umbrella into the mainstream female readership of romance literature. The dystopic worlds created by Ahern in Roar portray inequality and power imbalances with regard to gender and sex. The protagonists are mostly middle-aged women whose family and personal lives are either regulated by dystopic realities or acquire a “dystopic” dimension, the solutions to which are provided by, among other tropes, “posthuman” transformations. Roar introduces other-than-human elements, mostly corporeal alterations, in which the female bodies of Ahern’s characters become de-formed and re-formed beyond androcentric systems of value. The article raises the question of whether feminist and, to some extent, “posthuman” (speculative) approaches, need to be (and indeed should be) popularized in such an abridged way as Ahern does in her volume. The answer depends upon the identification of the target audience and their expectations. Ahern’s Roar represents popular literature intended to be sold to as many readers as possible, regardless of their education, state of knowledge, etc. Viewed from that perspective, what some critics could perceive as the collection’s structural weaknesses constitutes its utmost marketing asset. The essay argues that despite not being a structurally innovative work of art, Ahern’s book fulfils the basic requirements of the popular fiction genre, intermittently providing some extra, literary gratification and popularizing rudimentary elements of the posthuman and postfeminist thought.
