„Nasz zdrowy świat nie chce świata choroby…” O bólu i cierpieniu w reportażach Wojciecha Tochmana

Abstract

The article presents considerations on the staggering picture of the world and tragedies of ordinary people which are depicted in the works of the most eminent contemporary reporter — Wojciech Tochman. He is the author whose texts abound in suffering and loneliness of a single man, which bring chaos to the orderly life of a reader. The analysed reportages are about the people who are unable to talk on their own about everyday distress due to their rare disfunctions. The text will be an attempt to draw the boundaries of human suffering. Moreover, it will also seek an answer to the questions whether there exists social approval consent for suffering these days or whether the illness discourse still encounters lack of acceptance. The starting point for the analysis will be the early works of Wojciech Tochman included in the following publications: “Schodów się nie pali” and “Wściekły Pies”.
