Атропологія родинної пам’яті і філософія витривалості

Th e article analyses the manuscript of Philip Orlik’s diary (1672–1742). Th e Ukrainian hetman was writing it for twelve years, between 1720 and 1732. Th e author’s focus is Orlik’s autobiography. It is a very important part of the diary and is related to the exile period of his life. Th e diarist had given that chapter a separate title – “Pro memoria. Na cześć i chwałę Bogu w Trojcy Świętej jedynemu Amen” [“Pro Memoria. For the Glory of God in Holy Trinity United Amen”]. Th e purpose of the article is to investigate the anthropology of family memory in the diary as a pledge of the author’s endurance. Orlik perceived the diary as an interlocutor, so there is a peculiar, emotionally sensitive link between the diary and the diarist. Th e diary is characterised by persuasiveness. In order to illustrate it, the author of the article provides quotations from the diary without translation. Th e original language of Orlik’s manuscript is the Old Polish language inlaid with Latin. Th e diarist had put down into the diary copies of the most important letters. He wrote the letters in French and Latin. Th e Polish language was used exclusively in his correspondence with King Stanislav. Th e author analyses the autobiographical note in the context of the diary genre, defi ning it as a model of baroque autobiography that resonates throughout the text of the diary.
