简介

Over the years, Bożena Shallcross’ research interests have evolved from the focus on the verbal-visual interrelationship (Shadow and Form: On the Visual Imagination of Leopold Staff; Through the Poet’s Eye: The Travels of Zagajewski, Herbert, and Brodsky) through interrogating national and ethnic identities, in particular, those manifested in diverse modes of habitation (Framing the Polish Home: The Postwar Literary and Cultural Constructions of Hearth, Nation, and Self) to a discourse on objects and material culture as exemplified in her monograph The Holocaust Object in Polish and Polish-Jewish Culture. Currently, she is working on another book-length study, tentatively entitled Destination Auschwitz: Post-Holocaust Objects, Materialities, nd the Question of Authenticity.
