År 2001 antogs jag som doktorand vid Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS) vid Södertörns högskola, där min avhandling handleddes av professor Leonard Neuger (Stockholms universitet) och professor Ebba Witt-Brattström (Södertörns högskola). Jag disputerade 2007 med en avhandling om poeten Anna Świrszczyńska. Efter disputationen återvände jag till Stockholms universitet som lärare och postdoktor.

Special Issue: Jagiellonian Heritage in Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Finland
2022. Ewa Cybulska-Bohuszewicz, Renata Ingbrant. Scando-Slavica 68 (2), 203-212
ArtikelThis special issue of Scando-Slavica is devoted to the Polish-Lithuanian-Swedish-Finnish heritage relating to the Jagiellonian dynasty, and for obvious reasons revolves around the person of Queen Catherine Jagiellon (Polish: Katarzyna Jagiellonka, Lithuanian: Kotryna Jogailaitė, Swedish: Katarina Jagellonica, Finnish: Katariina Jagellonica; 1 November 1526 – 16 September 1583) and her legacy. Articles collected in this issue are the result of the project “Jagiellonian Heritage as a platform for dialogue between Poland and Finland”, financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), carried out between October and December 2020 under the leadership of Ewa Cybulska-Bohuszewicz (Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw) in cooperation with University of Jyväskylä in Finland represented by Susanna Niiranen. The aims of the project were twofold: presenting and promoting the legacy of the Jagiellonians in the Nordic countries and creating a network of researchers from various academic centres in Poland, Sweden, Finland and Lithuania who undertook the task of mapping ongoing research, identifying different historical sources found in national archives and libraries and defining common features in the history and culture of these countries.

THE TRANSGRESSIVE AGENCY OF THE CROSS-DRESSING SOLDIER
2020. Renata Ingbrant. Engendering Transnational Transgressions, 49-65
KapitelThe chapter deals with the history of a woman soldier, a participant of the Polish national insurrection of 1863, Anna Henryka Pustowójtówna (1838–1881). Among the pictographic and historiographical representations of women involved in the combat, the image of Pustowójtówna in a man’s uniform stands out as most iconic, although her legacy today is undecided. The chapter discusses the transgressive agency of the figure of a cross-dressing soldier as well as the emancipatory idea of a citizen-soldier versus the normalizing power of literary convention. It also reflects on the specific position of women heroes in Polish collective in an attempt to understand why Pustowójtówna has been absent from women’s history and feminist discourse of today.

Michalina Wisłocka’s The Art of Loving and the Legacy of Polish Sexology
2020. Renata Ingbrant. Sexuality & Culture
ArtikelThis article discusses the development of Polish sexology as well as the challenges of sex education in Poland in general and the implications of Michalina Wisłocka’s work within the field of adult sex education in particular, both from a historical perspective and against the background of sociopolitical circumstances and the backlash in the sexual politics of today’s Poland. Michalina Wisłocka (1921–2005) is the author of Sztuka kochania [The Art of Loving] from 1978—the most widely read Polish handbook on sex, sexuality and eroticism. Although there has not been a sexual revolution in Poland, the success of the book may be considered revolutionary as it had an enormous impact on sexual awareness among the Poles at least for two decades after its publication. Nowadays, the book is considered groundbreaking as regards its normalizing effect on the language of sex, despite the omnipresence of gender role stereotypes. Even so, the revival of Wisłocka that has been seen in Poland in recent years is quite remarkable because the book appears traditional and largely outdated from today’s perspective. In the context of the postsocialist retraditionalization of sexual politics in Poland, however, the revived interest in Wisłocka seems less ambiguous since it can be perceived both as a sign of backlash and a sign of renewed demand for sexual knowledge and education.

Kobiecy antyświat w poezji Anny Świrszczyńskiej
2018. Renata Ingbrant. Formy (nie)obecnośc, 261-270
KapitelIn Świrszczynska's poems, the perception of the world from an ostentatiously feminine perspective aims at a radical revision of femininity in literature. Świrsczyńska introduces inte her poetry the "outlawed feminine" and, as a result, revolutionises the language of poetry and poetic representation and, as a result her poems become the quintessence of female experience. The re-evaluation of this experience makes her one of the most radical feminist voices in the Polish poetry.

In Search of the New Man
2014. Renata Ingbrant. The Polish Review 59 (1), 35-52
ArtikelThis article is a part of an ongoing study, the purpose of which is to map masculinities under transformation in late nineteenth-century Polish prose, and particularly in the works of Henryk Sienkiewicz, Bolesław Prus, Stefan Żeromski, and Wacław Berent. Drawing on developments taking place in society at that time, the article explores the new types of literary heroes that appear in Polish literature toward the end of the nineteenth century: the decadent antihero, the aristocrat Leon Płoszowski as well as “newcomers” to the capitalist society, the “New Men,” Stanisław Wokulski, Tomasz Judym, and Kazimierz Zaliwski. The article argues that, even though the new models of masculinity that the protagonists represent pose a certain challenge to the prevailing romantic models, the characters remain entrapped in literary conventions that inscribe specific gender roles on literary heroes.

From Her Point of View
2007. Renata Ingbrant (et al.).
Avhandling (Dok)This book is a monograph about Anna Świrszczyńska’s poetry. It may be described as one woman’s attempt to read another woman’s literary work by taking into account established canons as well as the tools of feminist literary analysis. Part One begins with a discussion of Świrszczyńska’s biography (Chapter One). It then moves on to an overview of critical (mainly male) reactions to Świrszczyńska’s work (Chapter Two), with special regard to Czesław Miłosz’s contribution to its interpretation and popularization (Chapter Three). In Part Two there are three principal discussions: 1) of Anna Świrszczyńska’s early work Wiersze i proza [Poems and Prose] (1936), in which the poet develops her specific female view of European art and culture as disintegrated into incongruent fragments. Her premonition of the apocalypse, which is soon to be fulfilled in the events of World War II, finds its expression in the poet’s desperate attempts to unite the fragments of a shattered culture into individualized versions of myths (Chapter Four); 2) of the collection Budowałam barykadę [Building the Barricade] (1974), in which what is most crucial to the poet (biographically and poetically) is expressed – the encounter with human suffering in an inhuman world. Following this, her poetic view of the mortal body exposed to suffering under an empty sky becomes a well established motif in her work (Chapter Five); 3) of the collection Jestem baba (1972), in which Świrszczyńska introduces into poetry, by making the non-poetical “baba” her lyric heroine, the “outlawed feminine” and, as a result, revolutionizes the language of poetry and poetic representation, which leads in turn to liberating herself from the hegemony of the totalizing male gaze. In this way her anti-world is created (Chapter Six). The “world” is understood here as a male term – one might say that Świrszczyńska creates a “woman’s anti-world” as a place where the woman herself has to regain the right to name things according to her own terms.
