Description
Summary:The presented research focuses on issues related to the depiction of intangible works of art in Old Polish literature. The discussion centres on 17th-century memoir writing, exploring both its possibilities and its genre-specific limitations. The study examines descriptions of dance included in the itinerary of Stefan Pac, who accompanied Prince Władysław Vasa on his grand tour. Based on an analysis of passages detailing both the artistic dance-theater performances witnessed by the entourage and the social gatherings where participants engaged in utilitarian-social dances, a schema for constructing a typical description of this form of movement, as recorded in Pac’s diary, is identified. Each component of this description is subjected to further reflection.
