The aim of the Polish-German research project perform_mem is a critical discussion and re-conceptualisation of theories of literary and artistic testimonial, reconstructive and counterfactual practices which refer back to the formative historical experiences of the 20th century. Its main subject is Polish literature and arts in the European comparative perspective. The project is situated within the interdisciplinary field of performance and memory studies whose methodology draws from analytic tools of literary theories and practices, as well as media and performative arts in order to put into question traditional theoretical dichotomies. Our starting point is a search for a new definition of relationships between literature and other arts and historical experiences. This goal has political, epistemological and aesthetic aspects and it is much needed because of the recent growth of popularity of both documentary and mockdocumentary genres as well as of counterfactual narratives. In order to investigate the problem of historical experiences in literature and performative arts it is necessary to connect three theoretical perspectives which embrace three interconnected aspects of experiencing, testifying and re/presenting history. On the one hand, testimonial, reconstructive as well as counterfactual strategies take up the problem of the contingency of history, cultural memory and oblivion, and medial virtuality of culture; on the other hand, each of these strategies does it in a different manner. Both testimonial and reconstructive strategies employ the body/corporeality as a main source of (ethical, epistemological) resistance to the contingency, cultural forgetting and medial virtuality. Counterfactual strategies, on the contrary, address contingency, oblivion and medial simulacra referring to imagination and the technical means of manipulating the message, thus subverting documentary practices and aesthetics. The research on testimonial strategies focuses on a) testimonial strategies in Polish literature of the interwar period, b) performativity and intermediality of testimony and post-testimony in post-memorial culture. The research on reconstructive strategies includes: a) performative repetitions of (images) of history in art and social life; b) corporeal practices and corporeal memories and its material manifestations -- focusing on the history of the Polish workers movement and its performative practices. In the field of counterfactual strategies, the most significant task is to work out methodological tools to analyze the performative aspect of self-reflexive artworks and artistic phenomena, particularly: a) novels, films and computer games which offer an alternative version of history; b) films, television shows and biographies that use paradocumentary and mockdocumentary conventions.

波兰-德国研究项目perform_pronunciation的目的是对文学和艺术的证明、重建和反事实实践理论进行批判性讨论和重新概念化，这些实践可以追溯到20世纪的形成性历史经验。它的主要主题是欧洲比较视野中的波兰文学和艺术。该项目位于表演和记忆研究的跨学科领域，其方法来自文学理论和实践的分析工具，以及媒体和表演艺术，以质疑传统的理论二分法。我们的出发点是寻找文学与其他艺术和历史经验之间关系的新定义。这一目标具有政治，认识论和美学方面，它是非常需要的，因为最近的增长流行的纪录片和mockdocumentary体裁以及反事实的叙述。为了研究文学和表演艺术中的历史经验问题，有必要将三个理论视角联系起来，这三个理论视角包括体验历史、证明历史和再现历史三个相互关联的方面。一方面，证明性、重构性和反事实性的策略处理历史的偶然性、文化记忆和遗忘以及文化的媒介虚拟性问题;另一方面，这些策略中的每一种都以不同的方式处理这个问题。证明和重建的策略都采用身体/身体现实作为（伦理，认识论）抵抗偶然性，文化遗忘和媒介虚拟性的主要来源。相反，反事实策略则处理偶然性、遗忘和媒介拟像，即想象和操纵信息的技术手段，从而颠覆了纪录片的实践和美学。证词策略的研究主要集中在两次世界大战之间波兰文学中的证词策略，B）后纪念文化中证词和后证词的表演性和中介性。关于重建策略的研究包括：a）艺术和社会生活中历史（图像）的表演性重复; B）身体性实践和身体性记忆及其物质表现----侧重于波兰工人运动的历史及其表演性实践。在反事实策略领域，最重要的任务是制定方法论工具来分析自我反思艺术作品和艺术现象的表演方面，特别是：a）小说，电影和电脑游戏，提供了一个替代版本的历史; B）电影，电视节目和传记，使用paradocumentary和mockdocumentary惯例。
