Z problematyki relacji rzeczy – ludzie w Starym motywie Jerzego Jankowskiego

The article focuses on the issue of the relationship between people and things as well as the need for human autonomy in Jerzy Jankowski’s Stary motyw – a border work between the Young Poland and the Futurist periods observed in the author’s literary biography. The methodology of the analysis is based on the relation model proposed by Marek Krajewski. The results of the analysis are compared with the futurists’ views on the theme in question to indicate the elements in which Jankowski’s views come close to the later proposals of poets associated with this trend.
