Abstracts

Miron Bialoszewski's poems published in his famous debut-making collection 'Obroty rzeczy' have been read within the context of an idyll-of-self tradition (a concept by Renato Poggioli), that is, an idyll of privacy, its variety being an 'idyll of one's own room', the locus amoenus of the Stalinist age. Sacralisation of the ordinary, being characteristic to Bialoszewski, is a uniqueness of things ordinary, interpreted by the author not in terms of a Freudian 'unheimliche der Gewöhnlichkeit' but as a category of the ordinary, within the meaning established by Stanley Cavell. Such an 'ordinariness' is represented in epiphany scenes where the most ordinary things appear. Bialoszewski's poetry is an idyll of being, as such.
