Jerzy Andrzejewski – Catastrophes of Body and Rejection of Sublimation

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

The article focuses on an analysis of Jerzy Andrzejewski’s strategy of presenting his own corporality with careful attention directed to his autobiographical texts: “Notatki do autobiografii (1909–1924)” (“Notes to Autobiography <1909–1924>”) and also to the writer’s literary creativity – inter alia to “Ład serca” (“Mode of the Heart”) and “Miazga” (“Pulp”). The body is marked with a “non-normative” desire, and as such becomes the undesirable body. Due to the expression of the desire of sexual receptivity the body falls beyond the order of presentation; it can only be recognised as corpse – repugnant, masochistic, eaten by worms when still alive. Such body, failing to yield the modernist sublimation, becomes a “catastrophic body.”
