This study specifies three forms of autobiographical writing: the prose by Jana Bodnárová’s takmer neviditeľná (almost invisible, 2008), whose title (beginning with a lowercase letter) suggests the dissolution of the subject in fragments from her past and present life; the hybrid “novel” by Katarína Kucbelová Čepiec (2019; The Bonnet, 2024), in which the autobiographical line is one of its many layers; and Michaela Rosová’s novella Tvoja izba (Your room, 2019), both revealing and concealing hidden layers of the self. Through the texts in question and secondary literature, the article documents not only the revitalization of autobiographical approaches in Slovak women’s writing after 2000, but also the reinforcement of its fictionalization.

The article offers an interpretation of Malé veľké mesto ([Little big city] 2008), the third book of poetry/long poem by the contemporary Slovak poet and writer Katarína Kucbelová (1979), the author of four books of poetry and a novella. From the point of view of poetics, Malé veľké mesto is a transitional text, a breaking point in the development of the author’s style. The book embodies a change towards a more concrete way of expression and contains topics, motives and language typical of Kucbelová’s later works. The article tackles two mutually intertwined aspects of the poem – the city and the subject. The central principle of the poem is the projection of the subject into the time and space. The city (specified as Bratislava) can be analysed from the point of view of urban studies as outlined by Olivier Mongin – through his theses on the urban situation and various forms of flows in the city and the creation of bonds with it. The issue of identity that is intimately connected with the city is read on the background of various forms the speaking subject in Katarína Kucbelová’s poetry takes. In her early work, the subject focuses on biological and physical traits, later she moves onto the analysis of her individualised experience complex and, finally, in her fourth book of poetry Vie, čo urobí ([He knows what he will do] 2012), the subject turns her attention to the society. A discussion of Malé veľké mesto illustrates the gradual abandonment of the fragmented (non)subject bearing traces of postmodernist subjectivity and a move towards a more decisive delineation of the boundaries of an individual.

The article focuses on the second book of poetry by Katarína Kucbelová (b. 1979) Šport ([Sport] 2006). The collection portrays the world as an ongoing process which transforms everything – living and inanimate, abstract and concrete. The processual character of the world in Sport focuses specifically on the body. The reading outlined in the article handles processuality in connection with themes, motifs, and philosophy of life, deriving the essential points of thinking about corporeality from phenomenology. Since Kucbelová’s poetry often refers to the principles of visual and conceptual art, a similar interpretive procedure can be applied to the reading of her writing: her poems connote various spheres of life and in the creative process she combines these into a more or less unified thought world. Interpretive directions thus variously rely on the idea of processuality and develop it artistically: these encompass such areas as conceptual art, phenomenology, meditation, biology, or somatic aesthetics. Broadly, these insights can be applied to the author’s first three books of poetry, which can be laboriously described as a processual trilogy, since they all manifest an approach to the various spheres of life as processes.
