W centrum rozważań w niniejszym artykule znajduje się powieść Siomga i zawarte w niej proby rekonstrukcji kobiecej tożsamości na gruncie postkolonialno-posttotalitarnej rzeczywistości ukraińskiej. Autorka odwołuje się do koncepcji somatekstu, feminizmu korporalnego oraz ukraińskiej wersji herstory.

The Author analyses Sophia Andrukhovych’s novel ‘Siomga’ (2007) – the story of the leading character, Sofi ja (the author gave the protagonist her own name) is based in large part on body memory. A young woman, whose fi rst experiences with her own carnality and sexuality occur during the years of the political turn, recounts the events of childhood and adolescence, and her world is ruled by emotions and feelings. In her memories, Andrukhovych’s protagonist evokes the images of sexual violence against women and children and the story itself ends with the dismemberment of her body by a man who craved her viscera. Through the act of depraving of the body the author expressed the inability to reconstruct one’s own identity in the Ukrainian postmodern, post-colonial and post-totalitarian reality. The novel can be analysed not only from the perspective of post-colonial and post-totalitarian studies but also within the framework of corporeal feminism.

The article presents an application of Elizabeth Grosz’s corporeal feminism to the interpretation of Język korzyści by Kira Pietrek. The emphasis is put on how the subjectivity and fleshliness of poetic characters are constructed. The key issues of the feminist identity discourse focus on redefining the categories of subject and flesh as well as going beyond the mind-body and subject-object oppositions. Pietrek uses and, at the same time, exposes and ridicules schemes and clichés to reconstruct patriarchal reality. Research problems concern insufficient characterization of the subject’s “materiality”, which is connected with the adoption of solutions that go beyond Grosz’s theoretical considerations.
