The very relation between possibility of writing and sensitivity is a main concern of this interpretation of Miron Białoszewski’s poetry. At the start, I notice traumatic state of writing subjectivity, which I see as a negative affect. Białoszewski’s trauma manifests itself as an acedia in the Leżenia poetry cycle, in which the poet searches for another, positive affective simulation as well. He finds it in the very work of language, of sounds, and of material reality surrounding him. As he tries to revive himself and his writing mainly through the senses of touching and hearing/listening, I use the model of subjectivity described by Jean-Luc Nancy in the essay On listening,  to understand how creative, writing subjectivity works on sensual and language levels.

In this article I try to show the changing paradigm of romantic expressionism in late modernity. I concentrate on the category of text, which I describe using literature: Bolesław Leśmian’s tale The Adventures of Sindbad the Sailor and a fragment of James Joyce’s Ulysses, as well as theoretical discourses by Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy. I am interested first and foremost in the problem of the arbitrary nature of the bond between heart and word, affect and language. I find this problem to be the core of the possibility of thinking about literary creativity, especially its inventive, poetical potention. I try to explain how affect and language meet in the category of textuality and how modern subjectivity can cope with its basic conflict, which lies in the demand of opening and closing itself to the affective experience of otherness.

Rescue or about poetry despite trauma. Affection, imagination and community in Czeslaw Milosz’s works in the 40s. In the sketch, I try to highlight the uniqueness of thinking about creative passion and poetry of Czeslaw Milosz, especially the practical implementation of his worldview in the volume of Rescue. On the one hand I attempt to capture the development of Milosz’s reflection and artistic creation from late 30s to early 50s, by showing how he has struggled with two tendencies: transparency stemming from his left-wing youth and designed to enable communication with the community of ordinary people and maintenance of vivid imagination, in which manifests the indefinite affect of artisitic creation, the vital force. The second trend of his work in a particular way becomes present in Rescue, so that the poet has already at the time of war created a formula for going through trauma in order to allow the return to life, to sensory and diverse reality, as well as ethical opening to another human being.

This essay presents a polemic against the anthropology of literature. The author examines the relation between the ethics of interpretation and the discourse of the anthropology of literature as well as cultural studies. She also shows theoretical conditions under which a textual subject appears to be weak and passive and thus becomes just a field in which a researcher can inscribe various cultural identities. In this way a researcher tries to restitute the subject after its poststructural “death”, but he/she might do that only by mediation through social and cultural identities, which he/she actually examines. On the practical level this entanglement causes a situation in which writers and artists create works that fulfill institutional expectations. It would be therefore necessary to establish to what extent an anthropological approach towards a text enables us to invent new models of subjectivity. Without this it would be difficult to consider literary/cultural studies to be a truly critical discipline based on independent, yet collaborative reflection to be found in theoretical and artistic texts alike.

The article presents a constellation of poets who in the 1950s and 1960s of the 20th c. expressed their protest by means of extreme personalization of their poetic voice: an exposure of their – primarily corporeal – intimacy. Their poetry is compared with the theory of Julia Kristeva whose concept of “revolution in poetic language” appeared at the similar time and – similarly – was intended for support of the potentially subversive work of language. As it turns out, strategies for negation encompassed in the poetry of S. Grochowiak, R. Wojaczek, A. Bursa or S. Czycz solidify death drive and trauma and, as a result, negation is not transformed. Such transformation, however, does happen in the poetry of Halina Poświatowska whose creative subjectivity is open to various affects and sensual experiences, which shows itself in her poetic language: metaphorical and vivid. It is such a poetic language, which expresses its aesthetic autonomy in a positive way, that finally opens up the aesthetic emancipatory potential.

THE BELATED SENSUALITY AND NEW SENSIBILITY (ABOUT SUSAN SONTAG’S AGAINST INTERPRETATION AND OTHER ESSAYS) The article discusses early essayistic writing of Susan Sontag, mainly the well-known and influential essays Against interpretation, On style, Notes on ‘Camp’, and One culture and new sensibility. The author looks at the evolution of Sontag’s aesthetic assumptions, especially at the way her initial praise of Modernism developed into categories of Post-modernism. Interestingly, all the time Sontag’s thought went along the lines of avant-garde thinking. The author also looks at the way Sontag’s aesthetic assumptions translated into her literary criticism on the basis of her essays and reviews about the French culture of 1950s and 1960s.
