The character of alter ego of Ivana Sajko – croatian playwright – in the text a „Bomb Woman“, sends e-mails with a question “What would you do if you had twelve minutes and thirty seconds more?” to her friends and receives twenty-one replies. Among the answers there are eleven male and ten female voices. In my opinion, the proportion between male and female voices may be a significant interpretational clue. Does not it prove that the author aimed at maintaining political correctness in the text? The aim of this paper is to indicate gender inclinations of the contemporary Balcan authors basing on, among others, the following texts: „Bomb Woman“ by Ivana Sajko, „The other letter from 1920“ by Muharem Bazdulj and „Sahib“ by Nenad Veličković. Is not the protagonist’s detonationreferring again to Sajko’s text – on the symbolic level, an attempt to break with the myths of woman-mother and woman-mistress? Moreover, my goal is to demonstrate that the decisions concerning social interactions taken by the characters of the discussed texts, may be explained in psychoanalysis criteria, e.g. Oedipus complex.

The author offers a critical judgment of Lacanian psychoanalysis, pointing out its normativizing aspect. He acknowledges the impossibility of reconciliation of psychoanalytic thought with the theory of radical difference, the example of which is queer, which has been postulated by such scholars as Judith Butler, Lee Edelman or Leo Bersani. As Eribon claims, queer theory constitutes a continuation of (antipsychoanalytic) philosophy of Michel Foucault, and it would be theoretically much more inspiring – Eribon further argues – to try to juxtapose Foucault’s thought with Sartre rather than with Freud or Lacan.

The present article attempts to interpret the poem Wyrok [The Verdict] written by Rafał Wojaczek. The author tries to reveal the rules of the game in the play with psychoanalysis that are set in motion in the poem by the introduction of the Freudian signature to the text. Citing the Oedipus complex as one of the “representative” mechanisms for the development of the phenomenon of unawareness, he proceeds to prove that the theory of psychoanalysis as the interpretative context can function on the principle of the paradox, i.e. the stronger the denial of it within the subject, the more important it becomes for the understanding of the work. In this way, Wojaczek, by making the poem heretically sealed, opens it up to interpretation and, eventually, implies that its sense goes beyond any explanation (negation of psychoanalysis as an interpretative method). This last statement makes the basis for a formulation of further assumptions on the psychical structure of the subject (conscious unawareness and unconscious awareness), as well as the relations between the author, the subject and the lyrical protagonist where the author, after exceeding the limits of the poem, splits himself into two instances: textual representation (that of the father) and the lyrical “I” that is the irrevocable verdict condemning the poet to making them fit into language and grammar. An attempt, then, at salvation and a coupling of the body (blood) with the lingering word turns out, however, to be deadly, a carrying out of the verdict.

This article attempts to prove that Jane White’s novel Quarry is centred around two interrelated allegories: biblical and psychoanalytic. The characters lend themselves to allegorical interpretation either as equivalents of biblical figures or as representations of psychoanalytic concepts. It is argued that the overlapping of the biblical and psycho-analytic allegories produces a radical revision of Freud’s view on religion. Freud believed that all religious behaviour stems from the Oedipus complex; Quarry, this article claims, relates the Oedipus complex not to the origin of faith but to its loss. The article also discusses Quarry’s ideological ambiguity in its attitude towards religion and suggests what this ambiguity derives from.

PL

W niniejszym artykule staram się udowodnić, że powieść Jane White pt. Quarry skoncentrowana jest wokół dwóch powiązanych alegorii: biblijnej oraz psychoanalitycznej. Bohaterów powieści można zinterpretować alegorycznie, bądź to jako odpowiedniki postaci biblijnych, bądź to jako przedstawienia pojęć psychoanalitycznych. Twierdzę też, że nałożenie na siebie alegorii biblijnej oraz psychoanalitycznej prowadzi do radykalnej rewizji poglądów Freuda na religię. Freud wierzył, że zachowania religijne mają swe źródło w kompleksie Edypa; powieść Quarry, jak usiłuję wykazać, wiąże kompleks Edypa nie z pochodzeniem wiary, lecz z jej utratą. W artykule omawiam także ideologiczną dwuznaczność powieści Quarry w odniesieniu do religii oraz czynniki decydujące o tej dwuznaczności.
