Abstracts

EN

The essay provides a new reading of the debut collection of poems by the experimental poet and conceptual artist Nóra Ružičková (b. 1977). After outlining the way the feminist thought entered Slovak academic and literary discourse in the 1990s, the article conducts a Lacanian reading of chosen elements of the poet’s first collection of poems Mikronauti ([Micronauts] 1998). The essay starts from a reading of several of Ružičková’s poems published in the Slovak (and Czech) feminist periodical Aspekt (1993 – 2004) in 1997 and then moves on to discussing the way the collection was read through the prism of feminist theory (Hélène Cixous and her concept of écriture féminine). The article then provides a close reading of a poem addressing the issue of women’s writing. The last section of the essay discusses the research of the body and the subject with regards to interiority and exteriority and the visual means of expression in Lacan (topology) and Ružičková who also illustrated her collection of poems. In its concluding remarks, the essay proposes to conceptualise Ružičková’s writing as research-based poetry.
