Doświadczenie erotyczne w literaturze nowoczesnej (na przykładzie utworów wybranych poetek)

Abstract

The article focuses on the corporeal component and erotic experiences in the 20th century female poetry. Selected poems by Małgorzata Hillar and Marzanna Kielar have been subject to anthropological analysis in order to demonstrate the individual dimension of the erotic sphere of life as the indicator of personality and the various ways it can be expressed in poetry. On the basis of textual research it has been concluded that bodily experience underlies the mental and spiritual experience of the subject. Moreover, erotic sensations enriched by the intellectual elements can both bind (intimacy) and divide (sense of separateness) a man and a woman. The language used to describe this experience is corporeal and represented by literary text.
