Ciało cierpiące i ontologiczne strzępy człowiecze w Śnie srebrnym Salomei Juliusza Słowackiego

Abstract

The article relates to the issue of the suffering body in Juliusz Słowacki’s drama Sen srebrny Salomei. The first and the second part of the article are dedicated to the description of the main drama characters who are media of supernatural reality, and the analysis of the co‑ existing worlds of human beings and spirits. The third part includes the interpretation of the ‘poetics of macabre’ and ‘theater of pain’, the phenomenon of vivisection and the ontology of ‘human remains’. The author reads Słowacki’s drama through the prism of Michel Henry’s philosophy of existence.
