Solidarność rozszerzona. O feministycznej lekturze Czarnych słów Anny Świrszczyńskiej
Extended Solidarity: A Feminist Reading of Anna Świrszczyńska’s Czarne Słowa

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses selected reading strategies of Anna Świrszczyńska’s poetry, and Czarne Słowa [Black words] (1967) in particular, a collection which, in my reading, presents the intersections between gender, race and class. The a historical category of gender, which is dominant in the reading of Świrszczyńska’s poetry, is what obscures the complex image of social relations that emerges from her works. Employing feminist theories of social reproduction, I argue that the situation of women presented in Czarne Słowa not only differs from the one shown in Jestem baba [I am a woman] but also reveals Świrszczyńska’s ethical project, to which I refer as extended solidarity.
