Summary/Abstract: The text is an analysis based on literary studies, anthropology and philosophy. It deals with Witold Gombrowicz's Pornography. The writer arranges his views around the 'body' category, making significant culture diagnoses. Viewed in axiological perspective, body appears to be a centrifugai force, powerful enough to question values. However, it is not just an obscure natural element using instincts. It is also a culture construct. Witold Gombrowicz skeptically depicts "idea wcielona" (the idea incamated), emphasizing its human dimension and content.
