Eros and Tanathos Made of Meat. The Motif of Rotting Corpses and Brutal Sex in Poetry by Jiří Karásek of Lvovice

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the lyric works by one of the most prominent Czech decadent poets, Jiří Karásek of Lvovice. The author of the study has concentrated on the way in which the poet was breaking taboo – for many years his poems were censored. One of the frequent motifs appearing in his creativity was rotting corpses. He also does not spare his readers descriptions of brutal sex, in which the bodies of the lovers are compared to meat torn apart into pieces by sexual intercourse. For the purpose of thorough analysis, the author has used concepts derived from psychoanalysis and philosophy.
