„Jeden przez dwa zostało podzielone”. Kobieta jako „inny” w Jeden Marcina Świetlickiego
“One Was Divided into Two.” The Woman As the “Other” in Marcin Świetlicki’s Jeden (One)

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the image of the woman in Marcin Świetlicki’s 2013 volume of poetry entitled Jeden (One), composed of “love stories.” Femininity, for the speaker of the poems being a sort of “otherness” (understood here partly after Paul Ricoeur), presents itself as – on the one hand – a “mirror” for the “I”, and – on the other hand – its indispensable ingredient. This is because Świetlicki’s writing expresses the conviction that identity is as much a “positive” identification as (and maybe even chiefly) an identification done with regard to or through someone or something else. As a result of the constantly recurring necessity and need to distinguishing oneself, the woman seems to be both the condition and determinant of the “I” in Świetlicki’s Jeden.
