Steam engine as a medium of longing. "Podróż do Ziemi Świętej z Neapolu" by Juliusz Słowacki

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present a poetry of Juliusz Słowacki by using media theory as a framework. The author investigates the experience of poets journey by a steamboat in Podróż do Ziemi Świętej z Neapolu. In this poem the poet applied the organic metaphors to describe the machine. According to Siegfried Zielinski the author claims that it can be understood as an attempt to domesticate the new and strange machine and inscribe it in the cultural order as something natural. It warrants the new approach to the romantic notion of machines.
