„Nieprzekraczalna jest bariera ciała”. Ucieleśnienia Adama Ważyka
“Body Barrier Is Impassable.” Adam Ważyk’s Embodiments

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the functions, meanings and motives of body in Adam Ważyk’s writings, revising the existing convictions about its solely textual character connected with awareness (or imagery) and constructivist nature. Reconstructing this Ważyk’s symbolic figure as based on biographical and memorial contexts, the paper attempts to embody the poet and to show the way in which the theme presence/absence of the body mirror Ważyk’s poetical and literary-critical reflections. The author’s considerations focus on Ważyk’s post-war creativity and its processual character, and aims at presenting somaticity as a vital, though carefully hidden, element in the process of transforming one’s own life into literature.
