Milczenie tekstu – milczenie ciała Włosy i łzy – o Jawnogrzesznicy
Hair and Tears. The Silence of the Text - the Silence of the Body on the Sinful Woman

Summary/Abstract: The first and greatest mystery of cognition: “the presence of the inaccessible:...” (reference to Heidegger) is associated with the task of interpretation, conceived as a quest for that, which is inarticulated in that which is articulated. In this context we propose the method of an exegesis of the text, discovering that about which the text remains silent. And a second, similar mystery: the silence of the body and its inaccessibility for logos. The majority of texts emerging ”from the body” are works of art. See: suitable motifs from the Gospel. An example of the importance of the “inarticulated” in the narration of the text is a detailed analysis of a single famous instance: traces of the Sinful Woman in narrations about ”anointment” as well as a sketched crystallisation of Tradition. The author provides testimonial hypotheses of the “inarticulated” identification of the motif and person of the Sinful Woman, the woman from Bethany and Mary Magdalene.
