Discussions and Polemics: Ofelia’s Third Face [re: K. Czeczot: „Ofelizm. Romantyczne zawłaszczenia, feministyczne interwencje”]

Summary/Abstract: The following analysis of Katarzyna Czechot’s book „Ofelizm. Romantyczne zawłaszczenia, feministyczne interwencje” [Ophelism. Romantic appropriations, feminist interventions], published in 2016, is a chronological record of ophelic images proposed by this gender studies researcher. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate Czeczot’s dialogue with the traditional representations of Shakespeare’s tragic female figure. In the review the author pays attention to the subversive potential of the subsequent chapters of the work. The portrayals of a female, and sometimes feminized, body, which are linked together by an “ophelic code”, are often interpreted as a certain kind of medium of social revolutions, of changes in human expectations and desires.
