O przymusie i potrzebie powtórzenia w Zapisanym i Spojrzeniu Julii Hartwig
On Compulsion and the Need to Repeat in Zapisane and Spojrzenie of Julia Hartwig

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the late works of Julia Hartwig in the context of the philosophic problems of repetition as approached by Friedrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze, and Jacques Derrida. In the essay an attempt was made to confront the previous readings of the Hartwig’s poetry – which placed it usually within the classicizing and modernistic trends – with the alternative lecture, i.e. using the insights of the theorists of postmodernity and contemporary humanities. The ambivalence, reflected in the title, of the poet’s attitude towards the very repeatedness in the field of literature has been derived not from the philosophic systems, or contemporary concepts of anthropology and literary studies, but directly from the poetics and the ideational layer of the two last books of Hartwig – Zapisane and Spojrzenie – in which it is the iterability that becomes the idiom both of the human existence, perception, or the mechanisms of memory, and the writing poetry as such.
