Powrót na wieś. Projektowanie żydowskiej utopii w cyklu wierszy Dorf Racheli H. Korn
Return to the countryside. Devising the Jewish utopia in Rachel H. Korn’s collection of verse Dorf

Summary/Abstract: The article’s focus is on the role of the place of birth in the process of building the socio-political project concerning the Jewish countryside utopia in Rachel Korn’s poetry, in particular in her Yiddish-language debut collection entitled Dorf. On the one hand, the project involves the sensual and corporal rooting of an individual in the landscape and the ensuing bond between nature and the person, while on the other it points to the meaning of relations to human existence. The purpose of the analysis is to discover why the poetess, already living outside the village where she was born, returns to it in her works and creates an image of it based on reminiscences and imagination, and to see what the consequences of such relocated perspective are.
