Ludzie-odpady i śmietnik kapitalizmu w książkach Siła niższa (full hasiok) i Nie Konrada Góry
“Human Waste” and the Dumpsite of Capitalism in Konrad Góra’s Siła niższa (full hasiok) and Nie Poetry Books

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of waste and trash in the poetic volumes Nie [Them] and Siła niższa (full hasiok) [The Lower Force (Full Trash)] by Konrad Góra. Zygmunt Bauman’s “human waste” category and present-day class inequalities are the starting point for the interpretation. In particular, the linguistic and formal shaping of the discussed volumes and the ways of representing Baumanian “human wasteˮ are analysed. The language and materiality of Siła niższa are compared to a “dumpsiteˮ conceived of as a space of expression of individuals excluded from global dialogue. Nie is discussed as a non-subjective representation of a catastrophe devoid of witnesses, which bears signs of the essence of all destructive phenomena of late capitalism.
