Formy erotyzmu. Krytyczny potencjał erotyzmu w polskiej poezji współczesnej
The forms of eroticism. Critical potential of eroticism in polish contemporary poetry

Summary/Abstract: The year 1989 is a symbolic turning point in the discourse of sexuality in Poland as well as important moment in history of an erotic as a genre: from the conventionally understood love-themed poem, through vulgar eroticism of the artists associated with ‘bruLion’, to sophisticated usages of convention, which purpose is to exploit critical potential of eroticism and to involve into a socio-political discussions. In the article the author presents the ways of eroticism, sexuality and pornography functioning as forms of resistance in polish contemporary poetry on the example of works by three poets: Jerzy Jarniewicz, Andrzej Sosnowski and Joanna Oparek. The author refers e.g. to the Roland Barthes’ category of the pleasure of the text, Marquis de Sade’s pornogrammar and Georges Bataille’s philosophy. The claim of the author is to show how the contemporary poetry transforms the classical conventions of an erotic for ideological purposes.
