Body/Ciało/Cielesność – o materii w filmach Małgorzaty Szumowskiej
Body/Flesh/Corporeality – the Physical Matter in Małgorzata Szumowska’s Work

Summary/Abstract: One of the main recurring themes in Małgorzata Szumowska’s work is the body shown subjectively as a constitutive element of identity, and objectively as a target of medical procedures, fragmentation, decomposition, autopsy. The director’s attention to the materiality of the body and her pointing at how it is intertwined with physical matter that has its own dynamics and agency encourage us to examine her selected works from the perspective of new materialism represented by Karen Barad, Rosi Braidotti and Roberto Esposito, among others.
