Tadeusz Różewicz’s Love Discourse

Summary/Abstract: One of the fundamental problems of Tadeusz Różewicz’s poetry is the issue of resistance offered by the experience of the body’s existence, its suffering and desire to the institution of literature. Power and violence of literature make up Różewicz’s “totalitarian” order, which needs to be disrupted by a tough work inside the discourse, and which breaks the determined conventions of expression. This gesture of emancipaton by the author of Anxiety is reflected in The Soul, in which the borders between genres and literary types are blurred. The text under consideration is a textual hybrid in which the language of desire is freed by the death of a beloved woman and subject set exclusively against the absent lover. Różewicz’s text depicts an irreducible dimension of desire. Writing becomes a stage for expression of both the painful loss and of longing for eternally dragged away and impossible presence.
