Moving beyond Dualism. Constructing Subjectivity and Fleshliness in Kira Pietrek’s Język korzyści

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an application of Elizabeth Grosz’s corporeal feminismto the interpretation of Język korzyści by Kira Pietrek. The emphasis is put on howthe subjectivity and fleshliness of poetic characters are constructed. The key issuesof the feminist identity discourse focus on redefining the categories of subject andflesh as well as going beyond the mind-body and subject-object oppositions. Pietrekuses and, at the same time, exposes and ridicules schemes and clichés to reconstructpatriarchal reality. Research problems concern insufficient characterization of thesubject’s “materiality”, which is connected with the adoption of solutions that gobeyond Grosz’s theoretical considerations.
