ТЕЛЕСНОСТЬ И ТЕЛО В ЕССЕ ЧЕСЛАВА МИЛОША “ПРИДОРОЖНАЯ СОБАЧОНКА”
BODY AND CARNALITY IN CZESLAW MILOSZ’S ESSAY "THE ROADSIDE DOG"

Summary/Abstract: The article concentrates on the concept of body in the essay The Roadside Dog (1998) by Czeslaw Milosz, the Nobel Prize winner, considering carnality from the postructuralist perspective of deanthropologisation and subject decentration. The postmodern aesthetics criticizes the traditional representation and focuses on the idea of the subjects death. The subject of the contemporary world cannot be identified to itself. It loses its metaphysical stability and can only be described through reflection, difference and self expression. Its identity can change with every new perception of its own body for it is the body that allows new forms of representation. The used strategy of the text analysis is deconstruction. The author of the article is demonstrating how the variety of evidence of body and carnality can be brought to a unified text deconstruction strategy. This approach allows an unlimited number of text reading versions. The analysis of the important marginal points of the source text leads to weighty results too. However, the article, actually, points at the problem rather than its solution.
