Czyż może istnieć poezja niemelancholijna?

Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

The text is a review of Melancholia w poezji polskiej po 1989 roku, a book by Alina Świeściak (Kraków: Universitas, 2011). Hoffmann positions the work in the broader panorama of Polish humanistic studies on melancholy which intensified around the turn of the century and are still relevant today. For Świeściak melancholy is not only an array of meanings surrounding a gap, emptiness and mortality in contemporary poetry (among others by Różewicz, Krynicki, Dycki, Kielar, Sosnowski), but it is also a figure that enables reflection on the notions of corporality or sight. The review makes an attempt to reconstruct these key concepts and to inquire about the limits of the notion of melancholy and questions the book's silence of Marcin Świetlicki's poetry. Le texte est une critique de la dissertation d’Alina Świeściak Melancholia w poezji polskiej po 1989 roku (Kraków: Universitas, 2011). Le livre s’inscrit dans le panorama des études polonaises dans le domaine de lettres sur la mélancolie, intensifiées autour du tournant du millénaire et qui durent jusqu’aujourd’hui. Pour Świeściak la mélancolie n’est pas uniquement un ensemble des significations qui encerclent la brèche, le vide, la mortalité dans la poésie contemporaine (entre autres Różewicz, Krynicki, Dycki, Kielar, Sosnowski) mais également une figure permettant d’englober dans la réflexion la catégorie de corporalité ou de vue. L’auteur du texte cherche à reconstruire ces points nodaux, il pose la question sur les frontières de la notion et sur l’absence de la poésie de Marcin Świetlicki dans l’étude.
