O metapoetyckich aspektach dotyku (głównie) w Sadzie rozstajnym Bolesława Leśmiana AB - The Touch of Metaphor. On Metapoetic Aspects of Touch (Mainly) in Sad rozstajny (Bifurcated Orchard) by Bolesław Leśmian The text is an attempt to widen the study field dealing with the senses in the world implied by the poetry of Bolesław Leśmian by including the so far neglected aspect of the essential role of touch in creating this world. The metapoetic reflection, inscribed in poems coming mainly from Leśmian’s first volume and being often the source and part of their plot, suggests the integral relation between the process of metaphorization (or, process of realizing a metaphor) and acting through touch in the presented reality. Thus understood, touch does not, however, constitute a simple metaphor of a creative act; rather, it problematizes the very (im)possibility of going beyond the “tangible” materiality of the text. The interpretations carried out make it possible to visualize a specific – poetic – modality of touch, which is close to caress – as defined by Lévinas. In the face of the literary “reflexiveness” of that sense, the poem touches upon the non-literary reality like a shadow portending that which is not yet present.   VL - 2016 IS - Numer 3 (29) 2016: Szymborska – po latach PY - 2017 SN - 1897-1962 C1 - 2084-395X SP - 75 EP - 92 DO - 10.4467/2084395XWI.16.021.6405 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/wieloglos/artykul/dotyk-metafory-o-metapoetyckich-aspektach-dotyku-glownie-w-sadzie-rozstajnym-boleslawa-lesmiana KW - Bolesław Leśmian KW - język poezji nowoczesnej KW - metafora KW - dotyk KW - sensualność literatury
