Test, költészet, pszichoanalízis. József Attila utolsó poétikai kísérlete
Body, Poetry, Psychoanalysis: József Attila’s Final Poetic Experiment

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the emergence of a possible “poetics of the body” in József Attila’s writings from 1936–1937. Drawing on his 1936 experimental prose text A List of Free Associations in Two Sessions and his psychoanalytic commentary Neurotic Speculations, which engages with Sándor Ferenczi’s bioanalytic theories, the paper argues that, in József Attila’s late poetics, the body is not merely a thematic object but a performative and self-producing linguistic event. Bodily processes, trauma and repetition disrupt both the apparent coherence of the lyrical subject and the conventional production of poetic meaning.
