Poetry and Time in the Light of Mediology
Poetry and Time in the Light of Mediology

Summary/Abstract: This article is about poetry from the perspective of mediology. It examines the corporeal aspects of poetry. It changes the philological approach towards poetry because it convinces us that poetry is the unity of ideas and material form. Thanks to Brodsky’s Nobel Lecture the connection between poetry and action is expressed in a more explicit way. It allows us to understand the personal significance of poetry for the reader. We realize that reading a poem is a way to achieve an authentic being. The article also discusses time, which is the common point of mediology and poetry. It allows one to notice the main task of human being: to think about death. The paper introduces the complexity of poetry thanks to which the reader becomes aware of time.
