Praktykowanie oporu. O „rewolucyjnej” poezji Julii Fiedorczuk
Practising Resistance. About the “Revolutionary” Poetry of Julia Fiedorczuk

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article, analysing the works of Julia Fiedorczuk, described a poetic strategy that can be called “the poetics of resistance”. Its essential determinants emphasise the fragility of human and non-human beings, emphasising the connections between all beings and the tightness of boundaries to regulate any systems (organic and political). Fiedorczuk proves that it is possible to include poetry in a network of activities aimed at opposing violence and suffering caused by terrorism or warfare in times of political crises and wars. According to the article’s author, it is necessary to recognise the revolutionary potential of Fiedorczuk’s poetry. It allows for the recognition of poetry as an effective way of counteracting what is undesirable due to the affective potential of poems and creating situations that the reader may experience. Poetry is, therefore, an exercise of mindfulness and the practice of resistance to phenomena that have consequences for individuals and society. Care is perhaps the most important feel­ing that causes Fiedorczuk to constantly change his idiom and give special meaning to the community. Writing about her poetry, the author uses Judith Butler’s theory of vulnerability to injury and concepts from nonviolent civil resistance studies.
