Smak a umysł, czyli specyficzne reprezentacje doświadczenia somatycznego… w prozie XX wieku
The taste and mind, i.e. specific representations of somatic experience in the prose of the twentieth century literary

Summary/Abstract: The analyses concern writings with mimetic ambitions, contemporary works written in the 20th century: Big Two-Hearted River (1925) by Ernest Hemingway, Babette’s Feast (1958) by Karen Blixen and To Know a Woman (1989) by Amos Oz. Various degrees of literary reference can be observed: a kind of simulation of tasting a meal in a Hemingway story, a stylization in the representation of Oz’s taste, and a spiritual deformation of somatic sensations in Blixen’s story. The analyses show that the conclusions of writers about food culture depend not only on the culture as such, but also on the individual properties of the mind.
