Between Kitsch and Impurity. Literal Representations of the Aesthetics of Ugliness in the Prose Poems of Tadeusz Miciński

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the stylistic interventions that form the overall picture of the world portrayed in the prose poems of Tadeusz Miciński, emphasizing the aesthetics of ugliness in the broadest sense. It pays particular attention to the bipolarity of this concept. Upon one pole of aesthetics there are various images of impurity: filth, torture, rottenness., whilst at the other pole, there appears the aesthetics of kitsch – the illustration of artificial paradises. At the border between these two aesthetic poles, an intermediate category emerges: “Kitsch of the Onirian Macabras”
