„A z moich dłoni wyrastają korzenie” – kłącze przekładów Wegetarianki i drzewiasty dwugłos
“Roots are sprouting out of my hands” – the Rhizome of Translation of The Vegetarian and the Arborescent Duet

Summary/Abstract: The arborescent duet of Han Kang’s The Vegetarian takes into account the intertextual context, important references to the work of Yayoi Kusama, and earlier texts by the Nobel laureate, as well as selected aspects of translation that shape the reception of the novel in English and Polish. Based on Michael Marder’s philosophy of vegetation and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of rhizomes, the text’s structure mirrors a non-linear, interwoven form. Emerging from this rhizomatic network of translations, feminist, affective, and vegetal tropes – intersecting discourses across multiple registers of sensitivity – sprout to capture the myriad forms of resistance and transformation embodied by the arborescent heroines.
