Summary/Abstract: Małgorzata Sugiera analyzes two dramas by Bertolt Brecht – The Flight across the Ocean and Life of Galileo. The author alludes to Bruno Latour's thoughts on perspective in Galileo's drawings in order to focus attention on how the senses are foregrounded in Brecht's cognitive process. In the above-mentioned works Sugiera notes the problematized issue of the gaze, which, to her mind, should not work as it does in a drama with a traditional structure, where the viewer is left with the principle of “non-seeing.” The author points out the chaotic and mechanical experience of the worlds Brecht designs, juxtaposing them with Johannes Kepler's fragmentary perception of reality.
