Summary/Abstract: Novel Circle is a narrative about self-discovering and insistent invocation of another (man / culture) into the circle which is plotted by a woman around her body, inside whose borders she is always being left and forgotten. At the border of distaste for the culture in which she is being forced to fight for attention, grace and kindliness of the man (and the culture in general), the woman begins to seek after deeper sense of pleasure of Eros – she does that by the writing as a creative gesture in which erotic captive conquers its erotic freedom. Alkadic actually triangulates relation between woman and erotica by inserting the writing between them, as compensation to outsider position of woman’s erotica, which in creative event searches for its alternate figuration where she would rewrite phalluscentric picture of life.
