„Upojenie jako triumfalne wtargnięcie w nas rośliny”: obietnice i niebezpieczeństwa roślinnej seksualności
‘Drunkenness as a Triumphant Irruption of the Plant in Us’: The Promises and Dangers of Plant Sexuality

Summary/Abstract: Bednarek reconstructs the concept of ‘plant sexuality’ in Deleuze and Guattari’s Capitalism and Schizophrenia. This concept was initially seen in relation to the alternative that the two theorists proposed to the oedipal organization of desire and subjectivity. With the humanities’ turn towards plants, however, it takes on a new significance and challenges us to ask questions about the definition of nature and the role of human and non-human agency in the anthropocene. Examining representations of the desire for plants or the desire for becoming-a-plant in the works of Han Kang, Ursula K. Le Guin and Jeff VanderMeer, Bednarek identifies both the criteria for speaking of plant sexuality and the consequences this has for our notion of humanity.
