Nature as Prospect (on Witold Gombrowicz’s “Pornografia”)

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at interpreting Witold Gombrowicz’s “Pornografia”, which resorts to ecocriticism as a methodological instrument and, more specifically, postnatural philosophy represented by Vicky Kirby, Timothy Morton, and the representatives of eco-deconstruction who referred to Jacques Derrida’s late writings. The interpretation focuses on the function which is performed by nature in the world presented in the novel—from the escapist space of wartime through the place of realising libidal energy, and ending in an animalistic element of proliferating writing (Nature as a protagonist of Fryderyk’s letter).
