Summary/Abstract: The article’s interpretation of Sońka by Ignacy Karpowicz centres on the construction of the eponymous character. The author of the article analyzes the character’s identity, drawing from the postmodern feminist critique. Especially useful is the concept of nomadism introduced by Rosi Braidotti. Another key idea is the proposal by Adriana Cavarero about the functions of relation and narration in building female identity. The author emphasizes the significance of the body and bodily experience in the creation of the feminine self.
