On Inhuman Human and Inanimal Animal Behaviour. Reading Frydzia Kiwatz’s Ludzie i hieny
The paper, based on an analysis of Frydzia Kiwatz’s poem included in Tango łez śpiewajcie muzy. Poetyckie dokumenty Holokaustu indicates the necessity of returning to the historical contexts which the works from the times of the Shoah are indebted to. Consequently, the boundary between human and inhuman, described in the poem, might be read differently depending on the approach one decides to adopt. This boundary, however, is possible to be rethought anew, since the poem deeply re‑reads the stereotypical division into what is significant for humans, and what – for animals.
Key words: Shoah, poetry, animal studies, victims, bestiality
