The readings draw on the interpretative strategies of the theory of affect (primarily the work Ernst van Alphen, Teresa Brennan and Brian Massumi) and somatic criticism (e.g. Anna Łebkowska’s somatopoetics, Marta Smo-lińska’s ‘augmented haptics’). In the great majority of Przerwa-Tetmajer’s poems dealing with the process of poetic creation, we are told that it is triggered by an explosion of the affects or an overpowering divine inspiration, bordering on madness. The article ana-lyzes in turn the affective nature of the creative process and the affective perception of a work of art; the image of the artist as craftsman; and, finally, the image of the phantas-matic woman, a product of the act of creation.}, type={Artykuł}, title={“My hands are burning, my brain and head are seething”: The artist and the affects, or the creative process in the poetry of Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/130510/2023-03-RL-03.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.146711}, keywords={literary theory, creative process, theory of affect, autothematic narration, Young Poland movement, Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer (1865–1940)}, }
