Abstract
Corpus eroticum, or the fantasy mistress of Jerzy Szamota Abstract The article attempts to interpret a short story by Stefan Grabiński entitled Kochanka Szamoty [ Szamota’s Mistress ] from the psychoanalytical point of view, using the conceptual apparatus provided by Jacques Lacan. The context for these deliberations is set by prior interpretations of this story – a psychological one, carried out by Artur Hutnikiewicz, and a feminist-psychoanalytical one, proposed by Krystyna Kłosińska. Within the framework of this analysis, the author highlights the obsessive personality of the main character and the nature of his relationship with his mistress, Jadwiga Kalergis – who, in accordance with Lancan’s apparatus, is presented as an erotic fantasy, a sort of “symptom of a man”. In consequence, the traumatic aspect of Szamota’s final sexual experience is seen as the result of a confrontation with an object (l’objet petit a), and thus “the return of the supressed”, which manifests itself as an obscene object of male desire.
