Wirklichkeit im Wandel: Róža Domašcyna auf dem Weg zum Gedicht

Abstract

Changing Reality: Róža Domašcyna’s Path to Poetry

Around 1990 Róža Domašcyna began writing both documentary and fictional radio plays that were mostly not published. This study analyzes the poet’s literary path by examining her radio plays and prose, including (auto)-biographical texts that deal with Sorbian folklore among other things. Domašcyna moves from texts concerning the everyday world and its truth to the non-representational truth of art. The everyday world is temporary content, not artistic truth. The author shows the truth of reality, of society’s materialistic life and her own very personal, familiar surroundings as ever changing forms of reality. The art going beyond this in her poetry is that of artistic logic and metamorphoses.
