Abstract

he aim of this paper is to describe new, non-anthropocentric forms of non-fictional nature writing that can also be interpreted as life-nature (autoBIOgraphical) writing. The author discusses the works of Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing (anthropologist), Urszula Zajączkowska (biologist), Helen Macdonald (historian of science) and Jolanta Brach-Czaina (philosopher) in order to show their biopoetical writing strategies: immersion, rhizomatic, assemblage, and tentacularity. In her analysis, the author defines the strategies by using the concepts of Passage – understood in broader terms rather than as a trope of urban writing and reading – and flaneurie, which can be a non-urban experience, that represents the opposite of laboratory. This paper will also discuss the possibilities and the limits of non-anthropocentrism in literature.
