Towards the Creative Sources of the Potential of the (in) Identity of the Place

Abstract

The author’s intention of the study is to try to read Karol Wojtyła’s poetic cycle “Wędrówka do miejsc świętych” in the aspect of the place and its identity in biographical reception. It shows a person experiencing experiences in meeting a place – its uniqueness and potential. Biographical experiences reveal the creative possibilities of man in searching and discovering new values and meanings. The study also addresses the important issue of the place as a space of transgressive development in which “man is born to flourish”. The place presented in the aspect of biography shows a border event, a breakthrough event that gave a new meaning to life experience. The journey is a creative path leading from getting to know the place – through reading its identity – to internal transformation and transgression towards internal life. The poetic cycle contains a metaphorical, interpretively rich potential. The place fascinates with the possibilities of creative interpretation and as such can be a source of pedagogical inspiration.

Keywords:
