SUMMARY
This article presents a comparative analysis of the concept BOD Y in selected poems of Osip Mandelstam and in the essay “A Roadside Dog” by Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz. The representation of the body is examined under a condition of deconstruction, from a post-structuralist perspective. The analysis of these important and marginal points of the source of the texts leads to weighty results as well. However, the article mainly points at the problem itself, rather than at its solution.
