Maladyczność zapłodnionej kobiety. Problematyka aborcyjna w twórczości Gangu Śródmieście

Abstract

This article is an analysis of the song “Women on Waves” by the band Gang Śródmieście. The artists touch upon the issue of abortion and build the whole narrative around it. However, it is not just an expression of their opinion on the subject, as the authors refer to several themes in the text. Namely, they refer to legislation, cultural situation, recall facts from public life and describe their abortion journey. The work presents the figure of a woman with an unwanted pregnancy, who has become a sick person due to her physiological condition. The search for an appropriate methodology, research tools and the possibility of presenting a holistic perspective, therefore, leads to maladic discourses, and they are one of the optics I use. The other is feminist criticism, the authors refer to its values and ideas, as I will prove in the article.
