Białoruska poezja protestu. Symbole, emocje i kontekst

Abstract

BELARUSIAN PROTEST POETRY: SYMBOLS, EMOTIONS AND CONTEXT The article discusses protest poetry written by Belarusians poets after the rigged elections on August 9, 2020 and during the so-called “Belarusian revolution”. Using the example of three poems in Russian, Belarusian and Polish, the paper tries to deconstruct the meaning of symbols actively used in protest poetry and also sketches the context in which these symbols exist. Poetry in the article is also considered as a way of expressing emotions at various structural levels.
