HOW DOES TEL AVIV (AND ŁÓDŹ) SMELL? ABOUT OLFACTORY SPACE IN RENATA JABŁOŃSKA’S POETRY
The experience of a city, as any other space, is always multisensory. The smells specific to particular locations not only create their identity in a specific manner but are also part of the individual’s process of self-identification with the surrounding space. A new research perspective, consisting in the study of sensual spaces in literature in the totality of visual, audial, tactile, olfactory and even gustatory sensations, allows a more complete interpretation of the spatial dynamic of the presented locations. The article analyses Renata Jabłońska’s exploration of her current place of residence—Tel Aviv, Israel, in combination with her hometown of Łódź, Poland, as olfactory spaces. Both spaces often go together since Telavivian smells bring to the poet’s mind the smells of her early youth.
