Mорфологія сексу в дзеркалі української барокової літератури [пролегомени])

The article investigates the major forms of the manifestation of sexuality in various genres in the Ukrainian literature of the 17th-18th cc., from penitentialities via hagiography to indicent poetry. The author argues that, in spiritual genres, sexuality problems were largely raised in the discussion of the mistery of marriage and the sin of “uncleanness.” yet the true nature of sex is exposed in the indicent poetry of “wandering priests” which gave rise to specific “poetics of the body.”
