Muzyczne adaptacje poezji Józefa Czechowicza — piosenka i pieśń na styku kultury popularnej i nowych mediów (rekonesans)

The main purpose of this paper is to recognise how the poetry of Józef Czechowicz functions in new media contexts within broadly understood popular culture. Poets’ poems are subjected to a specific process of audio adaptation, adapting them to function in a different media environment, especially on YouTube. The author of the article attempts a structural-hermeneutic reading of the audio texts. Czechowicz, widely regarded as an extremely “musical” poet, is confronted with various models of the audial functioning of the literary text. The article discusses selected aspects and selected examples of auditory adaptations of Czechowicz’s poetry. The author of the sketch focuses primarily on the musical studies of the poet’s poems, in which he perceives the basic intermedia potential — the ability to function in different contexts. An important part of this interpretative act is to look at the conventionally established culture flows in which Czechowicz’s poetry appears.
