Abstract. The paper deals with the phenomenon of "Writing from the Body" in the framework of contemporary Anglophone culture.

The author identifies the sources of "Writing from the Body" as the phenomenon, analyzes the main lines of "bodily narrative" and those techniques, by which it is realized in practice, and reveals the types of bodily experience which are most relevant for creative writing.
