Literackość przeciwko kulturze autobiografii
Literariness against the culture of autobiography

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the relationship between the way the categories of “anti-literariness” and “literariness” operate in contemporary literary criticism and the “culture of autobiography” after the breakthrough of 1989. Based on two recent critical discussions around the books Kwiaty rozłączki by Aleksandra Wstecz (2020) and Oto ciało moje by Aleksandra Pakieła (2022), the author looks at how the expansion of therapeutic languages and the primacy of stories about individual traumatic experience are remodelling the conditions of literary criticism.
