Between Multivocality and Autonomy. Surprising Alliances in the Stokfiszewski Debate

Summary/Abstract: The article offers a re-reading of an influential series of critical essays and commentaries published by Igor Stokfiszewski and various authors in 2007 as part of a debate on the role and importance of zaangażowanie (roughly “political commitment”) in contemporary poetry and criticism in Poland. In reconstructing the underlying logic of the debate, it aims to emphasise certain details and complexities that were so far largely ignored by critics in order to point out indirect and often unexpected methodological, philosophical and political implications of some of the views put forward in the course of the exchange.
