„Ręka = moje słowo”. Funkcje znaków równości w utworach Tadeusza Peipera a cybernetyka
“Ręka = moje słowo [The Hand = My Word]”. Functions of the Equals Sign in Tadeusz Peiper’s Works and Cybernetics

Summary/Abstract: Dorota Kołodziej in her paper analyses Tadeusz Peiper’s 14 poems containing the equals sign. Even though in the poet’s first two volumes the pieces with the symbol = make up circa 1/3 of all lyrical rhymes, the function of this sign in the poet’s output has not to this day been extensively researched. The paper aims to partially fill this gap and it proposes to place Peiper’s verses in the context of information theory which, although ahistorical, allows to explain numerous ostensible inconsistencies in the poetic project of the avant-garde principal. It also helps to move back to the interpretative conceptions included into the classical examinations of the 1960s structuralism inspired by cybernetics, and complemented with observations of the modes in which artistic neo-avant-garde exploited information theory.
