Czy potrzebujemy teorii obiegów (w humanistyce cyfrowej)?
Do We Need a Theory of „Circulations” (in the Digital Humanities)?

Summary/Abstract: The article proposes the possibility of developing a theory of “circulations” in the digital humanities, combining a phenomenological perspective (Ingarden’s approach to the work of art as something that “lives” through successive concretizations, whose application to contemporary culture is advocated by Andrzej Tyszczyk) with Bruno Latour’s constructivist approach. The author argues that classical theories of the work of art, centered on a fixed structure or text, are not sufficient as a methodological perspective in the face of digital culture, where platforms, remediation, convergence, and performativity intensify the roles of those creating and experiencing culture. By introducing the concept of “circulations” – dynamic cultural systems – he emphasizes their fluid boundaries, interferences, and the ongoing negotiations of values and meanings. This theory of circulations is intended to facilitate the study of multisensory and dispersed forms of expression, especially in a world dominated by digital tools. The notion of circulation takes into account the intentional, experiential, and performative nature of cultural participation. It is presented as a research method that complements the traditional poetics of the work of art, making it easier to describe contemporary culture in its constant flow and transformation.
