On poetics, literary theory, and interpretation: once again

Author(s): Henryk Markiewicz
Subject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: Instytut Badań Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: Poetics; Literary theory; Interpretation; Anna Burzyńska.

Summary/Abstract: Basing upon the Anna Burzyńska’s book 'Anty-teoria literatury' [‘Anti-theory of literature’], Cracow, 2006, the author discusses propositions and/or suggestions (pro)posed by post-modern thought against literary studies. Or, more strictly speaking: What should a literary scholar do, in case s/he would try to ‘make post-modern’ (so to speak) his/her earlier-established views in three areas: poetics, literary theory, and, interpretation? One may sense that the theory interpretation, having been through a long journey through the stormy fluctuations of post-modernity, is now stealthily resuming a solid ground that has been disparaged until recently. This is, namely, a philological-hermeneutic ground, softened to a slight extent by intensified attentiveness toward whatever may be non-systemic or inconsistent in a given text.
