Summary/Abstract: This article polemicises with one thesis contained in Anna Burzyńska’s book Anty-teoria literatury [‘Literary anti-theory’], Universitas publishers, Cracow 2006. The author analyses a deconstructive criticism of the literary communication model, coming to the conclusion that it is unjust to juxtapose a communicationist, passive theory of reading, enclosed by models, and a theory of active and open-ended reading. He emphasises that the principle of reading-related activism, as postulated by deconstructivists, constitutes broadened knowledge on literary communication, whilst not being a critical ‘turn’ that apodictically crosses out the issue’s theoretical past.
