Niekończąca się opowieść. Alegorie alegorii Andrzeja Warminskiego
Never ending story. Allegories of Andrzej Warmiński’s allegories

Summary/Abstract: Andrzej Warminski’s "Material Inscriptions" is not only a tribute to the writings of Paul de Man, but also develops his method of “rhetorical reading”. This is possible thanks to a nuanced interpretation of the late deconstructive works, with particular emphasis on the enigmatic concept of “materiality”, which allows us to write about what precedes the figuration of language itself. Warmiński’s essays are both varied (the author addresses the methods of poets, novelists and philosophers of different epochs) and monotonous, due to a characteristic excess of methodological rigor. This makes leads all interpretations to similarly sceptical conclusions regarding the impossibility of pinning down any symbolic system, whether poetic or philosophical.
