Summary/Abstract: In the essay, a crucial issue of crisis concerning the human studies is presented from the view-point of several interdisciplinary procedures, according to which the convoluted content of the crisis itself (along with its impossible term) is regarded as an extra-ordinary energy stimulating the development of the human thought, expressed either in/by literature or academic discourses. In order to reconsider the new possibilities for the human studies, offered by the contemporary thinkers, I have decided to cast same light on Barthes’s idea of atopy, which fluently leads towards the so called performative turn (via late Derrida’s deconstruction) and subsequently to the poetics of experience (including the somatic criticism and somaesthetics) and cultural poetics, represented by the Greenblatt school.
