Plagiat przez antycypację
Plagiarism by Anticipation

Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper presents a short history of the idea of plagiarism and concludesthat today it should be interpreted as a unique, alternative, but still legitimate mannerof writing, in which what matters most is memory – that of the author and that of thereader. Such an approach was proposed by members of the OuLiPo group (François LeLionnais, Marcel Bénabou, and Pierre Bayard) as plagiarism by anticipation. Its features,such as obvious similarity of texts, discord between the plagiarized fragment and therest of the work and other works from the same period, secrecy, and temporal inversion,in the era of widespread reproduction provoke to think about copies in terms of anticipationor falsification of the missing works. Will the Messiah come from thatdirection?
