Summary/Abstract: The paper follows the current boom of using the term poetics in the humanities and gives examples mainly from the German context. With regard to this poetic turn, the author goes on to deal with new uses of the term in literary science, which are mainly related to the instrumental and technical, as well as physical and gestic aspects of literary production and their summary into a traditional set of poetic issues. The paper builds on poetic synergy of the „scenes“ of writing (R. Campe) during literary production and, in conclusion, it deals with the scenes of autobiographical writing in the literatures of Central and Eastern Europe. The concept of „poetics of preparation“ is suggested in order to characterize literary works which are oriented at aesthetic and poetic dimensions of manuscripts. In the author´s opinion, distinct poetics can be typically found, for instance, in small forms of the note-taking style of writing, which dominates in the field of unedited literature of the 1970s and the 1980s.
