O intencjach, przypisach i przy-pisywaniu (w odpowiedzi Danucie Szajnert)
On Intentions, Footnotes and Trans-Scribing (In Response to Danuta Szajnert)

Summary/Abstract: Wolski polemicizes with Danuta Szajnert, who reviewed his book Tadeusz Borowski – Primo Levi: Prze-pisywanie literatury Holocaustu [Tadeusz Borowski – Primo Levi: Trans-Scribing Holocaust Literature] (‘O prze-pisywaniu’ [On Trans-Scribing], Teksty Drugie, 1 (2016). While he agrees with many of Szajnert’s remarks, Wolski highlights a fundamental epistemological discrepancy between his position and Szajnert’s: Szajnert suggested that he falsely attributes intentions to Borowski and Levi. In fact, as Wolski argues here, his book aimed to shed light on the process through which readers form ideas about these authors’ intentions. For Wolski, the difference between these two aspects might be rooted in the ethical imperative that characterized earlier Holocaust literature – an imperative that annulled the dichotomy between representation and the represented (as well as the analogona of that dichotomy).
