Summary/Abstract: Tabaszewska presents the concept of ancillary literary studies within the context of debates on the humanities’ function and goals. She proposes to view literary scholarship, and the humanities more broadly, as a sphere in which the autonomy of research projects does not preclude their social engagement. Accordingly, the task of ancillary literary studies would be not only to study texts and create theories, but also to diagnose problems that are relevant to society.
