Semiografia rękopisu
The Semiography of the Manuscript

Summary/Abstract: Adam Dziadek proposes the term “semiography” to explore poetic manuscripts in whichthe text (along with corrections and modifications) coexists with pictorial forms such assketches and drawings. A (manuscript) page has its own semiosphere and simultaneouslycreates it. It is performative, it is a page of the text’s becoming and beginning, of itsdiscontinuities, unaccomplishment and imperfection. Dziadek’s methodology is basedon the materiality of the manuscript and embedded in genetic criticism as well aspsychoanalysis. He analyses an exemplary manuscript of Aleksander Wat’s poem A FamilyReunion kept at Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
