abstract in English:
In her lecture concerning contemporary literary criticism the author shows
a subtle but fundamental diff erence between personal/subjective signature of
a critic trying to penetrate and understand a literary work and a narcissist attitude,
in which a text is like a mirror refl ecting desires and wishes of the critic
himself.
The comparison of diff erent attitudes and models of a critical subject in
a critical sketch, in a metacritical polemical text and in a critical book will serve this purpose. In the last case the object of comparison will be: Kazimierz Wyka’s
A Matter of Imagination, in which he declares that ‘it is not supposed to be a document
of development of some Kazimierz Wyka (...) but simply a document or
a contribution to the development of Polish poetry...’: ‘An Appetite for Change by
Jerzy Jarzębski - a collection of critical essays treated by the author as a collection
of sketches on signifi cant issues and literary works (but here the author
places two sketches ‘rather to ‘take a closer look at himself’ as well as procedures
of understanding and evaluation of texts used with these early readings’); and
Dariusz Nowacki’s Career: A Reader, which was designed as ‘a stage of his own
biography as a reader’.
It is interesting to examine at the same time how a narcissist attitude aff ects
the character of contemporary literary criticism; what benefi ts and dangers resulting
from this attitude are, and also (perhaps primarily) what place literature
holds in the ‘narcissist’ type of criticism.
