Rozmowa z samym sobą (do potomności)

Abstrakt

A dialogue of the author with himself/herself, with his/her own text can proceed as an utterance about intentions or about something that has already been written. This is as if a meeting with the Other, and an attempt at understanding him. Or a rejection. What is meant in this work is to look at this on several selected examples. And so in Przyboś theory became rather a testing ground for the new ideas. Since Kundera wrote that a novel introduces "the wisdom of uncertainty" then one might ask, e.g. whether in his The Art of the Novel he takes up a polemic with his own texts, just there where they border on certainty? However, Immortality, written a little bit later than The Art of the Novel, is already a game with this programme, with one's own past. Here a game of unreality goes with the reader. In Stefan Chwin's Kartki z dziennika [Pages from a Diary] this form of loose pages is a particular form of utterance. Going back to his texts, Chwin clearly shows his reluctance to be subordinated to some one sense; he shows the polyphony of texts (Złoty Pelikan [A Golden Pelican]). These voices are even more multiplied along with every utterance of the author or of the critics.
