451. Genuine Hermeneutics in the Canon of LiteratureNysret Krasniqi, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Within this article, we discuss the author’s influential relationship with the literary text and the role of literary critic in the tendencies to replace the first. By dealing, first, with the romantic spirit, then with the progressive concept of modernity, and, finally, with the denying concepts of post-modernity, we argue for the idea that the literary discourse includes the author as a normative and intentional principle to preserve the memory and knowledge, which literature offers to us. The tendency of the author’s denial has resulted in a tendency to deny the tradition, literary canon, and has caused the absurdity of an excess in the necessary methodological apparatus, an excess, which has led to the diminishing of the reading of literature, fading of its social status, and harming the utilitarian recognition of authors who form the dignity and identity of Western culture. We attempt to explain that canonical literary texts should be recognized through posterior criticism, their placing in historical time, and their reflections on our own time, in which they obtain new meanings, while preserving the stabilized meanings of iconic authors.

452. Poetry and the Challenge of Understanding : Towards a Deconstructive HermeneuticsPatryk Szaj, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The first part of the paper is the author’s contribution to the hermeneutics–deconstruction debate on the status of the literary work and the role of the reader. The author’s considerations head towards a conception of “deconstructive hermeneutics of poetry,” stating that the literary text both requires understanding and guards itself against the violence of its uniformization. The second part of the paper involves deconstructive-hermeneutic interpretations of the works of three Polish poets: Aleksander Wat, Tadeusz Różewicz, and Krystyna Miłobędzka. The author notices their “touching acuteness,” i.e., their refusal of an all-encompassing reading. More important, however, is the way all the poets cultivate their own “deconstructive hermeneutics” of existence. In Wat’s case, it is a hermeneutics of the suffering body. Różewicz is approached from the side of the problem of “the death of poetry.” Miłobędzka turns out to be a poetess who delivers her idea of “releasement.”

453. Passages and the episteme of Crossing a Threshold : About the Reading of What Was Never Written Down, but the Body Inscribed in the TextMonika Jaworska-Witkowska, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: This text is an attempt to collect traces of readings on the hermeneutics of the city as a space dense with meanings that require discernment in a completely unusual phenomenology, and not just the topography of the city. The modern humanities have greatly contributed to an understanding of and searching for discourse of such places/non-places, passages, alleys, and labyrinths, in which the body each time feels different and forces a different description than a neutral one or an indifferent one. It is not without significance that we have long known that sometimes the “genius loci,” as well as our fear, alienation, or, on the contrary, domestication, and captivation truly reign. This article is a survey of my readings and fascinations that arose thanks to them. Walter Benjamin’s reflections on passages are the basis of my discourse. I also use the accomplishments of outstanding Polish humanists, creatively fitting into this perspective.

454. Beauty and the Beast : The Dark Sides of LoveConstantinos V. Proimos, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: My paper departs from the classic French fairy tale authored by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve about a handsome prince turned into a hideous beast by a magic spell that only love could break. The Beauty is a beautiful, young, albeit poor woman who eventually falls in love with the Beast and frees the prince from him. By pairing beauty with ugliness and attraction with repulsion, the fairytale allows introspection into the phenomenon of love, which is the natural and appropriate response to Beauty, according to Plato. I am reading the story of the Beauty and the Beast together with Alexander Nehamas’s Neoplatonist book Only a Promise of Happiness. The Place of Beauty in a World of Art trying, first, to establish who the Beauty is as the sovereign and who the Beast, and then inquire into the adventurous liaison of the couple. Finally, I argue that beauty not only promises happiness, as Stendhal’s famous quote states, but also threatens its lovers with misery, frustration, and disorientation. Furthermore, in all love affairs, beauty alternates with ugliness, i.e., the one replaces the other, exactly as the Prince becomes the Beast only to turn again into a Prince, ad infinitum, thus representing desire and its psychic palimpsest.
