Moje zdziwienia: Znowu dyskutuję z profesorem Nyczem / I zdziwienia, i niepewność

My MarvellingsMoje zdziwienia /My Marvellings/ is a column run by Henryk Markiewicz, retired Professor of the Jagiellonian University and one of the most outstanding Polish literary historians and theoreticians. In his essays, Professor Markiewicz presents and discusses various literary theory publications, comments on current events at the academia, argues with and questions authors of scholarly and popular articles, all the time being indefatigable in his insistence on respecting standards of academic professionalism, competence, honesty and responsibility for judgments and opinions expressed. This time Henryk Markiewicz focuses his critical attention on two articles: Ryszard Nycz’s W stronę humanistyki innowacyjnej: tekst jako laboratorium. Tradycje, hipotezy i propozycje (Toward Innovative Humanities: Text as a Laboratory. Traditions, Hypotheses, Ideas) published in “Teksty Drugie” (Second Texts) 2013, no. 1–2, and Magdalena Popiel’s Portret jako jednostka kulturowej teorii literatury (The Portrait as a Unit of the Cultural History of Literature) published in “Ruch Literacki” (“Literary Movement”) 2013, no 1.
