„Dopełniacz. Mnie”. Styl egzystencjalny jako problem tekstów biograficznych Artura Daniela Liskowackiego
„Genitive. Me.” Existential style in the essays of Artur Daniel Liskowacki

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes the analysis of biographical texts where the person is described as „an existential style” (M. Foucault’s term). Such a person resembles „the author as a gesture” (G. Agamben) and should be understood as a „possible place”, the space of potentiality of a person. This perspective of research of Artur Daniel Liskowacki’s essays explains his fascination of persons seen as „possible places” disclosed by existential styles. Some essays describe the way some existential styles go into the everyday life practices of an essayist, what M. Macé called „putting chosen forms of life into play”. The analysis of an existential style also explains why even the condemned person’s life is a good opportunity to write the biographical text as evidenced by an essay concerning Roman Bratny.
