Polonistyka chaotyczna?
Chaotic Polish Studies?

Rev: Marek Pieniążek, Polonistyka performatywna. O humanistycznych technologiach wytwarzania światów. Kraków (2018)

Summary/Abstract: The review refers to Marek Pieniążek’s book „Polonistyka performatywna. O humanistycznych technologiach wytwarzania światów” (“Performative Polish Studies. On Humanistic Technologies of Creating Worlds”, 2018). The reviewer focuses his attention on the title term of performativity and its applicability in the contexts of various problems within the humanities, including Polish Studies didactics. Then, he goes on to investigate the advantages and shortcomings of “performative education,” which he sets against “textocentrism” understood in structuralist spirit, and also reflects on the possibilities of employing Pieniążek’s conception into teaching practice. Ultimately, he discusses other fields of applicability of “performative Polish Studies,” e.g., into social space dynamics, literary life in the age of the Internet, the trend art and science.
