Donacja czy performancja? Próba krytycznej interpretacji fenomenologii donacji J.-L. Mariona jako fenomenologii performatywnej
Donation or Performance? An Attempt to Critically Interpret J.-L. Marion’s Phenomenology of Donation as Performative Phenomenology

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to interpret Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenology of donation as a unique philosophical theory of performance. The inspirations, direction and context of the presented interpretation delimit the main transformations occurring within the contemporary humanities, shaped by the numerous countertextual turns. Presented here are the main themes of Marion’s phenomenology of donation, such as countermethod, gift, sacrament, revelation, givenness, occurrence, contingency, saturated phenomenon, witness, etc., in the hope of finding performative instructions in them. The article is concluded with a multi-faceted critique of Marion’s phenomenology of donation to show why it is not tenable and must give way to the phenomenological principle of performance.
