O kobiecie "upadłej" w pisanie
On Women ‘Fallen’ into Writing

Summary/Abstract: Book review: Krystyna Kłosińska, Miniatury. Czytanie i pisanie „kobiece” [‘Miniatures. “Female” reading and writing’,] Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, Katowice, 2006. The reviewer considers the extent to which the feminist thought, existing in culture concurrently as an ideology and a set of critical tools, spreads itself against the background of post-structuralist thought, as a broad literary-studies concept, mainly the one classed as the theory of reading. Thus, an attempt is made at replying to the questions: What is the place that the author/reader situates her own feminist discourse? Is it possible to practice a ‘pure’ feminist thought? And, isn’t it so that Kłosińska’s texts incite one to reflect upon feminism as one of the methods of viewing literature and reality as such? Such a view would break up with a persistently hermetic nature of the tradition opening up for a dialogue.
