The existential contexts of the so-called turns in the humanities

Summary/Abstract: The starting point for my research is the famous statement of Leszek Kołakowski: “(...) in all the universe man cannot find a well so deep that, leaning over it, he does not discover at the bottom his own face.” I believe that no matter which of the turns we are dealing with, it is only our own face that, in fact, each of them has to offer to us. I ask about this face in the performative, iconic and posthumanist turns.
