Korekta za pomocą literówki. Liberatura w kontekście rozważań genologicznych
Correction by Typo. Liberature in the Context of Genological Studies

Summary/Abstract: The main emphasis of the article is on the genological analysis of liberature, characterised as the “total literature,” and proposed by Zenon Fajfer in 1999. The argument consists of three layers. Firstly, the author discusses the terms in which one can speak of liberature as a literary movement. This thesis, however, remains highly problematic, since it entails an unclear relation between liberature understood as a pioneering project (inaugurated by Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik), and an element within the greater historical perspective, inspired by such “proto-liberary” writers as William Blake, George Herbert or Stephané Mallarmé. Secondly, liberature is theorised as an independent genre, which has emerged due to the increasing value of the formal and material dimensions of literary texts. Finally, bearing in mind the intersection of the semantics and the materiality of the medium taking place in “liberary” works, the author poses the problem of their ontological hybridity. As the article points out, in this case, liberature, with its ephemeral, singular and heterogeneous texts, may be regarded as the system consisting solely of differences.
