Wampirologia albo – jak się staje, czym się jest
Vampirology – How One Becomes What One Is

Summary/Abstract: Skrendo discusses Siegfried J. Schmidt’s 2012 book Lehren der Kontingenz: Erinnerung an 40 Jahre Doppelleben [Teaching Contingency: Remembering 40 Years Double Life]. The focus is on questions of autobiography, but also on the forms of radical constructivism, which is Schmidt’s philosophical and theoretical position. The vampire motif that appears in Schmidt’s memoirs is a figurative representation of the German Geisteswissenschaften – the arts or humanities – which Schmidt opposes even as he remains dependent on them.
