Summary/Abstract: This review of Stanislaw Wojtowicz’s book, entitled Stanley Fish’s New Pragmatism and Polish Debates on Literary Studies after 1989, focuses on several selected issues. First of all, the text dis- cusses Fish’s views on the (non) theory of interpretation and interdisciplinarity, as presented by Wójtowicz. Secondly, the article weighs up the pros and cons of Fish’s anti-essentialist arguments for professional literary studies. Finally, the review presents a critique criticism of Polish attempts to change literary studies into cultural studies (taking feminist propositions into account).
