Czym jest, czym (jeszcze) mogłaby być „geopoetyka”?
What Is “Geopoetics” and What Else Could It Be?

Summary/Abstract: Outlining various attempts at codifying geopoetics as a trend in Polish literary scholarship Niemiadomski highlights two definitions revolving around ecocriticism and cultural theory of literature. He then points out the problems that come with current definitions: issues related to the status of the discipline being in flux, the risks that come with adapting in practice the postulate of performativity as an essential quality of geopoetics, as well as the problems arising from a narrow understanding of interdisciplinarity. Niewiadomski then proposes to treat geopoetics as a sub-discipline of literary scholarship rooted in a meaningful dialogue with the methods that geographers and cartographers developed to describe places and spaces.
