Norwid, Baudelaire and the Rules of Art

Summary/Abstract: Siwiec discusses Norwid and Baudelaire as writers on the cusp of modernity who are clearly aware of their participation in contemporary social and cultural transformations. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s The Rules of Art, a study of the formation of the new literary field in which both poets took part, Siwiec examines the two poets’ statements on art’s dependency on the laws of the market and on the field of power represented by various institutions. She also exposes the ambivalent – although largely critical – relationship to the transformations of modernity that marks both Norwid and Baudelaire, whom, borrowing Antoine Compagnon’s term, we may describe as “antimoderenes”.
