Progi i mosty. Kod temporalny w historiach literatury
Thresholds and Bridges. Temporal Code in Histories of Literature

Summary/Abstract: For the past two decades historians as well as literary historians have been manifesting a symptomatic distrust of time marks as clear ordering categories, it is therefore worth regarding them as the adjunctive and not fundamental markers of literary and cultural changes. Based on various examples, the article proves that time-related categories are closely related to literature and the dynamics of its course of events but the comprehensive rationale that lies behind the application of these categories depends on a number of factors including the sense of temporality that influences thresholds of literary experiences or the impact of network reality on changes in literature. Hence, according to the author of this article, the concept of adequacy of time marks in historical and literary practice is best described by the metaphor of a bridge.
