Abstrakt: | Starting from Thoreau’s division into knowledge understood as a dictionary and
biography, a discussion of a book Ujmować. Henry David Thoreau i wspólnota świata
by Tadeusz Sławek places it in the context of deconstruction and a poststructuralist
turn of the theory. At the same time, however, it shows that Sławek’s easily-recognizable
and consistent style is not a result of a simple recapturing of categories worked out
by J. Derrida (e.g. a margin, a responsible answer, a varying repetition, and, above all,
friendship), but their far-reaching interpretation, as a result of which they take on a new
community-creative character, going beyond a deconstructivist self-referentiality and
the so called ethic criticism inscribing into the current. |
