Autotematyczna refleksja w intertekstualnym dialogu. Heretyckie telegramy Sándora Kányádiego w kontekście twórczości Zbigniewa Herberta

Abstract

Autothematic Reflection in Intertextual Dialogue. Heretic Telegrams by Sándor Kányádi in the Context of Zbigniew Herbert’s Output Sándor Kányadi in his poetic cycle Heretic Telegrams enters into an intertextual dialogue with Zbigniew Herbert’s output. This article attempts to interpret those poems which contain an autothematic reflection on literary creation, artistic expression, ways of narrating or the role of a poet in shaping collective consciousness. Kányádi establishes the opposition of fable and novel, presenting them as literary genres belonging to separate traditions, based on different perceptual patterns. These theses are accompanied by direct allusions to Zbigniew Herbert’s works, what naturally leads to the adoption of comparative literary methods.
