Czesław Miłosz’s ’Dar’(’Gift’) in the light of Jacques Derrida’s philosophy of gift
Abstract
The aim of this text is to present an attempt at the deconstructionist interpretation of Czesław
Miłosz’s verse ‘Dar’ (‘Gift’). On the one hand, this paper emphasizes the moment of ‘dissemination’
of the literary work – the space between the title and ‘the rest’ of the text (which appeals
more to the American deconstructionism) is seen as both a connection and an irreducible gap. On
the other hand, this ‘dissemination’ is understood in terms offered by J. Derrida’s philosophy of
gift. Miłosz used a word ‘gift’ in the title, but in the ‘textual corpus’ he made this donation ‘imperceptible’.
This observation enables the Author to interpret Miłosz’s poem in the context of Derrida’s
discourse of (im)possibility of gift. Consequently the title will be understood here as a gift to
the text (the gift of meaning to the experience described there), but at the same time this gift/title
will be seen as irreducibly separated from the ‘rest’ of the text, because of the relation between the
title and the ‘textual corpus’.
