On the encounters of literature and commentary in Witkacy's works
Abstract
In Witkacy’s works literature and commentary meet one another incessantly. On one pole a
phenomenon of dramatising of theoretical texts, e.g. aesthetic sketches is situated, and on the
other the trick of playing theory within own, and on the other a trick of playing theory within
own dramaturgy. Both these procedures allow the writer to assume different roles, thus various
attitudes towards his own and others' theories. They both make it that the boundaries of literature
and commentary are blurred. This also happens when Witkacy transfers his activities literally
onto the margin [Marginalia filozoficzne komentarza (Philosophical trifles)]. The philosophical
discourse played there in various forms (also plastic ones) makes it that the commented text and
the commentary achieve equal status. Such a procedure also shows that reading is a performative
act, and that the margin is no longer a marginal place.
