Zegar tyka

Abstract

The author briefly justifies the concept of chronopoetics. He refers to Lec’s aphorism, to Aleksander Wat’s poetry and his autobiographical prose. Chronopoetics exposes the clock as an object presented in literature and as a carrier of philosophical issues, of a modern experience of time. The author’s explorations focus especially on the motif of the clock striking (tick tock).
