New Modernist Studies and Late Modernism

Abstract

studies into late modernism—of the issues which are worth researchingor the problems which should be signalled. The article starts witha recognition of a poor presence of the category of modernism in thinkingabout the literature of the 20th and 21st centuries and submits severalproposals. At the beginning, a proposal of confronting a modernistparadigm with a paradigm of Romantic revision. This proposal was presentedwith an awareness of the fuzziness of the notion of modernism aswell as the notion of Romantic revision in Polish academic environment.The following research postulates that would be formulated are: deeperreflection on the language (in connection with tradition, heritage andtheir problematization) and on the practices of reading. Later, the textposes a question about the way of studying the permeation of discoursesin the writing of specific representatives of modernism and demandsgreater recognition for the Central European perspective in research.
