In Search of Singularity
In Search of Singularity introduces a new “compairative” methodology that seeks to understand how the interplay of paired texts creates meaning in new, transcultural contexts. Bringing the worlds of contemporary Polish and Chinese poetry since 1989 into conversation with one another, Joanna Krenz applies the concept of singularity to draw out resonances and intersections between these two discourses and shows how they have responded to intertwined historical and political trajectories and a new reality beyond the human. Drawing on developments such as AI poetry and ecopoetry, Krenz makes the case for a fresh approach to comparative poetry studies that takes into account new forms of poetic expression and probes into alternative grammars of understanding.
Re-Thinking Agency
The book explores the multi-faceted nature of contemporary reflections on agency, focusing on various discursive practices that shape the posthumanist approach to the relationship between the human and non-human world from a planetary perspective. The chapters delve into critical human-animal studies, examine new non-anthropocentric identity constructs, and offer analyses that reinterpret meanings through semiotic inversions and challenge static cultural patterns. The book concludes with discussions on decolonization practices that aim to liberate agency from oppressive systems, particularly those dominated by imperial phallogocentrism.

Literatura wykadrowana
Medium fotograficzne – jak żadna inna technologia w historii postępu cywilizacyjnego – ukształtowało estetykę myślenia w kategoriach szeroko pojętego obrazu, wyznaczyło „nowe” horyzonty nowoczesności dla wielu dziedzin artystycznego wyrazu: dla współczesnej kultury, socjosfery oraz przed wszystkim dla komunikacji literackiej – czego dowodem są teksty zebrane w monografii składanej na ręce Czytelników. Ich centralnym punktem odniesienia jest fotografia – czy to w postaci „fotograficzności”, „fotogeniczności” analizowanych utworów, czy też jako medium towarzyszące tekstom literackim lub też jako wyodrębniający się z danego utworu literackiego (lub filmowego) środek przekazu generujący dodatkowe znaczenia. Na publikację składają się zarówno analizy (studia przypadku), jak i próby syntetyzujące rozważania o roli i funkcji fotografii w refleksji polskiego, angielskiego oraz niemieckiego obszaru kulturowo-językowego.

In additio...
