Buka i bes: apokalipsa književnosti i tišina

Abstract

Given the proliferation of (scientific) discourse, the paper seeks to examine the possibility of being in silence with literature. Furthermore, one of the key issues is the question as to what extent a literary work can be subject to critical analysis in terms of individual, personal experience of art. The paper starts off with “the sound and the fury” of the theoretical apparatus and ends with an emphasis on Paul de Man’s “misreading”, thus questioning a purely analytical approach to literature.
