Od duchowości do ideologii. Twórczość Konstantego Ildefonsa Gałczyńskiego w krytyce literackiej po 1989 roku

Abstract

Literary criticism after 1989 proved to be important for the legacy ofthe poet. Reflection on criticism in the new socio-po litical conditions enriched the image of his literary achieve ments. The epistemological function of criticism was most frequently present in the form ofrecoding which stimulated a dialogue with earlier interpretations and perceptions of culture. Occasionally, it took the form ofinterpreting unpublished literary works. The interests of critics - spirituality/religiousness and the connection with socialist realism – on the one hand, expose distortions of previous specifications, and on the other hand, reveal the ambiguity ofthe meaning ofliterary works known for their abundance ofhidden mean ings, erudition of the poet, the poet’s play with the circula tion of culture as well as discretely revealed spirituality. The diversity ofinterpretations ofthe poet’s works contributed to an emergence ofmetacritic drafts representing the dynamics of the dialogue about the literary output of the artist who was aware of his distinctness and ambivalent interpretation of his works.
