The thesis advocating a 'bankruptcy' or crisis of experience at the verge of 20th century, as first formulated by W. Benjamin and subsequently reconfirmed several times, aptly identifies a diminishing significance of the traditional concept of experience for the modern time and a modernist literature alike. It does not refer, however, to any other forms of experience, the need and possibility of articulating which having been the focus and source of creativity to certain most outstanding authors in modern literature. This article provides a synthetic characteristic of four main options of such writing quest, including: literature of experiment, literature of internal experience, literature of testimony, and, literature as experience, arguing, in consequence, in favour of validity of consideration of the entire modern literature as a literature of experience (in the modern forms assumed by the latter).

In the recent dozen-or-so years, the direction taken by changes in the literary studies has been extremely strongly stimulating a set of diversified tendencies which has become referred to (probably for good) as an anthropological-cultural turn. This article does not present a detailed panorama of those strivings (such a task has been taken up several times with success), but rather, an afterthought of opportunities and threats opened to or imposed on the literary theory (with its heritage, identity as a discipline and substantive obligations) as it enters into a strict relationship with the two disciplines proving most expansive in the humanities of today, i.e.: cultural anthropology, on the one hand, and cultural studies, on the other. The author argues that: (i) separateness of those inspirations has to be discerned; (ii) one should be aware of the consequences of the choices made: (a) practising anthropology of literature, one should take into account that its assumptions have to be subject to anthropology of culture as a meta-discipline of cultural sciences; (b) practising a cultural literary theory, one enters the route of never-ending interdisciplinary negotiations (primarily, with cultural studies) over remaining relatively autonomous and retaining identity as a discipline; (c) practising the poetics of experience, particularly one of a literary case study, one faces a risk of transdisciplinary studies that might lead to delineating a new configuration of disciplines in humanities and social sciences.

This is a rejoinder and an attempt at clarification of some of the queries and critical points raised by the reviewers of 'The Cultural Theory of Literature: Key Concepts and Problems' by M. P. Markowski and R. Nycz (Universitas, Kraków 2006), a book which marks the completion of the first stage of the construction of a cultural theory of literature. While addressing the range of opinions expressed during the debate on that project, the article examines at greater length the points made by Henryk Markiewicz in his review article published by 'Ruch Literacki', 2007 (2).
