This article evokes the issue of so-called 'death of theory' once again. Whilst approaching it in the perspective of achievements of the Central and Eastern-European literary studies of the former half of 20th century, the authoress argues that heralding an end of Theory is but 'chatter' (as Karol Irzykowski once named his contemporary statements of a crisis of novel) which, if to anything, refers to certain reduced versions of theoretical literary studies, excerpted from a late French structuralism. Juxtaposed against this achronotopic hypostasis is a concept of Theory as a cultural utterance that was conceived in the Central/Eastern Europe area roughly between 1900 and 1930. This particular version is being continued by those advocating a double simulated 'death'.

The article attempts at reconstructing an avant-garde modern Polish literary science project which took shape between 1912 and 1937 in the Warsaw-Vilnius group, as part of polemic discontinuance against, simultaneously, the positivist and the symbolist (phenomenological-hermeneutic) project. The authoress explains how difficult it was to reproduce the project in question, which is mainly owing to the fact that the basic form of activity of the First Literary Avant-garde, in Poland and in other Central/Eastern-European areas, was students' scholarly circles. It is pointed out that the novel concepts emerging in the group's teamwork established a model of literary science that was subsequently followed up in the post-war structuralist phase and has survived till this day, contrary to the opinions of some critics.

The article concerns itself with the conception of the author developed in early 20th-century philosophy of oral culture in Eastern and Central Europe. Opposed both to the then dominant transcendental approaches with its insistence on the separation of the textual subject from the empirical author as well as to the enduringly popular idea of 'la mort de l'auteur', which acknowledges at best a 'weak' or 'dispersed' authorial presence in the work, this idea found its most cogent expression in the works of Mikhail Bakhtin. The article is an attempt at reconstructing his idea of the author and authorship as it took shape in the context of Russian social and philosophical thought, the changing political situation, and Bakhtin's own life. The reconstruction is based both on his explicit formulations as well as the assumptions and implications inscribed into his whole critical output (the latest, corrected editions of his works have been found of considerable value in this respect). With this updated reading of Bakhtin's texts it is possible not only to reassess his position on some points of literary theory but also to gain a whole range of additional insights.

Ingarden's philosophy of literature was inspired by Husserl, Twardowski and Bergson. Yet it was Bergson with his studies about time and duration as well as the material traces of time impressed in memory that appears to have been not only a major influence on Ingarden's semantic imagination but also an inspiration for his narrative conception of meaning. This article examines the sequential aspects of Ingarden's theory of the literary work, focusing on the irresolvable tension between the temporality (instability) of meanings and their spatiality (stability), Ingarden is thus situated in the context of formalist approaches, also indebted to Bergson, whose inspiration played a key role in the rise of Central European narrativist studies betore the war. The Bergson connection has also intluenced their distinctness with regard to constructivist and conventionalist tendencies and a much easier relationship with various cognitivistic projects.
