Having assumed that analysis of the language of art and divulgence of the conventionality of representations of the reality are the determinants of modernity in the arts, the avant-garde has virtually eliminated historical experience as part of its area of interest. As a result, the language of literature and modern (avant-garde) art proved impotent against the major historical experience of the twentieth century, that is, mass-scale genocide initiated by the Bolshevik revolution. The experience, once lost for the radical (post)modernist art in the former half of the century, has only been reconstructed through writings on the Holocaust and World-War II genocides. The condition for all those records has namely been the assumption of extra-textuality of historical experience, entailing inviolability of the category of the truth that verifies the basic sense, rather than a value, of any such writings. Historical experience proves to be the key element making the eastern-European modernism different from the American or western-European modernism.

The author embarks on analysing altered literary studies concepts in Poland of the recent few decades. He sees the reasons for such changes in the social, cultural, as well as methodological factors. Emphasised is the differing nature of the concept of literary studies' subject in the traditions of eastern-European and western-European literary scholarship. He believes that within this scholarship area of today, two different discourses tend to clash against each other. One of them strives for precision and specialisation, the other is aiming at free contemplation and at crossing any borders. In author's opinion, if our contemporary literary studies abandon the text as the basic area of investigation, in favour of cultural research, then literary study will get diluted in an all-inclusive 'humanities soup'. College departments such as cultural studies will accordingly regard literary scholars as not being in demand at all any more.
