The paper deals with the central problem of Lessing’s Laocoön „Why does not marble Laocoön in his famous depiction scream?“ against division of our experience into scientific knowledge and art. First, Lessing’s original solution based on the constitutive differences between poetry and plastic arts is generalized leading to the difference between causal and intentional explanation. Second, the resulting discontinuity between science and art is presented as an instance of a more basic discontinuity between knowledge and its object to be overcome by a reflective account of knowledge as derived from the philosophy of Hegel.

This paper aims to read Doris Lessing’s “The golden notebook” as a literary experiment, which struggles to find meaning amid fragmented narratives. Aiming to reflect the structure of the experience of mental breakdown, the novel is abundant with literary strategies meant to enhance the understanding of the Real (in Lacanian sense) experience of the main protagonist. Ultimately, all of the stylistic endeavours are doomed to failure, and the experience which cannot be directly communicated surfaces as traumatic: it escapes both chronology and understanding; it renders the protagonist helpless against reality, which she perceives as full of violence. The reason behind the breakdown is elusive, yet it seems to be grounded in historical reality of the twentieth century. Through its inability to convey a message in a conventional novelistic form, “The golden notebook” emerges as a witness to the traumatic nature of human experience of the modern era.

This paper demonstrates how space and spatial relations where conceptualized in the Polish poetics of the early nineteenth century. The author concentrates mainly on different uses of the term “place” in theoretical treaties of the period. Comparing how this term is used in reference to drama and to other genres which represent the epoch leads to the following conclusion. Namely, in literary criticism of the times the concept of literature understood as the practice of “painting with words” was in fact a substitute for the concept of literature as spatiotemporal structure.
