The paper summarizes some remarks on the metaphor of map, as it is used within the field of geopoetics. The first of its meanings refers to representation of literary space in a work of fiction. The second is often applied to describe an imaginary vision of real geographic (political, economic etc.) space. It is therefore determined (or “created”) by culture, or rather by innumerable cultural texts, which affect our common, i.e. culture-dependent imagination. In both cases “the map” should not be considered as a representation in its traditional meaning of something essentially present or given. Instead, Deleuzian metaphors of the rhizome and the fold seem more convenient here, as they highlight this unready, process- and interpretation-dependent character. The sets of metaphorical notions, such as “fold/ply”, “double fold/twofold/two-ply” and “folding/creasing/ironing imaginary maps” are used in this paper to clarify the idea of “antechamber effect”. In consequence, this is a phenomenon which, within the realm of literary imagination, renders some real territories with weak cultural potential nonexistent.

The first Polish edition of the epochal literary work Fearful Symmetry by Northrop Frye creates an occasion to reflect not only on William Blake’s place in world literature but also on his role as one of the first artists and philosophers to critically appraise the human condition in the modern world of the industrial society. It led him to – as Frye writes – demand “release of the creative power” and creation of vision of the “imaginative culture”, as such release inevitably appears as an important, if not the most important problem pertaining to society’s future. This requires new formula for spiritual experience liberated from restrictions of automatic application of “Moral Law” rules, which is inherent to institutionalised form of religion.

Pierwsze polskie wydanie epokowego dzieła Northropa Frye’a Straszliwa symetria stwarza okazję do podjęcia rozważań nad miejscem Williama Blake’a nie tylko w światowej literaturze, ale także jako jednego z pierwszych artystów i filozofów, którzy poddali krytycznej refleksji kondycję człowieka w nowoczesnym świecie przemysłowego społeczeństwa. Prowadziła ona do żądania, jak pisze Frye, „uwolnienia twórczej mocy” i stworzenia wizji „kultury wyobrażeniowej”, takie zaś uwolnienie jawi się nieuchronnie jako ważny, być może najważniejszy, problem dotyczący przyszłości społeczeństwa. Wymaga to również nowej formuły przeżycia duchowego uwolnionego od restryktywnych automatyzmów stosowania zasad „Moralnego Prawa” właściwego zinstytucjonalizowanym formom religijności.
