The article outlines the cultural context of Russian women who contributed to the development of decadent poetry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most now forgotten or “occulted” (eclipsed, crowded out). Given the importance of gender theories and “feminine” discursive space in the Silver Age, this phenomenon must be examined; it is not just a typical example of women written out of literary history. The article suggests reasons why decadence may have appealed to women as well as why Russian women who adopted a specifically decadent position might not have been taken seriously. It ends by suggesting why more famous Russian poets (especially Axmatova and Cvetaeva, whose reputations have lasted and grown) achieved more lasting influence thanks to their occulted female predecessors.

Literary scholarship remains a privileged domain of postcolonial studies — of both the theorisation of coloniser–colonised relations, and the interpretation of particular phenomena symptomatic of such relations. This inquiry defines “postcoloniality” as a frame of mind, individual or collective, characterised by abstinence from colonial self-assertion and anti-colonial ressentiment and by the quest for means by which the interests of the former antagonists and co-participants in the colonial situation can be harmonised. The question posed is to what extent the evidence of such a frame of mind is to be discovered in the scholarly encounter with literature in Ukraine during the period of its independence; and, second, to what extent participation in the discursive field of postcolonial studies is discernible in an important institution of professional literary scholarship in Ukraine: the journal Slovo i chas. Sampling reveals a relatively limited presence of scholarship that identifies itself as postcolonial or that distances itself, through participation in international scholarly debates, from practices and conceptions inherited from the colonial past.

C. S. Lewis was one of the major scholars of literature in the 20th century. His contribution to the art of reading deserves a re-consideration and is therefore reconstructed and analysed in this paper. Topcis that are highlighted in this connection are the types of literary scholarship most useful to a proper understanding of old texts, the types of readers that exist, the controversies in which Lewis engaged concerning the interpretation of Milton, the importance of philological knowledge for literary scholars as well as the pitfalls of literary criticism. In many respects, C. S. Lewis is at odds with currently fashionable approaches to literature-and thus provides a welcome challenge to dominant paradigms of reading texts.

Michał KrzykawskiFaculty of PhilologyUniversity of Silesia in Katowice What After French Theory? A Troublesome LegacyThe goal of the present article is a critical reading of the legacy of the French theory, which exerted a powerful impact upon the shape of the discourse of contemporary literary studies in Poland. Insofar as “practising theory,” which has, by and large, replaced “practising literature,” indeed revived the Polish humanities in the 1990s, today the real epistemological potential of the poststructural theoretical instruments seems to be fading. The subsequent “turns,” proclaimed in the milieus of the “new” humanities seem to endorse the intellectual status quo, because they take place within the limits of the same paradigm, to which their purely declarative character testifies. The literary scholarship of/in the future will therefore be the scholarship of retreat.Keywords: French theory, literary scholarship, poststructuralism, theoretical paradigms Co po French Theory? Kłopotliwe dziedzictwo Celem niniejszego artykułu jest krytyczne odczytanie dziedzictwa po French Theory, które miało znaczący wpływ na kształt współczesnego dyskursu literaturoznawczego w Polsce. O ile jednak „uprawianie teorii”, które w dużej mierze zastąpiło „uprawianie literatury” jako takiej, było niezwykle ożywcze dla rozwoju polskiej humanistyki w latach dziewięćdziesiątych, o tyle dzisiaj poststrukturalistyczne narzędzia teoretyczne wytraciły swój realny potencjał epistemologiczny. Ogłaszane w („nowej”) humanistyce zwroty pogłębiają jedynie intelektualne status quo, gdyż dokonują się one w ramach tego samego paradygmatu, o czym najlepiej świadczy ich czysto deklaratywny charakter.
