The present article is a reconsideration of the role of a well known but still quite ambiguous phenomenon of Polish cultural history: Catastrophism is understood here as a necessary by-product of 19th century Polish messianism. Since its very beginning messianistic thought has made use of a catastrophist mode of discourse: Historical events and political tendencies which are not compatible with the ideas of messianistic historiosophy are described as germs of future catastrophes and consigned to the realm of evil. The rhetoric of catastrophe is a means to manage the incommensurabilities between messianistic thought and historical reality. Often though, figures of exclusion and defensive struggle gain predominance, thus transforming the messianist utopia into a system of control and/or aggressive missionarism, as illustrated here on the basis of the writings of Jozef Maria Hoene-Wronski and Jerzy Braun.

In the classical current of Polish lyrical poetry, formed after 1989, strong catastrophic elements have recently emerged. This article is an attempt at demonstrating how catastrophism has become the crucial construction principle of the poem Trzecia część [Third part] of Krzysztof Koehler, one of the most important classicizing authors of new lyrical poetry. Building a catastrophic vision of the modern world, the poet-classicist reaches for tradition, refers to T.S. Eliot’s way of representation and conducts a hidden dialogue with the just post-war poetry of Czesław Miłosz.
