The article summarizes four years of my research conducted in the archives of liberatic avant-garde authors: the post-war British writer B.S. Johnson and the Polish artists Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik. Tracking the history of their collections, I pay attention to their multimodal character, corresponding to the authors’ unconventional works. I illustrate how Johnson, Fajfer and Bazarnik organise their materials, so as to examine similarities and differences between their ways of handling avant-garde collections.

Artykuł jest podsumowaniem czteroletniej pracy w archiwach liberatów – angielskiego pisarza powojennego B.S. Johnsona oraz polskich twórców: Zenona Fajfera i Katarzyny Bazarnik. Omówiona zostaje w nim historia obu kolekcji oraz ich multimodalny charakter, korespondujący z awangardowymi dziełami autorów. W perspektywie komparatystycznej ukazane są strategie porządkowania wybierane przez Johnsona oraz Fajfera i Bazarnik, a także podobieństwa i różnice w ich sposobach archiwizowania literatury niekonwencjonalnej.

Sekrety Zenona Fajfera

Liberature, the literary project created by Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik, is usually read from the material perspective, which emphasizes the formal qualities of a work. The article tries to choose a different path. Firstly, it constructs the figure of a secret as the unrevealed foundation of Fajfer’s books. Secondly, it proposes to read this secret in the Marano mode. Hence, the secret of Marano, a Jew who has to conceal his own identity, supported by Jacques Derrida’s observations, becomes a departure point for a new hermeneutic model.

Artykuł stanowi swoisty teoretyczny wstęp do zjawiska artystycznego zwanego liberaturą. Zostaje w nim podjęta jedna z pierwszych prób usytuowania liberatury w ramach tradycji literackiej, jednak bez szczegółowego badania konkretnych odniesień intertekstualnych. Na początku pokrótce przedstawiono zakres znaczeniowy terminu „liberatura”, przyrównując ową formę do innych form artystycznego wyrazu. Następnie zadano kilka kluczowych pytań dotyczących liberatury i wskazano możliwe odpowiedzi. Szkic ma na celu – poprzez postawienie szeregu problemów badawczych – zwrócenie uwagi na konieczność prowadzenia badań teoretycznych nad liberaturą.

The article is aimed to be a theoretical introduction into the artistic phenomenon called liberature. One of the fi rst att empts to locate liberature within literary tradition is made, although without a detailed analysis of specifi c intertextual references. In the beginning, the scope of the notion of “liberature” is presented and compared to other forms of artistic expression. Subsequently, several key questions concerning liberature are asked and possible answers are indicated. The purpose of the essay is – through pointing to some of the research problems – to draw academics’ att ention to the need for a theoretical research on liberature.

The paper poses the question about the corporeality of a liberary work. In the first part, the discussion is focused on the issue of a body, based on the phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The second part presents the concept of liberature or, as it is often called, total literature. The last two sections are centred on the problem of the two types of a liberary “body,” as well as on the similarities between the phenomenological idea of the body and the corporeality of a liberary text.

In the first part of the paper devoted to the multidimensional analysis and interpretation of the novel by Reif Larsen, I show that the liberary optics will allow its optimal reading. The analysis of the form of this work, its “flesh”, was carried out in relation to the proposals of Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik — the founders of the liberature theory, which centres its interest on the materiality of the book as a physical object, focusing on the integrity of the form of the recording with the content conveyed. Selected anatomical details of a liberary text are its “external” characteristics, manifested mainly in the shape and the structure of the book, as well as in the related field of intermedia. I have established that the media conveying the meaning of The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet are: the text and the material form of the book, forming an organic whole; all its elements, including the non-verbal ones, are the media of its meaning. The important elements include, among others, its format imitating the shape and dimensions of a popular American spiral notebook; increased spacing mimicking printing rulings; multi-topic marginalia; a small font size — reflecting the handwriting of a young cartographer; numerical values (e.g.: the dimensions of the volume, the number of chapters, the numbering contained in infographics, the numbering of exhibits displayed on the cover and the website); transtextual operations (e.g.: intertextual quotation-motto, hypertextual graphic references to Moby Dick by Herman Melville or the metatextual reference to the philosophy of Plato).
