Starting from the contemporary trends in biography and referring to findings in the field of anthropology of writing and new materialism, the author analyzes poetic forms created in painting studios. She considers the works of O. Boznańska, W. Weiss and T. Tchórzewski as poetic manifestations of the literary practice of everyday life, a type of poeticised documents. The presence of poetry in artists’ lives is multi-faceted: loose pages preserved in a scrapbook, entries in a journal and autonomous works printed in the press, hence their role in creative biography is different. The common ground is a syncretic perception of creativity; the preserved texts co-create a kind of artistic site where the boundaries between the publication, the exhibition and the project performance blur, requiring special editing operations.

The article concerns the futuristic design of phonetic spelling by Bruno Jasieński, examined in the perspective of the anthropology of writing and cultural history. It is an attempt to answer the following questions: (1) why in the first half of the twentieth century an attack on the very visuality of letters — unveiling its non-transparency — begins to be perceived by both futurists and researchers on them as a revolt which achieves certain extreme; (2) what are the cultural origins of the belief that formal experiments on literary language are less bold and more keeping with tradition than experiments in character-shaping and spelling, and what cultural circumstances must exist so that a spelling experiment could become a tool for avant-garde attitudes which use it to constitute and emphasize their own radicalism. In order to answer this, I try to see the spelling in a historical and cultural perspective, understand it as a set of standards responsible, on one hand, for visual standardization of writing and written language, on the other hand — for social and cultural distinction based on the reference to the specific, historically variable and socially located literary competence. I also try to associate spelling with other extra-linguistic and extra-literary socio-political-cultural institutions: especially with education and a modern state as an „imagined community”.

Béatrice Fraenkel proposes her own understanding of the concept of a writing event, in opposition to the approach of New Literacy Studies, which perceives such an event as an element of everyday life, repetitive, routine and not worthy of attention, like reading a bedtime story to a child. The French anthropologist, on the other hand, calls writing events completely different activities: uncommon, subversive acts of performative power, revealing and releasing social energy, the need to contest reality or the desire for expression. According to Fraenkel, such events have a collective and historical meaning; they imply a break with the existing order, a change in the fate of society. As such events, the researcher recognises Zola’s open letter J’accuse, expressions of protest against the occupant appearing on the walls of Warsaw during World War II, especially the Fighting Poland anchor, or altars of remembrance spontaneously built after the attack on the World Trade Center. This is also how the Chilean action “NO+”, analysed by Pedro Araya, can be seen. The aim of the paper is to show in this perspective the written manifestations of the Women’s Strike of autumn 2020 and to examine, from this point of view, the traces it left behind in the urban space and network folklore. The notion of the humanities of protest, proposed by Filip Mazurkiewicz in relation to the protests in Hong Kong, provides the context for the discussion.
