Vol. 20 No. 2 (2022): Critique and Critical Thinking. Presentations: Jan Maszczyszyn

In the main section of the new issue, the authors examine questions related to broadly understood criticism. The articles concern, among others, Theodor Adorno's philosophy of art (Rafał Czekaj), Szczepan Kopyta's poetry in the context of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene (Patryk Szaj), the groundbreaking project of post-criticism in literary studies by Rita Felski (Tomasz Mizerkiewicz), or the role of criticism in the institution of theatre (Aneta Głowacka). These texts examine criticism in the contemporary academy in various ways, showing the limitations, potential, and necessary reformulations of this category in the light of various crises. The Presentations section, on the other hand, is devoted to the work of Jan Maszczyszyn. The writer is interviewed by Konrad Kamil Zielonka, who also devoted a separate commentary to the Trylogia Solarna. In the latest issue, we also published the short story Historia Księżycowa.
