Studia interdyscyplinarne a literaturoznawstwo polskie. Od zmian instytucjonalnych do nowego projektu konstruowania indywidualnej tożsamości

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to underline the role of interdisciplinary approach in development of literary studies. It is especially important task in the context of Polish (but also the other post-communist East and Central European countries) humanities. However, in this article I emphasize that “interdisciplinarity” is not only an abstract idea, but we should analyze it in the institutional context of Academy. That is the reason why I am trying to show all positive realizations of interdisciplinary research and possible paths of development of such an approach in the field of literary studies. Moreover, I outline the role of interpretative community (Stanley Fish) for our individual scholar identity, and therefore for our idiosyncratic interpretations. In the final part of the text all institutional restrictions and community limitations are presented, together with proposals and applications to break through all those boundaries.
