Abstract
Artykuł jest analizą powieści Miasto i miasto Chiny Miéville’a przedstawiającą autorską grę różnymi konwencjami, estetykami. Miéville, umieszczając swą powieść na przecięciu różnych gatunków, tradycji, kontekstów literackich, pozostawia otwarte pytanie, czy całość organizuje dominanta ontologiczna czy też epistemologiczna. Tym samym w specyficzny sposób definiuje pozycję odbiorcy – ten nieustannie jest zmuszany do redefinicji swojego „horyzontu oczekiwań”.
In my article, I will analyze The City and the City by China Miéville and argue that it contains an original interplay of various literary and aesthetic conventions. This novel by Miéville is actually a sort of a junction of different genres, traditions, and literary contexts, which above all addresses the problem of a transition between epistemology and ontology. In fact, the question whether the novel is organized by an epistemological dominant or an ontological one remains open. Consequently, even the reader’s position is unclear (or undecided) while s/he is forced to re-define his or her “horizon of expectations” again and again.
