NEGATIVES OF POSITIVES OR ON THE WRITERS’ PHOTOGRAPHS
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The article refers to a peculiar type of writer’s iconography, namely photographs present on the book covers. The photograph, similar to signature, is a sign of affinity and yet a dissentient voice against those literary critical projects which accentuate breaking the ties between the author and the text. Such antitheoretical dimension of writer’s photographs is connected to the numerous meanings and senses credited to them. A writer’s photograph is thus not only a document with identification function but also a space of creation and autocreation as well, a medium with the help of which the writer (or his/her publisher) attempts at an oftentimes sophisticated play with its reader. In this context a story about the metamorphoses of the writers’ representations is also a story about the place and significance of literature in a given society.
