The author contemplates the functioning of the muteness method, as described in the poetry of Miłosz and Różewicz (especially in relation to Heidegger’s late concepts). Simultaneously, he questions the meaning of silence as a field of un-naming, a dismissal of a word when faced with a secret, muteness as a result of the contact with an ontological barrier, and eventually, as the condition of an ecstatic being. Therefore, the text undertakes the problem of a phenomenon of being (esse) – one of the crucial ones in Miłosz’s and Różewicz’s late output. The author concentrates on the various strategies of deconstructing a subject, as presented in the poetry of the above writers. At the same time he understands their poetry as a conscious act enabling the human perception of Being.
The paper consists of the review of a number of academic approaches to interdisciplinary research as represented by the Polish theorists of literature (Andrzej Hejmej, Michał P. Markowski, Ryszard Nycz). On the example taken from Tadeusz Nowak’s novel A jak królem, a jak katem będziesz, the author attempts to identify the nature of the close relations between anthropological and literary discourses, where the border line between them lies, and, consequently, what benefits for literary studies stem from anthropological readings.
