Czytanie Miłosza. O trzech postaciach ideologii estetycznej

Reading Miłosz. On Three Forms of Aesthetic Ideology

It is the first attempt to use de Man’s concept in the analysis of Polish modernist literature perceived as cultural formation of the 20th century. The features and peculiarities of Miłosz’s texts are pondered mainly theoretically and not in terms of historical poetics. The author analyses metaphorical and rhetorical reading, allegory and irony as well as three forms of aesthetic ideology: metalepsis, synecdoche and mimesis.

Keywords: Czesław Miłosz, aesthetic ideology, metaphorical reading, rhetorical reading, modernist literature.
