The poet shows that apocalyptic narrations are a mythical discourse that brings down the complex process of man’s existence to a simplifi ed binary formula, reducing being in the world to a life – death dichotomy. The aim of poetry in such a reality is to shake the cliché-ridden language into greater evocative potential so as to enliven it. In Sylwetki i cienie, the function of poetry in late modernity enters the spotlight: notional binaries are broken apart, replaced by a nuanced space of linguistic game VL - 2013 IS - Numer 3 (17) 2013 PY - 2014 SN - 1897-1962 C1 - 2084-395X SP - 29 EP - 41 DO - 10.4467/2084395XWI.13.021.1557 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/wieloglos/artykul/poezja-po-koncu-swiata-sylwetki-i-cienie-andrzeja-sosnowskiego KW - Sosnowski Andrzej KW - Bielik-Robson Agata KW - de Man Paul KW - Derrida Jacques
