TI - Polish Literary Studies: the Crisis versus Bureaucratic Vitality (Cyril Northcote Parkinson's Law of "the Rising Pyramid")
AB - 
	“The literature holds on firmly! And the literary science with it!” These are the first two sentences of the Adam F. Kola’s article ANT-ologia literatury (“Przegląd Kulturoznawczy” 2013, no. 1, p. 35). However, on could argue about the dependence on literature apparently innate to the literary science and the directly proportional relationship between them: the stronger is the first one, the stronger is the second. The literary science became on a large scale independent from the literature and its power derives from its bureaucratic status. Cyril Northcote Parkinson (“the rising pyramid” of bureaucracy) allows us to see the institutional foundation of the literary science independent from the literature.
