W regionie niepodobieństwa. Gatunkowy obraz świata nowoczesnego wiersza hymnicznego (preliminaria teoretyczne)

Abstract

The paper reconstructs the generic worldview of modern hymnal verse. The hymn is an epistemic, axiological, aesthetic and ideological mode of feeling, a performative subjectivized practice that locates the self in natural and social realities. An analysis of theoretical statements (from the letters of St. Paul of Tarsus to the treatises of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel) and modern conceptions of the sublime and fury, reveal that the hymn distributed a Platonic-Plotinian-Augustinian vision of being as a dynamic structure of annihilation and repair, separation and unification, unlikeness and likeness. The movement of the hymnic self is structured by the logic of the rite of passage: separation from the initial state (the region of unlikeness), liminal suspension and inclusion in the new state (the region of likeness). The work reconstructs the anthropological, social and communicative determinants of the identity of the hymnic self, and the prosodic and referential properties of its speech, which make present the ontic structure (the generic worldview) that is oppositional to the initial one.
