Abstract
The work focuses on recognizing the features of each individual language-centered poetics, refer ring to philosophy of common person and aesthetics. For instance the Generation 68 of Polish linguistic writers involves opposite results to the imperative “to protect my own language from fabrication and depravation”. The opposition “trustfulness-distrustfulness” does not cover all possible complications within the realm of poetic metareflection. These reflections are located between poetical optimism and pessimism. The latter is highly related to what is called “the crisis of language”. The work investigates the role of linguistic poetry of Stanisław Barańczak in breaking down the conventional optimism of Polish belles-letters style. The article explores the use of irony as a form of linguistic dissidence in the poetry of a Polish poet, Stanislaw Barańczak. It offers an analysis of poems, written in the period between 1968 and 1978 and which expose political and social preoccupations of PRL (Polish People’s Republic) at the time. It shows that the ironic stance serves as a dissenting voice against the politics of the state as well as the social situation, while the employment of extra-literary language serves the purpose of discrediting the “official word”.
