The text is an attempt to indicate innovatory terminological solutions and their critical reception of the so-called cultural theory of literature, being formed in the last decade, on the basis of the last proposal included in Poetyka doświadczenia (“Poetics of Experience”) by Ryszard Nycz. The author of the essay concentrates on the fundamental humanistic notions, for example experiencing, happening, paradigmaticality, interdisciplinarity in the studies into literature or intertextuality, which, from this viewpoint, are subject to redefinition and a kind of conceptualization. A separate place in these considerations is occupied by the comparison of the stance of the author of Sylwy współczesne with the recent writings of Michał Paweł Markowski and the argument with the analysis of specific case studies included in the ending of Poetics of Experience.

The text tackles the question of the phenomenon of being, one of the crucial issues in Mitosz's late poetry. The author analyzes Mitosz's various strategies of constructing and deconstructing the subject, and interprets them as conscious acts which make man's perception of Being possible. At the article's core stands the poet's inter-semiotic dialogue with Martin Heidegger's philosophy of language as set around the question of the articulation of existence in the poetic word.
