"What is Poetry?" Reconsidered
Original language description
The paper looks back to Jakobson's definition of poetry as formulated in his 'What is Poetry?' and 'Linguistics and Poetics'. It begins with a polemic essay written by Petr Fidelius that criticized Jakobson's functional approach to poetry for its reliance on a specific attitude of a reader. Is an artistic status of a text determined by its author's intention (as Fidelius believes), by properties of an artifact (as, according to Miroslav Červenka, suggests Jakobson's later reformulation of the poetic function), or by a recipient's attitude? These questions are discussed in view of several key studies asking 'What is Art?' (Shklovsky, Beardsley, Goodman, etc.). In conclusion, the author of the paper emphasizes the present significance of Jakobson's conception of poetry that, despite the fact that it does not provide us with a universal definition of what is art, continues to give us very stimulating answers to a question that might be even more important: 'What does art do?'
