• Description:
  The essay presents a study oli William Blakes Marriage of Heaven and Hell attempting to formulate main theses concerning the ethics of reading. Focusing upon two centrat elements of Blakes text - a group quality of an act oi reading shown in the text as an act of iriendslnp and its "internal" character - and following certain suggestions of Norman O. Brown, we try lo demonsirate that the poethics of reading (the term itself borrowed irom Gerard L.Bruns) begins as a moment of recognition of the importance and respect for the materiality of the everyday. Questioning such concepts as "intention" and "authorial meaning poethics also reveals itself to be only to a limited extent bound bv a traditional construction of the subject and represents or rewrites a text always in the interrogative mode, as a sequence of expanding contexts. An act of reading is thus demonstrated as already invaded by the Other and thus heterogeneous in its character A text studied is m Blake, as well as in the philosophy of poethics, a certain structure of desire and an arrangenmient of fissures in between the threads of consecutive contexts. A text is intertwined with the lacunae of silences, and therefore its body is constituled by the spaces hollowed out in it and disclosed by the act of reading. The body oi discourse is a distancing and diiferentiation which always work within language outlining meaning in, what Merleau-Ponty calls, the "inconceivable atness of being” In a word, a text is never hermetic, but m always "leaks" its meaning which, in its aleatoric character, delies our efforts at the stabilization of senses. Blakes "hell" with its "Proverbs" is but a name for such a dynamic, metamorphie quality of reading which rejects stasis and acts on the strength of the Dionysian anarchy.
