| dc.description.abstract | The article presents the methodology of working on a literary text in the higher-secondary
school. By making his starting point reading of a fragment of a well-known novel, The Name
of the Rose by Umberto Eco, the author attempts to mark a wide horizon for his reflection,
which seems important from the perspective of various fields of the humanities, and which,
hopefully, may appear attractive to the pupil.
Interpretation of the said text, immersed in rich contextual network, turns into metareflection,
including the mechanisms of creation and impact of a certain kind of literary texts
(genology and reception of a detective story), and the difficulties in setting the limits between
popular and high culture, especially within the postmodern paradigm. An important element
is also the philosophical inquiry – inspired by the realized project – which concerns the
nature, possibilities and limitations of human cognition. | en_EN |
