Abstract

In his article, Maciej Michalski discusses some of the challenges of literary education caused by the pandemic and other contemporary crises (social, environmental, and cognitive). He argues that it is necessary to reduce the growing gap between the content of school education and the problems of the contemporary world. Michalski submits that more emphasis should be put on developing in students attitudes based on empathy, understanding, tolerance, and resilience, which will help them to cope with anxieties and the challenges of the contemporary world. He argues that it is crucial to abandon the text-centered perspective, to use a wider range of non-literary texts, and to show that interpretation can be conceived also as a type of social practice.
