Is Avant-garde still possible? The Aporias, the Echoes, the Innovations The purpose of the article is to introduce the topic of the modern continuation of the tradition of Avant-garde. The authoress points out the aporias concerning the notions such as: “avant-garde”, “originality and “newness”. The relations between the terms are often complicated. The so-called “avant-garde literary works” are not always meant to be original, because some writers use techniques of composition, which are well-known in the history of literature, and apply them with no modifi cation. The authoress of this article presents arguments and examples of the phenomenon. She tries to answer the question when a literary work, which is refered to the tradition of avant-garde, can be original? The article aims to demonstrate that the understanding of the problem of literary innovations is only possible in the historical context of the literature.
