I'm finishing a small book made with various writings and pieces of conference papers that cover these last five years and that may serve as a conclusion of my Varsovian period. The title, "coming humanities", stupidly post-Agambenian, is auto-ironic. I cannot stop being ironic about myself, especially about me in Warsaw: the most useless member of the Faculty "Artes Liberales". They should give me any distinction or award for the courage of eliminating myself.

Together with the history of the Portuguese literature that I really want to finish and submit to the editor before the end of the year, the Coming Humanities book will be the last one I publish in Polish.
