Potencjał ewolucyjny metakrytyczności na przykładzie powieści graficznej Strażnicy Alana Moore’a i i Dave’a Gibbonsa

Abstract

In this article, I discuss the impact of self-awareness and metacritical tendencies within the texts of popular culture on the development of genres in the politypical chain. Preliminary analysis proposed in the second part of this paper concerns the contemporary comics – which represent the blurring of boundaries between "high" and “low” culture. As the subject of research in this brief study I chose Moore‟s graphic novel Watchmen, which is an exemplification of the evolutionary changes associated with metacritical attitude introduced in a schematic area of American superhero graphic stories.
