Abstract
The article outlines a discussion between Radoslav Katičić, Zdenko Škreb, Milivoj Solar, Vladimir Biti and Josip Užarević regarding the relationship between language and literature that occurred in Croatian literary theory from the beginning of the 1970s to the middle of the 1980s. Special attention is given to the theoretical concepts developed by Biti. The article reminds of Biti’s well known critical remarks aimed at structuralism and hermeneutics but also emphasises his detachment from deconstruction. It is proposed that Biti’s detachment from deconstruction shares important similarities with Agamben’s and Deleuze’s critical reconceptualization of empiricism.
