Abstract
The article is an attempt to read Stanislaw Wyspianski's plays as an epistemic activity. The author sees a historiosophical potential of his work in the consequent use of reconstruction strategies, referring both to the very popular 19th century practice of "living images" and the contemporary practice and theory of "reenactments". The analysis of the relation between the body and the image plays a crucial role in the attempt to show Wyspański also as a precursor of modern theatrical historiography.
