Śmierć żuczka „in flagranti” („Bajka o królewnie, której nie było” Marka Krystiana Emanuela Baczewskiego)

Abstract

The aim of this article is an attempt to incorporate the works by Marek Krystian Emanuel Baczewski — a modern writer and poet — into the framework of a lesson, and to present an idea for an interpretation one of his short stories. The author presents the new ways of reading the text by Baczewski through linking up the microscale perspective with zoocentric perspective. The micrological gesture is the prelude to considerations in the spirit of animal studies. This way of thinking may be conducive to broadening the students’ skills of perception. Teaching young people to pay attention to details can be also a good experiment. They can be taught that literature is not a one‑ dimensional subject and that the text can be reinterpreted in many different ways.
