Abstrakt: | On the basis of abundant short‑story
and novelistic material the author presents the formation
of the contemporary canon of the Shoah. According to Marta Tomczok, the domination
of the short story over the novelistic form constitutes a result of the dialogue of generations
and its influence upon the narrative situation of the prose by Agnieszka Kłos, Sylwia Chutnik
or Magdalena Tulli. And in a deeper sense, which is discernible in Czarne sezony by Michał
Głowiński, it involves a departure from the fictionalisation of the Shoah in favour of an autobiographical
and memoir reflection. The author perceives the causes of such a state of affairs in
the influence of Sąsiedzi by Jan Tomasz Gross upon Polish literature after 2000, and the rhetoric
of cruelty, which is more and more discernible in it, as well as in the separation of the historiographical
and the narrative discourses, which according to the author, influence each other in
the case of the contemporary narrations about the Shoah, above all in the sphere of the popular
novel. |
