Rewitalizacja opowieści w literaturze fantasy dla młodzieży - na podstawie wybranych utworów

Abstract

It may be noticed that in recent years authors of fantasy fiction for children have gained interest in various forms of tales and stories. Revitalisation of a tale results from the ongoing scientific discourse among the representatives of various fields: anthropologists, ethnologists, psychologists and pedagogues, literary critics and theoreticians. Scientists and researchers use a widely understood metaphor when referring to the relation between the man and the being, the surrounding reality. Besides the metaphorical animation of a tale, the noticeable aspect in the scientific dispute is that of genological transformation, which affects the functioning of a tale in its traditional form. The issues presented in the scientific discourse are reflected in the quoted works. Analysis of the texts leads to identification of the crucial communicates, encoded by the metaphor of a tale, and reveals the methods and techniques of using its diverse forms in literature.
