Retelling w historiach alternatywnych
Retelling in alternative histories

Summary/Abstract: Retelling, or re-telling a story, has become established in Polish literature primarily in relation to myths, legends, fairy tales, fantasy and postmodern literature. Meanwhile, the theses related to it work well on the basis of historiography and alternative histories, implementing a different scenario of history. The relationship of retelling to this type of literature is rarely analysed. Then again, research on alternative histories deals with the issues of renarration, intertextuality, reinterpretation and the world upside down, which are sometimes equated with retelling. This article is devoted to the above-mentioned issues.
