Prefiguracja a historiografia Haydena White’a w opowiadaniu Zielone Dzieci Olgi Tokarczuk
Prefiguration versus Hyden White’s Historiography in the Short Story Green Children

Summary/Abstract: In this article we link the category of myth prefiguration – as proposed by Erazm Kuźma – with Hayden White’s historiographical approach, as visible in Green Children from Bizarre Stories by Olga Tokarczuk. The goal of conceptualizing the story in the category of fictionalization (with comic, ironic and tragic patterns) is to compare traces of William of Newburgh’s historiographic relations to Olga Tokarczuk’s prefigurative storytelling model. The article is enriched with meta-reflections by the author herself, considering myth and history.
