Pamiątki, talizmany, towarzysze podróży... – szkic o istocie rzeczy w historiach małych migrantów na wybranych przykładach z polskiej literatury dziecięcej
Souvenirs, Talismans, Travel Companions… – An Outline on the Essence of Things in the Stories of Young Migrants on Selected Examples from Polish Children’s Literature

Summary/Abstract: Things play an important role in the multicultural world – for example, they are indispensable element of migration. Moreover, their presence or absence becomes an important aspect of literary analysis – after all, they affect the fate of characters and sometimes they become characters themselves. Therefore, the author of the article considers selected examples from children’s literature – Wysiedleni [The Dis­placed] by Dorota Combrzyńska-Nogala (2018), Moje Bullerbyn [My Bullerbyn] and Teraz tu jest nasz dom [This Is Our Home Now] by Barbara Gawryluk (2010, 2016), Kota, który zgubił dom [The Cat that Lost His Home] by Ewa Nowak (2016), and Hebanowe serce [Ebony Heart] by Renata Piątkowska (2016) – through the lens of the anthropology of things. She analyses the impact of the presence of things in a text from the perspective of migration experiences, indicating the functions they play in the lives of young people living in a multicultural world.
