Summary/Abstract: This article refers to the way of space functionalization in the Polish literature of recent decades, being, in various manners, a representation of experiences connected with the post-war resettlements of European population. The text demonstrates differences between phantasmatic spaces of Stefan Chwin and Paweł Huelle’s stories and heterotopic non-places in Inga Iwasiów and Joanna Bator’s novels.
