Opowiadanie zwizualizować pismem. O pracy Oskara Kolberga nad tekstami ludowymi
Visualising Story as Writing. On Oskar Kolberg's Work on Folk Texts

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper are folk tales presented here as a complex and multilayer cultural palimpsest which combines orality and textuality, folk creation, and high culture conventions demonstrated in a work of a folklorist – collector and editor. The issue of diverse understanding of fidelity of recording the folklore texts in the 19th c. is discussed here – as based on the analyses of field records the effects of spoken words transcriptions are reconstructed. The paper also accounts for many various performative aspects (e.g. the character of situation, tone of voice and gestures), then it the specificity of the work of folklorist-editor who wanted to most generously offer the reader what he saw and heard. The article’s goal is finding the context of Kolberg’s fables creation, namely all that accompanies telling the stories but lies outside the word.
