Przestrzeń doświadczona, przestrzeń wytworzona – literackie topografie Litzmannstadt Getto (rekonesans). Część druga

Abstract

The focus of this part of the article is on fictional narratives of Litzmannstadt Getto. The selection includes both endotopic (J. Szpigel, A. Cytryn, Z. Larsson, F. Ka a, C. Rosenfarb) and exotopic texts (L. Epstein, S. Sem-Sandberg, A. Bart). In nearly all of the analyzed materials, unlike in non-fictional record, we deal with the detailed locations of the protagonists’ experience, which is largely due to the genre conventions. Additionally, what explains the low diversity in spatial experience is the fact that the exotopic authors relied to varied extent on historic documentation. Therefore, their topographies of the Łódź ghetto re-write the already existing texts, e.g. authored by the ghetto survivors.
