Abstract
THE DEVIL OF GARDZIENICE: THE DEVIL OF THE STORY. THE PROCESS OF STORYTELLING AS A FIGURE OF SOCIAL DISCOURSE On the 20th May of 2012 in Gardzienice village near Lublin, during my fieldwork, I conducted an interview. An integral part of it is the analysis of the story “The Devil of the XXI Century”. This story, a personal narrative, symbolically encodes the local social conflict between the “Gardzienice ‘Theatre’” and the village people of Gardzienice and it refers to the tradition of the demonology of the Lublin Region. This story – a personal myth – is in this perspective an empirical indicator of the Storyteller’s social status. The “Devil” is the central, symbolic mediator of this story, because it visualizes the narrative signal of the social conflict, which is communicated by the Storyteller in his story. The article presents the study of the social poetics and shows the hypothesis that the process of the storytelling is the figure of the local discourse of the conflict.
