Abstract
REPRESENTATION OF NOWA HUTA IN THE CONTEMPORARY FABULAR PROSE: FEMINITY, ROMANTICISM AND THE NEW BEGINNING The text undertakes an analysis of representation of Nowa Huta in contemporary fiction, in attempt to discover whether a new ways of description have been invented (in the context of strong and influential myths dating back do 1950’s). It focuses on three texts: Hanna Sokołowska’s thriller Kosa, Jewgienij T. Olejniczak’s fantasy novella Tajemna historia Nowej Huty and Adam Miklasz’s Ostatni mecz, a story of Nowa Huta football team and its fans. A couple of common problems in the discussed texts are observed and examined, such as: representation of feminity (attribution of creative force to women), romantic paradigm, relation between private and public and rewriting of Nowa Huta genesis. What seems to be a major problem is crisis of community, distrust of common values and shift towards individualism (in Miklasz’s book the case is more complicated).
