Il gioco con la convenzione della fiaba e della letteratura per l’infanzia in Zwierzoczłekoupiór di Tadeusz Konwicki

L'articolo esamina l'utilizzo del materiale folcloristico da parte di Tadeusz Konwicki nel suo romanzo Zwierzoczłekoupiór, inserendolo nell'alveo del più ampio discorso sui Kresy portato avanti dall'autore. // The article analyses how the author exploits mockery on the convention of fairy tales and children’s literature in the narrative thread set in the Green Valley. This storyline resembles a fairy tale, but its characters are a grotesque parody of the figures usually present in tales, intended both as folkloric narration and as a genre of children’s literature. Other elements of Polish Borderland folklore are strewn everywhere in the Valley. All fairy-tale elements are shown in a slanted or degraded form. The blend of fantasy and Borderland scenery places this territory on the same ontological level as the marvellous.
