Literackie konstrukty dawnej wsi, ludowości i folkloru we współczesnych publikacjach dla dzieci. Między mitem a fantazmatem – rekonesans
Literary Constructs of the Old Countryside and Folklore in Contemporary Children’s Publications: Between Myth and Phantasm – A Reconnaissance

Summary/Abstract: The article explores contemporary children's publications released between 2014 and 2024, in which constructs such as traditional culture, Polish folklore, the so-called old countryside, as well as folk conceptualisations of the world and humanity form the foundation for the narrative, formal, and thematic structure. Taking into account various types of children's texts, the author attempts to describe the mechanisms by which native authors present and interpret selected aspects of cultural reality, as well as the dominant narrative and interpretive paradigms – that is, the ways in which the countryside is perceived and how folklore and traditional culture are conceptualised. The article also examines and problematises phenomena such as mythologisation, simplification, stereotyping, folklorism, and stylisation into folklore.
