Summary/Abstract: Analysing the strategy of challenge as a possible narrative approach in intercultural reportage, Horodecka elaborates on the notion of interculturality and its operation within literary studies. She also draws on other methodologies that are critical to analysing the image of the Other, such as (comparative) cultural studies and postcolonial studies, highlighting elements that apply the strategy of challenge and its rhetorical, emotive or interventionist functions. At times where the perspective of cultural relativism dominates, the presence of the strategy of challenge in reportage confirms the aporias that the subject encounters while getting to know and narrativising the culture of the Other. The subject inevitably mediates the reality of the Other both in the forms in which this reality is presented and in the subject’s own value system. Horodecka examines this phenomenon in the work of Å. Seierestad, J.S. Margot and P.I. Kalwas.
