Abstract

The paper is an attempt to highlight the importance of cultural texts created by authors from contemporary migration circles. There are several reasons for their relevance: without resorting to stereotypes, clichés and intermediations, using the original author’s language, they show traumatic experiences (Grenzsituationen) and testimonies; in the narratological sense, they combine the message of traditional oral culture with a contemporary author’s text of culture, making it possible to understand contents which are elusive for journalistic forms and the restrictions imposed on new media. It also describes the emergence of the refugee story sub­ genre at the beginning of the 21st century and the Polish culture in relation to this phenomenon.
