Omschrijving
Samenvatting:The article discusses selected narratives written from within the pandemic experience, created in the first months of 2020, defined by the inclusive category of pandemygraphy, which encompasses both essayistic projects and pandemic autobiographical literature. The analysis considers strategies of narrativizing the pandemic in its experiential, affective, and symbolic dimensions. Based on diverse stories – including those by A. Taborska, W. Grzegorzewska, P. Kapusta, M. Pakuła, along with diaries during the first period of the pandemic – the article analyzes the described survival strategies, including the autotherapeutic dimension of the narratives. Thus, the author reflects on the mechanisms of collective memory that resists the pandemic experience.
