The article sets out to answer the question whether there exists a subgenre of regional crime fiction in Poland. In Europe and particularly in Germany, unlike in Poland, it enjoys considerable popularity among the readers. It stands out not just due to its region-specific geographical features but also certain elements of the narrative, such as dialect. Why is the regional crime fiction in Poland virtually non-existent or adapted to fit other subgenres? Is there any scope for it to come out of the shadows of subgenres such as historical or urban crime fiction? This article pivots around those questions, attempts to outline the structure of regional crime fiction, and introduces an example to demonstrate what Polish novels in this subgenre could aim to be.

Artykuł zamierza odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy w ogóle istnieje w Polsce subgatunek regionalnej powieści kryminalnej. W przeciwieństwie do polskiej rzeczywistości literackiej na zachodzie Europy, przede wszystkim w Niemczech, cieszy się on wśród czytelników sporą popularnością. Wyróżnia się nie tylko konkretnym (regionalnym) sznytem przestrzennym, ale też innymi elementami narracyjnymi, jak np. dialektem. Dlaczego jednak nad Wisłą do tej pory kryminał regionalny tkwi w niebycie lub przyjmuje inne kształty gatunkowe? Czy jest w stanie wyjść z cienia kryminałów historycznych albo miejskich? Właśnie te zagadnienia znajdują się w centrum zainteresowania artykułu, który próbuje z perspektywy strukturalistycznej oraz tzw. teorii literatury regionalnej naświetlić kompozycję kryminału typu regio. Powołując się na pewien literacki przykład, ukazuje, jak polski regional crime fiction mógłby wyglądać, gdyby samo pojęcie zostało terminologicznie dopracowane i było przede wszystkim w samym dyskursie wykorzystywane.

In the German linguistic literary studies there is an observable tendency to analyse texts from the perspective of the “rhetoric of memory”; to the fore comes an attempt to situate them in the discourse of the memory. During the analyses two fundamental questions are posed: about the structures of the memory texts on the one hand, and about the structures of the narratively presented recollections on the other. The narrative conception in the novel by Eleonora Hummel Die Fische von Berlin consists of heterogeneous single recollections which inosculate with each other and constitute a homogeneous (collective) memory. In Hummel’s history about “Russian Germans” (“Russlanddeutsche”) two memory trails are accentuated, pertinent to two different generations. For this reason her novel can be classified as the subgenre of the “memory novel.”

The aim of the following paper was to analyse the history of crime literature genre – which is perceived in the terms of kitsch and structural conventionality – from the perspective of religious morality, ethics and aesthetics, in order to show that between theology and bloody crime fiction there are many similarities. Criminal poetry is not only close to the Bible and Christian philosophy in respect of the subject matter or used motives, but also in regard to the conceptual narrative means that were used. One can even venture the statement that crime novel – this term stands for its various variants – on the one hand derives from the biblical theology, on the other hand creates a kind of “new Bible” on his own and a specific religion: the so-called religion in-between, religion between impious crime and pious crime solving.

Die sogenannte Heimatliteratur wird in der Regel durch kitschige Sentimentalität gekennzeichnet. In der nostalgischen narrativen Weltwahrnehmung der Heimat wird das Motiv der (verlorenen) Heimat zum Symbolgerüst der Melancholie und Heraufbeschwörung der vergangenen Zeiten. Man könnte deshalb annehmen, dass auch im Werk von Paul Keller – dem schlesischen Heimatschriftsteller schlechthin – das Heimatbild ähnliche Formen annehmen würde. In Kellers Der Sohn der Hagar wird allerdings der Heimat-Topos nicht auf die Parameter der regionalen Heimatliebe eingeschränkt, sondern durch die Dimensionen des christlichen Glaubens und des Selbstsicherheits-Faktors ersetzt. Der schlesische Heimatroman Kellers ist somit weniger als ein Text über die Heimat Schlesien zu begreifen, stattdessen als ein Roman über die Suche nach der Heimat und der eigenen Identität.

The so-called Heimatliteratur which, as it is considered by its critics, is part of the trivial literature, is characterised by a kind of kitschy sentimentality. In the nostalgic, narrative world perception of the Heimat the motive of the (lost) homeland prevails, which becomes the symbol of the melancholy and the reminiscence of the past history. For this reason, one can assume that in Paul Keller’s prose – the most popular Silesian writer of this trend– the homeland image takes similar forms too. However, in the novel Der Sohn der Hagar the homeland topos does not restrict itself to the parameter of the region­al love of the homeland, but, what might surprise, is transformed by the Christian faith and the safety factor. Owing to that fact, Keller’s Silesian ‚Heimatroman‘ should not be considered as a novel about Silesian small homeland, but as a novel about the search for one’s own homeland and own identity.

Not much has been known about the Komprachcice organ made in 1937 until now. The main purpose of this contribution was to fill this research gap, which was associated with an attempt to reconstruct the process of building the instrument and outline its historical context. By analyzing the available materials and documents preserved in the parish archives in Komprachcice and the archives of one of the most famous organ-building companies of the 19th and 20th centuries, "GFSteinmeyer & Strebel, Orgel- und Harmoniumbau" based in Oettingen, it was possible to reproduce the subsequent stages of work on the construction of the organ from the moment of determining the technical conditions through the following implementation phases. The exact query also cleared up some unclear points related to the construction of the organ in the Komprachcice Catholic Church, which since then, after necessary repairs, has been used by the faithful to this day. The research also allowed to identify an earlier unknown designer of the church in Komprachcice and an employee who did not appear in the G.F.Steinmeyer archives.

Hans Fallada’s novel Kleiner Mann, großer Mann (1941) is in principle regarded as a trivial novel and it is for this reason that it has very seldom aroused interest among the literati. Yet, Fallada himself at one time called his texts written in the Nazi Germany a kind of entertaining or popular literature. However, with the careful analysis of Kleiner Mann, großer Mann one should state that the novel about the offcial Max Schreyvogel, at least with respect to the narration, does not come under the criterion of triviality. The somewhat trashy story (histoire albo narrative) is being told with the new objective (new objectivity), realistic means (discourse) which are in cotrast to the banality of the main topic.

For the New Objectivity art, both literature and paintings, urban reality played a significant role. The aesthetics of the New Objectivity, movement that bloomed in the 20s and 30s, was defined through urban issues. This tendency can be observed primarily in the so-called Zeitroman that became a topic of interest for German literary studies earlier. In contrast to the prose, the New Objectivity poetry was rarely an object of studies. In the article, selected urban verses are analysed and connected with the New Objectivity paintings on a modernist background.

The German linguistic literature after the year 1945 had to undergo a transformation and reparadigmatisation. The subject was the so-called Kahlschlagliteratur. Such authors as Heinrich Böll or Wolfgang Borchert preferred the short story form, which was the most suitable one for converting the fears of the Second World War. In Borchert’s three short stories: 1) Eisenbahnen, nachmittags und nachts, 2) Bleib doch, Giraffe, 3) Die Stadt, the dominant topic are the consequences of the Nazi era. Borchert uses in them the motive of the locomotive / train, which on the one hand can be read as the loneliness and post-war homelessness. On the other hand however, the locomotive can also stand for the homecoming and all coming back home people’s hope for the restoration of their pre-war life.

Along with the burning of books in 1933 at the latest a new era began for German writers. Some of the famous authors emigrated, others stayed in the Nazi Germany and kept on publishing within the confines of their opportunities. After the Second World War a dispute sparked off between the literary refugees and the so-called Inner Emigration on the value of books published under the dictatorship of Hitler. Thomas Mann accused the so-called Inner Emigration of passivity and submission to the regime. However, there existed possibilities of bypassing the National Socialist censorship by using camouflaging language. Such writers as Reinhold Schneider or Rudolf Pechel tried to criticize the rule of NSDAP between the lines, secretly and yet distinctly.
