This article explores literary representations of fluidity in the novel Maryam: Keeper of Stories (Maryam al-Hakāyā) by the Lebanese writer ʿAlawiyya Subh. It discusses the subtle ways in which the form and imagery as well as the thematic focus of the novel all contribute to establishing and further illuminating the fluid boundaries between telling, writing and becoming. It explores how the blurring of the lines between storytelling and writing, between the past and the present, between the author and the character, and, last but not least, between the creation of a work of literature and the construction of the subject, all play a vital role in creating the narrative flow that transcends rigidity of structure in favour of the fluidity of structuration. To this end the article also provides an extensive discussion on the role of water symbolism present in the novel, which further enhances the notion of fluidity that is sustained not only through the structuration and plotting but also through the imagery employed throughout the novel.

In this paper we look at the subject of reading from and writing on screens, connected to the theory of two literatures. While reviewing the contemporary internationally wide-spanning and well received works on the history of literature, questions arise: why is the discussion on electronic literature not strongly represented yet, and why is the issue of reading from the screen only mentioned cursorily? In our opinion, the answer is to be found in the fact that there are two literatures currently in existence. We set out to prove this theory. In order to specify the theory of two literatures, in this article we (1) briefly cover the two tsunamis of hypertext reception and (2) deal with the notion of hypertext. To follow, (3) we bring typical examples of hypertext literature, all in order to better approach the issue of (4) reading from and (5) writing on screens. Then we take a brief look (6) at the theory of the iconic turn, in order to show how it can be applied to describe new media literature. The theoretical section is closed with (7) the introduction of a new, reader/writer function and attitude. Finally, (8) we present findings of a study conducted on reading from a screen, comparing the results to a previous survey. The article ends with our conclusion (9).

This study examines the effect of parental education and children’s storybook exposure on children’s storytelling in middle childhood. The sample included 114 children, 6 to 9 years old and their parents. The assessment of children’s storybook exposure was obtained indirectly through the parents’ familiarity with storybooks using the Checklist of Titles and Authors of Children’s Books and the children’s familiarity with storybooks using the Picture Test of Knowledge of Children’s Books. The children’s storytelling was assessed using the Storytelling Test: Illustrations of the Frog King, which measured three criteria of children’s stories: the vocabulary, grammatical structure, and content structure of stories. It was determined that parental education and children’s familiarity with storybooks have a significant positive effect on children’s storytelling. Parental education and children’s storybook exposure explained 15% of the variability in content structure of the stories and 3% of the grammatical structure of the stories and vocabulary.

This article discusses the issues of narratology of memory in Stanislaw Vincenz's novel-cycle 'Na wysokiej poloninie', which, along with genology, rhetoric and other related issues, forms part of Vincenz's multi-aspect mnemology. The way the narrator is structured and the narrative structures appearing are viewed in terms of the memory category which fulfils certain determined functions therein. The several narrative subjects (the author/narrator and the characters acting as narrators) allows one to speak of a common universal category of narrator as a 'poviastun' (story-teller), i.e. a person with a certain memory at his or her disposal, performing acts of recollection/story-telling (or, recollection/poviastun-ing). The numerous memory narrations present in the Vincenz text imply multi-optional memory-based narrative strategies, being contemplated in the essay. In a mnemonological perspective, the poviastun becomes a narrative subject with his/her own 'mnemic experience'; story-telling/poviastun-ing becomes identified with narrative acts of recollecting, whereas the story (or, the 'tidings') assumes the form of a mnemic text being proper with prose of memory.

In the article the authoress compares the stories of male and female asylum seekers from one of the refugee centers in Warsaw. Her question is whether they have their own, different way of storytelling. She pays attention to the aspects of the experience of violence that were important to her interviewees and the relationship between the reality of modern war and the cultural stereotypes of gender roles. She divided the stories that she had collected into two parts: first one discusses the narrations of individuals who were victims of violence, while the other part presents stories of those who actively participated in certain forms of violence. Finally the article discusses the strategies of narrations about those experiences, especially the difference in the way men and women tell their stories.
