This text presents some autobiographical writings of foreigners, which concern Poland of 18th and 19th century with the exception of those treated in J. Gintel’s anthology. This is no problem of systematic information concerning Poland’s reality in these centuries which are to be found in commentaries and treaties. We are discussing foreign diaries, memoires and autobiographies of the following authors: G.G. Casanova, Ch.J. de Ligne, J. Michelet, V. Hugo, R. de Chateaubriand, G. Sand, E. and J. de Goncourts. These autobiographical enunciations are treated here as the credible source of information. These personal texts are destined for Polish readers, who feel specific pleasure finding some mentions concerning Poland. The readers encounter Poles as historical persons, artists, writers in the background of historical events, in travel, social and everyday life.

This study focuses on the issues surrounding texts that refer to an author’s life while deliberately including fictionality within the autobiographical testimony, i.e. via autofiction and fictional meta-autobiography. The fictional elements in this kind of writing often serve as a tool for self-reflection. Using specific narrative techniques, for example, these works comment on the issue of autobiographical memory, the epistemological (in)accessibility of the past, and the narrative construction of identity. This study endeavours to link the reflections of contemporary narratologists on fictional and non-fictional narration with an analysis of autofictional and meta-autobiographical works. The first section deals briefly with the issue of fictionality, presenting the rhetorical theory (of H. S. Nielsen, J. Phelan and R. Walsh), which enables us to perceive fictionality outside fiction as a component of factual communication about the real world. The following section focuses on the meta-autobiographical text Montauk by the Swiss author Max Frisch: it illustrates the method of including fictionality in an autobiographical text as a way to reflect on remembering, and on the possibilities of depicting one’s own life and creating one’s own I by writing. This analysis is linked to a brief excursus into narrative construction in autobiographical narration, primarily in connection with personal identity. The next section of the article briefly summarizes the differencs between classial autobiographies and contemporary self-reflectively inclined autobiographies and autofictions. It presents the category of fictional meta-autobiographies, which it includes in the broader framework of autofictional texts, and presents an (incomplete) summary of the many definitions and forms of autofiction. This is followed by an analysis of the second example of fictional metaautobiography, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by American author Dave Eggers, which ironically deconstructs the convention of autobiographical writing. The conclusion of the study points out the differences in the way fictionality is included in the works presented, forming the basis for a division of fictional meta-autobiographies in accordance with the kind of reading instructions which they present to readers: Montauk represents works that help the reader to switch between a fictional and an autobiographical interpretation method by indicating which parts or aspects are invented and which stay true to real events; on the other hand, texts like A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius provide relatively few indications to help readers distinguish fictional elements and identify authentically autobiographical moments.

This study presents a theoretical definition and delimitation of the autobiography genre, which traditionally lies on the borderline between fiction and non-fiction. the work of Philippe Lejeune and his concept of the „autobiographical pact“, which id analysed aďn detail is taken as the starting point. the individual criteria for autobiographies as defined by Lejeune are progressively examined and the permeability of the boundaries between autobiography and other generes is shown, based on examples from Czech and world literature. The opportunities to experiment with genre conventions and the consequences that ensue for literary theory are presented onm the basis of Gertrude Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.

Studie se věnuje teoretickému vymezení a definici žánru autobiografie, který tradičně stojí na pomezí mezi fikční a faktuální literaturou. Za výchozí si bere práci Philippa Lejeuna a jeho koncept tzv. autobiografického paktu, který blíže rozebírá. Postupně analyzuje jednotlivá kritéria, kterými Lejeue autobiografii vymezuje, a na příkladech z české i světové literatury ukazuje propustnost hranic mezi autobiografií a dalšími žánry. Na textu Gertrude Steinové Vlastní životopis Alice B. Toklasové jsou v závěru prezentovány možnosti experimentování s žánrovými konvencemi a důsledky, které z toho plynou pro literární teorii.

The shipwreck accounts were written mainly by survivors of catastrophic shipwrecks on overseas voyages to America and India, and therefore belong to the huge corpus of works written in the 16th century about exploring and conquering new territories. Unlike the most of the written sources of the period, these accounts do not celebrate the overseas enterprise, they bring a new, tragic perspective and describe the dangers and misery of overseas voyages. The shipwreck accounts are often seen as a specific genre and can be studied from the perspective of travel narrative as well as from the perspective of autobiographical writing. There are many common motifs and elements in these accounts such as the physical transformation of the castaway, the interpretation of the shipwreck as a punishment, and the motive of time.

В своих публикациях Эрик Баратай требует, чтобы история людей дополнялась историей животных, он переходит на их сторону и пытается освободить историю от ее единственной антропоцентрической перспективы. Животные не способны говорить на человеческом языке и документировать свой опыт, чтобы создать великую историю животных. Вместо этого у них есть друзья-люди. Поэтому косвенным средством достижения поставленной Баратаем цели могут быть рассказы о животных, их биографии, включенные в личные записи людей. В статье представлены истории о свиньях, записанные в воспоминаниях Антонины Жабиньской, Дороты Суминьской и Сай Монтгомери, которые внесли свой вклад в историю животных.

In his writings, Éric Baratay advances that the chronicles of people should be supplemented with animal histories as he stands by the side of non-human animals and supports attempts to free history from its solely anthropocentric perspective. Animals are not capable of speaking any human language, they cannot record their experiences in writing / words, which makes them unable to create the great animal history. However, they have human friends. Therefore, the indirect approach, meeting to the goal intended by Baratay halfway, may rely on the stories about animals, their biographies written in the personal notes. The article presents the stories of pigs recorded in the autobiographies and memoirs of Antonina Żabińska, Dorota Sumińska, and Sy Montgomery, which are contributions to the history of animals.

Eric Baratay w swoich publikacjach upomina się o uzupełnienie dziejów ludzi historią zwierząt, przechodzi na ich stronę i próbuje uwolnić historię od jej wyłącznie antropocentrycznego widzenia. Zwierzęta nie posługują się ludzkim językiem, nie potrafią zapisać swoich doświadczeń, by tworzyć wielką historię zwierząt. Mają za to ludzkich przyjaciół. Zabiegiem pośrednim umożliwiającym osiągnięcie wytyczonego przez Barataya celu mogą być opowieści o zwierzętach, ich zapisane biografie w osobistych notatkach ludzi. W artykule zapisane we wspomnieniach Antoniny Żabińskiej, Doroty Sumińskiej i Sy Montgomery historie świnek, tworzące przyczynek do historii zwierząt.

This study analyses the key poetological and typological aspects of Ján Kollár´s autobiography Pamäti z mladších rokov života. The first part analyses the external impulses behind the creation of the text and hence the period genre discourse structure in order to point out its specific (initiation) status. Works that may have acted as an inspiration for Kollár as he drafted his text are also the subject of analysis and comparison. The second part of the study focuses on a detailed analysis of individual epic levels of Pamäti, with a foregrounded Slavonic ethnicity creation process and its key constitutive factors and symbols. The second prominent aspect is the reflection of the aesthetic category in the text of the autobiography in association with its formal (syntactic and stylistic) and content-based components. The study centres around an analysis of the category of the characters, one of the most important elements in the autobiography (taking into account the psychological elaborateness and the episodic nature of the individual characters). This chapter is also partially focused on the self-identification of the autobiographical subject and the problem of forming relations with those around (social communication). The final part of the study comprises a compositional and genological characterization of the work.

In the novel Seventh Autobiography, writer Ota Filip established a wide range of strategies for using quotes from archival documents from the State Security Archive. The writer attempted to respond to public accusations of his collaboration with agents of Czechoslovak military intelligence in the 1950s when he betrayed his colleagues who were planning to escape to West Germany. In the late nineties this scandal led to the writer’s son’s suicide and forced Filip to write his autobiographical novel to deal with the burden of guilt. By using this quotation strategy the writer was able to reassess past events from the perspective of his current position to follow his personal and artistic development and redefine his identity following this chain of traumatic experiences. Quotation also allows us to follow the gradual interlinking of individual autobiographical motifs in wider structures and to observe the relations functioning between them, which enable the autobiographical space of the writer’s literary work to be established. An important and simultaneous process in this context is the development of literary communication between the writer and the recipient of his novel. For the first one, this is an opportunity to share his personal experience and observe how it influences the process of dealing with the problematic past. The main goal of the article is to present the essential strategies for quoting from archival documents in the text of Seventh Autobiography. The author of the study particularly emphasizes the influence of quotation in the field of relations between the actual author of the literary text and the agents holding his security files in the past and the way the disproportion in accessibility of source material on the part of the recipient of the novel influences the process of literary communication. The final result of conducting analytical activities in these fields creates a broader picture of the writer’s methods for dealing with his experiences.
