From Maladic Narratives to Community. A Meeting with Dr. Iwona Boruszkowska and Maria Świątkowska, MA.

What attitudes do contemporary literary studies take toward maladic narratives? What is the communal and emancipatory aspect of these narratives? How can we view the theory of the "wounded narrator" from today's perspective, 30 years after the publication of Arthur Frank's The Wounded Storyteller (1995)? These and other important questions are answered by the editors of an issue of "Ruch Literacki," titled "Maladic Discourse – Illness as Narrative: Theories and Interpretations" (No. 4/2023). The issue of "Ruch Literacki," which prompted this conversation, is available on the journal's website at: https://journals.pan.pl/rl/150189#tabs.
