The aim of this article is to analyse examples of polish fantastic literature: Eden by Stanisław Lem, Gniazdo światów by Marek Huberath and Lód, Perfekcyjna niedoskonałość and Wroniec by Jacek Dukaj in the context of three terms created by Jacques Lacan: The Real, The Symbolic and The Imaginary. The main purpose of this paper is to show that borders between The Symbolic and two other registers are one of primary themes in this type of literature. This border can be indicated by various literary devices, pertaining to plots, settings, style etc. In aforementioned books - because of their genre affiliation - borders between The Symbolic and The Real/The Imaginary are suggested to the reader by presentation of such topics as: journey to new planets or new worlds, time travels, traumatic events; in these situations characters must recap theirs perceptions and well-known rules of the world. |
