Abstract
Short narratives as a highly represented group in the postwar Polish literature demands researches,
especially when the only work concerning the subject ‘Theoretical Problems of Small Literary
Forms’ by J. Trzynadlowski was written thirty years ago and therefore is selective and most of its
conclusions are simply out-of-date. In this article ‘short narrative’ is used as a descriptive category
used to embrace all the short literary pieces characterized by minimalisms of material (a concept
by J. Barth). In this text appear references to the tradition of genres which I mean as a hermeneutic
space following in this the postulates of architextuality, the theory created by G. Genette and
popularized in Poland by S. Balbus, R. Nycz, P. Michałowski. Miniatures of large narrative genres
– such as novel, diary, or epos – are unique among those. Icons and falsified indexes (which only
pretend to be fragments of bigger forms) constitute ways of large genres’ appearance in short
narratives. Functions of these references are not restricted to ludic ones, but raise problems of
metatextuality, the cultural origins and restrictions of genres and even carry some criticism of
social life and economic issues in socialistic countries. All this is proved by interpretations of
works by M. Białoszewski, B. Czałczyńska, M. Głowiński, S. Mrożek, T. Parnicki, A. Stern.
