The phenomenon of narration in the litany and the genre stereotype of litany
Abstract
The article describes the phenomenon of narration in the litany, where the specific events are
presented as units of the divine plan in the superior and impenetrable order, accepted by the
compiler of the prayer. The phrases describing the events do not link together in a consecutive
chain, but are interrupted by the repeated formulae of the prayer, on which they depend syntactically.
According to this, the text of the litany does not report the holy story from anyone’s point of
view. Each event undergoes the substantialization, it acquires a value, and its description can be
used as an epithet or a periphrasis of the name of God, Virgin Mary, the angel or the saint. The
story should be independent of the time, and the experience of the holy event is to be accessible
to the faithful. Sometimes the story needs not to be explicated, because the text of the litany is
already embedded in the ‘hermeneutic sphere’ (the term by S. Balbus) of the litanic genre. The
technique of the narration in litany has been taken over by the poetry. The example of Jarosław
Iwaszkiewicz’s epilogue to the poem Jeszcze jedna podróż (One more journey) published in
1963 is presented in the article.
