W krainie Kota Doroty Terakowskiej jako przykład herstorii uśpionej

Dorota Terakowska’s In Cat`s Land [W krainie Kota] as an example of dormant herstory The article is devoted to the interpretation of Dorota Terakowska’s novel In Cat`s Land [W krainie Kota] (1998) from the perspective of feminisms and “herstories.” The author starts from the classic concepts of pluralism of feminisms, arachnology, and herstories in order to signal their presence in contemporary Polish youth prose. She undertakes theoretical reflection on Anna Burzyńska, Kazimiera Szczuka, Monika Świerkosz, Grażyna Borkowska, and Ewa Kraskowska, who develop the concept of arachnology by Nancy K. Miller and herstory by Adele Aldridge. In the text, Terakowska’s prose is a general reflection on the presence of herstory, with particular emphasis on the work In Cat`s Land as a phantasmatic herstory highlighting specific female experiences.
