Abstract

The article considers the situation in which everyday, documentary and autobiographical records, made by people who are not writers and have been treated so far as non-literary, are beginning to be included in the area of ​​literature and gain the status of literary works or pieces. This is the situation we are dealing with today, among others, in Poland, when it comes to records of Holocaust experiences. They are introduced into the realm of literature through the category of "personal document literature", introduced by Roman Zimand. The author of the article sees the justification for such an operation, thanks to which everyday, documentary and autobiographical records gain the meaning they deserve. At the same time, he indicates five basic operations characteristic of modern literature, which we do not find in these records: decontextualization (meaning instead of event), fictionalization (representation instead of experience), textualization (text instead of practice), rematerialization (book instead of notebook or notebook), remediation (print instead of manuscript).
