The article attempts to demonstrate that throughout her fictional world this non-binary principle integrates the whole and the fragment, identity politics and the politics of becoming, life and death, the personal and the impersonal, words and actions. The roots of the approach must be sought in the posthuman(ist) imagination, the influence of which in Tokarczuk's writing can be traced back to the 1990s, rather than her indebtedness to the aesthetic theories of postmodernism.}, type={Artykuł}, title={A poetics of fungal threads: The posthuman imagination of Olga Tokarczuk}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125626/PDF-MASTER/2022-03-RL-01.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2022.140973}, keywords={Polish contemporary literature, posthumanism, narrative imagination, non-binary mycelium, rhizomal structure, Olga Tokarczuk (b. 1962)}, }
