Intersubiektywność a zagadnienia perspektywy narracyjnej

Abstract

The article shows a narralive perspective as an intersubjeciive figure and a basic element of every narrative. I would like to modily the concept of "narrative perspective” and connect it with our particular mental skill to represent the inner world of the others. Narrative reveals human ability to manipułate and to organize multipie points of view and this is a mental operation human beings are especially good at. Narrative perspective represents a human ability to recognize others as mental agenis like ourselves and to access their mental states. The article characierizes narrative perspeclive as a basic narrative strategy for coming to terms with another subjects experience. I try to identiiy the main historical models of narrative intersubjectivity across different narrative forms: projection, simulation, identification, separation. I also suggest that reader's involvement in fictional world is connected with perspective-taking and perspeclive-shifting management.
