Dzicy, dzieci. O wątkach kolonialnych i figurze dzikiego w "Królu Maciusiu Pierwszym" i "Królu Maciusiu na wyspie bezludnej" Janusza Korczaka

Abstract

In this text I propose to look at two texts by Janusz Korczak, "King Matt the First" and "King Matt on the Desert Island". I treat the content of these two parts of Korczak’s dilogy as a starting point for thinking about the presence of colonial themes, phantasmagorical figures of the “wild”/“savage” and the decision to introduce these themes in a book addressed to children.
