Saidiya Hartman and Wayward Biographies: What Can Black Herstories Do for the Polish “People’s Turn”?This article presents on the method of “critical fabulation”, developed by American academic Saidiya Hartman with a view to reconstructing lost biographies of black women from the period of slavery and shortly thereafter. Hartman’s controversial method finds its ethical and epistemological justification, which the author of the article tries to reconstruct. The study also discusses the possibility of adapting the technique of critical fabulation for the purpose of telling women’s stories as part of the Polish “people’s turn”. Saidiya Hartman i krnąbrne biografie. Co czarne herstorie mogą zrobić dla polskiego „zwrotu ludowego”?Artykuł stanowi omówienie metody „krytycznej fabulacji”, którą rozwija w swojej twórczości amerykańska badaczka, Saidiya Hartman. Jej celem jest rekonstrukcja utraconych biografii czarnych kobiet z okresu niewolnictwa i krótko po nim. Kontrowersyjna metoda Hartman znajduje swoje uzasadnienie etyczne oraz epistemologiczne, które stara się zrekonstruować autor tekstu. W drugiej części artykułu podjęte zostają rozważania dotyczące możliwości zaadaptowania techniki krytycznej fabulacji do opowiadania historii kobiet w ramach polskiego „zwrotu ludowego”.
