معرفی
Karolina Chyła is a doctoral researcher and academic staff member at the Institute of Polish Philology, Faculty of Philology, University of Wrocław. She holds a degree in Polish Studies with a specialization in Applied Rhetoric and is currently completing her dissertation on Stefan Żeromski as a mythographer of modernity.
Her research interests span literature and culture of the second half of the 19th century in its highbrow, folk, and popular forms, with a particular focus on cultural representations of women, personal document literature, and folklore—especially song and fairy tales. Her interdisciplinary approach draws from literary anthropology, various schools of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and feminist theory.
The thematic trends in her publications reflect a deep engagement with identity, myth, gender, and existential questions in Polish literature. Her works often explore dualities, marginality, and symbolic representations of social and psychological states, particularly in 19th and early 20th-century contexts.
She has published in notable journals such as Nowe Książki, Tomaty i Konteksty, and Gardens of Sciences and Arts, contributing critical analyses on topics ranging from mythological interpretations in literature to anthropological readings of female coming-of-age narratives.
Karolina Chyła is actively involved in the academic community at the University of Wrocław, contributing to the vibrant research environment of the Institute of Polish Philology, which includes specialized workshops and laboratories focusing on text genetics, literary culture, folklore, and cognitive research on language.
