Abstract

The article, being part of the debate on cognitive assumptions of the nonfiction literature is a polemic with the theses of Paweł Zajas’s work "Jak świat prawdziwy stał się bajką: O literaturze niefikcjonalnej" [How the real world has become a fable. On nonfiction literature], questioning, in reference to Lejeune’s referential pact, the epistemological dimension of a part of modern reportage literature.

Keywords:

nonfiction literature, reportage, referential pact, epistemology
