Tempo życia – tempo biografii. Wstęp do badań nad problematyką czasu w biografiach Brunona Schulza

A biographer has a great ability to operate with time. He/she lengthens or shortens parts of his/her story, which makes meanings and gives a hierarchy to events. A biographer’s actions have consequences because the time of the biography relates to the time of a character’s life: the clock time and time as it is experienced. One period that is traditionally abridged in a character’s life is childhood. By abridging it, a biographer may renege on a moral pact. The case of Bruno Schulz’s abridged childhood is of particular importance because of his work and declarations.
