Slavic Markers in the Artistic Thinking of Kornel Makushynskyi: Cultural Codes, Folklore Images, National Identity

Abstract

The article is about a cult figure in the Polish national literature for children. Tsapok Matolek (Koziołek Matołek) serves the principal characteristics and forms of mental consciousness of several generations of Poles. Thus, the paradigm of multicultural education is considered as the basis for national education; the phenomenon of cooperation between writer and artist in the fabric of children's work is conceptualized.
