• Description:
  The article explores the evolution of the concept Homo narrans as a framework for understanding human nature from an anthropological and cultural studies perspective. Beginning with a critical examination of classical figures such as Homo sapiens, Homo faber, and Homo ludens, the author contrasts them with the notion of the human as a storytelling being. Płuciennik reconstructs the genealogy of the term Homo narrans (Ranke, Fisher) and compares it with other contemporary narrative figures such as homo fictus, homo narrator, and the “tender narrator.” The article emphasizes the moral dimension of narrative (Fisher), its epistemic power, and its role in shaping human identity. The reflections are embedded in the context of posthumanism and the narrative turn in the humanities.
