Writing for the stage - Narratives of contemporary Theater

Pisanie dla sceny – narracje współczesnego teatru

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: theatre; stage; author’s texts; screenplays; music;choreography;

In contemporary research on theatre there is a palpable and established conviction about the dynamic, tense-filled relationship between text and the stage, which virtually needs no extensive scholarly justification. However, the multifarious character of actions undertaken in the theatrical realm, especially including the trasformations of how the (spoken) word is used in plays, encourage us to once more ask questions regarding the manner in which various materials are correlated in the performing arts of recent, but also regarding theatre as communication medium which is determined by both event-based and heterogeneous character.

Representation of Geoinformation Science in Selected Information Retrieval Languages

Reprezentacja nauki o geoinformacji w wybranych językach informacyjno-wyszukiwawczych

Author(s): Małgorzata Gajos-Gržetić / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: geoinformation; information and search languages; method of collecting vocabulary

Geoinformation science deals with problems related to acquisition, collection, storage, analysis, interpretation, processing, dissemination, transmission, practical application, and use of geoinformation, i.e. the information obtained by means of interpreting spatial data on spatial objects connected with the Earth’s surface.The aim of the dissertation is to propose an update on vocabulary representing the science of geoinformation in selected information retrieval languages applying an original authorial method for updating dictionaries. This method, embedded in the theoretical framework of the science of geoinformation, has been developed to update vocabulary used in different disciplines and areas of expertise because the dynamic development of science, which has been observed for many years now, contributes to coining many new terms which – after being accepted by the user community who employ them – begin to appear in scientific and professional publications. To improve the quality of descriptions in the aforementioned publications in catalogues and bibliographic databases, it is necessary to introduce an effective method for updating the vocabulary used in information retrieval languages and applied to indexing.An analysis of dictionaries of selected information retrieval languages has been carried out to determine whether the existing representation of the area of knowledge in question (the science of geoinformation) is sufficient in relation to the body of knowledge. The research covered selected languages of three types: languages of subject headings – KABA, the language of subject headings; languages of descriptor headings – the GEMET thesaurus; and languages of keywords – the language of SYNABA system.In the dissertation, the proposal of updating dictionaries of information retrieval language in the field of geoinformation has been implemented in three stages: an analysis of the terminology found in the subject literature from the area of knowledge in question in terms of the following: the names of data categories, names of information categories, names of information system categories, and names of the field of knowledge; an analysis of a document presenting both the scope of knowledge within the studied area of knowledge and periodicals published within the area of knowledge, according to the method for updating dictionaries proposed by the author, which constitutes the authorial original method of collecting vocabulary in order to update dictionaries of information retrieval languages; an analysis of interdisciplinary connections in the area of knowledge.

The Secret Sharers: the Reader, the Spectator and the Translator. Short Stories of Joseph Conrad in New Interpretations

Tajemni wspólnicy: czytelnik, widz i tłumacz. Opowiadania Josepha Conrada w nowych interpretacjach

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Conrad; Joseph; short story; interpretation; adaptations of literature;literary translation;

The book is a collection of articles devoted to short stories by Joseph Conrad. The texts have been written by both Polish and foreign researchers of the writer’s fiction as well as English literary scholars. They propose reinterpretations of short prose works which, for most part, have not met an in-depth consideration in Conrad studies. The publication intends to demarginalize short forms and turn attention to their formal and thematic depth.Apart from literary analyses, the book also contains articles devoted to issues connected with film adaptations, translations and translation studies – these are, naturally, discussed on the basis of Conrad’s novels.The book is addressed to a wide scope of readers, including professional literary scholars and literature lovers. It will be particularly valuable to readers who just begin more serious studies on Conrad as writer whose skill found the short story to be a malleable form of artistic expression.The book includes indexes of names, fictional characters and literary works.

Partnership in communication

Partnerstwo w komunikacji

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Składamy na Państwa ręce niniejszą książkę poświęconą rozmaitym zdarzeniom komunikacyjnym zachodzącym w różnych przestrzeniach, z udziałem tradycyjnych i nowych środków wyrazu. Za sprawą zebranych tekstów pragniemy ukazać mechanizmy rządzące uczestnikami poszczególnych aktów komunikacyjnych, uwypuklając istotny dla tego zbioru pierwiastek współuczestniczenia. Zebrane przez nas głosy badaczy w dyskusji na temat kondycji JA i TY mogą stać się inspiracją do podejmowania dalszych działań zmierzających do tego, by partnerstwo nie pozostawało jedynie w przestrzeni idealizacji, ale miało realną szansę na zaistnienie we współczesnym świecie. (fragment Wstępu)We bring to you the book which is devoted to various communicative events that transpire across different spaces, involving both traditional and new means of expression. By the texts collected in our publication we wish to reveal mechanisms driving each and every participant of singular speech acts, while underscoring what seems relevant to each member of this set of participants, namely – co-participation. The voices of researchers presented herein refer mostly to the condition of MYSELF and YOURSELF and may prove to be stimulating for further activities that would aim at partnership becoming not merely a notion in ideal space, but rather have a real chance to be actualized in the world of today.

Désiré Mercier (1851—1926). On Kantianism and the Apology of Faith

Désiré Mercier (1851—1926). On Kantianism and the Apology of Faith

Désiré Mercier (1851—1926). Wokół kantyzmu i apologii wiary

Author(s): Aleksander R. Bańka / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Désiré Mercier

The figure of Désiré Mercier (1851—1926) — Belgian philosopher, theologian, cardinal and later the Primate of Belgium, the founding father of the neo-scholastical Leuven School and a great restorer of Thomism — has long inscribed itself into the history of contemporary philosophy. He is remembered in particular among those representatives of classical philosophy who saw in the rebirth of scholasticism, which occurred at the turn of the 20th century, a chance to establish modern, realistically-oriented philosophy that could withstand the challenges of contemporary idealism in its varied versions — particularly those connected with broadly-understood legacy of Kant’s philosophy. What, then, are the philosophical foundations of Mercier’s polemic with Kant? What alternative does Mercier propose for the subjective, in his view, concept of synthetic a priori judgments?The present monograph constitutes an attempt at answering these questions, among others. The first chapter contains a synthetic reconstruction of the main theses of Mercier’s criteriology, while the second chapter discusses the fundamental lines of Mercier’s disagreement with Kant’s ideas. Chapter three comprises a polemic analysis of the issue of the apologetic engagement of neo-scholasticism, with particular attention being paid to the stance espoused by Mercier as well as the Polish alumni of the Higher Institute of Philosophy in Leuven. As such, the present work constitutes a complementary look at the issues discussed in Désiré Mercier’s General Theory of Certitude, published by the University of Silesia Press in 2008. The monograph is addressed to those who, on the one hand would like to familiarize themselves with a synthetic and systematized approach to Mercier’s theory of certitude as well as the main axis of his disagreement with Kantianism, and on the other hand — receive an in-depth study of the apology of faith in neo-scholasticism.

Family members as victims of serious human rights violations. A study in international human rights law and international criminal law

Członkowie rodziny jako ofiary poważnych naruszeń praw człowieka. Studium z zakresu prawa międzynarodowego praw człowieka oraz międzynarodowego prawa karnego

Author(s): Małgorzata Myl / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: family; victim; serious violations of human rights; international crime

Nowadays, the international community is facing many serious challenges such as human rights violations and an increasing number of armed conflicts. The number of victims of these violations is enormous and is still growing. The scale of these problems forces us to reflect on the role of international law and the tasks of the international community. One of the biggest challenges for international law is, on the one hand, prevention of international crimes and serious violations of international human rights law, and, on the other hand, protection of victims of these violations. The international community should endeavor to minimize damage and trauma caused by breaking international law and to provide justice for the victims. The main research problem is to reconstruct the standard of protection for family members of victims of serious violations of human rights under international human rights law and international criminal law.

Generalist and Thematic Channels in Polish Television from the Perspective of Genre Studies in Linguistics

Stacje ogólne i tematyczne polskiej telewizji z perspektywy genologii lingwistycznej

Author(s): Aleksandra Kalisz / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: television; thematic television; television genre; linguistic genology

The author of this book investigates a variety of genres found in three selected generalisttelevision channels – TVP, Polsat, and TVN – and their thematic sister channels. These reflectionsmade it possible to identify diverse genres used in contemporary television, the differences betweenthe set of canonical models representing the television of the 21st century and that of late 80s,the influence of thematic channels on the current state of affairs, and – finally – the differencesbetween the programmes offered by them and the primary (generalist) channels. Such an in-depthanalysis of television in Poland and its contents made it also possible to determine the scale of“demassing” the discussed medium and, at the same time, to define the role played by thematicchannels in the context of generalist ones. The scrutiny of particular television schedules led toa more comprehensive perspective on broadcast programming of these channels. This strategyallowed for comparing the contents of each channel on both macro and micro levels. The nextstep was to establish the cannon of genres used by contemporary Polish channels, taking intoconsideration those peculiar cases which cannot be assigned to any category. Thus, the mentionedforms were thoroughly examined in order to determine their genre-related provenance. The developedmodels helped depict a stable set of genres used by contemporary television, taking intoaccount certain modifications within one pattern. What was also tackled was the influence of newmedia on the contemporary Polish television, an issue especially important from the perspectiveof technological revolution.

Temperamentalne i osobowościowe podłoże codziennego heroizmu

Temperamentalne i osobowościowe podłoże codziennego heroizmu

Author(s): Karina Atłas / Language(s): Polish

The work discusses the issue of heroism and its relations with personality, temperament, motivation behind heroic and risky behaviors, and attitude to heroism. The phenomenon of heroism lies in its characteristics: in heroism, a socially desirable behavior involves extremity, risk-taking and risking one’s resources (health, life, money or reputation). Empirical study of heroism is a new area in psychology, probably because this phenomenon is not easy to describe and operationalize. The study described in the dissertation involved the analysis of its correlations with HEXACO model dimensions as well as subclinical psychopathy, subclinical narcissism, and temperament. The hypotheses were verified in two study groups: a general population group (236 persons) and a group of people doing dangerous jobs (246 persons). It was possible to identify heroic prototypes connected with different levels of heroism and involving different traits: fearless heroes, narcissist and sensitive (open-minded) heroes, impulsive (moderately heroic) individuals, and non-heroic ones. People working as fire fighters, police officers, rescuers or soldiers have a higher level of subclinical psychopathy and narcissism, and display a higher level of heroism. As expected, heroism proved to be correlated with the dark side of personality. Probably heroism is an essentially pro-social behavior, but its determinants are complex and not related to a high level of honesty, authenticity or personality reflection of moral components. The study suggests that audacity, fearless temperament and narcissist self-sufficiency (understood as the belief in one’s own efficacy, strength and ability to succeed) may be especially important in heroism. The study showed that even dark sides of personality may be socially beneficial. The results may be used in different areas of psychological practice, such as professional training, recruitment and selection, psychological education and training, educational programmes, or the treatment of people with personality disorders.

Causative Power of a Stroll, or a Polish Writer in an Italian City

Sprawcza moc przechadzki, czyli polski literat we włoskim mieście

Author(s): Aleksandra Achtelik / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Polish literature; Naples

The work entitled: Causative Power of a Stroll, or a Polish Writer in anItalian City, consists of two parts: first – The Neapolitan Texture – is devotedto the depiction of Naples in Polish literature, second – Cities and Signs –is an attempt to reconstruct the literary pictures of certain selected Italianareas. Hence, the particular parts of the study describe respectively: theimage of Rome considered in the context of “a ruin-city”, Venice emergingfrom the texts collected in a monographic issue of “Literary Notebooks”[„Zeszyty Literackie”], and Sicily as a space regarded through the prismof an insular area, to a certain extent independent territorially. The largestpart of the book has been devoted to the Neapolitan space, since in Polishaccounts from journeys not many works present the motif of Naples in themost comprehensive way.Two factors determined the selection of material to the present publication:the actual stay of the author within the described space and the intenton creating a text the primary function of which would be performing therole of a specific type of baedeker. Moreover, the author has designatedcertain time frames in which the literary texts subjected to interpretation hadbeen written. It allowed her to reconstruct diachronically the cultural spacesof the selected Italian cities, consolidated in the Polish literary tradition. Theuse of literary texts as the source material, in turn, enabled her to combineinterpretative tools from the fields of anthropology and literature, witha special consideration of the achievements of literary anthropology.The author of the work refers to the selected texts of Polish writers whodecided to depart for a journey to Italy, though their presence in the describedspaces was always transient, usually resulting in the hasty penetrationof the Italian urban areas. Hence, the arbitrary selection of places that thewriters visited, the ciliary character of their description, and the selectivenessof spaces considered significant enough to be inscribed into the culturalreservoir of memories is presented in their writings. All the accounts areinterrelated not only in terms of the common observed and traversed area,but also with regard to the specific individual character of these observations.The examinations performed from the position of a pilgrim-traveller anda passer-by respectively, are a subject to the present analysis. The categories ofa stroll and a passer-by are especially important for the interpretative functionthe work is expected to perform. The author distinguishes between differentconditions of a tourist, a pilgrim, a traveller, a stroller and a passer-by. She alsoadvances a thesis that Polish writers depart for Italy as travellers, however,within the visited urban area, they repeatedly adopt the role of a passer-by,exposing themselves to the cognitive strategy characteristic of this figure. Theysuccumb to the power of a slow, spontaneous movement from one point toanother, which does not proceed according to any particular plan. Duringthe time of a stroll one becomes exposed to the stimuli which cannot beoverestimated, as they make this particular relation individual, introduce newelements to the texture of the city description and, simultaneously, allow theauthor to reconstruct the cultural patterns operating in the described space.A passer-by learns the particular fragments of the city, this way creatinga certain mosaic. A reader, in turn, gets to know the urban space following therhythm of steps, and the successive depictions of the city. This picture is discontinuous– it includes only these places which the visitor from Poland hasdiscerned and discriminated. Hence, regarding the records of many writerstravellers-passers-by as one text of a particular city, seems legitimized. Owingto this process, the reconstruction of “a full picture” of the interpreted area becomespossible. It also makes recreation of the urban structure in Polish travelnarratives easier: for Naples, this would be a category of anxiety, for Rome– ruins, for Venice and for Sicilian cities – the spectrum of death. Moreover,penetrating the city, passers-by physically “face” the unknown area, they getculturally closer to The Other, describing their individual experiences, whichfor the researcher become an interpretative framework. Of course, one needsto bear in mind that their view is always culturally conditioned. Passers-by inevitablymake a selection of important aspects and cannot liberate themselvesfrom the scheme of observation imposed on them by the cultural tradition.It is interesting that through their work, they introduce new elements into thetexture of Italian travel discourse, which is significant for the reconstruction ofcultural space, and allows the author to describe the specific cultural profileswhich have been distinguished in the particular parts of the present study.A stroll enables one to enter the relation of walking-looking-writing, makingit possible to reconstruct this cognitive sequence.The author emphasizes that Polish writers designate their trail to Italyusing the experience of their precursors, to some extent trying to copy theitineraries they know from other visitors’ descriptions and thus, becominga part of the cultural community. However, once already in Italy, they oftenturn into passers-by, simultaneously creating new maps of walking tours,swerving from the beaten track, losing their way, and thus becoming theauthors of a new interpretative value. Their look is directed primarily towardscultural otherness. With their stroll they map the penetrated spacesof Italian agglomerations. The stroll has a causative power of cognition andpotency of an interpretative perspective.

English lexical and semantic loans in informal spoken Polish

English lexical and semantic loans in informal spoken Polish

Author(s): Marcin Zabawa / Language(s): English

Keywords: English lexical loans; English semantic loans

It is a well-known fact that nowadays English exerts a strong influence onmany European languages, including Polish. Naturally, the changes inthe Polish language are most readily visible in the area of vocabulary, asa number of words of English origin have entered Polish in recent years. Whatis more, new meanings are frequently assigned to already existing native Polishwords or older borrowings. Furthermore, other spheres, such as syntax,morphology or even phonology are not free from the influence of English,either.In general, the lexical influence of English upon written Polish, particularlythe language of the press, has been researched relatively thoroughly; however,the influence on spoken informal Polish, both lexical and semantic, hasattracted much less attention of linguists, as gathering a sufficient amount ofspontaneous spoken language is inherently a very difficult and time-consumingprocess. This tendency still continues, as much attention is devoted to newvocabulary items appearing in written Polish, especially the one used inthe mass media. Much less has been written, however, about the newestsemantic borrowings. The aim of the present book is therefore to investigatethe lexical and semantic influence of English upon Polish on the basis ofthe corpus, consisting of informal conversations, recorded, transcribed andanalysed by the present author. The main focus of the book is on semanticborrowings.The only previous work of this type known to the present author is the onewritten by OTWINOWSKA-KASZTELANIC (2000). The present research, however,differs from hers in many respects. Most importantly, the present study doesnot concentrate on syntax, but instead devotes much more attention toindividual loans at the level of words; the majority of them are presented inthe context and their meaning and use is discussed in detail. In other words,the loans, especially semantic ones, are discussed not only globally, butindividually as well; statistical analyses have also been performed. Moreover,the author has also aimed at investigating the mechanisms of the emergence ofsemantic loans in Polish. In addition, the present work concentrates not only onthe general informal variety of Polish, but on the Silesian dialect as well.The book consists of seven chapters and five appendices. The first fourchapters have theoretical and introductory character, whereas the next two (fifthand sixth) form the essential part of the book.Chapter 1 concentrates on some theoretical points concerning the notion ofspoken language: the theories of the primacy of speech over writing and viceversa and the differences between the two modes. The final section ofthe chapter is devoted to the research done in the field of spoken Polish.Chapter 2 focuses on theoretical aspects of the process of borrowing.The chapter aims at defining the notion of ‘borrowing’, as it is perceiveddifferently by various linguists. Moreover, the chapter includes the descriptionof the two types of loans (lexical and semantic) as well as the discussionconcerning the conditions and motives for borrowing.Chapter 3 concentrates on the contact between English and Polish.The main part of the chapter focuses on the linguistic outcome of the contact inquestion. In other words, concrete examples of lexical and semanticborrowings, including less known ones, are given and briefly discussed.Moreover, various other tendencies, i.e. not typical borrowings, which haveprobably been taken over from English, are mentioned. The final section isdevoted to the research done in the field of English influence upon Polish.The aim of the section is not only to present a list of the literature onthe subject, but also to highlight the areas which still require furtherinvestigation.The aim of Chapter 4 is to describe the corpus of informal spoken Polishupon which the study is based. The first part gives some general, introductoryinformation on corpus studies and then focuses on various problems connectedwith spoken language corpora, for example the process of designing sucha corpus and gathering of the material. The difficulty and protracted nature ofthe process is stressed. What is more, many other specific problems arise whenthe aim of the research is to count and analyse borrowings used in sucha corpus, the most important of which are also described in the section.The further part of the chapter is devoted to the description of the corpus usedin the study. Various aspects, such as the individual recordings (particularlythe setting and the topics), the informants (including their age, sex, education,occupation and knowledge of English) and the conventions used inthe transcription are discussed, among other things. Moreover, as some ofthe informants used — to a lesser or greater extent — the Silesian dialect,some information on its most important features is given.Chapter 5 concentrates on the lexical loans found in the corpus. The firstsection focuses on the methodological problems connected with such spheres asdifferentiating between English borrowings and borrowings of other origin ordistinguishing between borrowings and instances of single-word codeswitching. The main part of the chapter concentrates on the description ofthe loanwords found in the corpus. The final section is devoted to statisticalanalysis of the loanwords.Chapter 6, the longest and most important, focuses on the semanticborrowings found in the corpus. The first part of the chapter is concerned withthe general description of the semantic loans in question as well as with a briefdescription of the methodological problems. The further part of the chapteraims at explaining the process of introducing semantic loans into spoken Polishby using ARABSKI’S theory of primary counterparts. The main part ofthe chapter focuses on detailed description of the semantic loans found inthe corpus. The final section is devoted to statistical analysis of these semanticborrowings.Chapter 7 focuses on the conclusions of the study.

The art of a feature by Stefan Kisielewski

Sztuka felietonu Stefana Kisielewskiego

Author(s): Monika Wiszniowska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Stefan Kisielewski

Stefan Kisielewski is an extremely vivid persona. Despite the fact that hewas a composer, a serious feature and novel writer, Kisielewski is best known asthe author of features published for about fifty years in “Tygodnik powszechny”.It is no overstatement to say that Kisielewski was a master as regards a “shortform”. The publication (The art of a feature by Stefan Kisielewski) is both fora professional reader and the one whom the name of the author of Lata pozłacane,lata szare tells only little nowadays. The author wants to present a famous Kisielabove all as a master of a feature form and an author who analyses and describesreality and a human being in an extremely accurate way, who has becomea teacher and master for many people reading his features thanks to the abilityto notice all the absurdity of the Polish People’s Republic, and above all, thanksto the values loudly voiced and stability of opinions.
