Culture Context

Konteksty Kultury

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Poland

„Konteksty Kultury” to półrocznik naukowy Kolegium Nauczycielskiego w Bielsku – Białej. Od 2005r ukazało się siedem numerów. Idea powstania pisma zrodziła się już w 1999 roku, kiedy to rozpoczęła działalność bielska polonistyka w KN, jednak pomysł ten na realizację czekał kilka lat. Pierwotnie pismo zawierało publikacje wykładowców reprezentujących różne dyscypliny wiedzy, przede wszystkim zaś te, z którymi wiązały się studia prowadzone w KN. Łamy pisma - w zamierzeniu redakcji – miały być „miejscem wspólnym”, gdzie mogą spotkać się wykładowcy akademiccy, nauczyciele szkolni oraz studenci, by prezentować wielość ujęć i odmienne orientacje metodologiczne o wspólnym mianowniku.

Spirits in the material world. Aristotle's philosophy of mind, in particular his doctrine of nous poiêtikos

Spirits in the material world. Aristotle's philosophy of mind, in particular his doctrine of nous poiêtikos

Author(s): Sonia Kamińska-Tarkowska / Language(s): English

Keywords: Aristotle's philosophy

This book is inspired by the quest for the proper function of Aristotle’s active intellect presented in De Anima 3.5. The urge to grasp its essence has always driven philosophy ahead. Nevertheless, the true nature of nous poiêtikos remains far from being grasped. I will not unravel it here either, I am afraid. My aim is far more modest: to get through the existing interpretations and try to systematise them somehow. To speak in a more poetic, metaphorical way: my aim is to shed some light upon the subject. I wish to explore the light metaphor from De Anima 3.5 on many levels. To avoid getting lost in Aristotle and Aristotelian interpretations, I have divided the readings of nous poiêtikos into mystical and rational ones.

Encounters in Theatre and Liberature: B.S. Johnson and Zenkasi

Encounters in Theatre and Liberature: B.S. Johnson and Zenkasi

Author(s): Katarzyna Biela / Language(s): English

Keywords: liberature; genre; Zenon Fajfer; Katarzyna Bazarnik;

In his essay-manifesto of 1999, Zenon Fajfer defined liberature – a literary genre encompassing works whose authors intentionally design the shape of the book, so that it matches their textual message. Extending beyond the growing literary research on liberature, this book presents the theatrical contexts of the genre. Grounded in original archival research, it discusses the theatre practice of Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik (Zenkasi), as well as the post-war British avant-garde author, B.S. Johnson, whom they see as a liberatic author avant la lettre. Tracking the connections between their work in different media, the monograph considers how their theatrical experience may be related to the invention of unconventional aesthetic solutions in literature.

Of What Is Passing. Present-Tense Narration in the Contemporary Historical Novel

Of What Is Passing. Present-Tense Narration in the Contemporary Historical Novel

Author(s): Bożena Kucała / Language(s): English

Keywords: Contemporary Historical Novel

Of What Is Passing: Present-Tense Narration in the Contemporary Historical Novel explores a type of fiction that is illustrative of two current trends: on the one hand, the increasing popularity of the present tense as a narrative tense, and, on the other hand, the evolution of historical fiction at the turn of the twenty-first century.This book is a pioneering study of contemporary historical novels in which events and the narration of them appear contemporaneous. It is argued that, far from being a mere substitute for the customary past tense, the present tense as a narrative tense entails a range of narrative devices that contribute to the effect of imaginatively reconstructing the past as if it were still the unfolding present.The theoretical overview of time and tense in narrative is followed by detailed analyses of selected historical novels, illustrative of a variety of strategies consequent upon the choice of the present tense as the tense of narration. An underlying claim made throughout the book is that present-tense historical fiction typifies a new dimension of the genre which has recently attempted to navigate a way between traditional mimeticism and modern self-reflexivity.

Abundance and Fertility. Representations Associated with Child Protection in the Visual Culture of Ancient India

Abundance and Fertility. Representations Associated with Child Protection in the Visual Culture of Ancient India

Author(s): Agnieszka Sylwia Staszczyk / Language(s): English

Keywords: Abundance; Fertility; Child Protection; Ancient India

This work is a fascinating attempt to probe deep into the socio-cultural ramifications of the visual artefacts of ancient India, which has a rich heritage of iconographic treasures of varying sizes and styles. The art objects selected for analysis are mainly from the Mathura region of the Kushan era and belong to a period between 50–60 and 300 of the Common Era. This period is perceived as that of ‘multicultural environment’ enriched with different streams of tradition. According to the author they are directly related to the themes of abundance and fertility, its perceived cause. The author demonstrates how these distant fragments of visual imagery can yield rich insights of the world view of the communities which produced them. The work critically analyses the representation of ‘spiritual deities’ consisting of Ekanamsha, Hariti, Matrikas, Naigamesha, Shashthi and Skanda who were associated with the function of child protection. Understandably, they were the products of a belief in supernatural powers which could offer psychological protection to women cutting across different socio-economic classes at the times of great psychological stress like pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. The artefacts are carved in stone. Sometimes they are projected as isolated individuals and at other times as belonging to multi-character panels. Depending on their size, they had different functions: bigger objects could be fixed at some places and smaller ones carried from place to place. Excerpt from the review of Dr. C. Rajendran

Eastern drama of the absurd in the twilight of the Soviet Bloc

Eastern drama of the absurd in the twilight of the Soviet Bloc

Author(s): Krzysztof Pleśniarowicz / Language(s): English

Keywords: Soviet Bloc

Krzysztof Pleśniarowicz draws differences between Western and Eastern European absurdism, points out similarities and adjacencies, and emphasises the function fulfilled by the theatre of the absurd in Eastern Europe: the representation of the drama of a man deprived of freedom. The author of this important book shows absurdity in the dramas of the 1980s “at the end of the Soviet bloc” as the only possibility of dramatic-theatrical embodiment of realism, as a metaphor for reality. - PROFESSOR DOBROCHNA RATAJCZAKOWA
