The „Naked Soul” of Dionysus. Nietzsche Reception by Stanislaw Przybyszewski

Die „nackte Seele“ des Dionysos. Zur Nietzsche-Rezeption bei Stanisław Przybyszewski

Author(s): Dariusz Salamon / Language(s): German / Issue: 4/2013

Keywords: Przybyszewski; Nietzsche; reception; ‘the overman’; ‘the Dionysian’; ‘the naked soul’; re-reading

The author of the article attempts at re-reading the work of Stanisław Przybyszewki from the perspective of the analogy, and partially thecause-and-effect-relationship, between Nietzsche’s concept of ‘the Dionysian’ and Przybyszewski’s theory of ‘the naked soul’. The author of the paper proposes that the basic element of the reception of German philosopher’s thought in the works of the genius Pole is ‘the Dionysus’ from Nietzsche’s early writings understood as a universal cosmic force connected with sexual desire, and not a voluntary concept of ‘the overman’.

The Gospel of Cartarescu. The "Orbitor" (Glaring) Trilogy at its final stage

"Evanghelia" după Cărtărescu. Trilogia Orbitor la final

Author(s): Vitalie Ciobanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 163/2008

“Apariţia volumului Orbitor. Aripa dreaptă (Humanitas, 2007) încununează marea încercare a lui Mircea Cărtărescu de a concura tot ce s-a scris în materie de proză în literatura română, „de la origini şi până în prezent”. Această limită, prea apropiată, a orizonturilor naţionale în materie de roman, i-a nutrit constant ambiţia unei cărţi de anvergură, orgoliul unei opere monumentale care să-şi contemple de la înălţime siderală, dacă se poate, nu doar preopinenţii de acasă, ci – mai important - să-şi înfrunte cu succes concurenţa externă, să o surclaseze chiar, inversând termenii”[…]

LEGAL INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES AND THE UNITARY APPLICATION OF THE LAW

L’INDÉPENDANCE JURIDIQUE DES JUGES ET L’APPLICATION UNITAIRE DE LA LOI

Author(s): Ioan Apostu / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2005

Keywords: the principle of judges’ independence; impartiality; Community law; the unitary application of the law

The Independence implies the requirement of a lawsuit resolution without any interference from any state’s representative or any other person; during the judicial proceedings, the judge has a neutral standpoint and he is neutral towards the interests of the litigant’s parties. The impartiality of the judges represents a key feature of the judicial activity and it is the basis of the judicial function, inevitably, a consequence of the principle of judges’ independence and their submission to law.

Shia hermeneutics of Ta'wil

Ši'ijska hermenutika Ta'wila

Author(s): Rešid Hafizović / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 05/1996

Provodeći dosljedno i kroz vijekove instituciju ketmana ili taqiyye, na individualnoj i komunitarnoj razini ši'ijske duhovnosti, koja je najprije štitila fizičku, a potom i duhovnu egzistenciju svakog člana ši'ijske zajednice, cjelovita duhovna tradicija ši'izma je, na taj način, uspostavila dotad neviđenu kulturu trezvenosti i sigurnosti, čija krajnja svrhovitost se ogleda u naporu da se izgubljena autentičnost muslimanske zajednice, usljed prenaglašenog historiziranja, a katkada i ideologiziranja duhovnog poklada Svete Knjige, iznova uspostavi putom onog hermeneutičnog metoda tumačenja objavljene mudrosti, koji će sva njena svjetopovijesna značenja i slikopisne ritmove iznova vratiti na njihova primordijalna određenja (Ta 'wil) i na njihove nevidljive duhovne zbilje smirene u metapovijesnom događanju duhovnih Činjenica Objave i njene vječne hijerognoze (AI-Ma'rifa Al-Abarawiyya).

Deutsche Geschichte im Spiegel von Volker Brauns Nibelungendrama

Deutsche Geschichte im Spiegel von Volker Brauns Nibelungendrama

Author(s): Wolfgang Düsing / Language(s): German / Issue: 8/2004

Die Interpretation von V. Brauns Nibelungendrama versucht, die zugrunde liegende Geschichtsauffassung herauszuarbeiten. Die Aufhebung der Sukzession der Zeiten durch einen bewussten Anachronismus der Darstellung führt zur Auflösung bisheriger Rezeptionsklischees des Nibelungenliedes, zur Parodie des Tragischen, zur Kritik des Heldentums und des Untergangsmythos, aber auch zur Erkenntnis, dass im "Unerledigten" der Geschichte die Zukunft liegt.

The Theater of Claude Régy, Synesthetic Experience and Eroticism of a Misty Body

Le Théâtre de Claude Régy, expérience synesthésique et érotisme d’un corps à l’état de brume

Author(s): Elise Van Haesebroeck / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: contemporary theater; hologrammic theater; synesthetic staging; eroticism; skiagraphia; Claude Régy; Tarjei Vesaas; Salladhyn Khatir; Rémi Godfroy

Questioned about the theater play God’s Mist, Jean-Claude Ameisen, researcher in cellular biology, describes Claude Régy as “a synesthetic director”. The object of this paper will be to show that in God’s Mist, the last creation of the director Claude Régy, in collaboration with the scenographer Salladhyn Khatir and the creator of the lights Remi Godfroy, the spectator is synesthète as far as he is invited to resume with the faculty not to distinguish his various perceptions. He is also invited to take a posture in which he does not analyze any more where do his various perceptions come from. Consequently, it may happen that the spectator cannot differentiate the Touch or the Visual from the Sound. At first, we will show how Claude Régy stages the collusion of opposites by giving to hear a character who seems to speak without cancelling the silence. Secondly, we will analyze the synesthesia between the silence and the light. Indeed, the lights created by Remi Godfroy seem to skip into the silences of the actor, as if they answered him. In a conclusive part, we will study how the synesthesia creates hallucinations and, thus, how it reveals the body of the actor as a skiagraphia, in other words as a written shadow.

A GREAT NOVELIST OF COMMUNISM: ION D. SIRBU

The novel Adio, Europa is brought under analysis, underlining the Sîrbu’s linguistic originality and his great talent of mirroring the depths of the human condition.

Some Issues of the Lucian Blaga – Iosif Brucăr Debate

Aspecte ale dialogului polemic Lucian Blaga–Iosif Brucăr

Author(s): Ionuţ-Constantin Isac / Language(s): / Issue: 12/2014

Keywords: Lucian Blaga; Iosif Brucăr; metaphysics; epistemology debate; phenomenology; non-symbolic phenomenology; interpretation.

This paper focuses on the interwar Blaga–Brucăr debate that revealed over their correspondence Brucăr’s genuine conviction that Blaga’s metaphysics was derived from or was a kind of Husserlian phenomenology. This claim was based on the assumption that the methodology used by Blaga in the Trilogy of Knowledge is essentially Husserl’s. On the contrary, Blaga’s explicit replies structure themselves in as many as arguments in favour of the originality of his metaphysics, thus denying Brucăr’s “hard” interpretation. However, accounting for the new contributions that non-symbolic phenomenology advanced in the last two decades (especially by Jacques Garelli and Marc Richir) means to rethink the whole subject-matter; we believe that the case might be reopened in the meaning of researching Blaga’s metaphysics by using the tools of the “new” phenomenology (i.e. in a “soft” interpretation). This way, one may continue the spread-out and comprehension of the Blaganian metaphysics in today philosophical world – a task yet unfulfilled in spite of many commendable efforts.

Reality is coming back: Blaga’s hidden hypothesis concerning the relationship between knowledge and reality

Realitatea se întoarce: O presupoziţie a lui Blaga despre raportul cunoaştere–realitate

Author(s): Mona Mamulea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 11/2015

Keywords: Minus-cognition; paradox; wave-particle duality; reality; phenomenal reality

: Prompted by the quantum revolution of the last century as well as by other scientific theories like Einstein’s relativity and Driesch’s entelechy, Blaga suggested an unconventional alternative epistemology which he thought to be more suited to explain the paradoxes that had occurred in certain scientific descriptions of reality. The following paper considers one of Blaga’s rather silent hypotheses concerning the reality behind his theory of knowledge.

The Island as a Microcosm in Jules Verne’s “The Mysterious Island”. From Desolation Island to Lincoln Island

Le microcosme insulaire de Jules Verne dans „L’Île mystérieuse”. De l’île de la Désolation à l’île Lincoln

Author(s): Didier Bertrand / Language(s): French / Issue: 10/2015

Keywords: Daniel Defoe; Robinson Crusoe; robinsonnade; Jules Verne; “L’Île mystérieuse”; imperialism; colonialism; children’s literature;intertextuality;

This article means to demonstrate that the complexity of Mysterious Island, stemming from the description of the place, this silent but omnipresent character, prevent it from being limited to the young readership intended by Hetzel, Verne’s editor. The anticolonial and antislavery discourse established as the ideological principle early on, is debunked by a counterdiscourse based on new knowledge of anthropology. Conclusions about Verne’s response to Defoe are also addressed.

Fear in Spain. The golden age of Spanish Horror Films during late Francoism (1968–1976)

Et l’Espagne frémit de peur. L’âge d’or du cinéma d’horreur ibérique à la fin du franquisme (1968–1976)

Author(s): Valentin Guermond / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: horror movies; fantasy; Spain; Franco’s dictatorship; ideology in film

In the present article, the author discusses the ideology in some Spanish horror movies made between 1968 and 1976, during the last years of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. The Spanish horror production, also called fantaterror, seems to be an indicator of the problematics of Spanish society. Indeed, it seems that the outbreaks of violence and eroticism of these films relate to the double face of the last years of the dictatorship, that of hedonism and of the repression of desires. By examining the specific aesthetic of the fantaterror and its narrative duality between Good and Evil, we want to show that behind the apparent entertainment these movies are inherently shaped by Franco’s regime. They deserve to be evaluated in terms of political, economic and cultural conditions in which they were created.

QUEER STUDIES AS A MODEL OF PLURALITY. AN INTRODUCTION

Argument or Testimony? Joy, Pleasure and Desire as a Topic of Fundamental Theology in the Work of C. S. Lewis

Argument, nebo svědectví? Radost, potěšení a touha jako téma fundamentální teologie u C. S. Lewise

Author(s): Šmejdová Barbora / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: C. S. Lewis; argument from Desire; apologetics; testimony; Christian imagination; language of apologetics

The aim of the article is to focus on the term “argument from desire”, which is often used by the scholars dealing with C. S. Lewis’s work, in order to answer the question if the term truly reflects the original thinking of the author. The first section briefly introduces the discussion of this topic in Czech and international titles. After that, we are going to describe the theme of Joy as related to Lewis’ notion of the word. The next section gives reasons why we think that the term “argument from desire” does not aptly illustrate the way the theme of desire and Joy is presented in Lewis’ work. Finally, the article discusses these topics from the perspective of fundamental theology and shows that Joy and desire should be rather seen as a part of Lewis’ personal testimony, which complements his rational arguments.

Fictional transposition of magical ritual realities: an anthropological context appropriate to the emergence of the Harry Potter character

Transpuneri ficționale ale realităților magico-rituale: un context antropologic potrivit pentru apariția personajului Harry Potter

Author(s): Camelia Burghele / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 30/2016

Keywords: appetite for magic; which; alternate world; magic; rituals.

The remarkable diversity of shapes under which contemporary magic is presented today is the main subject of anthropological researchers but also source to the political and advertising approach or literary or cinematographic production. The cultural products of the contemporary society react to market demand, which is made of the individuals to whose appetite for magic, under various shapes and formulas, keeps growing out of different reasons (finding a refuge or alternate world, answer to existential questions - or quite the opposite, shockingly concrete ones - the need for a certain acknowledgement, the temptation to manipulate destiny to favor personal gain, to reach a heightened level of knowledge unknown to the masses, so forth).

On enclosed place, open spaces and certain intruder(s)

Eugène Demolder, La Légende de Seppê-Kaas au jours des morts. Sur le lieu clos, les espaces ouverts et quelques intrus(es)

Author(s): Barbara Sosień / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: doubling; eponymous narrator; Belgium; Italy; naturalistic literariness; symbolic ambiguity; death;

In the story Légende de Seppê-Kaas au jour des Morts by Eugène Demolder every element is doubled. First of all, it concerns the composition, that is, the temporal and spatial structure of the text: the location, Belgium, i.e. the North versus Italy, i.e. the South; the time: present and retrospective past, the narrator: hetero- and homodiegetic. Next, there are the elements of diegesis, which define the narrative dynamics, as well as the symbolic imaginary stratum: ascetic minimalism and erotic freedom, darkness and light, naturalistic literariness and symbolic ambiguity. Cohesion is provided by the ubiquitous image of death: it is death that determines both the sense of current events and the significance of the scenes generated by memories, or, possibly, illusions of the eponymous protagonist-narrator.

Introduction. Planning and Building in Occupied Poland: The Architecture of National Socialism as a Multidisciplinary Research Field

Introduction. Planning and Building in Occupied Poland: The Architecture of National Socialism as a Multidisciplinary Research Field

Author(s): Annika Wienert / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: German occupation of Poland; Architecture; Art; National Socialism; Holocaust; Memory Studies; Interdisciplinary Studies;

Research into the German occupation of Poland has in recent years benefited from a number of new methodological impulses. Different studies have converged on the topic with new questions and research perspectives. One approach, which has generated a quite lively discussion among researchers in Poland and Germany, looks at the architectural history of the occupation. In view of the immeasurable atrocities committed by the Germans in occupied Poland, a focus on architectural history might at first sight seem rather peripheral. Therefore, a few comments on the relationship between architecture and occupation policies seem apropos. That Poland had a special place in National Socialist ideology and policies is well known. The Second World War began with the German army’s invasion of the country on 1 September 1939, and from the very beginning, the occupation was plainly a colonization project. Stereotypes of “Polish economy,” anti-Slavic racism, and supposedly historically-based territorial claims to a region imagined as the “German East” all made essential (from the viewpoint of the German occupier) a setting in motion of a radical and broad reshaping of the region. The phantasm of a German Drang nach Osten serving the claimed need for Lebensraum was the underlying premiss in the various versions of the General Plan East (Generalplan Ost), which envisioned a complete Germanization of the annexed Polish territories and large parts of the General Government.

The Polish Committee for Sports Events in Berlin on the Road to Normalisation of Polish-German Political Relations (1932–1934). The Political Background of the First-Ever Football Match between the Polish and German National Teams

Polski Komitet Imprez Sportowych w Berlinie na drodze ku normalizacji polsko-niemieckich stosunków politycznych (1932–1934). Polityczne kulisy pierwszego w historii meczu piłkarskiego reprezentacji Polski i Niemiec

Author(s): Rafał Jung / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: politics; sport; football; the Second Republic of Poland; The Third German Reich

The article discusses a unique Polish-state institution functioning in the interwar period, the Polish Committee for Sports Events in Berlin (PKISB). Through sport, its representatives channelled the ambition to shape Poland’s favourable image in the German Reich which was hostile to the Second Polish Republic. In the long run, the Committee proved to be an instrument for improving general Polish-German relations. The article focuses on an initial phase of PKISB activity, when, after Adolf Hitler came to power, the future of political relations between the hitherto antagonised neighbours was at stake. The activities of this institution have been analysed mainly with reference to football as the most popular sport in Poland and Germany.
