Author(s): Anna Górajek / Language(s): Polish,German / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: memory; the past; World War II; Jewish community

The following article is devoted to the perception of the past related to the Second World War by representatives of two different communities – Polish and German. The example of the memory of the Jewish community that lived before the World War II in contemporary Poland will show a different sensitivity of perceiving facts related to this period, depending on the social framework of the two nations.

Criticism – How Does It Work and How to Make It Work?

Krytyka – jak działa(ć)?

Author(s): Stanisław Godlewski / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: theatrical criticism; Oliver Frljić; Jerzy Koenig; Konstanty Puzyna; performance studies;

In his text, Stanisław Godlewski attempts to answer the two title questions: how theatrical criticism works and how can one make it work? He defines theatrical criticism as any judgment concerning theatre – not only the written one, and turns attention to the problematic nature of theatrical criticism as a source in theatre history. On the one hand, theatrical criticism is a reconstruction of a theatrical work (and thus a kind of performance), and on the other, a subjective recording of the reviewer’s reception. Godlewski analyses the way in which the position of “the review as a witness” can be dangerous in studies on theatre, as theatrical criticism has not only a reconstructive but also a preserving function and contributing to the discussion on theatre may become hermetic. Simultaneously, the author of the article notices that the unobvious narrative-making power of criticism reveals itself in the moment of historical studies, when theatrical criticism becomes a source – it is precisely then, that its use may lead to various, frequently surprising conclusions.

From the correspondence of Princess Łowicka

Z korespondencji księżnej Łowickiej

Author(s): Konstancja Morawska / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: modernism; 19th-20th century literature; Central Europe; culture; problems; literary criticism

A collection of translations of literary texts of the modernist period in Central and Eastern Europe, illustrating various dimensions of shaping the modernity of the region and various aspects of forming the identity of the literary hero of that period. The volume fills the research gap related to the lack of publications on the problems of Central and Eastern European modernism in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The translations were provided with notes about the authors and indexes. The 3-volume publication is the result of a scientific project carried out under the National Program for the Development of the Humanities. The authors propose to identify the literature of Central and Eastern Europe in the years 1867–1918 as a whole, using a category important for cultural research, which today assigns special importance to the phenomenon of place. Reflecting on the literature of modernism in Central and Eastern Europe, the authors of the project want to show how writers and critics responded to the challenges of their time and how the dynamics of their explorations was shaped. This is related to the choice of the time frame 1867-1918. Both dates are connected with the most important political events for modern Central and Eastern Europe. This is the time of the birth of nationalisms, but also of the emergence of utopias that cross the borders of national particularisms. The perspective proposed in the publication (and its tools) are not theoretical - the authors are less interested in defining modernism as a theoretical construct than in dealing with the living matter of local responses to the experiences and artistic impulses of modernity. Their main desire was to bring local stories together with the mainstream modernist narrative: about change and breakup, about the chaos of life, about the search for subjectivity, about the fight against the dictates of oppressive forms of culture and language, about the construction of identity in the individual and collective dimensions.

Author(s): Joanna Dobkowska-Kubacka / Language(s): Russian,Polish,Ukrainian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: 19th century; women’s right to work; emancipation; women’s press; Ilnicka

Maria Ilnicka, the editor-in-chief (1865–1896) of the magazine “Bluszcz”, had a great influence on the formation of attitudes and views of upper class Polish women in the 19th century. She was also a personage full of contradictions; although nowadays she is usually presented as a person with conservative views, but she can be seen as a feminist for she consistently supported the right of women to education (including higher education), and professional work also in the prestigious intellectual field.

Patterns of Women’s Social Roles in the Light of Prayers for Jewish Women (from the Beginning of the 19th Century to the Year 1939)

Wzorce kobiecych ról społecznych w świetle modlitw dla Żydówek (od początku XIX wieku do 1939 roku)

Author(s): Agata Rybińska / Language(s): Russian,Polish,Ukrainian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Jewish prayer books; Jewish prayer; tkhines; patterns

The aim of the article is to present the patterns of ideal Jewish women propagated in prayer books for women in Central and Eastern Europe in the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century. The analysis of the prayers written in Yiddish (tkhines), prayers of petition in German (numerous Gebetbücher) and in Polish (published by Elsenberg and Saulson) shows that the most important tasks and social roles were being a pious Jew, wife, mother and hostess. No attention was paid to secular education and also to preparation of girls for any profession. Only a few prayers can be interpreted as an inspiration to the women’s independence. The common religious patterns were identical in the orthodox, reformed and progressives Jewish communities, both in the big cities (including capitals), and in small towns – eastern Jewish shtetls.

POLAND OR EUROPE. AN ESSAY ON BOOKS OF POLISH NATION AND ITS PILGRIMAGE

Polska czyli Europa. Rzecz o Księgach narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego

Author(s): Marek Nowak / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: messianism; historiosophy; exhile; moral guidelines

After the failure of the November Insurrection (1830–1831), Adam Mickiewicz wrote the Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego [Books of the Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage], in which he included the messianic vision of Polish history and some moral guidelines. The reason for writing the booklet were disgraceful disputes that divided the participants of the November Insurrection in exile. According to some scholars, one can see the similarity between Mickiewicz’s Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego [Books of the Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage] and Novalis’s essay Christendom or Europe.

The Ghost of Shakespeare in the Poetry of Szymborska

The Ghost of Shakespeare in the Poetry of Szymborska

Author(s): Anna Frajlich / Language(s): English,Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Shakespearean themes; Polish poetry; Wisława Szymborska; Jan Kott; Tadeusz Różewicz

Shakespearean themes in Polish poetry offer a huge critical potential. Interestingly, following their disappointment with the aesthetic of socialist realism, poets turned almost en masse to the images of Shakespeare and Bruegel. References to Shakespeare became a sort of code for discussing the topic of tyranny in the face of a still oppressive censorship system. What interests me in particular is the inter-textual relation between Szymborska’s poems and Jan Kott’s essays on Shakespeare, since they both underwent the change of heart experienced by many writers who had been seduced by Communist ideology during the Stalinist era after World War II, and later experienced the need to cleanse themselves. Beginning in 1956, many writers in Poland, and in the Communist bloc as a whole, sought an opportunity to free themselves from the confines of ideology, to break away from the monoculture of the Stalinist years. Those writers included Jan Kott, Tadeusz Różewicz, and Wisława Szymborska, to name only a few from a much longer list. I examine Wisława Szymborska‘s poems dealing with this issue, and review the existing literature on the topic.

Humans in situations. Remarks on Julian Ochorowicz’s manifesto "Naprzód!"

Człowiek w sytuacji. Uwagi do manifestu Juliana Ochorowicza "Naprzód!"

Author(s): Anna Gomóła / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Julian Ochorowicz; Romantic manifesto; Positivist manifesto

Julian Ochorowicz wrote "Naprzód!" in December 1872. The poem, which he published (under the pen name Julian Mohort) in "Opiekun Domowy" magazine (1873), became a valued Positivist manifesto. Compared to Adam Mickiewicz’s "Ode to Yout" hand seemingly similar, it carried a different message. Ochorowicz did not contrast the young with the old but tried to see people in a situation, restricted by living conditions, and proposed they build relations with others despite differences and superficial divisions.

About relationships

O relacjach

Author(s): Grzegorz Pawłowski / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: philosophy; terminology; law; neuroscience; translation studies; culture; language

The interest of linguists in research findings from various fields of humanities and natural sciences is not waning. It has increased in recent years, inter alia, as a result of new ministerial regulations providing opportunities for more flexible evaluation of researchers and academic units. However, this interest stems primarily from the subject of linguistics itself. Linguists, having as their subject the linguistic and communicative properties of humans, cannot do without systematically following the results and research methods applied by the representatives of even those disciplines that only marginally take into account human beings, their genesis, nature, goals, or social functions. The interdisciplinary research involved here is simply natural for contemporary linguists. It is not easy to comprehensively present the initiatives resulting from such research in a single publication. The content of this work deals primarily with research that enjoys full acceptance in contemporary linguistic discourse. It is also full of innovative reflections on a number of relationships conceivable between linguistics and other sciences. These relationships are dealt with by the authors in the subject areas they have outlined.

Authors as Authoresses and How the Translator Deals with It: Double Appropriation (Translations of "Heroides" and "The Portuguese Letters")

Autorzy jako autorki i jak radzi sobie z tym tłumacz: podwójne zawłaszczanie. O przekładach "Heroid" i "Listów portugalskich"

Author(s): Joanna Partyka / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Heroides; The Portuguese Letters; Ovid; literary mystification; translation

The article presents the examples of feminine amatory discourse conducted by men. Ovid’s Heroides are the point of reference to which the authors of love letters often referred more or less consciously. The Polish seventeenth and contemporary translations of "Heroides" as well as the translations of "The Portuguese Letters" (1669), attributed to the Portuguese nun Mariana Alcoforado are recalled here. It proves that men’s authorship is quite visible in those texts as well as Ovid’s “prototype”. It seems that “feminine” love letters were to a certain extent a kind of refined game between the author and the reader, as well as of the translators of both texts.

Ecotheology in Dialogue with Natural and Social Sciences

Ekoteologia w dialogu z naukami przyrodniczymi i społecznymi

Author(s): Stanisław Jan Rabiej / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: ecotheology; religious environmentalism; ecological crisis; green encyclical

Ecotheology as a new field among the theological sciences tries to create a theological foundation for ecology and environmental protection. Taking into account the interdisciplinary perspective, it tries to establish a dialogue with natural and social sciences. At the same time, it creates the space for ecumenical meeting. The threat of ecological disaster unites people of different faiths and world views. The study is an attempt to justify to what extent ecotheology can help formulate a response to the contemporary ecological crisis. This task is only possible in connection with the achievements of such disciplines as: cosmology, evolutionary biology, ethics, social anthropology and cultural studies. Among the already existing attempts at such extensive research, it is worth taking into account the publications of Thomas Berry (functional cosmology) or John Zizioulas (ethical protology).

About heteromorphic messages and heterogeneous codes

O heteromorficznych komunikatach i heterogenicznych kodach

Author(s): Bożenna Bojar / Language(s): English,French,Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: natural language; artificial language; heterogenous language; heteromorphic message; mixed text; maps; musical notation; road signs; sign language

Languages (codes) can be homo- or heterogeneous, and their messages can be homo- or heteromorphic. The article shows (on the example of the Polish language) that such is the natural language (system) and its realizations (texts). Elements of other natural languages are present in the vocabulary and word-formation system. In messages in the acoustic subcode, suprasegmental acoustic elements with various functions (primarily emotive and conative) and visual elements (facial expressions, gestures, body language) overlap the proper phonic sequence. In written language, by shaping the signal (primarily in printing), apart from the semantic function, other functions (e.g. metainformative, metalingual) are implemented. Natural language texts are oft en mixed texts. For example, they contain elements of other natural and artificial languages, iconic characters and elements that are exponents of various functions, primarily metainformative and metalingual. Th e article also shows the heterogeneous character of artificial languages on the example of a map language, road signs, musical notation and a sign language.

Author(s): Danuta Bieńkowska / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Apocalypse of St. John; Revelation of St. John; contemporary translations of the Holy Scriptures; stylistics

The last book of the New Testament - the Apocalypse (Revelation) of St. John - is included by biblical scholars in the group of prophetic (apocalyptic-prophetic) texts. Characteristic features of this biblical genre are: a) vision (pictoriality); b) prophetic (prophesying, fortune telling, fortune telling); c) mystery (fantastic, symbolic, allegorical, parabolic); d) specific mood (catastrophism, atmosphere of tension and terror, as well as hieratic, solemnity). The article discusses the linguistic means by which these features are expressed in five contemporary Polish translations of the Revelation of St. John.

Komunikacyjne thrombosis. O współczesnych interpersonalnych aporiach semantyczno-komunikacyjnych

Author(s): Paweł Graf / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: aporeticity; social communication; communication barriers; homo esteticus; homo ideologis

The test analyzes numerous communication aporias that prevent conflict-free interpersonal communication. The inability of opponents to meet in the discourse leads to “communication thrombosis”, the eponymous thrombosis, which is responsible for the spread of bad energy and interpersonal aggression. The text looks for possible solutions to this situation and proposes replacing homo ideologicus by homo esteticus.
