Survey Among writers: How the Internet influences literatry writing?

Ankieta: W jaki sposób Internet wpływa na twórczość literacką?

Author(s): Anna Nasiłowska,Magdalena Miecznicka,Maciej Cisło,Krystyna Kofta,Jarosław Klejnocki,Janusz Drzewucki,Jacek Bocheński,Tomasz Jastrun,Piotr Wojciechowski,Sylwia Chutnik,Stefan Chwin,Jerzy Sosnowski / Language(s): / Issue: 3/2014

Pytanie „w jaki sposób Internet zmienia twórczość literacką?” sugeruje, że chodzi o wpływ Internetu na sam proces twórczy autora, zwłaszcza że zostało ono zadane pisarzom, a nie np. socjologom. Można by więc sprowadzić je do wersji „czy istnienie Internetu zmieniło twój sposób pisania?”. Trudno jednak oderwać takie pytanie od innych narzucających się pytań: „czy sytuacja społeczna twojej twórczości zmieniła się wskutek istnienia Internetu?”, „czy zmieniła się dystrybucja?”, „czy zmieniła się recepcja?”, „czy zmieniła się twoja pozycja wśród autorów?” i „czy te pośrednie wpływy Internetu zmieniają w ogóle twórczość, w tym również twoją?”. A może powiedziałeś sobie „mnie to wszystko nie obchodzi, jestem suwerennym twórcą, zawsze takim samym, piszę jak piszę, u mnie żadnego ulegania wpływom nie ma i nie będzie”.

Masculinity as a Project: Some Psychoanalytic Reflections

Męskość jako projekt: kilka uwag psychoanalitycznych

Author(s): Gunnar Karlsson / Language(s): / Issue: 2/2015

Keywords: phallic masculinity; masculinity; gender; psychoanalysis; phenomenology; transcendence; immanence; phallocentrism

In this article Karlsson discusses the question of phallic masculinity from a subjective perspective, more specifically from a psychoanalytic perspective supplemented with phenomenological reflections. A vantage point for this discussion is the distinction between sex/being a male and gender/masculinity. The focus is on the boy’s/ man’s striving for a phallic masculine identity – a striving that can be described in terms of a ‘project’. The term ‘project’ indicates that phallic masculinity is a striving for a possibility that is not yet realized and will never be realized, since it essentially entails a denial of our existential conditions such as our vulnerability, transience and dependence. The psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion conceives of phallic masculinity as a repudiation of the feminine/motherly containment. The phallic masculine project has alienating consequences, but an escape form this trap is possible only through a phenomenological revision of masculinity – a revision that leads from transcendence to immanence.

Being a Ghost and a Medium for Ghosts: The Experience of Auschwitz in Charlotte Delbo’s Work

Bycie widmem i medium dla widm – doświadczenie Auschwitz u Charlotte Delbo

Author(s): Marika Langot / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: memory; Auschwitz; Charlotte Delbo; spectre; testimony

Langlot analyses Charlotte Delbo’s Spectres, mes compagnons [Ghosts, My Companions] to examine the role of the ghost or spectre that appears on many levels. This figure helps writers picture the workings of memory and the status of the witness, as well as the prisoners’ situation. It also helps us understand if literature (in, about and after) Auschwitz is impossible and void of meaning, or to what extent it turns out to be necessary to maintain our humanity and the links between witnesses, victims, and those who receive the testimony; to testify about the camp in the face of the difficulties with representation. Delbo’s text, the beliefs expressed in it and the many meanings of the figure of the ghost or spectre can become the key to interpreting other works by this author.

Searching for Migratory Writing: The Cosmopolitics of a Literary Work from the British Isles

W poszukiwaniu migracyjnego pisania. Kosmopolityka pewnego przypadku literackiego na Wyspach

Author(s): Dorota Kołodziejczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2016

Keywords: migration; migration writing; worldliness; cosmopolitanism; cosmopolitics

Locating the discussion about Polish literature written on the British Isles after 2004 at the intersection of postcolonial and post-dependency studies, the article aims to show the need to formulate critical paradigms that would be able to include those works’ intensively developing worldliness. This term, which is key for migration writing, was coined by Edward Said and signifies an active awareness of the world (agency and subjectivity). It develops in migration writing as ‘cosmopolitics’ – the cosmopolitanism of contemporary mass migrations. Presenting Piotr Czerwiński’s fiction as a case study, Kołodziejczyk traces processes of going beyond the nation/emigration dichotomy in today’s mobility, nomadism and other forms of migration.

Wittgenstein and Dostoevsky: ‘The Happy Life’ and the Question of the Subject

Wittgenstein i Dostojewski - życie szczęśliwe i kwestia podmiotu

Author(s): Piotr Dehnel / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2016

Keywords: ethics; subject; language; ‘the happy life’; absolute values; literature

This article explores the influence of Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy. While many scholars have discussed how this novel influenced the philosopher’s ethics, Dehnel suggests that it also had an important impact on Wittgenstein’s concept of the subject as the limit of the world – a concept expounded in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

A Part of Death: Passive Frankism and Black Gnosis in Leo Lipski’s Piotruś

Część śmierci: bierny frankizm i czarna gnoza w Piotrusiu Leo Lipskiego

Author(s): Adam Lipszyc / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: Leo Lipski; Ingeborg Bachmann; anality; messianism; Frankism;

Ingeborg Bachmann’s draft for a review of the micro-novel Piotruś by Leo Lipski allows Lipszyc to portray the world represented in the Polish-Jewish emigre writer’s work as a space of Babel-like chaos that revolves around the anal sphere inhabited by the protagonist’s deformed body. The messianic motifs woven into the text – subtitled ‘(apokryf )’ or apocryph) – cannot be read uncritically. Lipszyc juxtaposes the theology of Piotruś with Jakub Frank’s ideas, suggesting that the protagonist Piotruś embodies a paradoxical ‘passive Frankism’ who walks the path of ‘black horror’. This path offers no redemption but brings us in touch with ‘a part of death’ – a point in our soul where we remain entirely opaque to ourselves. Even though the protagonist himself is headed for destruction, as a literary figure he is a sign of the singularity of suffering.

Pretextual Ethnography: The Phenomenological Roots of Anthropological Interpretation

Etnografia przedtekstowa. Fenomenologiczne korzenie interpretacji antropologicznej

Author(s): Tomasz Rakowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: pretextual ethnography; thick participation; headnotes; phenomenology; ethnographical experience;

Rakowski discusses how pretextual knowledge is produced in anthropological studies. Pretextuality is mainly understood as an active process, an embodied formation of knowledge that takes shape as a series of recognitions filling the ethnographical experience as it emerges in the research field. Thus instead of the logic of interpretation that is based on the practice of ‘thick description’ Rakowski proposes an interpretation through the logic of action, related to the practice of ‘thick participation’ and at the same time to the creation of a chain of headnotes. Rakowski also reconstructs attempts to build a second pillar of pretextual ethnography, i.e. the collection of phenomenological idioms referring to embodied field experience and at the same time to the permanently deforming anthropological understanding.

Vetting of Gombrowicz’s “Diary” in “Gombrowicz, este hombre me causa problemas” by Juan Carlos Gómez

Prześwietlanie Dzienników w Gombrowicz, este hombre me causa problemas Juana Carlosa Gómeza

Author(s): Nina Pielacińska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2019

Keywords: autobiography; diary; essay; Witold Gombrowicz; Juan Carlos Gómez

This paper discusses “Milonga for Gombrowicz”, an essay written by Juan Carlos Gómez in which the author begins by reflecting upon Gombrowicz’s “Diary”. As Gómez was one of the Polish writer’s closest Argentinean friends, the biographical perspective enables the text in question to be read as an intimate history of their relationship that is also shared with the public. As the analysis presented in this article shows, Gombrowicz’s work offered Gómez an opportunity to metaphorically resume their conversations which had been disrupted when Gombrowicz departed Argentina, providing him with a pretext to present his own philosophical views, and above all to convince readers that he was the only legitimate “heir” to Gombrowicz’s “throne”.

Helena Beatus – Not Jest a “Sacred Muse”

Helena Beatus – nie tylko „muza sakralna”

Author(s): Dorota Samborska-Kukuć / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2019

Keywords: Helena Beatus; Antoni Szandlerowski; Young Poland; diary; self writing

Until now, researchers have classified the Writer, editor and social Activist Helena Beatus (1882-1916) a minor role in literary history. Her liaison with the poet Antoni Szandlerowski, a Catholic priest, moreover, has placed her in the role of a “sacred muse”. The scandalous nature of this relationship (she was Jewish and married) led to a number of misrepresentations of her person. In fact, her influence on Szandlerowski’s creative process becomes apparent when we Examine her autobiographical novel, which includes her letters to the poet, as well as the correspondence Szandlerowski published in Confiteor. Whatever the real nature of her contribution to Paraklet, a play attributed to Szandlerowski, it is worth examining Beatus’ life and work as an independent phenomenon.

Men of the Future: Futurism and Peripheral Masculinity. A Preliminary Discussion

Mężczyźni przyszłości: futuryzm i peryferyjna męskość. Prolegomena

Author(s): Kasper Pfeifer / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 38/2018

Keywords: masculinity; gender; futurism; fascism; revolution;

The aim of this preliminary insight is to explicate the relationships between the masculinities of Italian, Russian and Polish futurisms. The article, by examining the manifestos and poetry of Polish futurists, shows an inclusive and prospective masculinity project proposed by this movement. Another important objective of this research is to propose an interpretation of the masculinist ideologies of futurism as the “masculinities of tomorrow,” which should be valid in the future and should act as a cure for the peripheral status of the region and variously defined “crisis.”

Reading Harold Bloom – What For and How? On Canonicality of the Critic

Po co czytać Harolda Blooma i jak, czyli o kanoniczności krytyka

Author(s): Karina Jarzyńska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2020

Keywords: kanon literacki; Harold Bloom; kanoniczność; lęk przed wpływem; kanon literatury polskiej; literary canon; canonicality; the anxiety of influence; canon of Polish literature

The relationship between the idea of Harold Bloom’s literary canon and the status of his own critic’s oeuvre is discussed in the article. Diverse topics and literary styles cultivated by the author of The Anxiety of Influence were characterised and evaluated from the perspective of their canonicality understood as an aesthetic and social value. According to Bloom himself, the canonical texts also offer the spiritual value with help of such tools as irony and metaphor, provoking the readers to assess their own condition. The article presents the Polish reception of Harold Bloom’s texts and examines the presence of Polish literature in the Western literary canon designed by him. Its weak representation demands response of the critics who could propose their own list of literary works based on criteria equally strong as Bloom’s ones but overcoming his oftentimes colonial, patriarchal and exclusionary influence.

“Corpus of the Four Poets”: the digital dimension of the national heritage. Project assumptions

„KORPUS CZTERECH WIESZCZÓW” - CYFROWY WYMIAR DZIEDZICTWA NARODOWEGO. ZAŁOŻENIA PROJEKTU

Author(s): Tomasz Korpysz,Anna Mędrzecka,Ewa Mirkowska,Marek Troszyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 07/2022

Keywords: Zygmunt Krasiński; Adam Mickiewicz; Cyprian Norwid; Juliusz Słowacki; poet; prophet; corpus; vocabulary; idiolect;

This paper presents the preliminary assumptions of the “Corpus of the Four Poets” project, carried out in cooperation between Polish philologists (IBL PAN, UKSW) and IT specialists (CLARIN-PL, Wrocław University of Technology). The aim of the project is to create a digital corpus containing all Polish-language texts by the authors of the so-called “Great Romanticism”: Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, Zygmunt Krasiński, and Cyprian Norwid, as well as to develop IT tools integrated with the corpus. The final result will be an online open access database with software. The texts for the corpus have been selected from the print sources that are well-known to readers, which provides the most complete and accurate form of the texts and a relative completeness of the lexical base. The set of metadata and annotations developed in the subsequent stages of the project will enable retrieval of the data on the language of individual authors and their objectivised comparison.

“The Mother Says to Her Son: They Are Many, We Are Few”: Goy Customs According to Philip Roth

Matka mówi synowi: ich jest wielu, nas jest mało… Obyczaje gojów według Philipa Rotha

Author(s): Piotr Weiser / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: Philip Roth; Jews; Jews in America; goys; Gentiles; anti-Semitism

Jewish identity issues in Roth’s work also concern the protagonists’ complex relationswith their non-Jewish neighbours and colleagues, as well as their political andsexual relationships. Weiser sheds light on this Jewish-American writer’s ambivalentrepresentation of non-Jewish Americans. They have their own exclusive customs, butat the same time they and the Jews all form one secular and multiethnic nation. Theword goy – Roth uses it interchangeably with Gentile – contains multiple emotionalconnotations. Mostly used as an invective, it sometimes appears neutral, and at othertimes we may detect in it an attempt to endow it with positive associations.

Draining History: Mud and Modernity

Osuszanie historii. Błoto i nowoczesność

Author(s): Katarzyna Czeczot,Michał Pospiszyl / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2021

Keywords: environmental history; ecological crisis; enlightenment; people’s history; Eastern Europe

The point of departure for this article is Eastern Europe and its association with mud,which fascinated writers of the enlightenment period. They pictured the regionas a wilderness inhabited by fugitives, smugglers and miscreants – an image thatwent hand in hand with their “civilising” mission of harnessing both nature and thepopulation to productive work. In this narrative mud figures as a hindrance to progress.It is remarkable that mud reappears in the same role in modern Polish cultural textssuch as Stefan Żeromski’s Przedwiośnie [The Spring to Come] or Maria Dąbrowska’s Nocei dnie [Nights and Days]. The authors’ goal is to construct an alternative narrative of themodernising projects developed in relation to Eastern Europe from the eighteenthcentury until the present.

Anna Świrszczyńska’s Poetry and the Body in the Mirror (of Consciousness)

Ciało w zwierciadle (świadomości) na przykładzie poezji Anny Świrszczyńskiej

Author(s): Bogusław Grodzki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2021

Keywords: body; mirror; Narcissus; introspection; affect; abject; somaconsciousness; somatopoetics;

Discussing the topos of the mirrored reflection of the woman’s body in AnnaŚwirszczyńska’s poetic works Grodzki finds a profound somatisation of the experienceof being a woman; representations of the poet’s own body are characterised by anaffective ambivalence: the body is the source of limitless self-acceptance and anarcissistic self-love, but it also appears as something alien or abject that may generateauto-aggression. As the subject becomes aware of this dualism there arises a needfor a transgression that would overcome the dualism by becoming someone else,somewhere else. The ambivalence regarding the image of the female body reveals thetendency of Świrszczyńska’s poetics to overcome the artistic and cultural boundariesthat limit individual self-expression and self-definition

Kmicic’s Cut

Cięcie Kmicica

Author(s): Sebastian Jagielski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2023

Keywords: Tomasz Kozak; national culture; queer; jouissance; censorship

The author analyzes Tomasz Kozak’s video Klasztor Inversus (Cloister Inversus; 2003), inwhich selected scenes from the film adaptation of Sienkiewicz’s The Trilogy mix with agay pornographic film. In this way, Kozak exposes the perverse nature of national culture.It is anality that enables one to negate the obligation to reproduce the conservativecodes of Polish culture, opening up to the creation of non-traditional, non-patriarchal,and non-heteronormative social practices. Viewing Kozak’s video through the prismof various types of cuts – montage, anal, censorial – provokes reflection on cinema asa medium that not so much satisfies the desire for domination but rather promisesmasochistic jouissance.
