"[S]o frech dürfen schöne Frauen sonst kaum irgendwo sein". Zur Orgeluse-Episode in Wolframs von Eschenbach Parzival

Author(s): Ute Michailowitsch / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2007

„Hardly anywhere else beautiful women are allowed to be so impertinent“3. The Orgeluse episode in Wolframs von Eschenbach Parcival. The central character of this article is the ducess Orgeluse von Logroys of the mediaeval novel Parcival by Wolfram von Eschenbach. The analysis is primarily concerned with the conception of Orgeluse von Logroys (her aggressive language, her Minnedienst, her vengeful behaviour). On one hand the reasons for such an exceptional female character are considered, as well as her criticism on the Arthurian society (a society based on minne-relationships and the resulting conflicts), on the other hand the “emancipated” Orgeluse is regarded to be an example of a new female role in literary fiction and thereby gives an answer to violence implied in minne.

"A ja zapisywałem siebie” – o Dzienniku Mieczysława Jastruna

Author(s): Joanna Kosturek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2014

The author of the sketch reads the Diary as a work behind the origin of which there is a sense of disappearance of life in the passing time, typical for Mieczysław Jastrun. In the context, the diary – filled, among others, with a register of small, everyday activities – seems to be a record through which Jastrun attempts to defy the nothingness and preserve his individual existence. The recording of everyday life is, however, not enough to fulfill this task on its own. Formulating remarks on Jastrun’s attempts to record his own existence and consciousness, the author references a text by Georges Gusdorf, in which the French philosopher discusses the goals and assumptions of autobiography, such as: creation of a coherent outline of one’s fortunes, interpretation and understanding of events and experiences of life, discovery of the truth of one’s own personality. Smuga światła [Streak of Light] is surely such a record. The uniqueness of individual consciousness is, however, expressed most fully in Jastrun’s metaphorical images, found not only in his poetry but also in the Diary and the Streak of Light. The author of the sketch, referencing and juxtaposing specific fragments of Jastrun’s poems, autobiography and diary, reads the meanings and connotations of one of these images – a beautiful woman entering a house – simultaneously showing the coherence of the subject’s imagination and sensitivity. Tracking of these distinctive images in the poet’s works and decyphering of their meanings resembles exploration of a “self” having a specific identity included in the texts. These images encompass an interpretation of the subject’s existence, express its distinctive metaphysical convictions, whereas their repeatability and permanency constitute the subject’s identity, preserving its existence in the volatile time.

"Ali", "Bez obzira" i "Uprkos" kao diskurzivni konektori

Author(s): Sanja Maričić,Milica Đurić / Language(s): Spanish / Issue: 2/2011

Este artículo representa un intento del análisis gramatical y pragmático de los conectores adversativos empleados con mayor frecuencia: pero, sin embargo y no obstante basándose en la idea del significado restrictivo que expresan en le lengua española. En cuanto al análisis gramatical, se investigará la distinta forma semántica a la que estos conectores pertenecen. La mayoría de los conectores discursivos son adverbios o locuciones adverbiales (sin embargo, no obstante) pero hay entre ellos conjunciones (pero), preposiciones… El objetivo del análisis pragmático será el hecho que activan una serie de "instrucciones" en qué sentido ha de interpretarse el enunciado donde se encuentran.

"Altogether such a one as thyself”: Art and Religion in Robert Browning’s Dramatic Monologues

Author(s): Fabian Ivanovici / Language(s): English / Issue: 7/2018

The present paper offers a comparative analysis of Robert Browning’s poems “Fra Lippo Lippi” and “Caliban upon Setebos,” wherein the main point of interest is the interplay between religion and art. I will investigate how religion is depicted and how it influences the artistic viewpoints espoused by the eponymous characters, emphasizing the role these two concepts play in shaping the speakers’ self-presentation and sense of identity. In the case of “Caliban upon Setebos,” I will also delve into Browning’s source of inspiration, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, so as to understand how Browning’s own character can be likened to, or contrasted with, the Renaissance playwright’s. Whereas Lippi the monk justifies his own penchant for naturalistic art through religion, Caliban takes to more rudimentary forms of art to assuage the fury of an unjust and wrathful deity. However, what seems to drive their definitions and redefinitions of artistic and religious discourse is an apparent lack of agency, which spurs them into rebelling against the limitations set upon them by external forces.

"Anhelli" genezyjski

Author(s): Jacek Lyszczyna / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2009

Just like Mickiewicz's “Books of the Polish Nation and its Pilgrimage”, Słowacki's poem was usually interpreted as the one describing Great Emigration and addressed to Polish emigrants. These two works however present two different images of Polish emigration and two different political and historical diagnoses. First of all Słowacki rejects in “Anhelli” the possibility to interpret Polish fate and future in the context of „the Christ of Nations” idea, which is suggested in Mickiewicz's work. “Anhelli” was one of a very few pieces from Słowacki's earlier works that the poet approved in his mystic period. In the context of his mystic philosophy such clearly pessimistic vision of emigration as the one presented in “Anhelli”, becomes a necessary element in a chain of transformations that lead to the perfect future.

"Ani buni"

Author(s): Rodica Zafiu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 49/2001

"Apologia obłąkanego" Piotra Czaadajewa

Author(s): Grzegorz Przebinda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: II/1997

"Approximately"

Author(s): Rodica Zafiu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 11/2002

The article deals with the special position held by the adverb "cam"(about, approximately, almost, rather) in Romanian as a principal manner to express vagueness and impreciseness. Various nuances used in various word combinations give different meanings and contribute to the phrasal enrichment of the language.

"Astérix et Obélix" – un univers pragmatique

Author(s): Alexandra Cărămizaru / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2013

The article uses notions and concepts borrowed from Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis (i.e. speech act and ethos), combined with the actantial model developed by Greimas (1966). The author focuses on the essentially pragmatic dimension of the textual world created by Uderzo & Goscinny: the actions performed by Asterix and Obelix, the heroes of the famous comics bearing the same title, are based on their knowledge and understanding of the world they live in (dictionary and encyclopaedia), on their will to act (intention), but also on the fact that they can act (they have a mandate from their leader). This pragmatic dimension is inherent to the discourse allowing certain relationships to be established between individuals acting in specific contexts. By identifying the dominant speech acts, the author draws up the ethical profiles of the selected characters and the corresponding relations, more or les asymmetric (at the social and/or discursive level), generated by them.

"Atrakcyjność kobiety" w języku. Analiza materiału językowego w wybranych czasopismach dla kobiet

Author(s): Simona Mizerová / Language(s): / Issue: 2/2014

The analysis of the chosen Polish magazines for women makes one reflect on one of the leading stereotypes typical of woman – to be attractive, fashionable and beautiful at every time and every age. We work on the presumption that the stereotypical image of a woman has an influence on the creation of a woman by the media, especially in individual articles of the analyzed magazines for women. Most of the authors create and describe the image of a woman with the aid of distinctive words concerning typical characterization of physical appearance and visual aspects of woman’s looks. Authors of particular pieces of writing use language constructions to show the woman as a beautiful, stylish and trendy person, they frequently use special words (not typical of the Polish standard), e.g sexy, seksy, trendy, megakobieca, supertrendy, superkobieca and the like. In the text we also refer to overusing the above-mentioned expressions. Next we present uncommon options and kinds of language used to show how we can perceive and describe the fashionable and luscious woman in the media world.

"auleta" und es bleibt alles beim Neuen! Zur Konstitution der polnischen Fachneologismen im Bereich der altgriechischen Musik.

Author(s): Grzegorz Pawłowski / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2015

Epistemic properties of a man constitute the base for change. So far little attention has been paid to those properties in semantics. Questions of epistemic factors, which influence the formation of specialised neologisms, have not been posed. The keynote of this article is the attempt to answer this question. To achieve this goal, I attempt to explain such expressions as ‚neo’, ‚epistemic’ and ‚specialised neologism’. Then I proceed with the presentation of the results of the analysis of an interview. The subject of the interview is the Polish neologism ‚auleta’, created by Maciej Kaziński during his work an the translation of John Landes’ Music in Ancient Greece and Rome.Epistemic properties of a man constitute the base for change.

"Auschwitz hin, Supermarkt her". Das musikalische Erschreiben der Gesellschaft der 1970er Jahre in Eckhard Henscheids "Die Mätresse des Bischofs"

Author(s): Martin Schneider / Language(s): German / Issue: 26/2017

The article interprets Eckhard Henscheids novel "Die Mätresse des Bischofs", first published in 1978, as an attempt to use musical writing in order to transform the German society of the late Seventies. The novel creates a textual score, in which different manners of contemporary social speech are interlaced with the memory of National Socialism, war and the Holocaust. In this context, the article relates Henscheid’s so far undervalued novel to the writings of Thomas Bernhard and the musical philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno.

"AUTOBIOGRAFSKI UGOVOR" RATNOG PISMA S POTPISOM ALENKE MIRKOVIĆ I GROZDANE CVITAN

Author(s): Miranda Levanat-Peričić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 2/2016

This paper deals with the relationship of the wartime literature and the autobiographical discourse in the fictional and non-fictional texts written by two contemporary Croatian authoresses, Alenka Mirković and Grozdana Cvitan. From the receptional point of view, when the autobiographical discourse connects with the wartime themes, the importance of the social status of the author is substituted by the socially important topics, and the question of “who has the right to the story of his own life” (Velčić 1991) turns into a question of “what is a socially relevant theme?” Prevalence of topics that are important to collective memory in wartime literature is almost self-explanatory; this kind of topic is selected by Alenka Mirković in her Vukovar war chronicle 97.6 Mhz. Glasom protiv topova. Mala ratna kronika ((11996, 22011). While the novel written by Alenka Mirković meets the reader’s expectations by offering “autobiographical contract” (Ph. Lejeune) in which the name on the cover guarantees the identity of the author and the narrator, in short stories written by Grozdana Cvitan, Psi rata i druge bestije (2007), a war reality becomes awider framework of literary (self)reflection with an absence of documentarity. Although in her war stories there is no classic autobiographical contract (since there is no correspondence between the name of the author and narrator), the character of the narrator who listens leaving the others to become the main protagonists, guarantees an authentic cover for mediation of autobiographical testimony.

"Bez tytułu i daty". O „szkicowniku myśli” Piotra Szewca

Author(s): Grażyna Maroszczuk / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

The subject of the article is notes by Piotr Szewc entitled "Bez tytułu i daty", published in “Kwartalnik Artystyczny” in the column of varia entitled "Z powodu i bez powodu". The sketchbook privacy is marked by writer’s mental state, the sense of an obvious bond with the events of a special personal meaning, discretely including notes into the area of emotion reactions. The author , being aware of the gaps of a memoirist form makes an attempt to order himself and drafts thoughts in his non-fulfillment, as well as fills in intuitions of the events reconstructed after years that are intensively close to him. A reflection on the past, that, according to the author is worth remembering, because otherwise, it would get lost without taking care of a tiny detail memory sticks to. Notes by Piotr Szewc point to a thematic dominance of the last achievements of the author of "Zagłada". The novel works are avoided here in favour of poetic and para-textual searches.
