Author(s): David Wills / Language(s): Serbian

Prosthesis is an experiment in critical writing that both analyzes and performs certain questions about the body as an “artificial” construction. The book deals with the mechanical in that most humanistic of discourses, the artistic – in order to demonstrate to what extent a supposedly natural creation relies on artificial devices of various kinds. Cutting across the terrains occupied traditionally by the history of medicine, film studies, art history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary theory, and fiction, it finds an artistic or cultural pretext for each of its expositions – a line from Virgil, a painting by Conder, a theory by Freud, a film by Greenaway, a text by Derrida, novels by Roussel or Gibson, a sixteenth-century rhetoric – that connects thematically or theoretically with the question of prosthesis.

„Gdzie ziemia się kończy, a morze zaczyna”. Szkice polsko-portugalskie

Author(s): Magdalena Bąk,Lidia Romaniszyn-Ziomek / Language(s): Polish

This volume presents a collection of essays which deal with Polish-Portuguese literary connections. It aims at bringing back selected Polish texts, representing various literary genres and types of writing, whose authors refer to elements drawn from the Portuguese history, culture, art, and literature or focus on the geography, topography and architecture of this land, situated at the very edge of Europe. The works discussed in this volume include writings of such authors as: Aleksander Przezdziecki, Adolf Pawiński, Zygmunt Bytkowski, Maria Danilewicz-Zielińska, Franciszek Ziejka, Renata Gorczyńska, Zbigniew Kadłubek, Marcin Kydryński and Magdalena Starzycka. The aim is to identify how Polish writers of the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries perceived Portugal and to establish the reasons why they referred to it. The Polish perspective dominates throughout the volume, since it is the Polish perception of Portugal that is the object of reflection here. There is one exception to this rule, though. A separate chapter is devoted to the reaction of the Portuguese to the January Uprising. Confident that their unrestrained and intense response merits a mention, the authors include its short presentation in this collection of Polish-Portuguese essays. The increased interest in the land situated at the far end of Europe, demonstrated by nineteenth century Polish writers, is thus placed in a broader context, which shows that this was by no means a one-way involvement.

Polska piosenka pop jako tekst w tekście kultury. Na przykładach z pierwszej dekady XXI wieku

Author(s): Piotr Pierzchała / Language(s): Polish

The thesis is an attempt at establishing characteristics of pop song as a genre. The pop song is easy to indicate intuitively by almost every participant of culture, yet its encyclopaedic definitions are nothing more than general. The analyses are based on the textological concept of reality in which the text examined – pop song – is a multicode message. The main aspects in question are lyrics, the CD covers and booklets, video clips, concerts as well as the image of the artist itself. The distinctive features of the genre are defined on the basis of the mutual interference of particular pop subtexts and the general concept of cultural text. The research material for the thesis are the works of the band Ich Troje and Dorota Rabczewska aka Doda. As the thesis tries to capture the socially functional type of message, high‑order text appearing in particular productions, the compositions selected for the analysis are model representations of the phenomenon.

Odkodowana bliskość. Powieściopisarstwo Enrique Vili-Matasa, Antonia Muñoza Moliny i Alejandra Cuevasa w kontekście prozy polskiej po 1989 roku

Author(s): Katarzyna Gutkowska-Ociepa / Language(s): Polish

The monograph constitutes a comparative study of selected novels published after 1989 in Spain and Poland. Instead of focusing on translation or reception issues, which are generally more popular in the case of comparative literary analysis, the study consists of a structural and problem analysis of the works of five prose writers coming from two distant cultural backgrounds. The interpretative and comparative analysis is preceded by introductory remarks concerning the state of comparative studies as a discipline of modern literary and cultural studies, focusing on American, Spanish, Polish and German theories in particular. From the very first pages, the monograph reveals itself to be a site of an ongoing struggle and shifts in the scholarly focus, ranging from the work of literature itself to various contexts (gender, sociological, cultural, political, etc.) existing outside the realm of literature, as well as the return to literature understood as the center of literary comparative studies, however tautological this statement may be. In order to find her way in the multilingual tangle of statements and contradictions, the author combines several cohesive literature-centric perspectives, which allows her to create her own methodological model, which, in turn, enables her to conduct an ordered, controlled and theoretically sound comparative analysis of selected Spanish and Polish novels. The study is based on hermeneutics and intercultural literary theory proclaimed by Norbert Mecklenburg, Mieczysław Dąbrowski’s theory of comparative studies of the discourse and the discourse of comparative studies, Andrzej Hejmej’s understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of comparative studies, as well as the idea of “open comparative studies” developed by the most prominent comparative studies scholar of the 20th century, Claudio Guillén. The aforementioned concepts were created on the basis of the idea of the autotelic nature of the work of literary fiction; due to that fact, they propose a study of literature as an aesthetically autonomic form of expression which can be related to external contexts inasmuch as it contributes to a broader interpretation of the given work of literature. Another important context for the theoretical part of the monograph is genology, which points to the potential of the novel as the currently dominant genre, characterized by the greatest openness with regard to both the topics as well as structural potential. As a result, the novel-both Polish and Spanishis presented as not only a textual construct and genre framework, but also as a reflection of the postmodern hybrid culture, in which idealization remains in constant conflict with the esperpentic tendency for self-ridicule, and pompous pathos competes with everyday ordinariness, while literature, relegated to the popcultural peripheries, thanks to its constant use of metareflection, thrives and boasts one of its most creative periods since the end of the 19th century. Chapters two, three, and four constitute the interpretative and analytical part of the monograph. The research material has been ordered according to the thematic similarities between the novels, which resulted in three main axes of division: the first constitutes a literary duel with the past and tradition, the second poses a challenge to the world of art (mostly painting and photography), and the third encompasses a narrative encounter with the world of culture. The first category includes two highly intertextual novels: “Castorp” by Paweł Huelle and “París no se acaba nunca” (“Paris Has No End”) by Enrique Vila-Matas. In the case of these two authors, what is constitutive for their fiction is a particular fondness for various literary games revealing the complexity of character creation as well as multiplying the levels of autocreation, which can be seen in the overt inclusion of autobiographical or quasi-autobiographical elements into the fictional narrative. This dialogue with Nobel Prize laureates (Mann and Hemingway) in the form of a novel allows the authors to construe their creations on two levels: half-joking, half-serious. This, in turn, reflects their unique approach to the literary craft, which uses intertextuality and autothematism as a pretext for distancing oneself from taking oneself too seriously, oscillating between authenticity and mask, or even masquerade. This, in turn, allows them to add to the complexity of the fictional nature of their work and open for their readers gateways to different literary worlds created by novelists such as Fontane, Duras or Perec. Thus, both novels ultimately become a house of mirrors, in which the fictional “I” is allowed to perceive themselves from different sides and angles. Chapter three constitutes an analysis of the way famous paintings are utilized in “The Polish Rider” by Antonio Muñoz Molina and “The Last Supper” by Huelle, two novels whose construction-similarly to the previously analyzed works of literature-hinges on a dense net of intertextual references. The allusions to the traditional yet mysterious Rembrandt and provocative yet aesthetically saccharine Świeszewski are, in fact, subversive, since, even though in both cases it seems that-due to the paratextual references-the paintings become the foundation of the narrative, that assumption appears ultimately erroneous. “The Last Supper” constitutes a set of allusions to the holy books, cutting satire and ridicule of the contemporary vices of the society (mainly Polish society), as well as a manifesto of the lack of faith in contemporary art, divorced from any aesthetic aspirations and concerned primarily with the pragmatic and media aspect. Antonio Muñoz Molina, in turn, references “The Polish Rider” by Rembrandt, even though the world he creates in his novel differs significantly from that described by Huelle: it is much quieter, much more private and intimate, ruled by the digressive nature of memories. Rembrandt’s painting, then, appears to be a leitmotiv of sorts, which connects the story of the protagonist’s family with the subsequent stages of Manuel’s life in New York and Madrid, as well as brings together particular stages of Spanish history and culture, starting with the turn of the 20th century, through the 1960s, and ending with the last decade of the 20th century. Both “The Last Supper” and “The Polish Rider” constitute an expression of longing for a place of grounding in history, a verbal picture of the universal need to reconstruct the feeble link with the elusive here and now, which continues to be uncertain, changeable, and treacherous. Chapter four touches upon the comparison of two novels by younger writers: Ignacy Karpowicz (born in 1976 in Białystok) and Alejandro Cuevas (or: Alberto Escudero Fernández, born in 1973 in Valladolid). “Gestures” by Karpowicz and “Quemar las naves” (“Point of No Return”) by Cuevas constitute two surgically precise accounts of the downfall of the two protagonists: Grzegorz and Eurymedont. Cuevas and Karpowicz play with conventions and the expectations of their readers at every level of the narrative structure; due to that, the meaning of the text escapes clear-cut assessments and generalizations, exemplifying at the same time the complex nature of the relationship between a work of art and contemporary culture. On the one hand, it strives towards tradition and history (various biblical and mythological references), but on the other hand, it remains also deeply rooted in popular culture. The Polish and Spanish experience-even though alluded to from time to time in an ironic manner-is substituted in a very natural way with the universal experience, thanks to which both novels become parabolic accounts of a lost existential finish. Chapter five (“The Game of Reflections. Poland and Spain as Two Links of the Same Cultural Chain. Conclusions and Final Remarks”) serves to ground the earlier comparative analysis in the context of transculturalism-a term proposed by Wolfgang Welsch and signifying a fluid concept of contemporary cultural divisions. The heterogeneity of the European identity, the ability to adapt to outside influences, the openness and aversion to strictly imposed boundaries-as Bauman points out-further strengthen the common denominator between the compared Polish and Spanish novels. This comparison facilitates also a distinction between the approach to narrative strategies between the older and younger generations of writers: the older novelists (Vila-Matas, Munoz Molina and Huelle) often utilize the “grammar of memory” and construct a historicist cocoon around the protagonists of their novels, while the younger writers (Cuevas and Karpowicz) focus on the “I,” while treating history, politics and metaculturalism only as a background and context. The Geertzian idea of discovering cultural diversity while taking into account the contemporary progress of the world of culture calls for an observation that Spain and Poland, despite their differences-with regard to the literary and artistic aspect-function in a very similar way in the transcultural chain of the 21st century.

Człowiek lokalny. Rozważania umiejscowione

Author(s): Aleksandra Kunce / Language(s): Polish

The following considerations derive from listening intently to the connection between man and a place, which could be somewhat loftily called a good act of serfdom, service (in) to a place. Under examination here is local man, and along with him, a cultural experience which holds hidden in itself the philosophy of locality and a tale about a place. What would the idea of locality be? Can one travel without an idea of home? Does local man have the power to create the world? These and other questions accompany reflections on man situated in a place. // The sense of crisis in situating oneself in a place and not going through the idea of the process of settling in through experience directs us towards affirmation of locality and local man. The hope for recognition of the intricate connections between man and a place is also a developing hope for extracting the idea of locality from a simplified picture of what is familiar, archaic, monolithic and closed. The transformation in thinking about locality and local man is dictated by the hope to “ease up on” the aggressive contemporary elevation of the uprooting, mobility and a global route of culture. Behind affirmation, as a gesture confirming the significance of the situating of man in a place, lies the hope for overcoming the mythicized separation of nomadic man from settled man. A place, with its accumulated density of experiences, intertwines what is uprooted and outgoing with what is attached and settled. // Affirmation of locality, however, is not an apology of a harmonious arrangement of a home, aim, community, sense of familiarity and clarity of cognition. The experience of locality leads to a “profound thought”, that is a though definitely radical, in the spirit of Nietzsche. It comprises an experience of both chasms and power that makes one “shiver inside”. The philosophy of locality exposes man to a place, confronts him/her with a place and compels him/her to fill the place with meaning and commitment. Man situated in a place is man bound to take up his/her place and live in this place creatively, without any support from the inherited thoughtless repertoire of tools for adaptation. // The interpretation of local man is written in eight essays and is richly illustrated. In the first essay “W stronę afirmacji lokalności. Wprowadzenie”, the philosophy of locality is unfolding as a profound and affirmative thought, which would clarify the road of man according to the teaching of a place. The place is what we are waiting for and what finds us.// The second essay “Człowiek lokalny i moc tworzenia świata” derives from the willingness to seek creative power in what is seemingly sluggish, stagnant and separate. Local man is revealed in his/her power to create connection with the world, in a binding tale about a place. Then, the next essay “Sprawiedliwi. Punkty doświadczeń” seeks to support the developed idea of locality in snapshots of old people photographed in different squares of the world. It directs us to the connections between locality, old age and the idea of the just. “Metropolis, lokalność i brak metafizyczny” connects the thinking about the city with the thinking about metaphysical community, home and locality, which leads to the description of cultural practices in Paris and Barcelona, but also to pondering about a local metropolis. // The fifth essay „Lokalne rzeczy to światowe rzeczy. Śląskie miejsce” introduces us into the thinking about local space as world space because it is in a place that one begins to decide about oneself as an individual and as community man – local man is Jedermann. Silesian Görlitz, with an experience of wandering and stories of those who lost their homes, allows to consider locality in the proximity of home and wandering. In the essay “To, co na uboczu. Po co na Śląsku chodzi się do upadłych parków?”, the author addresses the experience of being, developed by local man, which is formulated right on the sidelines of life. The discussion focuses on a desolate landscape construction of the former Silesian park Fazaniec.

Gender w przekładzie. Tłumaczenie na język hiszpański powieści Lubiewo Michała Witkowskiego

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

This article attempts a closer look at the issue of grammatical gender in translation. The analysis of this concept is based on Michał Witkowski’s novel Lubiewo (Kraków: Korporacja Ha!art, 2005 [2006]) and its Spanish translation by Joanna Albin (Lovetown, Barcelona: Anagrama, 2011). The author of the article aims to analyse problems of grammatical gender translation which stem from the differences between the Polish and Spanish grammar systems, and how the gender specific elements in the Polish text were rendered in the target language, especially in the fragments in which Spanish did not have the grammatical gender equivalent and the translator had to compensate for it in a different fragment.

K teorii ruské literatury a jejím souvislostem

Author(s): Ivo Pospíšil / Language(s): Czech

From a theoretical point of view the Russian literature is highly inspiring in its specific development from the Middle Ages to the present. Based on the research of literary theory and history in the broader context of Slavic languages and literatures the author outlines in several related studies the concept of the theory and history of Russian literature viewed from positions of comparative and genre studies in the background of several other Slavic and European literatures. As a natural part of Slavonic Studies this work follows current attempts to reinvent the theory and history of Slavic literatures. The text can also be seen as a preparatory study for designing comparative history of Russian literature and Slavic Literatures.

Pohádkové příběhy v české literatuře pro děti a mládež 1990–2010

Author(s): Milena Šubrtová,Ivan Nemec,Jitka Zítková,Martin Reissner,David Kroča,Miroslav Chocholatý,Naděžda Sieglová,Jiří Poláček / Language(s): Czech

Předložená monografie se věnuje problematice českého pohádkového příběhu v rozpětí od roku 1990 do roku 2010. Instalace svobodného knižního trhu, proměny ediční politiky se vstupem nových nakladatelských domů na českou literární scénu, konfrontace se zahraničními vlivy a především odlišné čtenářské kompetence současných dětí ovlivnily pochopitelně i žánrovou mapu současné literatury pro děti a mládež. Od 90. let 20. století se začínají rozvolňovat tradičně vnímané hranice, jimiž se literatura určená dětem vydělovala jako subsystém navenek, ale i hranice, které ji vnitřně žánrově i hodnotově stratifikovaly a čtenářsky kategorizovaly.

Corporeality, power relations and contamination in eighteenth-century British culture

Author(s): Ana Maria Tolomei / Language(s): English

The purpose of the book "Corporeality, Power Relations and Contamination in Eighteenth-Century British Culture" is to reconsider and show how corporeality by which I mean various ways in which bodies are organized can reshape the physical but most importantly the non-physical body in critical circumstances. Recuperation and rejuvenation attempts of obsolete values, de-construction, re-construction or re-creation of the body under the siege of a contaminant will to power or the obsessive need of de-contamination are some of the organizing and organizational systems analyzed in this book. Two of the main chapters of this book deal with common grounds and border transgression techniques in and of literary and medical discourses of epidemic and endemic disease like plague, smallpox or gout, with physician and non-physician writers focusing on the 18th century British culture. A skillful conjunction between the two leads to a high degree of textual and contextual synchronicity at the verbal, metaphoric level, and at the non-verbal level of physiological and psychological communication which are intensively and extensively analyzed in this book. This work is intended to be a social, political, moral and spiritual pre-reading, reading and re-reading of the body as text having in mind the assumption that body and consequently disease are culturally and historically determined or pre-determined when referring to previous uses of the body in its various manifestations.

Critical Posthumanism Cloned, Toxic, and Cyborg Bodies in Fiction

Author(s): Pelin Kümbet / Language(s): English

Focusing on three representation of posthuman bodies as cloned bodies in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005), toxic bodies in Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), and cyborg bodies in Justina Robson’s Natural History (2004) from the theoretical perspectives of posthuman definition of what it means to be human, this study discusses the changing concept of the body. In this context, the integral and dynamic connection between a human body and the world is of special significance, which opens up new possibilities to reconfigure the human body that is no longer conceded separate from the nonhuman world but embodied in it. Each of the novels significantly displays the in-betweenness of humans by making them interact with chemical substances, machines, and other nonhuman entities, and shows how clear-cut distinctions between the human and the nonhuman bodies have collapsed.

Sens życia, sens wiersza. Szkice o twórczości Stanisława Barańczaka

Author(s): Joanna Dembińska-Pawelec / Language(s): Polish

The work of Stanisław Barańczak – a poet, translator, essayist, literary critic – has for many years prompted studies, commentaries and interpretations. New editions of his legacy – correspondence with Wisława Szymborska, librettos of Mozart's operas, translations of the poetry of St. John of the Cross – open up a possibility for further research. The book "The Meaning of Life, the Meaning of a Poem. Sketches on the Work of Stanisław Barańczak" deals with unresearched problems of poetic, translation, epistolary and essayistic nature in the writer's oeuvre. In the author's interpretations, the axiological perspective is focal, unveiling the issue of the meaning of both human existence and his own literary work, which are inscribed in Barańczak's texts.

Komparativno proučavanje jugoslavenskih književnosti: zgodovine in perspektive postjugoslovanskih književnosti

Komparativno proučavanje jugoslavenskih književnosti: zgodovine in perspektive postjugoslovanskih književnosti

Author(s): Rok Bozovičar / Language(s): Slovenian Publication Year: 0

This paper aims to reconsider methodological and theoretical model for comparative studies into regional post-Yugoslav literatures. It thematises the historic case of conference proceedings Komparativno proučavanje jugoslavenskih književnosti (1983, 1987, 1988, 1991; Zagreb–Varaždin). Aforementioned attempt to establish scientific organization in form of conferences and proceedings has not brought major disciplinary consequences, i.e. a methodological and theoretical model that would be useful for today’s post-Yugoslav (regional) comparative literary research. National literatures are not immutable cultural and historical formations, but it is a dynamic system of relations in the international context. This paper questions a formation of post-Yugoslav (regional) comparative literary research after the period of national emancipations and in the transition through the age of global mobility.

Podoby české literární reportáže

Author(s): František Schildberger / Language(s): Czech

The thesis “The Ways of Czech Literary Reportage” constitutes an attempt to map the genre of reportage in Czech literature. In the introductory part of the text, the methods of literary studies – originally conceived for analysing fictional narratives – are applied to reportage texts, with the aim of establishing whether (and to what degree) the genre of reportage fits the criteria concerned. Further on, the thesis contains profiles of key figures and phenomena in the evolution of Czech-language reportage, from the 19th century antecedence of the genre to the peak of its development in the 1930s and 1940s, following through to the 1980s. The examples featured are used to illustrate both the inspirational and the constricting influences of the literary and social developments in the Czech environment on the genre of reportage. The crux of the thesis lays in its endeavour to demonstrate the manner in which the key literary figures – all considerably diverse as artistic types – reacted in their writing to both the progress and the constricted possibilities of creating reportage. The thesis emphasises the variety and diversity of creative approaches to reportage which resulted from these circumstances.

Gendži monogatari a populární literatura období Edo: Případová studie díla Nise Murasaki inaka Gendži autora Rjúteie Tanehika

Author(s): Marek Mikeš / Language(s): Czech

Genji monogatari (The Tale of Genji) was written before more than a thousand years and is perhaps the best-known work of classical Japanese literature, sometimes even dubbed as the world's oldest novel. This publication explores the ways in which Genji monogatari was treated by authors of popular literature in the Edo period (1600–1867), especially Ryūtei Tanehiko, author of the contemporary bestseller Nise Murasaki inaka Genji, which is based on Genji monogatari. This book offers an introduction to early-modern Japanese literary paraphrases and examines creative strategies used in works that inventively drew from Genji monogatari.

Howard Jacobson´s Novels in the Context of Contemporary British Jewish Literature

Author(s): Petr Anténe / Language(s): English

The novelist Howard Jacobson, who received the 2010 Booker Prize for The Finkler Question, has often been characterized as the ""British Philip Roth"",although he himself prefers to be viewed as the ""Jewish Jane Austen"". This monograph concludes that both comparisons may be used to comment on various features of Jacobson's oeuvre. Like Roth, Jacobson tends to focus on male Jewish protagonists and intimate relations between the sexes. Like Austen, he portrays a certain social class, whether it be the British Jewish minority or the social world of British writers and university professors. Apart from reflecting on the tension between Britishness and Jewishness as inseparable aspects of his characters' identities, Jacobson's novels contribute to the traditions of British and Jewish humour.

Libuše. Edice libret / Edition of Libretti

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Czech,German,Italian

The story of the mythical Princess Libuše has been one of the cornerstones of the “old Czech tales” for more than a thousand years. Over the centuries, it has also inspired many artistic treatments. Libuše had already entered the opera stage at the end of the 17th century – after several performances in Italian during the Baroque era, she reappeared in the first quarter of the 19th century in German Romantic opera. During the 19th century, Czech artists gave the character of Libuše – at least in the Czech environment – a petrified form. The anthology of Libuše librettos gathers for the first time in its comprehensiveness all published and so far unpublished opera librettos and other texts from the 17th to the 20th century, mostly set to music. It includes works written in Italian (F. Parisetti, G. C. Corradi, A. Denzio) and German (E. von Lannoy, J. C. Bernard, J. L. Choulant, J. Bayer, J. Wenzig, L. Hartmann) with parallel Czech translations, as well as texts in Czech (J. K. Chmelenský, F. Patočka, J. J. Kolár, E. Špindler, E. Destinnová, J. Berg). The edition is accompanied by an introductory study in Czech and English.
