(Samo)spoznaja u odnosu spram Drugoga i strana kultura kao izvor vlastita identiteta: pjesnik Zdravko Malić

Author(s): Tea Rogić Musa / Language(s): Polish,Slovenian Issue: 1/2016

This paper deals primarily with the poetry of Zdravko Malić, one of the most prominent Croatian Polonists of the 20th century, founder of Croatian Polonistics as institutionalized philological discipline, and the author of a comprehensive and far‑reachingliterary‑historic and translator’s body of work. Along with his literary‑scientificwork and work as a translator, as a poet Malić wrote a rather small but, in the composition of the whole of his interests, an indicative poetic contribution, which mirrors his research topics and the depth of their perception. As a Polonist, he covered his own poetic practice with a web of intertextual and citation points that helped him to refer to a foreign culture, Polish, as the starting point of his erudition. As a prolegomenon to the insight into his poetic collection, we will give a brief overview of Malić’s body of work and his activities, which supplements his biography as a Polonist.

I. Prijatelj in A. Nowaczyński: informativno‑korektivna funkcija prevoda (Wildovi aforizmi prek poljščine v slovenščino)

Author(s): Majda Stanovnik / Language(s): Polish,Slovenian Issue: 1/2016

Ivan Prijatelj, a literary historian and essayist, was a contemporary and collaborator of the group of Slovene writers known as the “Slovene Modernists” (slovenska moderna). Having obtained a sound training in Slavic philology, he was well able to translate modern poetry and prose directly from Russian, Polish and Czech, whereas in 1907 he made an indirect translation of Oscar Wilde’s aphorisms on the basis of the Polish version by A. Nowaczyński. The paper seeks to relate the characteristics of Prijatelj’s translation and the motives for its production to what is stated by the translator in an earlier essay on the art of translation which appeared in the introductory part of his study on Pushkin in Slovene translation (1901).

„Zbiór ten nie zostanie bezużytecznym w księgarstwie ciężarem”, czyli Narodowe pieśni serbskie wybrane i przełożone przez Romana Zmorskiego

Author(s): Izabela Lis‑Wielgosz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

In the article, the collection of Serbian folklore song translations, entitled Serbian Folk Songs, is regarded. The collection itself was prepared and published in 1853 and 1855 by Roman Zmorski. Located in the centre of consideration, it also becomes a pretext for a reflection on the essence of a literary text’s translation along with its communicational aspect and the role of the translator in the process of the fusion concerning two axiological systems, two cultural horizons — the initial one and the final one. Furthermore, the article serves to present a traditional translation in the nineteenth century: the reception of South Slavonic (Serbian) folklore poetry.

“Siedem zegarków kopidoła Joachima Rybki” — pisarski rachunek sumienia na lekcjach języka polskiego w liceum

Author(s): Lucyna Sadzikowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 25/2016

Gustaw Morcinek’s novel Siedem zegarków kopidoła Joachima Rybki is for hima sort of literary examination of conscience. In school practice, it can also be viewed as a road to a better cognition and understanding by a student of his/her surrounding reality. Reflection on the Silesian writer’s text may become a perfect means to make students aware of the universal nature of some issues and values. In Joachim Rybka’s closet, the clocks measure time giving a pretext for taking a trip down memory lane and recollecting adventures and characters possessing wordly wisdom. A S ilesian ditch‑digger is a distanced man and very candid. His long and well‑lived life gives him the right and privilege to have this attitude. He sees things that others do not want to notice.

Tekst, paratekst, przesunięcia interpretacyjne w polskich wydaniach "Przygód Fandorina" (część 2: parateksty werbalne)

Author(s): Marta Kaźmierczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 154/2016

The paper brings an analysis of interpretational shifts connected with elimination, addition or substitution of various paratexts in translation. The study is based on Boris Akunin’s historical detective novels in Polish editions, as compared to original ones. In the first part, the author has focused on illustrations, their communicative and associative potential. Here, verbal paratexts are discussed with regard to their functions: identifying, hermeneutic, informative and commercial. The shifts in paratextual use in the translated editions are interpreted in terms of the ambiguous tension between features of literary and genre fiction displayed by Akunin’s novels. Conclusions about the overall strategy of the publisher and its consequences for reception are ventured. In particular, Polish paratexts testify to the novels’ gravitating more obviously towards mass literature in the target context.

Współczesna książka polska w zasobach Górnołużyckiej Biblioteki Naukowej w Görlitz

Author(s): Michał Żytomirski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The Upper Sorbian Scholarly Library in Görlitz is a scholarly institution whose purpose is to collect, develop and render accessible documents which refer to the areas of Upper Lusatia. The library cherishes Enlightenment ideals from which it grew – its main purpose, which was determined already by German scholars, is to expend care about the development of scholarship in the region in order to enhance the wellbeing of its inhabitants. The purpose of the article is to determine the nature of the process of selecting Polish books for inclusion in the library collection, the areas of interest they represent, the authors and the places of publication. Motivation for writing this article had to do with a desire to distinguish the Upper Lusatian Scholarly Library on the map of European centres which work towardthe recultivation and the preservation of regional identities. The research methodology which was embraced precluded a holistic distinction of contemporary Polish books accessible in the OPAC catalogue of the GBN. This is caused mainly by the problems associated with the functioning of the catalogue. Despite these deficiencies, the article manages to present the main trends present in the way Polish books are selected for inclusion in the collection in question.

Dinamica dell’amore secondo San Giovanni della Croce

Author(s): Andrzej Ruszała / Language(s): Polish,Italian Issue: 1/2011

Artykuł przedstawia dynamikę miłości w życiu człowieka, która - w ujęciu św. Jana od Krzyża - jest dynamiką historii zbawienia, dokonującej się w człowieku i przeżywanej przez niego na co dzień. Przeanalizowane zostały najważniejsze momenty tej zbawczej dynamiki miłości, odczytywane przez Doktora mistycznego zawsze w kluczu personalistycznym. Źródłem miłości i jej rozwoju jest Boża inicjatywa i Boży plan miłości wobec człowieka. Fakt grzechu jest odrzuceniem ze strony człowieka miłości Boga, które rodzi konkretne, negatywne konsekwencje w życiu duchowym. Kolejnym etapem historii miłości jest objawienie Bożej miłości w tajemnicy odkupienia, dokonanego przez Chrystusa oraz odpowiedź człowieka na tę miłość i współpraca z nią.

La « petite voie mariale » selon Marie de Fiesole

Author(s): Andrzej Dobrzyński / Language(s): French,Polish Issue: 1/2011

W „małej drodze maryjnej”, proponowanej przez Marie de Fiesole, kluczowym jest odwołanie do metafory życia in sinu matris: stania się maleńkim pod sercem Najświętszej Panny, by całkowicie poddać się działaniu Chrystusa. Duchowość „życia w Maryi” jest chrystocentryczna, sakramentalna i kontemplacyjna. Naśladując Maryję w Jej uniżeniu, osoby wierzące przeżywają uczestnictwo w Eucharystii jako spotkanie z Panem w bijącym sercu Kościoła. W artykule podjęto także próbę ukazania małej drogi maryjnej od strony duszpasterskiej. Książka La toute petitesse jest mało znana, ponieważ wydano ją przed wielu laty we Francji w dwóch niewielkich nakładach. Artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie duchowości Marie de Fiesole szerszej grupie czytelników, zwłaszcza osobom zainteresowanym duchowością maryjną i karmelitańską.

Shaping the Goddess’ Image: The Role of Epithets in the Homeric Hymn to Gaia

Author(s): Marta Tymoshenko / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2016

The article considers the poetical function of epithets in the short Homeric hymn “to Gaia (XXX)”. The primary objective was to determine whether epithets could convey a deity’s image within the span of a brief narrative, since, as is often the case, Homeric hymns, owing to their brevity, do not contain a protracted mythological story. Furthemore, the article examined images of the goddess Gaia in the Greek literary tradition after Homer and Hesiod.

Escenas de bienvenida en las comedias de Plauto

Author(s): Łukasz Berger / Language(s): English,Spanish Issue: 13/2016

The article describes the home‑coming scene in Plautus focusing on the linguistic aspects of the social ritual. It is stated that welcoming the interlocutor who has returned from a long travel consists – as far as the face‑to‑face interaction is concerned – of several communicative steps: summons, two‑part greeting, ‘small talk’ question, invitation to dinner. Special attention is given to the formula salvom te (ad)venire gaudeo, its interactional meaning and contextual variability. Finally, the mechanisms of typical Plautine humour are explained through particular realizations of the home‑coming scene. By way of conclusion, the results of the study are contrasted with the same phenomenon in the comedies by Terence.

O roli bohatera w kreowaniu wywiadu prasowego (na przykładzie rozmów ze Sławomirem Mrożkiem)

Author(s): Magdalena Ślawska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The article is of an analytical nature. The author explains the specificity of a press interview and the type of communication that is characteristic of this genre. She presents the participants of the interaction: the journalist and the interview hero. Here an unusual interview with Sławomir Mrożek published in „Duży Format” (addition to „Gazeta Wyborcza”) is recalled. The author refers to this text as an example of a game and specific communicative strategy. This example and fragments of some other interviews with Mrożek prove that the hero of the interview influences the creative character of the interview itself.

„Silezjologiczna eseistyka…”? „Śląska szkoła eseju”? Refleksje wokół książki Mariusza Jochemczyka Wobec tradycji. Śląskie szkice oikologiczne

Author(s): Elżbieta Dutka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The book by Mariusz Jochemczyk, Facing tradition. Sketches in Silesian oikology, serves here as an example of some broader tendency, which can be described as Silesian essay writing or Silesian autobiographical essay writing. The author of the article asks a question about commonalities between such books as Nagrobek Ciotki Cili (Aunt Cilia’s Tombstone) by Stefan Szymutko, Antygona w świecie korporacji (Antigone in corporation) by Tadeusz Sławek, Listy z Rzymu (Letters from Rome) by Zbigniew Kadłubek, Lajerman by Aleksander Nawarecki and the afore mentioned book by Mariusz Jochemczyk. Certain essayistic ‘idioms’ of the discussed authors are being described here. The author asks about the future of the phenomenon, which refers to regional issues but certainly is not only of a local nature.
