O WARTOŚCIACH I WARTOŚCIOWANIU W KINIE

Author(s): Katarzyna Citko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2016

Talking about the axiological rule in relation to the art of film, should be taking into account the fact that the values appearing in the film can be seen on several different levels. The film is a work of art, and so realizes and embodies the values artistic and aes- thetic. At the same time its plot carries a variety of moral values. There are in the movie, mixed with each other, values associated with the pleasures of the spectators, the values of vital, spiritual, values ethic and aesthetic, as well as the values of sacrum and profa- num. In this case, it should be noted that the values occurring in the world of the screen, and represented by the team of filmmakers and the viewers, can generally distinguish. Because the films also have the value of commercial objects, it is better talking about values in the cinema than in the film; such approach allows for the inclusion in the dis- cussion of issues related to the film as a work of art, with film production, distribution and the processes of its reception. The article discusses the various types of values oc- curring in the cinema, as well as concrete examples of their corresponding films.

τòν ναòν oν Παρθενω̃να oνομάζουσιν: Pausanias (1.24.5) and Other Ancient Accounts of the Greek Most Sumptuous Temple

Author(s): Bogdan Burliga / Language(s): English,Latvian Issue: 13/2016

The Parthenon is nowadays perceived commonly as a masterpiece of Greek art, indeed an architectonic symbol of beaux arts at all. This was not the case in antiquity, however, when various factors contributed to the fact that it was occasionally treated, even by intellectuals, with indifference, to list only the names of Pausanias the Periegete, and earlier – Thucydides.

I volti della pazzia. Un viaggio tra sacro, superstizioni e tabù

Author(s): Julia Krauze / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 13/2016

Etymologies of various world languages present “insanity” as unexplainable feelings of heterogeneous psycho‑somatic coloring; they contain a certain kind of inner emptiness, yet overfilled with a strange force that drives into unknown. Some times this enigmatic power carries away body and soul, causing fear and respect. There is a need to define, even in a general way, some aspects of such a large topic as “insanity”, namely: sacrum, superstition, taboo.

The Aura and Truth in the Era of Digital Manipulation

Author(s): Divna Vuksanović / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2010

In the “information era”, as the age of general media spectacularizaton and digitalization, Benjamin’s aura, as the quality of originality and unrepeatability of magical objects of nature as well as of art in the era of its mechanical reproducibility, gains completely different functions. It is influenced by the radical change of the epistemological framework of explaining and understanding the world, as well as its reflections on the sphere of social relations and art. It could be assumed that aura does not fully vanish from reality, as a previously important mark of art, but that it has been transferred to different fields of action. This new ontology, not only of art but also of the world of culture and nature, does not preserve the relation with truth as a basic value of artistic, cultural, social and natural appearances. The aura has been importantly transformed as the lack of originality has determined the situation in which each digital copy stimulates the missing original, and, along with that, presents the possibility of “auratic” difference in relation to some other copy.

Karykatura jako wypowiedź krytyczna w demokratycznej debacie. Przypadek „Charlie Hebdo”

Author(s): Barbara Białek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The article points the problem of the role of artists and political cartoon in initiating a discourse within the dispute about the freedom of speech and forms of the contemporary democracy in the culturally and politically diversified Europe. It exposes the critical potential of satirical cartoon in its political variation. The avant-garde aspect of breaking the old conventions in the Islamic art, burdened with a religion-based ban on depicting, resulting, however, in a new form of iconoclasm.

Eluding the Void: Art and Humor as Anodynes for Witkiewicz, Beckett, and Faulkner

Author(s): Greg Perkins / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2013

The author considers the extent to which the literary work of these writers was driven by a response to the apparent vacuousness of existence. A brief overview of their lives traces the interplay of eschatological questions and the forces of creativity. Impressions gleaned from such varied backgrounds were often interwoven into their creative outputs which often share a Schopenhauerean common denominator. This often translates to a sullen pessimism which suffuses their respective works and emanates from the concept of the void. Establishing a case for the degree to which art and humor acted as anodynes is speculative; there is no question concerning the importance of both in their lives. Art, or en-gagement in the creative process, occupied the mainstay of their intellectual lives. Moreover, humor, particularly of the black or mordant variety, is a hallmark of the trio’s entire oeuvre.

Ciało jako przedmiot praktyk ascetycznych w sztuce współczesnej (Opałka, Dudek-Durer, Orlan)

Author(s): Łukasz Białkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXIII/2011

I’d like to consider the activities of three artists – Roman Opałka, Andrzej Dudek-D¨urer and Orlan – as a contemporary form of asceticism. If we envisage a homeostatic relation between body and mind to be a “normal state”, the asceticism tends to undermine it. In the perspective of asceticism body is a ballast which should undergo practices of depreciation. Although these practices are justified in religious contexts, in a context of the art and secularized culture they seem to be an aberration. I’d like to outline motivations of Opałka, Dudek-D¨urer and Orlan and relations between body and mind which their art evokes. Do they really act at the edge of pathology or do they rather express – may be extremely – the condition of contemporary human being and his or her body?

O marginaliach (i nie tylko) Tadeusza Różewicza

Author(s): Janusz Degler / Language(s): Polish Issue: 21/2014

Tadeusz Różewicz moved from Gliwice to Wrocław in 1968. He lived near South Park for many years and he regularly met there with the author of this article. They talked about many different things and current events, and especially about Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, i.e. more specifically about his service in the tsarist army, the battle that took place near the Stokhid in June 1916 in which he was severely wounded as well as about the causes of his suicide in September 1939. In 2003 Różewicz moved to a house on Promień Street, which is located in a remote area of the city. When he was moving to the new place he came across Witkacy’s 1919 treatise titled Nowe formy w malarstwie i wynikające stad nieporozumienia [New Forms in Painting and the Misunderstandings Arising Therefrom], which he had bought in October 1945 at a street stall in Warsaw. After a careful reading of the treatise (as evidenced by numerous underlines in the text), he decided to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. The quotes that are presented in the article show that Różewicz paid particular attention to Witkacy’s main philosophical concepts (“metaphysical anxiety”) and statements about the end of metaphysics in the 20th century. Many notes and annotations in the margins, some of which are cited in the present article, are evidence of Witkacy’s critical reading of Leon Chwistek’s “Wielość rzeczywistości w sztuce” i inne szkice literackie [The Multiplicity of Realities in Art and Other Literary Sketches]. In 1975 Anna Micińska published, based on a manuscript that had been discovered, the sociocultural study Niemyte dusze [Unwashed Souls] which Witkacy wrote in 1936 but which he did not manage to publish. Różewicz regarded this study as one of Witkacy’s most interesting works because it showed a whole different side of the artist – a citizen who was concerned about the condition of Polish society and the Polish state.

Adaptacja jako przekład intersemiotyczny

Author(s): Marek Hendrykowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 20/2013

Film adaptation is carried out by means of montage. This process is based on adjusting the obtained material and piecing together fragments which will be used once again and which an adapter has taken from the original work. It is montage, i.e. a selection and combination of moving pictures, which constitutes a new textual whole which is equivalent to the prototype, that forms a semiotic basis for and the essence of the adaptation process. The term “translation” can only be used in reference to film adaptation when we do not deal with full identicalness, but rather with functional similarity which does not allow one to fully equate a linguistic translation with screen adaptation.
