“Who Would Be a Prophet”: Prophetic Aspects of Czesław Miłosz’s Poetry

Author(s): Anna Szczepan-Wojnarska / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2018

This paper examines prophetic aspects and perspectives of poetry written by Czesław Miłosz – Polish poet of 20th century, a Nobel Prize winner. Although the poet denies readiness to become a religious figure, he serves as a prophet when he overcomes the inexpressibility of the indefinable features of religious experience. The paper presents an analysis of selected poems questioning the role of a poet and a poem in the light of the dynamic relation between the prophet and prophecy. Miłosz refuses to be God’s spokesmen but the historical context he lives in overshadows his poems and forces them to play a significant role in a broad context.

“ЗАПАДНИ БАЛКАН” – ПОЛИТИЧКИ КОНТЕКСТ И МЕДИЈСКА УПОТРЕБА

Author(s): Predrag Svilar / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2010

By accessing the content analysis of media archives, available both on the Internet presentations of the most significant and most influential media, press agencies, web search engines, and official public institutions, international government and non-government organizations, we will make an attempt to point to political conditioning, appearances and uses, as well as political etymology of the term Western Balkans. The attention will also be called to the fact that the term has its origin in Anglo-Saxon political and historiographical tradition, through the examples of its use, as well as to the similarities of political relations which bring to its applicability. By analyzing the content of media inscriptions, reports, documents, official announcements, authorial reviews and analyses, it came to a conclusion that Western Balkans occurs as a regional reference in particular historical and political circumstances and that geographical frames it is being used within, could be located outside the time frames and there are specified the particularities of its use.

„Czemu Cię nie ma na odległość ręki”. Listy – zdarzenia literackie Adama Ziemianina

Author(s): Dorota Wojda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2018

The article deals with Adam Ziemianin’s epistolary poetry (bringing both the subject of letters and imitating their formal qualities), which is discussed as a collection of literary events. Such an interpretation draws attention to the performativity of this writing, that is, its causative function, which results in the actualization of the text through the reader’s personal experience. Therefore, the interpretation here takes into account not only Ziemianin’s poems, but also their popularity as songs performed by the group Stare Dobre Małżeństwo. The most important conclusion presented in this paper focuses on the paradoxes of epistolary poetry: the evocation of both presence and absence, synchrony and asynchrony, combining private with public, as well as merging the literary dimension with real existence. Most of these paradoxes are motivated by the desire to rescue love and overcome death, as indicated by the symbolism of the letter and the well – serving as life-giving mediators.

„Człowiek w mocy Ducha Świętego”. Teologiczne założenia pneumatologicznej antropologii Nikosa Angelosa Nissiotisa

Author(s): Zygfryd Glaeser / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2018

The presented study is a presentation of the basic assumptions of the pneumatological anthropology of one of the most outstanding Greek Orthodox theologians of the XX century, Nikos Angelos Nissiotis. His anthropology is christologically and pneumatologically oriented. Nissiotis proposes that the paradigm of interpreting the science of the creation of man should make the mystery of the incarnation. He is convinced, that looking at the activities of the Trinity through an incarnation prism, the problem of the beginning, being and destiny of man acquires a truly christocentric character. At the same time, he emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in realizing the saving mission of Christ. He points out that the highest goal of man’s transformation is to be with Christ. Deification in its essence is a process of christification, which means being with Christ and being carried by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes, that man must be defined in relation to his fulfilment which he achieves in Christ and in relation to the Holy Spirit.

„Dobra śmierć” na tle regulacji prawnych w Polsce

Author(s): Anna Ewa Chodorowska,Joanna Grabowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 42/2018

The “right to life” of every human being, understood as independent of the will of the legislator, natural law, does not find in the current legal system a contrario, the “right to die”. In Polish law, not all forms of euthanasia are punishable. First of all, euthanasia is forbidden, i.e. killing a second person under the influence of compassion caused by a severe and incurable disease and related suffering, after the thought of art. 150 of the Act of 6 June 1997, the Penal Code. This is a privileged type of murder, i.e. threatened by a more lenient criminal sanction than an ‘ordinary’ murder. For the murder of euthanasia from 3 months to 5 years of imprisonment, however, there is the possibility of extraordinary mitigation of punishment, and even waiving its imposition.

„ISTORIJA 20. VEKA” 1983-1992 - ANALIZA SADRŽAJA

Author(s): Svetlana Popović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2000

The journal "History of the 20th Century" has been published since 1983, containing the works of many Yugoslav and foreign historians, authors and thinkers from other fields of science. The journal presents original works of science, but also other forms of professional writings. The central subject matter the journal deals with is Yugoslav history from 1918 to the 90-ties. A few of the essays published have referred to general history and international relations. The works published from 1983 to 1992 primarily deal with the period from 1918 to 1953. In the first years of publication the journal mostly referred to themes regarding the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its operation between the two world wars. Later this topic gave way to works dealing with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Works concerning World War Two are presented in every edition, particularly those dealing with the various aspects of the War of National Liberation and the revolution. Where topics concerning the period immediately following World War Two are concerned, most essays deal with the socialist period of Yugoslavia, especially the first ten years. The majority of the essays deal with political, diplomatic, and military history. A number of important historical subjects were never treated in the "History of the 20th Century", while others were first mentioned only seven or eight years after the beginning of the journal's publication. Ever since its first edition was published the "History of the 20th Century" has attracted the attention of the professional public, provoking interest, reactions, and discussion.

„KŁIR” I OBRAZ SŁABY W FILMIE HAIR MARKA PIWOWSKIEGO

Author(s): Justyna Jaworska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 32/2019

The text is an analysis of Marek Piwowski‟s documentary film Hair (1971). Full of comical failures, the report from an international hairdressing contest has become a pretext for the director to expose disrupted communication between the authorities and society. The ironic tone and the use of the “week image” allowed him to queer sabotage of the official message. The author uses a polonised term “kłir” to distinguish the style of Piwowski from the camp aesthetics and to fix the document not only in the paradigm of “art of failure”, but also in the social context of PRL.

„Maria Magdalena powiedziała do niego po hebrajsku: «rabbuni»” (J 20,16). „Rabbuni” i inne aramejskie określenia odnoszące się do Boga/Chrystusa w greckim tekście Nowego Testamentu

Author(s): Piotr Ostański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

Everyone who studies the New Testament Bible must take into account its Aramaic background that results from several factors: – the Aramaic language was very popular in Roman Palestine during the first century A.D.; – the Aramaic was Jesus’ mother tongue; – Jesus’ teaching was being recorded in Aramaic and then it circulated among the people; – the oldest Church consisted of Aramaic speaking communities.

„No bo tym się żyło”. Podział gminy Dobrzeń Wielki w narracjach jej mieszkańców

Author(s): Monika Baer / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

In this paper I analyze the dynamics of narratives related to a planned takeover of a couple of villages of the Dobrzeń Wielki commune together with the Opole Power Station by the city of Opole (PL). In this context I focus on politics and ethics of emotions, feelings and affects which marked the discursive space and brought varied types of affective togetherness in the field of “political.” Because discursive practices of commune’s inhabitants were shaped by anticipations of uncertain future, they evoked the “ethics of probability” and the “ethics of possibility.” While the former embodied fears connected to the planned division, the latter expressed hope for “good life.” They both inspired various forms of social protest. However, because concepts of “good life” usually relate to discernable ends and strategies, changing circumstances result in different politics and ethics of emotions, feelings and affects.

„Rózga i karcenie udziela mądrości…”. O społecznym micie przydatności bicia w wychowaniu

Author(s): Ewa Jarosz,Cezary Kurkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (33)/2016

The paper presents the problem of violence in upbringing from a historical and contemporary perspective. The reflection is focused on the situation in Poland – both in the past and today. A lot of historical resources indicate that violence in upbringing was a common reality for children in Poland from the Middle Ages and during the following centuries. Today in Poland violence in upbringing is banned in our law and although violent behaviors towards children are less popular and not as severe as in the past, still as a way of disciplining child violence is in some forms socially accepted. The paper presents the results of the survey carried out in 2015 which is part of the monitoring which has been conducted by the Ombudsman for Children since 2011.

„Sollten unsere Vorfahren Menschen gewesen sein wie diese?“ Versuch einer postkolonialen Lektüre von Eberhard Hilschers Darwin-Erzählung

Author(s): Nina Nowara-Matusik / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2019

The following paper presents a postcolonial reading (combined with the ideology-critical approach) of the little-known story about Darwin by the East German writer Eberhard Hilscher. The analysis focuses on the perception of the foreign and the own by the figures of the story and it also refers to the overlapping of the terms race and class. The considerations lead to the conclusion that in the story the foreign is constructed preferably with the help of the opposition culture (the own) and nature (the foreign), and that hierarchical and dichotomous thinking characterizes also Darwin, even if in his case one can see certain ambivalences.

„Te małe Ukraińce”. O traumie wysiedlenia, stygmatyzacji i jej konsekwencjach w relacjach potomków Ukraińców wysiedlonych w ramach akcji „Wisła”

Author(s): Olga Solarz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

The presented excerpt of the study is an outline of the problem of trauma of Ukrainians displaced as part of the Operation Vistula in 1947 and effect it had on the next generations (children and grandchildren). The stigmatization and repressive actions that affected this community both from the state apparatus and local communities have taken their toll and forced them to adopt a range of protective measures. One of them was assimilation, another mimicry. Ukrainians who wanted to preserve their own national, religious and cultural identity often chose the “way of success”. They dealt with sense of inferiority, sense of threat, injustice and regret with the need to achieve higher social positions and wealth that gave comfort in an uncertain times. Education, wealth, and social position were meant to help overcome fear, strengthen self-esteem and let them feel equal to Poles. In families who chose the silence strategy, the way to achieve safety was to forget.

„Trudne” wiersze. Wokół lingwistycznej poezji kobiet

Author(s): Joanna Grądziel-Wójcik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2018

The article addresses the problem of absence of women’s poetry in the linguistic current of 20th-century Polish poetry. It analyses its causes, amongst which the pivotal role is played by the stereotypical vision of women’s poetry, deeply ingrained in general awareness. The vision in question does not admit “difficult” forms and thus places women’s poetic work outside the avant-garde tendencies, linguistic experiment and metareflection. The authoress calls for inclusion of the omitted or forgotten poetesses who play with language in their poems and she articulates the need to redefine our understanding of linguistic poetry.

„Z kronik współczesnej mistyki” – Adam Zagajewski i Nowa Fala (opowieść postsekularna)

Author(s): Piotr Bogalecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

The subject of the present analysis are Adam Zagajewski’s early works, written in the 1970s: the books of poems Komunikat, Sklepy mięsne and List, the novel Ciepło, zimno, the short story Boże Ciało, the critical literary texts, and finally, a little known essay W kilku punktach, published under the pen name Jan Garlicz. An attempt was made at the postsecular interpretation of these texts with particular emphasis on the analysis of the different from the author’s later works attitude toward language and the Christian symbolism. In the offered rendition a significant topic and the irreducible context turns out to be the question of the possibility of non-religious, creative use of the Christian heritage by the secularized members of the Polish People’s Republic society.

„Zobaczyć świat w ziarenku piasku”. Przyczynek do refleksji nad „literaturą a religią” z perspektywy pogranicznej

Author(s): Jean Ward / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

This consideration of some approaches to the relationship between literature and religion in what Charles Taylor termed “a secular age” is written from a Polish-English “border perspective.” It takes account especially of the work of Nicholas Boyle, Michael Edwards, David Jasper and Kevin Hart; but its inspiration derives from the opening line of William Blake’s poem Auguries of Innocence, both in the original and in the Polish translation by Zygmunt Kubiak. The analysis of this one line suggests some elements of a possible approach to “literature and religion,” especially but not only in a “secular age.” The combination of the original and the translated versions implies an ideal: to appreciate the mystery of every “grain of sand” as a separate, individual world (“a world”) and at the same time to relate that particular wealth to the whole, discovering the world (“świat”) in that grain of sand. This is clearly an impossible ideal, but one that is worth pursuing in the humble spirit also implied by the poem’s opening quatrain.
