Bilder trotz allem? – Medialität und Erinnerung in Herta Müllers Text-Bild-Collagen

Author(s): Beate Sommerfeld / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

The article analyses the collages of Herta Müller as an appropriate means of articulating traumatic experiences made under the regime of rumanian dictator Ceausescu. The own liminal position and the contingency of west-german print-media offer a space for poetological reflections and experiments. Müller develops a strategy of playfulness that allows to free traumatic experiences and initiates a process of healing memory. The collages also try to give an answer to the question, to what extent the terror experienced in the Past can be articulated across aesthetic forms.

Erinnerungs- und Identitätsverlust in Große Szene am Fluss (1999) und Othoon (2002) von Tankred Dorst

Author(s): Katarzyna Michalak / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

In his works, Tankred Dorst deals with the problems and weaknesses of the modern society. One of them is the inability to remember, which is directly connected with the loss of identity. One might refer to it as the subjective and collective culture of memory. It is clearly visible in both his texts: the protagonists cannot recognise relations and contexts in society because they have no memories. They are not able to retain elements of the past in their consciousness. Thus their lives are pointless, devoid of a fundamental pillar: memory.

Wessen Jenseits? Facetten des katholischen Diskurses im deutschsprachigen Roman der Gegenwart

Author(s): Marek Jakubów / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

Catholic references appearing in recent German-language literature,including Martin Mosebach’s and Martin Walser’s novels, are connectedwith traditional structures, which originated in previous epochs. At thebeginning of the 21st century, in a new confessional, aesthetic, and literarycontext, having assumed new forms, these structures are nowreturning. In the case of Mosebach, they should be considered as newvariants of a traditional, organic worldview, while in the case of Walser,they should be viewed as an elaboration of an early Romantic concept,which presupposes questioning of that traditional worldview.

Author(s): Natalia Fuhry / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

In the middle of the 19th century, the city of Łódź has gone through enormous changes caused by the booming textile industry. Within a few decades the minor place became one of the most important cities in Poland, which was characterized by a special cultural diversity: amongst others, Poles, Germans and Jews participated in the unprecedented rise of Łódź. The city became a synonym for the prospect of making money and achieving prosperity, which for most people did not come true. This chapter of Łódź’s history is shown in Władysław Stanisław Reymont‘s novel as well as in Andrzej Wajda’s literary film.

Zaklęte źródło wspomnień – sztetl jako uniwersalna przestrzeń żydowskiej biografii w poezji Stefana Pomera i malarstwie Adama Muszki

Author(s): Aleksandra Bednarowska / Language(s): Polish,German Publication Year: 0

Shtetl, a mosaic of cultures, languages and religions, was presented by Polish-Jewish artists of the interwar period as a juxtaposition of two worlds: the idyllic world of childhood and the ugly, miserable place of Jewish existence in Eastern Europe. After the Holocaust the portrayal of shtetl became the symbol of the lost world of European Jewry. This essay focusses on two Polish-Jewish artists: a poet Stefan Pomer, who came from a Podolian shtetl and became victim of the Holocaust and an artist Adam Muszka, a Holocaust survivor, who devoted his life to painting a shtetl of his childhood Piotrków Trybunalski, and examines how the memory of shtetl is represented in their works.

In the analyses she focused on presenting the conditions and aims of the foreign language teaching in the context of interwar education in Poland, at the same time showing the cultural content of foreign language teaching of the given period.

On limitless diversity of functional types of utterance

Author(s): Andrzej Bogusławski / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish Publication Year: 0

The author adopts the concept of “functional type of utterance” where the relevant set is based on features other than coincidental co-occurrence of utterances (as, e.g., used by someone at a certain time) or their including a specified expression (specified expressions). The concept subsumes traditional kinds of utterance such as declaratives vs. hypothetical statements, questions, promises, etc., but also, e.g., utterances where vocatives addressed to the recipient(s) are used with varying frequency (which gives rise to the corresponding subtypes of utterance). It is claimed that the existence of a closed and at the same time objectively exhaustive list of functional types of utterance depends on two alternative necessary conditions which are not and will never be satisfied. One of the conditions has a formal or mathematical character. It amounts to the presence of some contradiction in the conjunction of the following constituents: (i) the claim of non-existence of such an exhaustive objective list of types, (ii) any element of knowledge. The other necessary condition belongs to the domain of nomological/natural sciences. It would consist in our knowledge of organisms and their factual (albeit contingent) constraint which necessitates production of a finite number of functional types of utterance, on the pattern of what is proper to apprehension of sounds by creatures belonging to different species, e.g., humans or bats (as limited to a certain, varying, frequency of oscillation in the air environment). The author submits a formalized schema of the reasoning where a hierarchy of functional types and subtypes of different degrees is assumed.

The stylistic construction of verbal imagery in poetry: shooting distance and resolution in Wilfred Owen, Marianne Moore and Philip Larkin

Author(s): Davide Castiglione / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish Publication Year: 0

The notion of imagery is central to literary criticism as it underpins some of the most palpable experiences we have when reading fictional literary texts, prose and verse alike. Yet, its practical use is fraught with impressionism as the verbal image appears based on a relativist ontology that varies with readerly differences, both intrinsic and strategic (e.g. one may have a more visual or a more auditory memory, or give emphasis to more abstract, propositional aspects of a text). As a consequence of this, the verbal image also appears substantially independent from linguistic forms, which makes it problematic for stylistic analysis. This paper addresses and undermines the latter assumption and, in doing so, sets out the basis for a stylistic model of verbal imagery. My approach is twofold: on the one hand, I identify a “nuclear” image on the basis of semantic and syntactic criteria – this I call the image-frame as opposed to more extensive realizations (i.e. image-complexes) or dynamic ones (i.e. image-scenes); on the other, I attempt to map semantico-grammatical variables onto perceptual eff ects, focusing on shooting distance and image resolution. In doing so, I draw inspiration from the complementary attempt of Kress and van Leeuwen, who in “Reading Images: the Grammar of Visual Design” (2006 (1996)) propose an array of correspondences between visual strategies and grammatical structures. All the verbal images presented and discussed in this article come from Wilfred Owen, Marianne Moore and Philip Larkin: three poets who have effectively exploited the potential of realist mimesis (i.e. a faithful reproduction of external reality) within a twentieth century aesthetics.

The grounding function of tense/aspect morphology in lyric poetry: Analysis of Osip Mandelstam’s poems “The wind brought us solace…” and “This night, no lies...”

Author(s): Józefina Piątkowska-Brzezińska / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish Publication Year: 0

Over the last decades, serious research has been done on the correlation between tense and aspect choice and the level of information saliency in narrative discourse (Chvany1985; Ehrlich 1990; Fleischman 1990; Givón 1987; Hopper and Thomspon 1980). The novelty of our approach lies in the application of ideas developed within narrative analysis to information grounding in lyric poetry. The aim of this article is to show how tense-aspect morphology could be used for discourse-pragmatic purpose of structuring the lyric text. In the poems discussed, switching from the PFV past to the IPFV present is essential for shifting between foreground and background information.

Перформативная стратегия баллады в лирике Тютчева

Author(s): Walerij Tiupa / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper proposes an invariant approach to the study of lyrical genres. Lyrical poem is viewed as a principally performative speech act. Behind the variety of lyrical discourses, a historically stable performative strategy is uncovered. In the case of the genre of ballad, for which narrativity is an optional element – if widely popular in the poetry of Romanticism – such a basic strategy is that of anxiety. This contention is supported by analysis of Tyutchev’s early anarrative ballads. In such poems the lyrical subject finds himself in the situation of “double existence”, at the border between two worlds: the diurnal one and the nocturnal one, the joyful one and the terrific one, the live one and the dead one. Still, what we face here is not a traditional romantic double-worldedness, but a kind of a counterpoint, a “strained” meta-unity. The conscience of the ballad-type lyrical subject is a catastrophic conscience of someone to be sacrificed. In Tyutchev’s anarrative ballads such a conscience is not masked by a fantastic plot, but presented in its pure form.
