Wybuch wyobraźni. Poezja Anny Świrszczyńskiej wobec reprodukcji życia społecznego

Author(s): Katarzyna Szopa / Language(s): Polish

The monograph is devoted to the question of social reproduction in the poetry of Anna Świrszczyńska. In my interpretation, her feminist worldview is presented as an emanation of the era, which was structured by a complex dynamics of alterations and political tensions, both on a local and global level. The reading of Świrszczyńska’s oeuvre from the perspective of social reproduction allows me to unveil these tensions and to elicit from her work an imaginative project of the world, devoid of any harm or suffering, and based on a radical need for expansion of solidarity with all marginalized groups. Her writings are a testimony to the presence and development of the second-wave emancipatory project in the Polish People's Republic and they inspire us to a renewed reflection on the literary heritage of that period.

Author(s): Zbyněk Fišer,Dagmar Dvořáková,Jitka Cholastová,Petr Kuběnský,Pavla Kopečná,Zuzana Šalamounová / Language(s): Czech

This monograph deals with the use of creative writing in literary education. It shows how exercises aimed at creating texts can be incorporated into school practice and explains why creative writing is effective as a teaching method. The authors of the monograph understand creative writing as a mental tool of cognition, as a medium of creative thinking. The methods of creative writing lead to the development of students’ perception, experiencing and thinking, and also to the development of creative communication in classrooms. At the same time, creative writing is enjoyable and (although this is not the main goal) develops the literary talent of writers. Besides the theoretical background, this book also presents individual projects (lessons devoted to a particular topic) which might be utilized not only in school education (secondary or tertiary) but also as a part of free-time activities.

Author(s): Leszek Małczak / Language(s): Polish

The second part of a new publishing series titled "Introduction to Croatian Literature and its Polish Reception" is devoted to the reception of Croatian literature and culture in Poland in 1970-2010. It is a continuation of "Introduction to Contemporary Croatian Literature (1970-2010)", the first part of the series, written by Krešimir Bagić and translated by Leszek Małczak. This time the view of literary works, as the title reveals, is presented from the Polish perspective. This is a one-of-a-kind study that reveals two worlds of translated literature before and after 1989 that are governed by completely different rules. The author considers the problems of the reception of Croatian literature in Poland in the broad context of translations from other languages with the demonstration of the mechanisms operating at the time in the sphere of interliterary relations. In a review of the publication, Professor Krystyna Pieniążek-Marković notes, among other things, that the book is an absorbing story about Polish cultural and political realities, cultural policy (or lack thereof). The entire period under study is divided into four parts, which are successive decades: the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The book includes a bibliography of translations, biographies of Croatian writers and information on the translators. An important element of the publication is its graphic design, which through the visual aspect enriches the content and creates a more complete picture of the reception of Croatian literature in Poland.

Neusachliche Verhaltenslehren in der Prager deutschen Literatur

Author(s): Adéla Grimes / Language(s): German

This publication deals with the new-objective way of writing and new-objective cool conduct and its occurrence in Prague-German literature. Three representative novels, Otto Roeld’s Malenski auf der Tour, Hans Natonek’s Kinder einer Stadt, and Paul Kornfeld’s Blanche oder Das Atelier im Garten, were chosen to demonstrate the appearance of New Objectivity within the ‘circle’ of Prague-German authors. New-objective features analysed in these works prove the hitherto prevalent marginalization of New Objectivity within German-written literature in Prague to be unjustified. The biography of the authors included in this publication points out their most important stages in life, as well as their participation in the cultural space of Bohemia and the Weimar Republic.

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.

KNJIŽEVNA REPUBLIKA JUGOSLAVIJA OD 1989. DO 2022.

Author(s): Boris Postnikov / Language(s): Croatian

The book examines the analytical construction of the post-Yugoslav literary field, understanding it as a structured socio-literary space that provides a framework for interpreting the literature of ex-Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav authors beyond the perspective of national literature as the dominant literary-historical paradigm. In this regard, it relies on the reconstruction of various conceptions of a common Yugoslav literature in the so-called First and Second Yugoslavia, as well as on insights from the far-reaching shift from the study of national to the study of world literature at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.Its methodological foundation is found in Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of literature, which is first subjected to critical analysis. The post-Yugoslav literary field is then conceptualized in relation to its lines of continuity and points of discontinuity with the Yugoslav literary field, exploring the rearticulation of autonomous authorial positioning during the transition from socialism to capitalism.Following Svetozar Petrović’s idea of the creative and individual construction of a literary-historical vision and combining it with Bourdieu’s concept of the state of the field as the fundamental historiographical-periodization mechanism, The Literary Republic of Yugoslavia proposes a decadal division of post-Yugoslav literature into three periods: the 1990s, the 2000s, and the 2010s, each marked by its own specific logics. Within this developed framework, literary texts and socio-literary phenomena are then approached beyond the national perspective and within a broader social context.
