Author(s): Lucyna Sadzikowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 26/2017

“The letters from under the mulberry” and „The letters from my Rome” by Gustaw Morcinek constitute a kind of record of the writer’s life experiences.

Author(s): Bernadeta Niesporek-Szamburska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 26/2017

The study presents, with the methodology of the linguistic image of the world, a fantastic bird, the hero of the story entitled „Dzień dobry, Eugeniuszu” („Good morning, Eugeniusz”) by Agnieszka Osiecka.

European Philosophy and Its Negative Impact on the Treatment of Animals

Author(s): Dorota Probucka / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

In the article, I analyse Aristotle's, Descartes’s and John Rawls's views on the the moral status of non-human beings, and show the negative influence of the views on shaping the human-animal relationship in European culture. The purpose of my reasoning is to demonstrate that in each of these positions there is a problem that boils down to the selection of subjective criteria in the qualitative distinction between the moral status of people and of other animals, and the use of the premises that will prove the previously established deduction. What is common for the position of these three philosophers is the conclusion, that is the conviction that there are insufficient grounds for equal treatment of humans and non-human beings in the sphere of moral life.

Author(s): Cumhur Okay Özgör / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 47/2018

In the interactions of philosophy, literature and cinema, image of evil has come from the subjects that have been aesthetized in the eternal bones. One of the most important typologies of the popular culture, the evil characters / prototypes / anti-heroes are remarkable with their modern interpretations. From the Renaissance to the Dark Romanticism to the Symbolism to the Surrealism, The Devil and witch figures have been moved as human beings to the cinema’s places over time as the canvas of master painters like Bosch, Goya. Similarly Milton; within the terrestrial hells created by authors such as Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Sartre, the painful characters made possible the formation of fictional characters in the art of cinema. Metaphysical evil is abandoned under the influence of gothic literature and black literature, and bad characters are placed in the center of movies in the light of the philosophy. Historical and aesthetic journeys of ideas on the problem of evil of thinkers like Platonis, Augistinus, Hegel, Kant and Nietzsche will become one of the most popular topics of our time. XIX.th In the century and after, moral evil comes into being in the body of modern man. XX.th in century After the 19th century, sociopaths, serial killers, film adaptations were made, XXI. n the century, video games “villain” from television series became the most popular investments by studios. The history, sociological and psychological facts underlying the leading “bad” characters in this article are examined.

Raczyński w Portugalii. Spuścizna „zderzenia kultur”

Author(s): Ewa Łukaszyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The article presents Atanazy Raczyński’s research on Portuguese art against the modernization and Europeanisation processes in Portugal in the 19th century. A specific view of Portuguese artistic heritage and openly expressed critical opinions of the Polish scholar made him a controversial figure, which paradoxically contributed to the importance and resonance of his work. Discouraged by the conflict, Raczyński did not complete his final synthesis. Nevertheless his letters to the Art Society in Berlin, as well as a dictionary of the artists, initiated history of art (regarded as a scientific discipline) in Portugal.

Apetyt na Bragę. O intertekstualnym dialogu między Adolfem Pawińskim a Oswaldem Crawfurdem i o dziewiętnastowiecznym podróżowaniu

Author(s): Magdalena Bąk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The aim of the article is to compare the two different modes of regarding and describing Braga observed in Adolf Pawiński’s and Oswald Crawfurd’s works on Portugal. The Polish description is based on visual perception, while in a work by the English author other senses (hearing, taste and smell) are equally important. Therefore it might be assumed that Pawiński represents a more traditional style of travelling, while Crawfurd behaves in a way typical for modern tourists.

Author(s): Teresa Fernandes Swiatkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The present study falls within the scope of research dedicated to external history of literary translation and applies the framework designed by Gideon Toury (1995/2012), which has a historical, empirical, descriptive and explanatory character. It reconstructs preliminary norms in direct Polish-European Portuguese literary translation in the period between 1985 and 2010, by investigating (1) the nature of translation policy in Portugal concerning Polish literature, and (2) the reasons for choosing a direct translation of Polish literature into European Portuguese. Following the latest trends, special attention is given to the translators’ biography since translators are bridge-builders between cultures.

Götz Aly und Hans-Ulrich Wehler über Kapitalismus, Antisemitismus und Sozialpolitik

Author(s): Karsten Dahlmanns / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2018

Götz Aly’s book „Europa gegen die Juden 1880–1945” (Europe against the Jews 1880–1945) is a sequel to his earlier published treatise „Warum die Deutschen? Warum die Juden? Gleichheit, Neid und Rassenhass” („Why the Germans? Why the Jews? Equality, Envy, and Racial Hatred”). Both volumes explore the impact of envy on policies of ‘social’ justice and national homogeneity in the interwar period, thereby pointing out the negative aspects of social engineering. As its predecessor, „Europa gegen die Juden” has been, therefore, criticized by commentators of a more interventionist outlook. One of Aly’s most prominent – and sternest – critics is the historian Hans-Ulrich Wehler. This essay presents a critical assessment of Aly’s argument, the replies of his critics, and Wehler’s views on the market economy, interventionism and ‘social’ justice.
