The First among Sinners. A Lutheran Pastor and Universal Priesthood Doctrine in Selected Works of the Scandinavian Cinema

Pierwszy pomiędzy grzesznikami. Pastor luterański a zasada powszechnego kapłaństwa w wybranych filmach skandynawskich

Author(s): Radosław Łazarz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 9/2015

Keywords: scandinavian cinema; pastor; universal priesthood; Lone Scherfig; Anders Thomas Jensen; Erik Poppe

The aim of the article is to look closely at the character of a pastor in selected works of the Scandinavian cinematography. The analysis covers two Danish films: Italiensk for begyndere (English title: Italian for Beginners) by Lone Scherfig and Adams Æbler (English title: Adam’s Apples) by Anders Thomas Jensen as well as one Norwegian film – De Usynlige (English title: Troubled Water) by Erik Poppe. All films presented were made after 2000, their actions take place in contemporary times and presume that the current social trends show continuous departure of faithful people from the Church. How is the tendency reflected in the way a pastor is presented in the films? Intuitively one may guess that the pastor will be an outsider. However, in the films discussed in this article most characters are outsiders. Their faults and their failures remind us of the fundamental truth of the Lutheran anthropology and theology: man is a sinner. Also: no-one is alone in being a sinner. Being a pastor does not only involve a service within the Church, but first of all the power to forgive other people their sins. This means that the films presented in the article do not just tell stories about pastors, but – more significantly – they explore the Lutheran doctrine of universal priesthood. Each human is a sinner. Each Christian should be a pastor.

Polish Perspective on Mircea Eliade’s Scientific Work in Poland: Andrzej Bronk

O perspectivă poloneză asupra operei ştiințifice a lui Mircea Eliade în Polonia: Andrzej Bronk

Author(s): Magdalena Filary / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2 (26)/2017

Keywords: phenomenology; profane; sacred; exegesis; Bronk

The methodology of religion science has been the subject of several publications in Poland, and Andrzej Bronk had the greatest contribution to completing knowledge on its methodology and systematization of religion science. In the works of the Polish philosopher, Eliade is finally rehabilitated after years of reticence and deformation, and many aspects of his work now find the systematic and contextual description. Bronk deals with Eliade's religion science methodology in his article published as a preface to the Polish translation of Eliade's book History of Religious Beliefs and Ideas, volume 1, which appeared in Warsaw in 1988, titled Human - History - Sacred - Religion. For designating Eliade’s methodology, A. Bronk uses the term ‘historical phenomenology of religion’. Under other circumstances, he affirms that Eliade preferred to be recognised as historian, and not as phenomenologist of religions.

Myth, Metaphor and Motif. Max Pechstein’s Bridges

Mit, metafora, motyw. Mosty Maksa Pechsteina

Author(s): Elżbieta Kal / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2012

In general, the text is the first attempt in Polish literature to analyse the relationships between the name Die Brücke, describing the aim and ideas of the artistic group, established in Dresden in 1905, and their implementation. The paper mainly focuses on works by Max Pechstein, who remained connected with the group of German expressionists between 1906 and 1912. The name was coined as a multilayer declaration. It implied introducing art into the areas of modernity, mediation between tradition and the present, search in the origins of creativity, etc. As the draft proves, Pechstein was the leader in implementing the bridging ideas, in at least three aspects considered here: myth, metaphor and motif. Texts by F. Nietzsche and J. Derrida’s theory of metaphor are important for the purpose of interpretation. Also, the author makes a number of suggestions of perceiving the contents of contemporary graphics including the bridge motif as well as attempts to specify the dating of one of the Pechstein’s paintings.

Presidency in the Council of the European Union after the Lisbon Treaty - Institutional Hybrid at the Beginning of the New Evolutionary Path

Prezydencja w Radzie Unii Europejskiej po Traktacie Lizbońskim - hybryda instytucjonalna na początku nowej drogi ewolucji

Author(s): Rafał Riedel,Magdalena Góra / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2011

Keywords: Presidency; leadership; multilevel governance; European Union;

Main aim of the article is to analyse the reform of the leadership in the Council of the EU and European Council undertaken in the Lisbon Treaty. The main argument is that the reform initially oriented toward strengthening and consolidation of the leadership in the Council in the end pertains to the diffusion of the leadership. Moreover due to the lack of precise provisions the reformed treaty leaves broad margin for interpretation of the scope and competencies of the rotating presidency of member states as well as permanent posts of President of the European Council and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The authors go beyond the legal analysis of the Treaty’s provisions and focus on functioning of the reformed institutions and map potential institutional conflicts and overlapping competencies.

“I was guided by some ideals…” The strategies and traps of autocreation in Jan Wantuła’s memoirs and letters

„Przyświecały mi pewne ideały…” Autokreacyjne strategie i pułapki we wspomnieniach i korespondencji Jana Wantuły

Author(s): Katarzyna Szkaradnik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: Jan Wantuła; self-portrait; autocreation; memoir-specific; conventionality; rhetoric

This article’s aim is to present the ways of creating the author’s image in memoirs and letters by Jan Wantuła (1877–1953) – a peasant and steel worker from Ustroń, self-taught person, expert on the Cieszyn Silesia’s history, old prints and Protestantism, writer, publicist and a famous bibliophile. In the sketch the author analyzes the patterns Wantuła employs while creating his self-portrait, as well as central elements of that portrait and its purport. Not only typical leitmotifs from peasant memoirs are indicated, but also complex endeavors, which the booklover uses. The principal question here is whether this social and national campaigner’s portrait has not been influenced by the means of expression it has been written in. The authoress recognizes the value of rhetoric as cultural space of agreement, but she also portrays how in Wantuła’s texts patterns are broken by that what is local, specific, physical and temporary.

Environmental Risk Management and Its Importance for the Stability of the Banking Sector

Zarządzanie ryzykiem środowiskowym i jego znaczenie dla stabilności sektora bankowego

Author(s): Magdalena Zioło / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1 (66)/2017

Keywords: environmental risk; banking; management

The aim of the study is to identify the nature and importance of environmental risk to the stability and safety of the banking sector and to demonstrate the interdependence between these categories. The tools of environmental risk management have been identified and assessed. Also, the ways of mitigating this risk in the sector have been pointed out. Special attention has been paid to the imperfection of regulations on environmental risks and the consequences of this phenomenon for the stability of banks. Finally, the need for changes in this field has been stressed. The article uses the bibliographical analysis to diagnose the research gap in the existing literature and demonstrates that the inclusion of environmental risk in the regulations, suggestions, recommendations, and banking procedures, in particular in the creditworthiness assessment process, results in minimizing environmental risks in banking and impacts banks’ financial results.

Transition in the Evolving Left-Liberal Narrative. The Case of Journalism of Grzegorz Sroczyński and Rafał Woś

Transformacja w zmieniającej się narracji liberalno-lewicowej. Przykład publicystyki Grzegorza Sroczyńskiego i Rafała Wosia

Author(s): Magdalena Nowicka-Franczak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2018

Keywords: public debate; liberalism; narrative; systemic transformation;

The paper discusses changes of the liberal discourse in the context of current political divisions in Poland. The left-liberal narrative (understood as a structure of discourse and taking form of an evaluative, causal and historically situated description of events and their participants) on systemic transformation, its ideological sources and social outcomes is here the main subject of research. The analysis is focused on the journalism of two leading left-liberal authors: Grzegorz Sroczyński and Rafał Woś. On the basis of their articles in the press and Internet, books and radio broadcasts from 2013–2018 the main structures of the new left-liberal narrative were distinguished which concern i.a. settling accounts with (neo)liberals, embracing the people and the generation gap impinging the evaluation of the transition. The communicative effectiveness, originality and discursive identity of the narrative formulated by Sroczyński and Woś is also discussed and questioned in this paper.

Border that separates from light - Image of time(s) in Olga Tokarczuk’s novels and its sources

Granica, która oddziela od światła - Jaki jest obraz czasu(ów) w twórczości Olgi Tokarczuk i skąd pochodzi

Author(s): Krzysztof Brenskott / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: Olga Tokarczuk; Gnosticism; Kaballah; Zen; chronos and kairos;

Time is one of the main themes in Olga Tokarczuk’s work. The title of her most famous novel, Prawiek i inne czasy (Primeval and Other Times), refers to time; also it is time which separates the protagonists of Dom dzienny, dom nocny (House of Day, House of Night) from the God; the characters from Księgi Jakubowe (The Books of Jacob) and Podróż ludzi księgi (Journey of the People of the Book) are immersed into it, and time is the object of thought in Ostatnie historie (Latest Stories). Creating different worlds, Tokarczuk uses a concepts of time (and space) typical for Gnosticism; she also refers to Kaballah of Isaac Luria and Zen Buddhism, or she evokes the theological concepts of two times: chronos and kairos. The aim of this article is to reconstruct a picture of time which appears in Tokarczuk’s works and find the sources of those concepts. The protagonists belief that time is a side effect of a cosmic catastrophe, in Kabbalah known as shevirat ha-kelim – “the breaking of the vessels” is an interesting one. In Prawiek i inne czasy every protagonists, and also animals and objects, has its own, separate time. There is also an image of time and space – taken from Gnosticism – as a prison in which man was imprisoned by the evil Demiurge. Over the world of the protagonists, trapped in historic time, there are space of myth in which time is not flowing, whereas for plants and animals there is only the present time. Olga Tokarczuk is one of the authors in whose novels time – as a topic and phenomenon – appears very often, and the image of time, although unique and typical for her works, is composed of images taken from various religious traditions.

THE CONCEPT OF PEACE IN JOHN PAUL II’S MESSAGES

Koncepcja pokoju w orędziach Jana Pawła II

Author(s): Jarosław Koral / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 13/2006

Since the beginning of his papacy John Paul II put a lot efforts in defending peace in the world. The particular reflection of it can be found in annual messages for World Day of Peace. His personal involvement in the act of building peace affected the matters of the whole globe and local issues. The Pope directed his words to all people of „good will”, sometimes to inhabitants of the particular region or nation, always in a special way to the members of the Church.Transcendental and earthly aspect of the value of peace makes John Paul II an implacable opponent of the war in every form. The war has always been „the loss of mankind”, „the failure of all authentic humanism”. Wars, domestic conflicts, acts of violence solve nothing, on the contrary they make everything more difficult. The result of this plague is suffering and death of a great number of people, the breakdown of human relations, irreparable destruction of cultural heritage and natural environment. The war is the most barbaric and the least effective means of sorting out conflicts.

POLISH EXEGESIS ON ELIADE’S VISION OF SACRED AND PROFANE

POLISH EXEGESIS ON ELIADE’S VISION OF SACRED AND PROFANE

Author(s): Magdalena Filary / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 13/2018

Keywords: exegesis; sacred; profane; Eliade; hermeneutics;

Polish reception of Mircea Eliade's scientific work was mainly focused on the fundamental topics and concepts of the phenomenologist and historian of religion, the most important of them being sacred and profane. Two important works concentrated on the notions of sacred and profane appeared in Poland: the preface of Marcin Czerwiński to the book «Sacred, Myth, History» and an essay entitled «Between the Sacred and Profan», signed by Andrzej Tokarczyk. Our paper presents the way of perceiving Mircea Eliade's fundamental concepts, as well as the appreciations and main reproaches brought to Eliade by these two exegetes.

POLISH REVIEWS OF THE NOVEL ”MAITREYI”

POLISH REVIEWS OF THE NOVEL ”MAITREYI”

Author(s): Magdalena Filary / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 11/2017

Keywords: hermeneutics; Polish exegesis; review; Maitreyi; Eliade;

In this paper we propose the reviews of novel «Maitreyi » by Mircea Eliade, presented from the perspective of Polish exegesis. A reception study as a literary phenomenon is a dynamic process that requires not only knowledge of the investigated author, but especially the cultural and mental context of the space in which his/her work is created. The best way to approach reception is, firstly, through the corpus of translations that enable readers to come into direct contact with text and, secondly, through studies or critical exegeses, which often resorts to methodological tradition in their own country, expanding or developing a new interpretation of texts. Among the main Eliade’s literary works that have been published in Poland we can mention, among others, the novel «Maitreyi». A very important role in promoting Eliade in Poland has been played by the translators of his works, including Irena Harasimowicz, who translated the novel «Maitreyi» with the preface of the author and literary critic afterword written by Lech Budrecki. Another eminent translator of Eliade’s literary work is Ireneusz Kania who also contributed to promoting Eliade’s work in Poland with his perspective on the novel «Maitreyi».
