Keywords: Poland and Muscovy; Apollo Korzeniowski; Joseph Conrad’s father
Apollo Korzeniowski’s treatise entitled Poland and Muscovy has escaped the attention of scholars writing about the attitudes of Poles towards Russia in the post-partition era; to date only general summaries of the work have appeared in biographical notes on this “forgotten poet”. Presenting the essential idea of Korzeniowski’s “treatise-cum-memoir”, Czesław Miłosz rightly warns us against the rash tendency to ascribe nationalism to its author. In his turn, Roman Taborski, while granting the work “some documentary value”, defi nes it as “a sad testimony to a loss of perspicacity in this writer, who used to be so discerning in evaluating social phenomena”, adding that the treatise is “a historiosophic study which is imbued with extreme national chauvinism and continues the traditions of messianist ideology” by idealising Poland’s historical past and vilifying the Russian nation. In his pithy observation, Zdzisław Najder aptly emphasises the fact that “this embittered disquisition […] deals, in passionate tones, with Russo-Polish relations from the time of the fi rst partition” and with Russia’s place in Europe. Korzeniowski, Najder adds, shows Russia against the historical background of “a struggle between barbarism and civilization” as “a contemporary embodiment of Asiatic, Tartar, and Byzantine barbarism”, thus accusing Western Europe of a “cowardly or naive attitude towards Russia”.

More...The events of 1931 presaged forthcoming reassessments on the international scene, and this was not lost on Warsaw. On 7 March 1932, while opening a conference of Polish envoys to Central European countries, which he himself convened, Undersecretary of State Józef Back sought to define a new development which he called a “revisionism in international relations” aiming at the established “political convention” founded along the Versailles and Washington lines. He also referred to the previous year’s “momentous events”, even though they may have looked fairly insignificant from just several months’ perspective. But Back had no doubts that the consequences of these developments would make themselves felt. For the time being, they were delayed by the great depression which determined moves on the international arena and affected diplomatic activity all almost all countries, Poland included. The Polish Institute for International Affairs has recently brought out a collection of Polish diplomatic documents from 1931, mostly not published before. They throw light on urgent questions concerning international issues and Polish diplomatic activities in that particular year.
More...The following article is an excerpt of the Ethnographic Archive Podlasie research summary from 2007, concerning the cult of Saint Gabriel Zabłudowski [Gavriil Zabludowsky], the saint of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church, patron of Orthodox youth. According to the legend the saint was killed by Jews in 1690. At the beginning his cult developed slowly with his relics absent and carried off to Russia. After 1989 we noticed a sudden boom in the cult which contained clear threads of the blood legend. It has been reinforced by openly anti-Semitic films coming to Poland from Russia, shown once in a while in religious education rooms throughout eastern Podlasie without the Orthodox Church’s approval. In the article the author presents theoretical bases for the analysis of the informants’ statements and outlines a broader comparative context. Both of them have been formed through research carried out in Sandomierz in 2005, connected with the presence of paintings showing Jews committing ritual murder in two churches in that town (cf. J. Tokarska-Bakir, Legendy o krwi. Antropologia przesądu, [Blood Legends. Anthropology of Prejudice], Warsaw 2008).

Religious brotherhoods were one of the institutions, apart from schools and hospitals, which in past centuries played an important role in the lives of individual parishes, towns and villages. They were associations – church communities, with legal personality, bringing together people for religious purposes, regardless of gender and social origin. Different kinds of brotherhoods, including the ones of charitable and protective nature became a common phenomenon between the 11th and the 15th centuries in the West. In the thirteenth century, they also began to take hold on Polish soil, referring to Western patterns. Hospital fraternities (fraternitas hospitales) have the oldest tradition of secular charities in the Polish land. Their aim was to provide people, who often did the activities connected with the medieval hospital. Some of them even founded and ran hospitals. Just like all other religious brotherhoods, at the earliest, in the thirteenth century, they appeared in Silesia. In the group of hospital fraternities the brotherhood of the Holy Spirit played a special role. That brotherhood was associated only with hospitals run by the Order of the same name, so-called ‘duchaki’. Brotherhoods of the poor were far more common in the Polish land. Their main aim was to focus on charitable activities and they encompassed almost all the lands of the Polish Republic. Their heyday was primarily in the fifteenth and the early sixteenth century. Brotherhoods of the poor developed evenly in terms of chronology in the whole land of the Polish state. Those fraternities exercised complete control over the lives of every beggar who was in the town; they regulated districts, begging procedures and oversaw the behaviour of the poor. The chief duty of brotherhoods of the poor was to take care of the sick in hospitals and their homes. The duty of brothers was also a concern for the dead, especially the poor and homeless, Christian burial and funeral as well as the prayers for those whom they took care of. In the atmosphere of the reforms of the Council of Trent (1545-1563), religious brotherhoods began again spontaneously developing in Poland. The most important of the new brotherhoods of charity was a brotherhood of mercy, established at the end of the sixteenth century by the preacher Jesuit Piotr Skarga. The first model brotherhood of mercy was organized by Skarga in 1584, and it was attached to the Jesuit Church of St. Barbara in Krakow. Other brotherhoods, based on Skarga’s pattern, were formed in major cities of the Polish Republic, including Vilnius, Warsaw, Poznań, Pułtusk, Łowicz, Lviv, Zamość, Rzeszów, Lublin, Przemyśl. The period of the development of brotherhoods of mercy occurred in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Then those organizations gradually disappeared and were forgotten. The idea of Piotr Skarga’s brotherhoods of mercy was renewed in the new spirit of the Enlightenment in the 1770s by Bishop, later Primate Michał Jerzy

Repeatedly raised demands for the need to draw up the lists of directories (liturgical calendars) and schematisms became an incentive to produce a catalogue of directories and schematisms of male and female religious orders existing in the territory of the Polish Republic. This work is based on part of a collection of these kinds of printed documents stored in the University Library KUL and covering the years 1690-2008. Its size is estimated to be around 4,500 titles, which places it among the largest collections of this type in academic libraries in Poland. The entire bibliographic material was divided into two parts, the first of which includes male religious orders and congregations and the other female religious orders and congregations. Titles are listed chronologically according to administrative units which were part of various religious orders. A short description of religious orders includes mainly administrative divisions, which facilitates the identification of individual printed documents. The Catalogue ... was preceded by an introduction, in which attempts were made to introduce general characteristics of the presented part of the collection: its internal structure, size, and various elements of bibliographic description.

The Belarusian emigration magazine “March” was published in 1947–1948in Germany. The main editor was a well-known Belarusian literary critic andwriter Anton Adamowicz. Although only three issues were published, the role ofthis magazine was crucial. It continued the tradition of the Belarusian literarymagazines published in Belarus during the 20s and the 30s of the 20th century.A. Adamowicz was engaged in cooperation with many talented writers and critics.Also, he published a lot of his own material: short stories and critical texts. Theproblems posed in these texts were connected not only with the past history ofBelarus, but also with its current situation at the time. The magazine becamea springboard to introduce various views about the development of Belarusianliterature and culture in exile.

The book discusses the cultural reconstruction of the history of the concept of fantasy on the basis of the texts of thinkers connected to Polish philosophical idealism of the mid-19th century. The author employs the methodology taken from the history of concepts to present interdisciplinary disputes and discussions on fantasy in the 1840s–1870s. The publication describes three groups of thinkers – masters of national philosophy, teachers of the Main School, and their positivist students – presenting the most important philosophical inspirations and dominant theoretical disciplines, which are the basis to demonstrate the transformations of the contemporary discourses and models of man.

This article outlines the original research concept developed and applied by the Voronezh researchers, which brought both quantitative and qualitative results to the field of linguistic comparative research. Their monograph is devoted to the macrotypological unity of the lexical semantics of the languages in Europe. In addition, semantic stratification of Russian and Polish lexis has been analyzed. Their research concept is now known as the “lexical-semantic macrotypological school of Voronezh.” Representatives of this school have created a new research field in theoretical linguistics – a lexical-semantic language macrotypology as a branch of linguistic typology. The monograph has been widely discussed and reviewed in Russia.

The purpose of the study is to describe Jan Długosz (1415–1480) as a writer and hagiographer on the basis of his Life of St. Stanislaus (1460s, BHL 7839). In the first part of the article author presents a rhetorical division of the analysed source: (1) literary topoi contained in the prologue, (2) hagiographic topoi (with comparative examples derived from lives written by Jerome, Sulpicius Severus, and the Golden Legend), (3) argumentative parts throughout the whole Life (genus inartificiale probationum; genus artificiale probationum: loci a persona, loci a re, exempla, signa; congeries, incrementum, comparatio, ratiocinatio), as well as (4) two epilogues. Then author describes theory of three styles applied in the Life and shows figurae verborum, figurae sententiarum and rhetorical devices used in it. Next, the narrative technique is described. Długosz used in the Life many metaliterary phrases, e.g. to focus his reader-audience on presented events or to underline his own opinion on the presented subject. He also played with oratio obliqua and oratio recta while describing how Bishop Stanislaus rebuked King Boleslaus. In this part it is also shown in what manner Długosz prepared speeches in oratio recta on the basis of statements contained in the Vita maior by Wincenty of Kielce/Kielcza (13th c.). Subsequently, the author presents rhetorical periods and prose rhythm (cursus) applied in the Life. The second part of the study is devoted to the investigation to what extent Długosz wrote the Life independently from the Vita maior. Author shows that Długosz in his work presented information already described by Wincenty, but in the Life he put them in other places to build tension of the quarrel between the bishop and the king. In his conclusion the author states that Długosz’s literary skills were on a high level. Despite the fact that the Life observes the rules set by a literary convention of medieval hagiography. Długosz remained individual: (1) contrary to the hagiographic tradition, he placed in the Life four documents in extenso, (2) he also unconventionally put there seven dates, (3) moreover, in his hagiographic work he mentioned political issues motivated by historical arguments. These points are also reasons for the author’s argument that Długosz wrote all his various works employing the same principles.

The films that have been discussed in the present textbook contain a variety of linguistic and cultural values. We have offered short films, because due to their small volume they are suitable for use in their entirety in any kind of classroom activity. However, making a lesson more attractive is not the only function of the compilation of films that we have proposed – another one is to fill the gap existing in contemporary textbooks devoted to teaching Polish as a foreign language. The films covered in the book form a kind of a catalogue of pretexts for conversation on difficult topics, which are omitted by most textbooks. Cultural problems related to individual films are just one part of lesson units suggested. Apart from them, we also propose a set of various exercises developing all language skills which thematically match a specific movie. The basic aim of the textbook is the development of students’ communicative competence. The language levels have not been specified either in the lesson outlines or in the exercises. This has been done consciously and deliberately, in order to give the teacher or instructor the opportunity to adapt individual elements to the needs and interests of their group.

William ShakespeareThe first volume of the electronic publication is part of the digital repository Polski Szekspir UW (http://polskiszekspir.uw.edu.pl) which provides access to all Polish 19th-century Shakespeare translations as well as to case studies reconstructing their origin and reception.The book offers a comprehensive account of the history of the Polish translations of Shakespeare’s plays in the 19th century and consists of 27 chapters focused on individual translation endeavors viewed with regard to translation strategy, biographical context and critical reception. The authors study the dynamics and complexity of broadly understood assimilation processes of foreign literature into a national culture, with special emphasis on the evolution of literary tastes, conventions and theatrical needs. The book also offers an updated account of the Polish translation resources, invites extensive comparative analyses and positions Polish reception against pan-European trends. This refers in particular to the relation between literary criticism and translation practices, the shaping pressure of literary and staging conventions, the specificity of individual translator strategies and mechanisms governing the canonization of literature in translation.

Exhibitions of Polish Art in France in 1921-39 The exhibition of Polish art held in 1921 by the Salon de la Société nationale des beaux arts was the first after the Great War presenting the accomplishments of artists from Poland. Prepared by the Polish government, or, to be more precise, by the Bureau of Foreign Propaganda of the Board of the Council of Ministers, under the auspices of the politicians: Józef Piłsudski and France’s President Alexandre Millerand, two months after signing the political treaty between France and Poland, it was meant to draw public attention to Poland and its culture. While the earlier displays held by the Polish colony in France had presented merely works of the artists that represented the colony, this one also included pieces by leading painters and sculptors active in Poland from the late 18th up to the 20th century. The organizers (the sculptor Edward Wittig and the painter Ferdynand Ruszczyc), meant first of all to represent Polish art, its best most characteristic works enhancing the ‘Polish character’ of the artistic output in Poland. However, contrary to the intentions, French commentators pointed out mainly to the dependence of Polish art on French art. The exhibition yielded negative reviews, similarly as that of ‘Young Poland’ at the Musée Crillon in 1922 (displaying, first of all, the Formists) and that of the Polish section at the Salon d’Automne in 1928 (this presenting artists from Poland, firstly members of the ‘Praesens’ Group), and in the painting section representatives of various groups, of different age, mainly the ‘Rhythm’ Group (Borowski, Malczewski, Niesiołowski, Pruszkowski, Skoczylas, Stryjeńska, Wąsowicz). The display was organized in cooperation between the Association of Polish Artists established in France and the Polish Society of Literary and Artistic Exchange between France and Poland (Société polonaise d’échanges littéraires et artistiques entre la France et la Pologne), presided by Mieczysław Treter, and forming the Paris branch of the Society of Promoting Polish Art among Foreigners (TOSSPO) set up a year earlier, and operating under the patronage of the Ministry of Religious Beliefs and Public Enlightenment as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All the three displays, prepared hurriedly, chaotically, and under difficult circumstances, were badly synchronized in time. They did not take into account the cultural policy of the beholders and their preferences. Held at the time when ‘the return to order’ had become a dominant slogan in Paris, while landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes dominated in the French artists’ output, they proved to be a failure. At the time TOSSPO, organizer of the majority of exhibitions abroad, had openly started to favour works of the artists drawing inspiration from folk art, whose oeuvre was considered to display the affirmation of Polishness and the continuity of national forms. The Society’s most frequently organized exhibitions included displays of carpets and tapestries designed by e.g. Józef Czajkowski, Edward Trojanowski, and Wanda Kossecka, or woodcuts by Edmund Bartłomiejczyk, Bogna Krasnodębska, Stefan Mrożewski, and Władysław Skoczylas. The Polish section was, for example, successful at the Third European Woodcut Exhibition (La troisième Exposition de La Gravure sur Bois originale en Europe) held by L’Union Centrale des Arts décoratifs and the Société de la gravure sur bois originale in 1928. A year earlier works by Józef Czajkowski, Wojciech Jastrzębowski, and Edward Trojanowski (representing the Polish Applied Art Society) and 40 works by the artist of the ŁAD Artists’ Cooperative had been shown as part of the Polish section organized by TOSSPO and the Society of Artistic and Literary Exchange between France and Poland at the first international Exhibition of Carpets of North and Eastern Europe (Le Tapis. Première exposition. Europe Septentrionale et Orientale) held at the Musée des arts décoratifs, Pavillon Marsan, in 1927. Good relations between Poland and France did not last long. Already in the early 1920s, the collapse of the strong-arm policy that France had implemented towards Germany was visible, and so was the attempt of the West to reach a consensus with Berlin. The late 1920s also coincided with the beginning of the Great Depression following Black Tuesday in 1929. In order to warm up Poland’s image in France and in an attempt to draw the attention of the French people to our country, with their politicians being favourable to Germany, an exhibition at the Jeu de Paume was held. Launched on 22 December 1930, the display titled La Pologne 1830–1920–1930 was a major event, mainly of political impact. Antoni Potocki, responsible for selecting art pieces from France, was the exhibition’s instigator and organizer, while Mieczysław Treter served as the organizer responsible for choosing works from the Second Polish Republic. The propaganda goal was unambiguous: the organizers’ aim was to create a totally novel image of Poland, to replace the concept of ‘noble yet unfortunate Poland’(noble et malheureuse Pologne), with the image of a powerful country, Poland defending the West against the ‘Eastern onslaught’. It therefore synthesized the history of Poland previously unknown in France, until then thought to have been associated primarily with Sobieski, Mickiewicz, and Chopin. Focusing on three major dates: 1839, 1829, and 1930, it was meant to show respective developments in Poland’s history in a way that would enhance Poles’ contribution to defending the West, and therefore Christianity as well as the Latin character of Europe. And this exhibition was actually successful. Having been organized at the right time, at a prestigious venue, and widely advertised in the press, it turned out to be one of the few displays that received an enthusiastic welcome. The 1930 exhibition, also propaganda-wise, was completed with two subsequent ones mounted respectively in 1933: Sobieski, King of Poland, in Engravings from the Period (‘Sobieski roi de Pologne d’après les estampes de l’époque’) and in 1935 (then the Polish Room included documents, letters, armours, uniforms, paintings, and prints from the period related to Poles in the French army in the 17th and 18th centuries) held for the purpose of the exhibition Two Centuries of Military Glory 1610-1814 (Deux Siècles de Gloire Militaire 1610–1814) at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Pavillon de Marsan, with the contribution of the Polish Library. All the three: from 1930, 1933, and 1935 respectively, harmonized with Poland’s major diplomatic endeavours, with all the works having been selected topically and in accordance with the suggested interpretation. All were also made events of a political impact. They represented, however, but a swan song in view of the events that were to follow. The task of the Polish Section at the 1937 Exhibition Art and Technology in Modern Life was to present Poland as a strong, modern country, pertaining to the Latin tradition. Similarly as in the course of the earlier exhibitions in 1930-35, Poland’s European character was emphasized, and that of its people who were related to Latin culture and immersed in the Western Christian world. Meanwhile, TOSSPO continued focused on promoting the myth of Slavic Poland. Polish woodcuts and Polish folk art remained our major export commodity until the outbreak of WW II. Still in 1938, a committee at the folk art section was established at TOSSPO, while in the 1930s such Polish exhibitions on the topic still dominated in France; they were held by the Les Amis de la Pologne Society which developed its activity at the time. Moreover, in the 1930s, France was being toured by Polish exhibitions of graphic art, which, in their majority, presented works by the same artists. The displays of Polish graphic art and Polish folk art, organized by TOSSPO beginning as of the mid-1920s, namely from the International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts, until 1939 were systematically very popular. They perfectly fitted in the period when what was national, what signified the distinctness of a country, was particularly appreciated in France. France perceived Poland, and wanted to see it as a non-Western, Slav-culture country. Interestingly, graphic art was the domain in which Poles won the highest success in the interwar period, not only in France, but also in other European countries and the United States, where the works by, e.g. Edmund Bartłomiejczyk, Tadeusz Cieślewski Junior, Stanisław Ostoja-Chrostowski, Janina Konarska, Bogna Krasnodębska, Stefan Mrożewski, and Władysław Skoczylas were particularly appreciated. Appreciated was not only high-quality craftsmanship, but also the style that, similarly as in France, was called ‘Slavic Style’ by reviewers. In the US, the displays of folk art as well as those of fabrics and tapestries of ŁAD met with warm welcome. In the eyes of average Americans the works fitted their stereotype image of Polish art, essentially of folk character, and so did religious and historical scenes. It was similar in France where in the 1920s tradition and realism were favoured.

In the case of Poland the first signs of modernity, i.e. the ideological influence of the Enlightenment and the economic impact of capitalism, were connected with the attempts to overcome crisis of the Republic. The loss of the independent state brought modernisation problems, which made the underdevelopment of the country a crucial factor affecting Polish culture. The 19th-century struggle for modernity was to create cultural patterns, which still define views and attitudes of the Poles.

The very study constitutes an attempt to reflect on the ways of approaching the Silesianissues in Polish synthetic narrations written at the end of the Republic of Both Nations atthe time of a complete loss of Polish statehood. The author aimed to both reconstruct thepresence of Silesian motives in the afore-mentioned type of historical works synthetically,and recognize and capture a dynamic process of their shaping and changing. She also triedto present a specified selection of opinions on Silesia as a certain living whole, a set ofpresentations and explanations connected with complex relations of references, continuation,negation or transposition. In searching proper categories and research tools, she turned tothe theory of dialogue and studies on intertextuality deriving from it.The work consists of five chapters. In the first, the author tries to ground her considerationsin the context of an already existing historiographic tradition of researching the“Polish historical thought”, presents the theoretical assumptions, explains the conception,and discusses the empirical basis, as well as specifies the subject of research. In the secondchapter, she outlines a socio-political and historiographic-cultural context accompanyingthe appearance of the “first text”, Historya narodu polskiego by Adam Naruszewicz, developsa detailed analysis of the very work from the perspective of selected Silesian aspects, and,finally, discusses “references” — subsequent views on Silesia included in synthetic worksof the Enlightenment. In two subsequent chapters, she presents “voices” of a dialogue onSilesia heard in Romanticism and Positivism respectively in a chronological order. In eachof them, she tries to show a network of dialogue relations combining subsequent “replicas”with the most important texts of the epochs in question, syntheses by Joachim Lelewel (forRomanticism) and works by the leader of Krakow school owned by Michał Bobrzyńskiand Józef Szujski (for post-Upraising times). The scope of considerations is expanded tomonographic books at that time which to a smaller or greater extent dealt with the Silesianissues, treating them as the “providers” of the new arguments to the dialogue participants.In the fifth chapter, devoted to Neoromanticism, the author presents the first two opinionsof the subsequent segment of a dialogue process, interrupted by the outbreak of the WorldWar I, belonging to Feliks Koneczny and Józef Dąbrowski. In closing, she shows a holisticcharacteristic of a dialogue on Silesia in a synthetic way, and points to its substantialdeterminants.
