Conceptual Blending in Literature – a Way to Cope with Trauma? „La Route des Flandres” by Claude Simon and „Czarny potok” by Leopold Buczkowski

Pisarstwo amalgamatyczne – sposób na przepracowanie traumy? „Droga przez Flandrię” Claude’a Simona i „Czarny potok” Leopolda Buczkowskiego

Author(s): Ewelina Skłodowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology

The article considers conceptual blending as a method for coping with trauma in literature. An examination of two novels: La Route des Flandres by Claude Simon and Czarny potok by Leopold Buczkowski was conducted by using the theory of blending mental spaces proposed by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. The article intends to show the connections between conceptual blending as a form of creativity and transposing the experiences of trauma and melancholy into narration. The author assumed that blending mental spaces, which in literature often reveals itself in chaos, the absence of linearity, deformations, and ambiguity, is an adequate and realistic form for expressing emotions associated with experiencing war. It could become a remedy for the “malady of the soul” and a type of therapy; furthermore, it creates new challenges for the reader by urging him to join the process of creating sense in a novel by supplementing it with his frame of reference.

“Szabasowa”: Labyrinth of Margins

Szabasowa: labirynt obrzeży

Author(s): Olga Kaczmarek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology

The author indicates the necessity of rereading Buczkowski’s Czarny potok within the context of contemporary debates about the Holocaust in Poland and wartime Polish-Jewish relations. That, which at present must comprise the object of a discussion and persuasion supported by scientific apparatus, is the brutality of the Holocaust, which in the so-called margins – provincial Poland – was witnessed by non-Jewish Poles and which for Buczkowski was a fresh wartime experience. It required not so much to be verified as rendered and evoked in a way that would bring such experience closer and not merely name and describe it. This is the objective of the novel’s difficult and impervious structure.

“There is No Hatred”. A Portrayal of a Ukrainian in the ”Podolia Saga” by Leopold Buczkowski

„Nie ma nienawiści”. Obraz Ukraińca w „sadze podolskiej” Leopolda Buczkowskiego

Author(s): Radosław Sioma / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology

A presentation of the Ukrainians in the early prose of Leopold Buczkowski, primarily his two novels: Wertepy (1947, written in 1937) and Czarny potok (1954). The pre-war image is much more diverse, both ethnically and as regards religion, while the post-war novel became, with few exceptions, a document of the activity of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police involved in the Holocaust of the Jews and the Poles.

The Disciple of Faustus. Creative Links between Zygmunt Trziszka and Leopold Buczkowski

Uczeń Fausta. Związki twórcze Zygmunta Trziszki i Leopolda Buczkowskiego

Author(s): Arkadiusz Kalin / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology;Zygmunt Trziszka

An ideological characteristic of relations between Zygmunt Trziszka and the author from Konstancin, established during the mid-1970s, the last period in Buczkowski’s life and oeuvre. From the very beginning these contacts assumed the form of a disciple-and-master relation owing to the age difference, literary rank, and admiration for the talent of the older author; in time, however, they turned into closeness and mutual creative transactions. Zygmunt Trziszka not only borrowed from Buczkowski’s experiences, but also tried to propagate the works of his teacher by consistently creating a literary biographical legend and acting as the spiritus movens of the last works of the author of Czarny potok from the 1980s. Consequently, Buczkowski, at the time suffering from a writer’s block, published three more books – mainly an untypical record of registered conversations with him. In this case Trziszka not only performed the role a “midwife” of the reminiscences, but was a sui generis partner in a (philosophical) dialogue as the books’ editor-co-author. At the same time, he broached this concept by developing the idea of his master’s ”novel-document”, and in this manner becoming the sole, up to this day, continuator of Buczkowski’s creative conceptions, a process that the author of this article tried to briefly characterise and assess. This is also an opportunity for supplementing the oeuvre of Trziszka, today almost entirely forgotten and recognised mainly as a representative of the rural current in Polish literature.

Buczkowski’s „De Inventione”. Few Notes on „Kąpiele w Lucca”

„De inventione” Buczkowskiego. Kilka uwag o początku „Kąpieli w Lucca”

Author(s): Mikołaj Gliński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology

Apart from an extraordinary diversity of literary matter, with which Kąpiele w Lucca, the novel by Leopold Buczkowski, abounds, its author frequently offered the reader conspicuous references to classical rhetoric, and especially its part known as inventio. The article follows this particular rhetorical trope by showing individual cases of rhetorical references and rhetorical theory as a whole, to which Buczkowski referred in Kąpiele… Classical rhetoric in the form of inventio, conceived as a theory of building statements and speaking about the world in general, proves to be an important interpretation context of the novel in which classical theory becomes contrasted with the collage-like manner in which the novel communicates.

Unrecognisable Reality. On the Modernistic Character of Writings by Leopold Buczkowski

Rzeczywistość nie do poznania. O modernistycznym charakterze pisarstwa Leopolda Buczkowskiego

Author(s): Karol Stefańczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Leopold Buczkowski;literature;anthropology

What place does Leopold Buczkowski hold in Polish twentieth-century literature? The author of the article formulated a thesis claiming that we are dealing with a writer who was part of Polish Modernism. Issues perturbing Buczkowski are of an epistemological nature and pertain to the possibility of becoming acquainted with reality, subjectivity, communication, and presentation. According to the author of Kąpiele w Lucca each of those questions finds itself in a state of a permanent crisis caused by the impact of arché, which determines reality.

HB, Briefly

HB, naprędce

Author(s): Marian Pilot / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Henryk Bereza;literature;anthropology;

“Henryk Bereza had a hard life, full of obstacles and anguish. A happy life” – this is the way in which the author (and one of the few friends, to cite his words) of recollections about Henryk Bereza ended his text. He described the beginnings of Bereza’s literary “school” or “stable”, his Warsaw patriotism (Bereza did not leave the Polish capital for years), his resignation from a university career for the sake of freedom and independence in searching for a writer’s path, and his rebellion and declaration of an “artistic revolution” ideally interlocked with the peasant current in Polish literature. All those features were the reason why Bereza became the target of numerous attacks launched by academic Polish philologists (some being his former fellow students) who after his death issued a declaration claiming that his literary output was devoid of all value and unworthy of publication.

Resounding Chaos. The Situation of Musical Liturgy Among the “Roman Catholics” of Murafa

Odgłosy chaosu. Sytuacja muzyki liturgicznej w środowisku murachowskich „rzymokatolików”

Author(s): Jan Wawrzyniec Lech / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Ukraine;ethnography;religion;

A summary of confidential narrations by the inhabitants of the village of Murafa (Podolia). Narrations describing national and religious identity and expressing a longing for certain lucidly outlined aesthetic stands are embroiled in an unofficial debate, almost excluded from the official discourse. The space in which this conflict takes place is the interior of the Roman Catholic church in Murafa, with liturgical music as a sphere reflecting these narrations. The researcher conducting field studies is steered to the functioning of the conflict involving musical aesthetics by empirical moments of ritually co-experiencing a profound social game, a certain subliminal network of interpersonal interactions between groups and the individual, and between space and the sacrum. Following those interactions via condensed and detailed descriptions of the most expressive scenes of the aesthetic conflict make it possible to devise a typology of musical-religious experience in the Roman Catholic part of Murafa.

Narrations about the Pole’s Card and Its Impact upon the Identity of the Inhabitants of Murafa in the Vinnyts’ka OblastPodolia, Ukraine

Narracje na temat Karty Polaka i jej wpływu na tożsamość mieszkańców Murafy w obwodzie winnickim Podole, Ukraina

Author(s): Katarzyna Kaczmarska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: Ukraine; ethnography;identity;

In the local discourse conducted in Murafa Polish identity is inseparably connected with the Catholic creed. The source of Polish identification was predominantly religious tradition, with the Polish language conceived as the language of prayer. After the Karta Polaka (Pole’s Card, Polish Charter) act was passed in 2008 many residents of Murafa received the document in question. The author of the article analysed three general stands vis a vis Karta Polaka, strictly correlated with age and distinguishable among the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Murafa. Members of the older generation do not attach importance to the possession of the Charter nor connect it with an awareness of Polish identity. For representatives of the middle generation the document has considerable economic significance since it enables them to easily find seasonal employment in Poland. The young generation – under 25 years of age – represents a pragmatic attitude towards the Charter, which enables them to benefit from free-of-charge studies in Poland.

SMEs’ partnering represents a special kind of strategic paradoxes. These deviations from commonly accepted rules are proof that the SME management; especially strategic management; cannot be done in a simple; linear way which was proposed for larger organizations. The creation of new paths and solutions (methods and management techniques; strategies of development) dedicated for SMEs development was recommended at the end of the study.
