Тема охоты в публицистических выступлениях Виктора Астафьева

Author(s): Iwona Zdanowicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Cruelty towards animals is most openly discussed in opinion journalism which often condemns hunting and calls for respect for non‑human beings. This article examines the theme of hunting in opinion journalism of a Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. In his essays Astafyev emphasizes a fundamental difference between hunting as a necessity (for taiga residents hunting is a means of survival), and poaching. It is also worth noting that for Astafyev hunting is something that gives a sense of unity of man and nature. In the essay Осенью на вырубке (In the autumn on the logging, 1974) the protagonist and his friend embark on a hunt but soon he finds that trophies are of no value to him and do not provide satisfaction. The greatest pleasure is in the opportunity to commune with nature. In the essay Разговор со старым ружьeм ( Conversation with an old shotgun, 1997) Astafyev already at the outset describes hunting as “wandering with a shotgun” („таскаться с ружьeм”), which clearly defines his attitude to hunting. The writer introduces in the text many humorous parables that intensify ridiculousness of situations that the protagonist finds himself in. The purpose: the funnier and more absurdly the „hunter” looks, the nobler and wiser the nature is in the eyes of the reader.

Mickiewiczowska sztuka przypisu Część II (Konrad Wallenrod i Dziady cz. III)

Author(s): Marek Stanisz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article is the second part of a study devoted to the rethoric and function of Adam Mickiewicz’s annotations to his poetic works – Konrad Wallenrod (1828) and Part III of Dziady (1832). These works evocatively connect history and current politics, and their annotations continue and further develop Mickiewicz’s strategies from his earlier poetic works. In the annotations to Konrad Wallenrod, the poet eruditely relates to the historical realities of the depicted world, strenghtening the credibility of the plot and displaying the authority of a refined historian. In the annotations to Part III of Dziady, Mickiewicz supplements literary fiction with accounts of a scholar, political expert, and witness familiar with the realities of the Russian state. Thus, he puts himself in the role of a story-teller commemorating his fellow countrymen’s plight, an analyst exposing the essence of the political system of the tsarist Russia, and a participant of historic events who emphasizes Poland’s historical rationale.

Poetics in the Age of Convergence

Author(s): Ewa Szczęsna / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of the study is to present changes in the structure of text (its structure and ways of creation, figures in particular) in digital discourse. The identity of digital communication is supported by existing signs, texts, and discourses; and how it develops in the process of their adaptation and reinterpretation. The Internet seems to be a really good space in which different discourses become alike. This process results in the creation of new poetics of text and discourse. Digital media modifies rhetorical figures (especially the ontology and functions of those figures), it cancel figures existing in traditional texts (for example, inversion is invalidated because no determined way of reading the text exists), and it creates new ones. In digital discourse words and icons have a multifunctional nature (meaning-making, linking, acting, marking, and signalling the sender’s emotions). Traditional textual forms, which differ semiotically and medially, are combined and transformed, so that the boundaries between forms of expression are blurred.

Convergence and Communication: Genre Analysis of the websites of Polish Writers

Author(s): Maciej Maryl / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article categorizes new forms of expressions on writers’ websites as means of maintaining communication with readers. The first part is dedicated to inter- and trans-medial analysis of various multimedia materials published on such websites (e.g. biographical notes, photographs, trailers). In the second part the website is analyzed as a hybrid text in which various types of expression are submitted to the main communicative purpose. On both levels of analysis the material is categorized in terms of the communicative function, for, as the author claims, the genre analysis of electronic discourse requires an approach which takes into consideration not only authorial intent and textual features but also the context of online utterance and the role of other partners of communication.

Towards a Generic Analysis of the Microblog (Based on a Study of Twitter)

Author(s): Katarzyna Sitkowska / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article is an attempt to determine the place of microblogs, posted on Twitter, on the Internet or, more broadly in the multimedia genealogy. First, the service itself is presented and mechanisms of its functioning are described. Then its importance for society is mentioned. Furthermore, some crucial issues related to the theory of genres are presented and they constitute an essential introduction to the research methodology. The “guides” on the path of reflection and on the characteristics of microblogs are the “older siblings” of this form of expression: the Internet, journalistic and other genres, whose determinants have already been described. Such an order is matched against another one – the tradition of genres’ description in four aspects: structural, pragmatic, cognitive and stylistic.
