Yirmi birinci yüzyıl ile birlikte ivme kazanan NBIC (nanoteknoloji, biyoteknoloji, enformasyon teknolojileri ve bilişim bilim) teknolojileri alışılageldik kavramlar üzerinden yapılan geleneksel insan tanımlarını ve insana yüklediğimiz değerleri değiştirmektedir. İnsanın ve doğanın ‘doğasını’ değiştirmenin eşiğinde olan kök hücre araştırmaları, yeniden üreme biyoteknolojileri, sentetik biyoloji, insan genom ve gen-tasarım teknolojilerinden, klonlama teknolojileri, türler arası organ nakil teknolojileri ve suni hayat ve yapay yaşam ortamlarına kadar birçok biyomedikal, biyoteknolojik ve sibernetik buluş yeni bir dönüm noktasını ya da insanlık tarihinde yeni bir kırılmayı işaret etmektedir. Söz konusu gelişmelere eşlik eden düşünsel değişimler ise insana ve doğaya dair genel geçer ve asla değişmez diye adlandırdığımız temel kategorileri sorgulayarak dönüşümün gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Posthümanizm bu dönüşümlerin bir yansıması olarak, geçmiş, bugün ve gelecek arasındaki bağları irdeler; bu bağlamda da insan, insan-ötesi/ üstü/sonrası/dışı/ alternatif senaryolar üretir/sunar. Bütün bu gelişmeleri ve dönüşümleri ele almayı amaçlayan Posthümanizm Serisi’nin ilk kitabı olan Edebiyatta Posthümanizm, Batı toplumlarını ideolojisini ve zihniyetini yüzyıllardır besleyen insanı evrenin merkezi kabul eden anlayış biçiminin vuku bulduğu insan/doğa, insan/insan-olmayan gibi ikili düşünce sistemini kökten çökerten posthümanizm kuramlar bütününün edebi yazında nasıl kavramsallaştırıldığını sorgulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu kitap Posthümanizm ve Edebiyat ilişkisini derinlemesine inceleyen farklı coğrafyalarda ve farklı dönemlerde yazılmış çeşitli Osmanlı-Türk ve Batı edebiyatlarından örnekleri posthümanist kuramsal yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde analiz ederek insan ötesi yaşam türlerinin edebiyattaki yansımalarını tartışır. Seçilen eserlerde posthümanizmin feminizm, ekoeleştiri, biyopolitika ve transhümanizm gibi kuramlarla birbirlerine katkısı doğrultusunda yakından ilişkisi incelenmektedir.

Translations – produced, at varying rates, across the ages – constitute one of the basic components of the reception of Slavia Orthodoxa literature in Poland. Their comprehensive description and in-depth analysis require the collection, presentation, and commentary of the bibliographic data concerning the existing translations of the writings in question. This is the objective of the recent volume of Series Ceranea.The bibliography covers texts which arose and/or functioned among the Slavs of the Eastern Rite between the late 9th and the 21st century and which have been translated into Polish, be it from Old Church Slavic or the recensions (local varieties) of Church Slavic. The description encompasses both works that can be attributed to particular authors and anonymous writings. The bibliography is accompanied by a dozen or so detailed analytic/descriptive studies.

Translations – produced, at varying rates, across the ages – constitute one of the basic components of the reception of Slavia Orthodoxa folk literature in Poland. Their comprehensive description and in-depth analysis require the collection, presentation, and commentary of the bibliographic data concerning the existing translations of the works in question. This is the goal of the present publication.The Bibliography systematizes the Polish translations of folk texts originating from the Slavia Orthodoxa area. The primary division of the source material is based on the criterion of geographic origin: South Slavic vs East Slavic. Within these two groups, the pieces are categorized according to the means of transmission or performance: prose works intended for being retold (fables, legends, folk tales, etc.) and poetic works intended for being sung or recited (songs, including epic songs; ballads, dumas, bylinas, etc.). The bibliographic information concerning the existing translations is presented in chronological order. The bibliography is accompanied by a number of detailed analytic/descriptive studies.

The scientific monograph Artificial paradises: intoxications with culture – intoxications in culture is a polyphonic project on understanding the titular phenomenon, identifying its forms, manifestations and consequences that are both a subject of description of culture, and its integral component, a source of ecstatic, euphoric or at least hedonistic reactions and behaviors. One of the functions of culture and art is to evoke emotions, often extreme (and not always positive) ones that result in experiences comparable to narcotic or alcoholic intoxication. Contemporary theories of literary and artistic communication (based on an emphatic or somatic mode of reception) allow for a return to these reception conceptions seemingly abandoned a long time ago, bringing culture back to what is in popular opinion its unwaveringly primary task of delivering sensory impressions and emotional affections. It is in this sense that the initial metaphor of “artificial paradises” was interpreted by the authors of the various chapters in the monograph. The metaphor was applied to all literary and artistic tools that shape reality represented in a way that enables one to create an imagined world which suits the spiritual and emotional needs of a human being more than that one which is known for empirical experience. The monograph is therefore a multi-authored overview of different variants of understanding cultural intoxications, recognizing and indicating their presence or transmission in the culture of the Slavs.

"The Portuguese-Czech dictionary of Brazilian Portuguese represents, within the Czech context, the first dictionary that focuses on the specific vocabulary of the Brazilian variant of Portuguese and attempts to translate it into Czech. It is based on the Pequeno Dicionário Brasileiro da Língua Portuguesa and, subsequently, enriches it with the current vocabulary of contemporary Brazilian Portuguese."

This multi-author monograph is the result of the jubilee scientific conference organised at the Faculty of Applied Linguistics of the University of Warsaw to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Applied Linguistics. The editors aimed to make individual chapters and problems raised in the publication correspond with the subject of (applied) linguistics and its numerous subdisciplines. Apart from the articles devoted to subdisciplines recognised in the linguists’ environment, such as glottodidactics, translation, terminology or specialist communication, the monograph contains texts on relatively new subdisciplines, including avialinguistics and jurisprudence. The monograph is complemented by reflections on broadly understood culture and literature.

The monograph represents a significant milestone in shaping the patterns of official communication in Poland. The research material comprises office collections originating from Upper Silesia during the 16th to 18th centuries, encompassing multiple towns governed by European municipal law. Due to the broad jurisdiction of local offices, the extant documents embody two distinct discourses: chancellery discourse, governing legal-social and ownership relations among residents, and court discourse, concerned with arbitrating disputes and maintaining public order. The characteristics of both discourses are related to the description of pragmatic functions typical for them, text categories and genres of statements recorded in written form.

The aim of the book is to analyse the theories of travel that Mickiewicz’s and Słowacki’s letters reveal. Undoubtedly, the 19th century can be described as the age of travel, which became a need, a fashion and even a must. Many different modes of travelling as well as many different types of travellers appeared at that time, some of them presented their experiences in written accounts. Mickiewicz and Słowacki described their voyages mostly in their letters, which – if analysed using the travel writing studies tools – can reveal these two poets’ understanding of the phenomenon of travel.

This book is intended primarily for English undergraduate students. Some sections are also useful for those who study language in general, as each chapter starts from the basic concepts in the different disciplines of linguistics, so that no prior knowledge of linguistics is necessary. The primary goal of the book is to enable students to acquire and expand their knowledge about human language in general, English as a world language, and about the scientific study of languages, which lays a foundation for a more detailed study of linguistic rules. Having read the chapters and completed the tasks in each section, students will be able to discuss the basic principles of modern linguistics, apply the tools for linguistic analysis, and use the metalanguage when describing fundamental concepts in specific areas of linguistics, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and teaching methodology.

The main objective of the book is to analyze the evolutionary path of the forms haya cantado, hubiere cantado and hubiera~-se cantado in the period between 1701 and 2023 in Latin American varieties of Spanish. The monograph consists of three chapters. The first two present the history of the compound tenses of the subjunctive mood from Latin to 21st -century Spanish, while the third investigates in detail the frequency of its use between the 18th and 21st centuries in Latin American Spanish. Thus, the first chapter, which covers the period up to the Golden Ages, revolves around the creation of compound tenses whose origin is found in the Latin construction epistulam scriptam habeo. In the second chapter, after familiarizing the reader with the periodization of Latin American Spanish, the use of compound tenses of the subjunctive mood in different Spanish varieties in Latin America between the 18th and 21st centuries is examined, that is, in the period corresponding to modern Spanish. The most typical contexts of use of haya cantado, hubiere cantado and hubiera~-se cantado are analyzed, and it also offers some observations on the frequency of their use in Latin American countries. Chapter three analyzes the frequency of use of haya cantado, hubiere cantado and hubiera~-se cantado between 1701 and 2023, based on data collected in the CORDE, CORDIAM, CREA and CORPES XXI corpora. Likewise, the frequency of use of cantara~-se is examined, which, as indicated on several occasions, primarily competes with haya cantado.The work ends with concluding observations that concisely and briefly summarize the main ideas.

© Copyright by Barbara Batko-Tokarz & Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego.Tematem tej rozprawy jest opis teoretycznych i praktycznych problemówpodziału tematycznego słownictwa współczesnego języka polskiego. Główną inspiracją do zainteresowania się tą tematyką stała się praca przy tworzeniu Wielkiego słownika języka polskiego PAN (skrót WSJP PAN), pierwszegoprymarnie elektronicznego słownika ogólnego współczesnej polszczyzny.Tworzący jego koncepcję zdecydowali, że słownictwo w nim zgromadzonepowinno podlegać klasyfikacji tematycznej. Zadanie stworzenia zasad tematycznej klasyfikacji haseł słownikowych od samego początku powierzonezostało autorce tej rozprawy. Jak dotąd nigdzie nie została jednak dokładnie opisana koncepcja, która legła u podstaw tego przedsięwzięcia. Dlatego też główny temat niniejszej książki stanowi opis teoretycznych podstawi zasad ich tworzenia, a także prezentacja oryginalnego schematu klasyfikacyjnego przygotowanego przez autorkę specjalnie na potrzeby podziałutematycznego słownictwa współczesnej polszczyzny wraz z dokładnymi zasadami jego budowy. Trzeba podkreślić, że nie będzie to jednak opis tego,jak obecnie wygląda realizacja koncepcji klasyfikacji tematycznej w WSJPPAN, w którym znalazła ona praktyczne zastosowanie, ale przedstawieniepodstaw teoretycznych i praktycznych rozwiązań, które były niezbędne, byna potrzeby słownika współczesnej polszczyzny powstał podział tematycznyzgromadzonego w nim słownictwa. Choć koncepcja ta służy konkretnemudziełu leksykograficznemu, autorka potraktowała ją jako punkt wyjścia dobardziej uniwersalnej refleksji o tematycznym podziale słownictwa współczesnej polszczyzny.

Publication available under license Attribution 4.0 International (BY 4.0).This is a revised version of my doctoral dissertation Generics in Norwegian –A Cognitive Analysis. I defended the thesis in October 2020 at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The goal of this book is to show how genericityfunctions in the Norwegian language and how it is rendered in the cognitiveframework.Genericity as a language phenomenon is regarded as the ability to talkabout kinds and to make generalisations about people, objects and events.The possibility to make such generalisations is known to be present in alllanguages (see Chapters 1 and 2). However, the way it is expressed may varyfrom language to language. In Germanic languages, and therefore also inNorwegian, genericity is expressed mainly with the use of different nounforms. When it comes to Norwegian, there are five noun phrase (NP) typesthat can be used generically and these are: bare noun, indefinite singular,definite singular, indefinite plural, and definite plural.All of the forms listed above can be used in a number of contexts, notonly the generic ones. In this study, a number of generic texts are analysed,together with feedback from native speakers of Norwegian, in order to determine whether there are certain contexts in which given NP types occuras generic. In the last section of the book, a cognitive model of such contextswas created (see Chapter 7), based on the models of Radden 2009, Pettersson1976, and Leslie et al. 2011.

La dimensión creativa siempre incluirá un cambio de perspectiva.Cuando cambiamos de posición, las cosas se ven de manera diferente.Lo que estaba lejos, se acerca, y lo cercano, lo familiar, lo que conocemos,o mejor dicho, lo que creemos conocer, se aleja mostrándonos suotro lado, una faceta desconocida, rara, que nos extraña, al principioasusta, pero al final despierta la curiosidad. Cualquier cambio de posición,aunque sea solo un paso, es una actividad creativa ya que nospermite ver las cosas de modo diferente y plantear preguntas que hastaese momento no tenían razón de ser. El cambio de perspectiva es laesencia del pensamiento humano. /excerpt from the introduction/

The book proposes to investigate the state of literary research that emerges after the negation of constructivism. After a period typical of constructivism's dominance of the belief in the textual nature of reality, the discursive nature of human reality and the narrative identity of each subject, entirely new positions are emerging, which the monograph describes collectively. Thanks to the philosophy of presence, new phenomenology, the turn to things, ecocriticism and other transgressions of constructivism, the relations of literature to reality and subjectivity are explored in a completely new way. These are referred to in the monograph as 'post-critical reading', thus emphasising that they have been developed as another form of criticism combined with reflections on the positive relationships of works with their readers. After defining critical reading, the book focuses on two distinct evolutions of literary studies attitudes towards the deliberate negation of constructivism (H.U. Gumbrecht) or its combination with post-constructivist concepts and practices (R. Felski). The monograph also contains a number of readings of 20th- and 21st-century Polish literature in a post-critical spirit (S. Piasecki, Z. Haupt, M. Białoszewski, T. Różewicz, P. Matywiecki, A.D. Liskowacki, D. Kotas. S. Hałas, N. Malek).

Out of a plethora of discursive attempts to grasp metaphorically the earlytwenty-first-century spirit of our late capitalist/postmodern condition,the notion of camouflage seems a particularly disturbing one. On theone hand, it implicitly problematizes the traditional postmodern dislikeof the inside-outside distinction, directly or indirectly introducinga border between the visible and the invisible, the latent and themanifest, the form and the essence. If cognition is not only mediatedbut also distorted by a potential illusion – whether linguistic or visual– then the very process of perception seems inevitably contaminated bya strong sense, if not of cognitive uneasiness, then at least of perceptiveuncertainty. Seen in these terms, the gesture of distrust, which thenotion of camouflage inevitably includes, announces the return ofrigid cultural divisions between the inside and the outside, divisionsthat a large number of post-modern and post-structuralist claims havemanaged to first theorize and then deconstruct, rendering our culturallandscape always-already open to transparent debate and open-endedevolution.
