Książka Narracje fantastyczne pod wspólną redakcją Kseni Olkusz i Krzysztofa M. Maja jest piątym tomem serii „Perspektywy Ponowoczesności”, zbierającym na blisko siedmiuset stronach trzydzieści tekstów naukowych rozpatrujących szeroko pojętą fantastykę z perspektywy ponowoczesnej, transdyscyplinarnej i światocentrycznej zarazem. Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Anny Łebkowskiej (Uniwersytet Jagielloński): Tom „Narracje fantastyczne” to zbiór studiów poświęconych ważnym współczesnym zjawiskom obecnym w literaturze, filmie, grach komputerowych i szeroko rozumianym świecie kultury. Wśród jego wielu zalet wymienić należy na pierwszym miejscu opracowanie mocnych podstaw teoretycznych. Autorzy podważają paradygmat tekstocentryczny i opisują zjawisko zwrotu światocentrycznego, przekonująco je udokumentowując. Przedstawione w tomie studia pozwalają nie tylko usytuować współczesne narracje fantastyczne na tle przemian światopoglądowych, teorii filozoficznych i kulturowych, ale zarazem ukazać ich wyraźne powiązania z namysłem nad ponowoczesnością. Książka zaleca się także – między innymi – ważnymi głosami na temat sporów wokół współczesnego kanonu fantastyki, rozważaniami poświęconymi figurze cyborga w świetle teorii posthumanistycznych czy zagadnieniu transfikcjonalności. Zgodnie z przyjętą ramą światocentryczną w osobnej części tomu znajdziemy studia na temat przestrzeni: głównie miasta i społeczeństwa, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem problemu utopii, a także rozprawy, których autorzy skoncentrowali się na kwestiach temporalnych (tu m.in. historie alternatywne). Rozległe spektrum badanych problemów dopełnione zostało przez – poparte gruntownymi analizami – interpretacje zjawisk obecnych w wielu mediach. Należy z całym przekonaniem stwierdzić, że tom oddawany do rąk czytelnika stanowi cenną inicjatywę badawczą.

The conference entitled Linguistic and Cultural Interactions – An Interdisciplinary Approach (TRANS-LINGUISTICA 3) is the third of a series of conferences launched in 2011 with the clear aim of creating tradition. It is a continuation from several points of view. The theoretical foundations have not changed: we are convinced that in the multicultural and plurilingual Europe, cultural interactions and multilingualism are true values. It is also our aim through the multilingual sections to create opportunities for presentations held in one of the traditional languages of Transylvania (Romanian, Hungarian, and German) as well as the possibility to engage in the European scientific discourse through the English language. The topics of the conference wish to ensure stability (foreign language teaching; mother-tongue language pedagogy; the theory and practice of translation; language use and language contact; linguistic and cultural interactions) and, at the same time, to create a flexible framework for the presentation of different research topics, of new methods, of transferring practical experience. Through the interdisciplinary approach, we also wish to emphasize the fact that our conference intends to be a forum for scientific dialogue between the representatives of the different disciplines.

There are a few topics considered in the monograph. One can distinguish among others: question of perimeters in artistic oeuvres, cultural phenomena of margin character and their manifestations in literature, main streams versus niche, different understanding of non/normativeness, interfusion, collages, nebulosity of genres, styles, discourses, changes of subject category (e.g. posthumanism, transhumanism). All of them could be treated as detrituses, remains, scraps as a new perspective of world description, expression of many system metamorphosis of artistic language, style and discourse.

"Far away and yet so near" is a metaphoric title that somehow defines all the collected texts. It embraces what is here and now as well as what seems distinctive, imperishable and… essential? Even if not – still important and inseparable. All of the discussed writers – Konwicki, Kuncewiczowa, Stojowski, Vincenz, Hemar, Wierzyński, Filipowicz, Pavel – are without a doubt virtuosos, who undertook a breakneck task of engraving their pivotal, fundamental experiences in literature. The collection includes essays sharing a clearly determined theme – autobiographic works of writers, who experienced war, occupation, Eastern Polish and Galician myths, as well as post-war political turmoil – including Stalinism, social realism and the Polish thaw. The inclusion of the trope of angling, present in the writings of Kornel Filipowicz and Ota Pavel, an exceptional author from the Czech Republic, may come as a surprise. It is easy to underestimate its importance, but the theme is by no means trivial. The moments of solitude in the wild, with a fishing rod as a sole companion, were cherished times of escape from the war trauma.

As Stephen Greenblatt claims The Tempest summarizes all major preoccupations of other plays: legitimate power is abolished, civilization is threatened by wilderness, discourse is besieged by the darkness of inarticulate sounds, and theatrical performance looms large as a metaphor of human life. It is the final play of a great master and hence one is tempted to venture a hypothe-sis that, perhaps Shakespeare’s Prospero, like Ulisses in the XI canto of Odysei, speaks to us from the other side, from a dark and mysterious island of the dead, and his theatre is the only way in which we could approach death in the epoch of broken rituals and general disenchantment. Thus, Prospero’s famous line at the end of the play “Our revels now are ended” declares not only the end of the time of performance but refers to a much wider, Kermodian, sense of ending.

The aim of the book is to analyze the political conceptions of the monthly“Kultura” in the period since its creation antil 1980. The magazine, whichstarted coming out in 1947 in Italy, was created by expatriate Poles, who afterthe Yalta Agreements chose to stay in the West. The editorial board soonmoved to France where on the outskirts of Paris in the small town of Maisons-Laffitte the monthly journal has been edited ever since. Thanks to the originalprofile of the magazine and its political philosophy it has managed to grouparound itself numerous outstanding Polish writers and commentators, boththose active in the emigré communities and those living in Poland. AlsoWestern authors as well as writers and commentators from other countries inCentral and Eastern Europe published their texts on the magazine’s pages.In spite of “Kultura’s” illustrious successes and unique accomplishments,earlier research on its history has hot moved beyond its initial stage. Inpublications devoted to the phenomenon of “Kultura” we may encountercontradictory ideological qualifications and opinions on the magazine’spolitical profile. This is a consequence of the fact that there is a painful lackof source materials and books analyzing the accomplishments of “Kultura”from a longterm perspective. This book aims to fill out this gap by analyzinga period of over thirty years in the history of the periodical. An attempt ismade to divide this history into periods on the basis of ideological and politicalcriteria. A further aim is to define the style of political thinking dominant inthe materials published in the periodical and to characterize it against thebackground of earlier political debates in pre-war Poland. The adopteddiachronic perspective and the wide spectrum of analyzed phenomena willprovide the basis for an assessment of which conceptions and ideologicalelements and values were constantly present in the political platform of theeditors and which made only a temporary appearance in connection with thepolitical sympathies of the periodical or the changing circumstances on theworld scene. It should be added that this is the first book on the subject totruly cover the comprehensive research material and to analyze the politicaltrends in “Kultura” from a long-term perspective.The main thesis of the book may be formulated(excerpt from the summary)

Publication ”To Tell a Story. Polish Contemporary Dramaturgy after 2006” is an attempt to analyse the historical narratives in the newest Polish theatre and drama. Starting from the classical canon of memory studies, shaped by researchers such as Pierre Nora, Marianne Hirsch, Jan and Aleida Assmann or Maurice Halbwachs, young theatre researchers look at methods, reasons, aims and effects of including historical and memory narratives into performances and dramas. Due to the variety of research approaches and topics undertaken by both the authors of articles and theatre artists, the issue of telling the history in Polish theatre and drama was treated in a cross-sectional area. The book deals with the themes of peasant stories, stories related to the place (memory spaces), memory transfers between generations, or feminist revision of history, among others. Using examples of selected dramatic texts and plays (not only representing dramatic theatre, but also musical, puppet or physical theatre), the dramaturgical conventions and narrative strategies employed by theatre makers that influence the construction of stories about the past are analysed.

The monograph explores a very little researched but extremely important issue of teaching Polish to students with special educational needs.

The play launches an important debate about the roles and functions of teachers, about teaching practices and the need to update them to the digital era and its implications, about the integration of children with special education needs, about the increasingly problematic relationships between parents and teachers, about the ever-present bureaucracy, about the system. Education is seen as an ongoing struggle for authority. The play was developed following an elaborate research and documentation process. For several months, playwright Mihaela Michailov and theatre director Radu Apostol, interviewed dozens of teachers, education specialists, school inspectors, representatives from the Ministry of Education and theorists, to understand in depth the complexity of the problems they face and the solutions that can be activated.

The book is the first scientific publication, which describes how Polish language users relate communication activities and what place in their relations is taken by the definition of their modality, i.e. the voice, looks, mimics, gestures, movement and body postures. The results of the research were obtained through analysis of the corpus data from the experimental corpus devised by the author, which allows for correlating in one database the recordings of communication activities (the interaction scenes from silent and sound documentaries from thearchives of Lodz Film School) and the relations of more than one hundred people who differ in age, gender and education.

The author offers an analysis of such a seemingly elusive thing as the description of the atmosphere of the source text in the target text. This task has led, relatively recently, to the formulation of perfunctory and subjective remarks that had nothing, or very little, to do with scientific inquiry, since there existed no specialized linguistic means to create and reproduce the author’s imagery that creates literary atmosphere. However, this publication has managed to avoid this danger thanks to the proposals of cognitive scientists. The starting point is the belief that writers — having only linguistic signs at their disposal — create images that remain fixed before the readers’ eyes. Part I describes the cognitive poetics tools for analyzing a literary work and its translation. Part II, on the other hand, focuses on the application of these “tools” to translations of experienced translators [into English, French, Polish and Russian] and a critical commentary on the result of their work.
