Славянофильский подтекст романа А. Платонова «Чевенгур»

Author(s): Aleksandr Dyrdin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2006

The article discusses the philosophic Platonov’s novel "Chevengur" and analyzes the position of this writer as the successor to Slavophiles, since Slavophile views in the novel are presented in various contexts whose logical connection is different. Like Slavophiles, A. Platonov seeks to reveal the objective essence of the world, combining nature and spirituality. The writer's worldview contacts Slavophilic views in his efforts to distinguish between the Russian type of the fugitive of the truth, which accumulated the faith "as a power of mind" (A. Chomiakov). In the novel Chevengur A. Platonov portrayed various manifestations of the national character and developed a generalized image of the Russian Orthodox Church. The author of the article assumes that the concept of the unique spiritual concept of the Russian people and culture mission can be described, albeit not fully, by the creative philosophy of Platonov.

Literackie (kraj)obrazy Jane Austen a angielska estetyka malowniczości

Author(s): Sylwia Borowska-Kazimiruk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

The main inspiration for the article dedicated to aesthetics of picturesqueness in Jane Austen’s novels is W. J. T. Mitchell’s Introduction in Landscape and Power, where he defines a landscape not as a noun, but as a verb. In this context, this term becomes a cultural medium, by which the new political and social meanings of the epoch are transmitted and sanctioned. Selected parts of Austen’s works, in which long descriptions of nature have been replaced by dialogues about a landscape as an artistic, picturesque object, will allow to describe the consequences of the reconceptualization of the nature within English theory of aesthetics.

Jane Austen (dla) Josepha Conrada

Author(s): Karol Samsel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

The understanding of Jane Austen was for Joseph Conrad (probably) the condition of the understanding of the English soul as such. And, even if we roam around fascinating hypotheses, it is worth formulating them – mainly because they are a new key to the reading of the works of the author of Lord Jim. His problems with the literary heritage of Austen could be affected by different, numerous factors: 1) the growing popularity of Janeites; 2) the authority of, appreciating the author of Mansfield Park, Henry James; 3) the feeling of being lost of the Polish writer in the situation of the late novelist debut; 4) the literary tradition of the Ukrainian School in the Polish Romanticism, in which he was raised and he formed his personality. Conrad could make an attempt of dealing with, incomprehensible for himself, Austen in the 1910s, in the period of jubilees of the editions of her novels. In this spirit, it is worthy to read again such prose texts of Conrad, as: Zwycięstwo (1915) and Ocalenie (1920), but above all – the earliest from this group – Gra losu (1913).

Jak znaleźć męża między żywymi trupami a krwiożerczymi ośmiornicami? Mash-up, czyli „klasyczne romanse z okresu regencji” z domieszką elementów nadnaturalnych (na przykładzie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies oraz Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

Author(s): Iwona Przybysz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

The author also describes how the development of the new motives affects the ways of describing the world of the novel and its characters.

Teoria, nostalgia, alt-right: amerykańska Austen w XXI wieku

Author(s): Mikołaj Golubiewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

In July 2017, some American scholars accused alt-right groups of appropriating Jane Austen’s works for extreme-right propaganda. How could Austen’s texts – an author associated with the beginnings of feminism – be used by blatant misogynists? This clash of perceptions reveals a dispute between Austen’s broad reception as classically romantic romances and a whole range of narrow theoretical academic readings. In the analysis of this dispute, the paper outlines long-lasting threads of Austen’s interpretation in AngloAmerican culture, whose ideological reconstruction of the last few decades clashes with a nostalgia for imperial order.

Поэтика романа В. Ф. Одоевского «Русские ночи»: интермедиальный аспект

Author(s): Ilya A. Kachkov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2021

The article presents an intermedial analysis of V. F. Odoevsky’s novel Russian Nights. The analysis aims to identify the methods of including visual and audial media in the verbal printed text medium. A deliberately created experimental work served as material for the research. V. F. Odoevsky’s philosophical universalism extended to his aesthetic views, as evidenced by his articles and treatises. He believed in the emergence of a new art, which would be a synthesis of all arts, and tried to bring it to life on his own. In terms used by Western intermediality theorists, the novel Russian Nights did not combine different kinds of art, but adapted visual and audial channels of information transmission to create vivid mental images and a sense of acoustic presence. Odoevsky rendered visual images through ekphrasis, i.e. verbal representation of visual representation, and through the use of literary pictorialism, in which the very reality of the artistic world presented itself to the reader in the form of a painting. The transmission of audial information occurs on three levels. Firstly, it is the level of verbal description — when the author wanted to present the readers with reflections about music, rather than music itself. Secondly, it is the level of references to real musical works — the partial reproduction mechanism switched on, and the reader could get an insight into the acoustic component from the name of a composition alone. Thirdly, it is the level of direct integration of an alien semiotic system — musical notation, when the author needed to represent a small fragment of a musical work as accurately as possible. Thus, Odoevsky tried to realize the romantic idea of an integrated art and create an intermedial novel.

Рецепция романа Ф. М. Достоевского в турецкой литературе XX–XXI веков

Author(s): Leyla Shener / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2021

F. M. Dostoevsky is one of the most prominent figures in the history of world culture and literature, whose work has had a strong influence on writers from different countries. The article examines the reception of F. M. Dostoevsky’s creative heritage in Turkish literature of the 20th and 21s centuries. The main translations of his works into Turkish from the 1920s to the present are noted, Turkish translators and researchers who studied the work of the Russian writer are named. The article provides an overview of the works of leading Turkish writers (P. Safa, S. Ali, A. H. Tanpinar, S. Agaoglu, D. Ozlu, V. O. Bener, B. Karasu, O. Atay, R. Ozdenoren, O. Pamuk, L. Tekin, M. Mungan, etc.) that reflect the ideas and images of F. M. Dostoevsky. The influence of his novels on Turkish literature was reflected in the similarity of themes, problems, ideas, motifs, images, narrative style, ways of depicting reality in the works of Turkish writers, especially at the level of artistic insight into tragic life collisions, universal values, human mental life, features and motifs of his behavior, as well as in the development of the novel as a genre. Master’s and doctoral dissertations of Turkish researchers, scientific articles, monographs, publications in journals, interviews with Turkish writers were used as sources of research.

Архетипические константы и трансформации русского романа

Author(s): Irina Belyaeva,Elzbieta Tyszkowska-Kasprzak / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2021

The article examines the correlation of the Russian classic novel with the Easter archetype dominant in Russian culture. The authors believe that the novel assumed a central position in the genre system of 19th century Russian literature, not only because of its natural openness, which allowed it to recreate life and man both in the general dimension and in private manifestations, but also because of the greatest responsiveness of this genre to the spiritual needs of Russian culture. The article examines the “plot space” of the Russian novel, which gravitates towards the archetypal model, actualizing the scenario of rehabilitation (Dostoevsky) / awakening (Goncharov), or salvation. Not only doesn’t the hero’s line in the Russian novel imply an end; moreover, as it lines up vertically, it suggests his rebirth to a “new life,” sometimes even posthumous, as was the case with Turgenev’s Bazarov, or through the fear of falling into the hellish abyss of modern life, as is it was with Oblomov. Using the example of novels by F. Dostoevsky, I. Turgenev, I. Goncharov and L. Tolstoy, the article demonstrates that the main mission of the hero of the Russian novel was that of personal salvation, the achievement of “new happiness” (Prince Andrei Bolkonsky), which is associated with forgiveness, a willingness to accept God and with the “new life.” The Easter nature of Russian culture predetermines the gravitation of the Russian classical novel (as a typological variety of the Russian novel) to the artistic realizations of the idea of salvation present in world literature in genres of a non-novel nature. The Russian novel primarily developed the storylines and motifs that originated in Dante’s Divine Comedy and Goethe’s Faust, which suggested two options for personal salvation: the awareness of sins and “behind the door of the grave.” The second option was more relevant for the 19th century Russian novel. The savior hero, rooted in Cervantes’s novel, was also relevant for Russian literature, although not as popular. Taking into account the complex explorations of modern writers in the field of the novel genre, the authors conclude that there is a present-day connection with the Russian classic novel, i.e., in E. Vodolazkin’s prose: apparent signs of a “Dante plot” are present in the novel Lavr. Regardless of all the metamorphoses, the Russian classical novel is still a national literary model in the space of Russian culture.

Tijelo i identitet u stvaralaštvu Senke Marić

Author(s): Melida Travančić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2021

Senka Marić, in her book of poetry Do smrti naredne and in her novel Kintsugi tijela, focuses on the body, i.e. the analysis and interpretation of changes in the body caused by illness. The aim of this paper is to confirm the assumption that the body can condition identity and show how this is achieved in the book of poetry Do smrti naredne and the novel Kintsugi tijela, works which best show what kind of change in the body and then female identity we are talking about. These works tell a story about the changes that take place in a woman and the manner that they manifest in the world around her. The changes in the body condition all other “life roles” of a woman and it is the best indicator of (self-)identification. Special attention in the paper is paid to the way the illness affects the body, to what a woman (before and after) is. The body itself is a part of identity and it often physically reflects all the experiences and all the situations that we are exposed to are often visibly manifested on the body, as well as the pain that is impossible to hide and (or) control.

Особенности перевода русских субстандартных фразеологизмов на польский язык (на материале произведений Александры Марининой)

Author(s): Gabriela Wilk / Language(s): Russian Issue: 175/2021

The article focuses on selected aspects of the translation into Polish of Russian phraseological units that are beyond the linguistic norm. The research material has been excerpted from two Alexandra Marinina’s detective novels Requiem and Unwilling Killer and their translations by Alexandra Stronka. The research findings indicate that Stronka most often translates sub-standard phraseological units by means of idioms based on a different image, or lexemes, but these units not frequently differ from the original units in terms of expressive and stylistic colouring.

Theater and theatricality in their relation to history and the arts in the novels of Vlafimir Sharov

Author(s): Amina Gabrielova / Language(s): English Issue: 173/2021

Vladimir Sharov (1952–2018), a distinguished contemporary Russian writer, published nine quasi historical novels. Each of his novels suggests a different semi-fantastical version of Russian history that is locked into continuing cycles or — to use Sharov’s preferred word — “rehearsals” of violence. Theater and performance are a recurring theme in Sharov’s prose. In Before and During [До и во время], one of the main characters is Alexander Scriabin. In The Rehearsals [Репетиции] Patriarch Nikon orders a play — a mystery-play about Easter — in which the amateur peasant actors are assigned roles from the Bible and replay these roles for generations. In Should Not I Spare [Мне ли не пожалеть], the opening section shows characters participating in Chekhov’s plays, and the main part of the narration tells the story of staging an oratorio. In the last two novels, several of the protagonists are theater directors. This article argues that for Sharov, theater is an apt metaphor for history and a basic ontological principle, because theater is an experience that can be documented but is never reproduced in exactly the same form. The article examines how Sharov brings out the power of the playwright, director, and actor to implement multiple and different scripts and life stories. Life and art in his works imitate each other through a constant multiplication of versions or rehearsals — “rehearsals” in its expanded sense as reinterpretations, revisions, rewritings, and continuations.

Kolejka Władimira Sorokina w polskim przekładzie

Author(s): Jakub Bober / Language(s): Polish Issue: 172/2020

The article puts forward the translation issues of the linguistic phenomenon in Vladimir Sorkin’s novel The Queue. It analyzes the non-standard phenomena which constitutes a big challenge for the translator. The reasons behind this state of affairs should be sought within a selection of unconventional means of expression which revolutionized the perception of literature and its translation. Some excerpts of the novel are an attempt to provide an answer as to what degree the translator has managed to successfully portray the novel’s connotation in Polish with analogical linguistic measures.

Śmieciowa codzienność konsumenta. Powieść Wiktora Pielewina Generation „Π” w świetle teorii płynnej ponowoczesności Zygmunta Baumana

Author(s): Bożena Żejmo / Language(s): Polish Issue: 170/2020

The purpose of the article is to analyze the novel by Victor Pelevin Generation “P” in the context of the theory of “fluid modernity” of the Polish philosopher and sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. Both the Russian writer and the Polish scholar point out the negative effects of the modern — unusually flexible, fluid, free from borders and conditions — commercial civilization on a person’s daily life, his mentality, value system, self-identification and self-esteem.

What is to be done? by Nikolai Chernyshevsky. An attempt at “non-revolutionary” interpretation

Author(s): Grzegorz Przebinda / Language(s): English Issue: 170/2020

Geneza powieści Co robić? jest ściśle powiązana z faktem, w jaki sposób sam Czernyszewski pojmował rolę literatury w procesie historycznym. Literatura, jego zdaniem, winna być pośredniczką między nauką a życiem, wypełniając poniekąd rolę „służki nauki i historii”. Artystyczna fabuła stanowiła zatem dla autora jedynie punkt wyjścia do demonstracji idei z zakresu etyki i ekonomii. W sferze etycznej nauczycielami Czernyszewskiego byli myśliciele francuskiego Oświecenia i Niemiec Ludwig Feuerbach, którzy głosili idee „rozumnego egoizmu”. W dziedzinie ekonomicznej Czernyszewski szedł śladami dwóch kontynuatorów francuskiego Oświecenia – Ch. Fouriera i K. Owena, którzy w drugiej połowie XIX w. głosili i wcielali w życie zasady socjalistycznych stowarzyszeń. Wszyscy zaś powyżsi myśliciele, których Czernyszewski uważał za swoich nauczycieli, byli przeciwnikami walki klas i społecznych buntów. I właśnie w takim duchu rozumnego egoizmu i utopijnego socjalizmu, a jednocześnie w duchu nierewolucyjnym myślą i działają wszyscy czterej główni bohaterowie Co robić?: Wiera Pawłowna, Kirsanow, Łopuchow i Rachmietow. Jak mówił sam Czernyszewski, „komu podoba się furieryzm, temu komunizm się nie spodoba”. Czernyszewski jako „oświeciciel”, występując przeciwko wszelkiej ideologicznej stagnacji i rutynie, głosząc nowe antropologiczne, etyczne i ekonomiczne idee, nigdy wszelako nie pragnął wcielać w ich w życie przy pomocą „egoizmu” klasowego”, ani tym bardziej „walki klas”.

Образ коллекционера в романе Михаила Шишкина Взятие Измаила

Author(s): Anna Skotnicka / Language(s): Russian Issue: 168/2019

The article is dedicated to the problem of the collector in Mikhail Shishkin’s novel The Taking of Izmail. Using the works by Krzysztof Pomian and Walter Benjamin, the author establishes that the term “collector” refers rather to the author and the narrator of the novel than to its main character. In the article, collecting is regarded as the attitude towards the world and is considered in the context of the main traits of Shishkin’s works, among which the author identifies longing for wholeness resulting from the experience of fragmentation of the world, palimpsestic nature, and intertextuality.

Mogarycz i inni. Dramatyczne losy kanonu tekstowego Mistrza i Małgorzaty

Author(s): Grzegorz Przebinda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 167/2019

The starting point for my reflections, which ultimately aim to bring researchers and readers closer to the issue of the textual canon of The Master and Margarita, is the problem of the presence or absence of the famous passage about Mogarych in Chapter Thirteen of the novel. I have tried to demonstrate that the presence of this passage in the first Polish translation by Irena Lewandowska and Witold Dąbrowski, as well as its omission in the second translation by Andrzej Drawicz, are textologically justified. This is due to the fact that translators used different original editions as the basis of their work. My study, which is the first of the planned longer cycle, ends with a discussion of the most recent version of the text of The Master and Margarita, put forward in 2014–2015 by the indefatigable researcher of Bulgakov archives — Elena Kolysheva.

Bułhakow zmanipulowany, czyli o „fachowym i wybitnym” przekładzie Mistrza i Małgorzaty

Author(s): Aleksander Wawrzyńczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 167/2019

The main aim of this article is the analysis of the new translation into Polish the Mikhail Bulgakov’s masterpiece, The Master and Margarita made by Barbara Dochnalik and published in 2018. This edition also includes two interpreter’s afterwards. Both texts are full of controversial facts about the writer’s biography, even more, the majority of them are not proved with the documents about Bulgakov’s life and the story of the creation of his novel. Some interpretations of several motifs of The Master and Margarita, made by Dochnalik, are questionable, too. But the main doubts are caused by the way of translation and its quality. The translation made by Dochnalik includes some fragments, which were not written by Bulgakov and highly likely were put into the Polish text of the novel by the translator, probably to prove her own interpretation of The Master and Margarita. This article shows the most ridiculous samples of the translator’s manipulations with the Bulgakov’s novel, which could be called scandalous.
