„Utracone” i „odzyskane”. O dwóch wierszach Floriana Śmiei

Author(s): Marian Kisiel / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Defining the subtle shades of nostalgia in the works of writers in exile, the author of the article discusses the category of venerable poetry by Florian Śmieja in the broad context (inter alia, of works by Adam Zagajewski, Czesław Miłosz, Zofia Bohdanowiczowa or Tadeusz Śliwiak). Employing the example of two poems, titled Ziemie utracone [The Lost Lands] and Spóźniona arka [The Late Ark], he shows the rescuing power of “sublime yearning” in the works of the poet, who has lived in Canada for many years.

Author(s): Alicja Jakubowska‑Ożóg / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

A common theme of Zambrzycka’s poems is the problem of bidding farewell, leaving, deserting. The authoress of the article has made the repeated forms of expression as well as the imagery indicating these borderline experiences the focal points of her text. The motifs present in the poems centre around the following issues and topics: the recurrence of portraits of relatives preserved in the memory of the lyrical “I”, the role of objects in the process of remembering, and the function of voice and silence in experiencing one’s absence.

Pochwała wyobraźni. O Dialogu w ciemności Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Ewa Bartos / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In his entire poetic career, only once did Władysław Sebyła reach for the charactersof Don Quixote and Hamlet. These two literary characters hold a conversation with each other in Sebyła’s Dialog w ciemności (A Dialogue in the Dark). In their conversation, they engage in a philosophical dialogue concerning the role of the word in the creation of a linguistic image of the world, as well as its influence on the extralingual reality. Thus, the following article constitutes an attempt at interpreting a literary credo of the poet from the lines of the poem, as well as an attempt at highlighting the importance of imagination in the creation of poetry and extralingual reality.

Nocte ludos, czyli nocne zawody. Wokół nokturnu 7 Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Jan Piotrowiak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Sebyła’s nocturne designated in the cycle as number sever (7) can be easily inscribed into the imagery of the night and the accompanying images of parvor nocturnus. It is the only poem in the cycle which emphasizes the exposition of the subject’s activity, giving primacy to the first-person monologue of the subject, the agent of a nighttime competition with an angel (God). Moreover, it is the only poem in this cycle which clearly hints at autobiographical context – familial gestures or celebration of remembrance. The nocturnal tale spun by Sebyła focuses on an event which originates in the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with an Angel, while at the same time revisiting (reinterpreting) its sense and message. Into this poetic somnambulia of a personal, particular, biographical (that of the unequal wrestling competition between the new Jacob and God) scope, the author inscribed an account of universal experiences – the incidental nature of human disposition, the fragility of the human condition, the loneliness of existence. The poet seems to tell his reader that it is necessary to accept a difficult, asymmetrical partnership and nonequivalent relations and thus tame our mundane spiritual orphanage.

Bezsenność Sebyły

Author(s): Joanna Kisiel / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Various interpretations of Sebyła’s poetry constantly emphasize the nocturnal dominant of his works. Darkness and night constitute the usual settings in Sebyła’s poems,as well as the central categories of his poetic imagination. The following article points to a hitherto undiscovered possibility of reading this nocturnal poetry in the context of the notion of sleeplessness, as an account of the torment of the body and mind deprived of sleep. In Sebyła’s poetry, sleepless vigilance exposes the absurdity of existence and the longing for a reprieve from the nightmare of being. The night, overwhelmed with waking consciousness, does away with individuality; instead, it can be characterized by its universal, anonymous, cosmic dimension. The experience of sleeplessness in Sebyła’s poetry, similarly to Emmanuel Lévinas’s theories, reveals the tragic nature of life, caused not so much by the fear of death, but rather by the dread of being, the terror of one’s existence.

Bóg w poezji Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Katarzyna Niesporek-Klanowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article aims to discuss the various images of God present in the poetry of Władysław Sebyła. The poet, struggling with doubt, creates deeply multifaceted images of God. In his poetry, the Creator is present and absent, strong and weak, saintly and human. Sebyła, attempting to fight his lack of faith, assumes in his poetry the stance of a subject searching for something, striving to comprehend the sphere of metaphysics. In his relations with God, in turn, he attempts to define Him and understand his nature.

Władysława Sebyły rozpoznawanie swego czasu. Ujęcie kerygmatyczne

Author(s): Adam Regiewicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The transition to modernity, which takes place at the end of the nineteenth century, is accompanied by a cultural paradigm shift. It is manifested by the phenomenon of desacralization, against which the modern man takes two attitudes: nihilist and socialist. This moment is captured and illustrated in Władyslaw Sebyła’s poetry, where two ways to participate in the world are shown, the attitude of an engineer and a rat catcher. At the same time the poet observes helplessness of these social structures against questions about the meaning of life. Described in this way, the situation of a cultural crisis is a good moment to proclaim the Good News, which the poet recognizes in the love of another human being.

Za mundurem… Wokół Junkra Władysława Sebyły

Author(s): Miłosz Piotrowiak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the article, the author utilizes the vestimental discourse in order to analyze one of Sebyła’s poems. These tropes are, in a sense, suggested by the author himself, since the entire lyrical cycle entitled Pieśni szczurołapa (Songs of the Rat Catcher) is permeated by descriptions of articles of clothing understood as important attributes of the characters. In this context, the military equipment is imbued with symbolic significance which intertwines with the other articles of clothing enclosed in a lyrical cabinet of curiosities. The author analyzes those sartorial choices in several categories: cleanliness and dirtiness, understatement and opulence, devilish contrariness and soldierly virtue, etc. In this way, the author constructs an analysis in which Junker (The Cadet) is revealed to belong to a larger whole, while that lyrical complex cannot be fully understood without it.

Макбет / Macbeth / Двуезично издание

Author(s): William Shakespeare / Language(s): English,Bulgarian

Shakespeare’s Macbeth is the fourth book of the new bilingual library "English Poetic Classics" by the East-West Publishing House. The bilingual format of this library provides readers with the opportunity to get deeper into the subtleties of the text regarding some of the most valuable works of English literature by comparing original text and its translation, and also to get into the specifics of poetic translation of classical works. In 1603, James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne, becoming James I of England. London was alive with an interest in all things Scottish, and Shakespeare turned to Scottish history for material. He found a spectacle of violence and stories of traitors advised by witches and wizards, echoing James’s belief in a connection between treason and witchcraft. In depicting a man who murders to become king, Macbeth teases us with huge questions. Is Macbeth tempted by fate, or by his or his wife’s ambition? Why does their success turn to ashes? Like other plays, Macbeth speaks to each generation. Its story was once seen as that of a hero who commits an evil act and pays an enormous price. Recently, it has been applied to nations that overreach themselves and to modern alienation. The line is blurred between Macbeth’s evil and his opponents’ good, and there are new attitudes toward both witchcraft and gender.

The bilingual format of this library provides readers with the opportunity to get deeper into the subtleties of the text regarding some of the most valuable works of English literature by comparing original text and its translation, and also to get into the specifics of poetic translation of classical works. In Othello, Shakespeare creates powerful drama from a marriage between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona that begins with elopement and mutual devotion and ends with jealous rage and death. Shakespeare builds many differences into his hero and heroine, including race, age, and cultural background. Yet most readers and audiences believe the couple’s strong love would overcome these differences were it not for Iago, who sets out to destroy Othello. Iago’s false insinuations about Desdemona’s infidelity draw Othello into his schemes, and Desdemona is subjected to Othello’s horrifying verbal and physical assaults.

L’absurde dans le théâtre Dada et présurréaliste français

Author(s): Mariana Kunešová / Language(s): French

The publication focuses on the absurd in the French Dada and pre-surrealist theatre, examining the scenical potential of three texts which have, until now, remained practically unexplored: “La Premiere aventure celeste de Mr. Antipyrine” by T. Tzara, “Les Mysteres de l’amour” by R. Vitrac, and “S’il vous plait” by A. Breton and P. Soupault. The author understands the absurd as an aesthetic category applicable to theatre analysis in general – contrary to the “Theatre of the absurd”, a concept suggested by M. Esslin in order to characterize the avant-garde of the 1950s and often criticized for its lack of precision. The conclusion evaluates Esslin's contribution to the study of the absurd in theatre.

Tremendismo: el sabor amargo de la vida: Tras las huellas de la estética tremendista en la narrativa española del siglo XX

Author(s): Athena Alchazidu / Language(s): Spanish

Tremendism is one of the most peculiar phenomena that appeared on the Spanish cultural scene in the 20th century. Its origin at the beginning of the 1940s had been accompanied with several polemics that have gradually faded out. Tremendism appeared along with a new literary group, the so called Generation of 36, whose literary works influenced the later development of the Spanish narrative. A greater revival of interest in this issue took place only much later, especially in the 1990s after Camilo Jose Cela, the leading representative of tremendism, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. At the same time, new writers from the Generation X published their tremendist novels. This monograph is a contribution to the academic discussion on tremendism as a literary phenomenon.

New Normal Beyond The Pandemic: Pandemiyle Birlikte Yerelden Küresele Yabancılaşmayı Yeniden

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish,English

The Covid-19 crisis, with all the horrors it has caused, has offered humanity an opportunity to reflect on itself and evaluate its point, even if it is delayed. In a very short time, we found ourselves worried about whether we could reach the objects we needed, whether we would lose our jobs or keep our freedom.Alienation is described as withdrawing or separation of a person or a person’s affections from an object or position of former attachment: alienation viewed as a sense of detachment from the values of one’s society, family, and even from one’s own feelings from the values of one’s society and family (S. L. Halleck). Different forms of alienation, such as cultural alienation, professional alienation, and religious alienation, are among the current issues. It is obvious that we need to define different forms of alienation along with the pandemic.I believe this book will not be the first nor the last research book published on the Covid-19 pandemic. Our aim is to leave a resource on the subject for the next generation of researchers. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the book and hope it will be beneficial for the academic community.

Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture and Arts

Author(s): / Language(s): English

“Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture, and Arts” explores the tapestry of violence across diverse forms of artistic expression, expertly edited by Sümeyra Buran, Mahinur Akşehir, Neslihan Köroğlu, and Barış Ağır. From the gripping introduction to the thought-provoking chapters contributed by an array of scholars, this collection navigates the multifaceted dimensions of violence. Muhsin Yanar’s exploration of Don DeLillo’s work calls for a posthumanist stance against violence, while Begüm Tuğlu Atamer questions the justification of violence in Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” The anthology expands its reach, examining slow violence in John Burnside’s “Glister” (Derya Biderci Dinç), portraying environmental violence in Bilge Karasu’s “Hurt Me Not” (Özlem Akyol), and unraveling psychological violence in Kate Chopin’s stories (Senem Üstün Kaya). Contributors delve into theatre violence (Gamze Şentürk Tatar), indigenous struggles against violence in Cheran, Mexico (Kristy L. Masten), Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” (Derya Oruç) and the complex interplay of power in Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange” (Şebnem Düzgün). The anthology also explores the contested space of the Black queer body (Taylor Ajowele Duckett), Nietzschean aggression (Yunus Tuncel), and various forms of violence in Giovanni Verga’s short stories (Simone Pettine). “Shades of Violence” emerges as an indispensable exploration of violence’s nuanced manifestations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding through its diverse and insightful perspectives.
