"A ja zapisywałem siebie” – o Dzienniku Mieczysława Jastruna

"A ja zapisywałem siebie” – o Dzienniku Mieczysława Jastruna

Author(s): Joanna Kosturek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

The author of the sketch reads the Diary as a work behind the origin of which there is a sense of disappearance of life in the passing time, typical for Mieczysław Jastrun. In the context, the diary – filled, among others, with a register of small, everyday activities – seems to be a record through which Jastrun attempts to defy the nothingness and preserve his individual existence. The recording of everyday life is, however, not enough to fulfill this task on its own. Formulating remarks on Jastrun’s attempts to record his own existence and consciousness, the author references a text by Georges Gusdorf, in which the French philosopher discusses the goals and assumptions of autobiography, such as: creation of a coherent outline of one’s fortunes, interpretation and understanding of events and experiences of life, discovery of the truth of one’s own personality. Smuga światła [Streak of Light] is surely such a record. The uniqueness of individual consciousness is, however, expressed most fully in Jastrun’s metaphorical images, found not only in his poetry but also in the Diary and the Streak of Light. The author of the sketch, referencing and juxtaposing specific fragments of Jastrun’s poems, autobiography and diary, reads the meanings and connotations of one of these images – a beautiful woman entering a house – simultaneously showing the coherence of the subject’s imagination and sensitivity. Tracking of these distinctive images in the poet’s works and decyphering of their meanings resembles exploration of a “self” having a specific identity included in the texts. These images encompass an interpretation of the subject’s existence, express its distinctive metaphysical convictions, whereas their repeatability and permanency constitute the subject’s identity, preserving its existence in the volatile time.

"All my sour-sweet days I will lament and love" – a comparative analysis of metaphors with the basic taste adjectives in Polish and English

"All my sour-sweet days I will lament and love" – a comparative analysis of metaphors with the basic taste adjectives in Polish and English

Author(s): Marta Helena Falkowska,Magdalena Zawisławska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2018

This paper provides a comparative analysis of verbal synesthetic metaphors with the basic taste adjectives in Polish and English: słodki/sweet, gorzki/bitter, kwaśny/sour, słony/salty. Since taste seems to be an ideal candidate for a universal, biologically determined source of metaphors, the authors seek to verify the hypothesis of metaphor embodiment. The corpus-based analysis of nominal phrases with basic Polish and English taste adjectives indicates that cultural influences on the metaphorical mapping, as well as the importance of the target conceptual domains, must be taken into account.

"Bez tytułu i daty". O „szkicowniku myśli” Piotra Szewca

Author(s): Grażyna Maroszczuk / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The subject of the article is notes by Piotr Szewc entitled "Bez tytułu i daty", published in “Kwartalnik Artystyczny” in the column of varia entitled "Z powodu i bez powodu". The sketchbook privacy is marked by writer’s mental state, the sense of an obvious bond with the events of a special personal meaning, discretely including notes into the area of emotion reactions. The author , being aware of the gaps of a memoirist form makes an attempt to order himself and drafts thoughts in his non-fulfillment, as well as fills in intuitions of the events reconstructed after years that are intensively close to him. A reflection on the past, that, according to the author is worth remembering, because otherwise, it would get lost without taking care of a tiny detail memory sticks to. Notes by Piotr Szewc point to a thematic dominance of the last achievements of the author of "Zagłada". The novel works are avoided here in favour of poetic and para-textual searches.

"Broń mnie przed sobą samym…" jako modlitwa i kontemplacja Boga

Author(s): Anita Całek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article proposes a new approach to read Mickiewicz’s poem "Broń mnie przed sobą samym…" [Defend Me Against Myself…] in the context of meditative prayer and demeanour of contemplating God. Recalling orthodox contexts such as negative theology (apophatic), Christology, the "Old" and the "New Testament", "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas à Kempis and the "Spiritual Exercises" by Ignatius Loyola, the author shows correlations between Mickiewicz’s poem and Catholic mysticism, offering a counterbalance to the existing interpretations (J. Kleiner, S. Makowski, I. Jokiel, J. Lyszczyna and others) focused on theosophical and heterodoxal themes predominantly.

"Cudzoziemka" Marii Kuncewiczowej czytana współcześnie – w stronę konsensualnej interpretacji tekstu literackiego

"Cudzoziemka" Marii Kuncewiczowej czytana współcześnie – w stronę konsensualnej interpretacji tekstu literackiego

Author(s): Magdalena Stoch / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2018

I present a new reading of the Maria Kuncewicz novel, entitled The Foreigner, with using postcolonial perspective and consensus as a form of moderated group process aimed at reaching agreement. The work is based on the premise that if the discussion of literary texts is to make sense, we must see in it a chance for a real change of reality. Postcolonial interpretations show the colonized identity as a process of continuous positioning, linked to the processes of trauma conversion, the internalization of prejudice, and the amplification of the pattern of violence. On the other hand, the consensus method shifts the focus from text to interpreting community which can really influence on the surrounding reality.

"Czytadło" Tadeusza Konwickiego – interpretacja po latach

Author(s): Anna Szóstak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is an attempt to reconsider and reread the novel by Tadeusz Konwicki from today’s point of view and by means of research tools that has not been applied so far to this type of text. A confrontation of its character with a changed reality of the surrounding world becomes an occasion to reflect on coming to terms with tradition and ideas as well as myths of the Romantic provenience or, in a word, the whole symbolic heritage of the past while for the writer himself, also with existing hierarchies and literary conventions. In such a perspective the novel by Konwicki turns out to be an addition and supplement of "Mała apokalipsa" whereas its convention an ironic and prophetic harbinger of a direction the Polish literature goes in totally different conditions and circumstances than before.

"Dos lid fun ojsgehargetn jidiszn folk" Jicchoka Kacenelsona jako forma autobiografii poety i narodu

"Dos lid fun ojsgehargetn jidiszn folk" Jicchoka Kacenelsona jako forma autobiografii poety i narodu

Author(s): Andrzej Pawelec,Magdalena Sitarz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Katsenelson’s Elegy – one of the most famous literary documents of the Shoah – was created in the Vittel internment camp, where the poet had been transported as part of ‘the Hotel Polski affair’. In this “last song of the last Jew” Katsenelson links his personal fate with the fate of the whole community, paying tribute to “the murdered Jewish people”. The authors focus on the mythopoetic aspect of the poem: on its goal – as a personal and national biography – to save the remnants of sense in an absolutely tragic and hopeless situation.

"Dziewczyna" i "Szewczyk" Bolesława Leśmiana w seriach translatorskich na języki czeski i słowacki

Author(s): Magdalena Supeł / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

A translation series reflects the tensions between the original and the translation, as well as between different translation solutions. The article discusses two Czech translations of Leśmian’s "Dziewczyna" and "Szewczyk" – Jan Pilař Děvče and Ševčík, and Vlasta Dvořácková Dívka and Švícko – and one Slovak translation: Juraj Andričik’s Dievča and Čižmárik. It concentrates on the shifts resulting from the different renditions of one particular element of the poetic system – metaphor.

Author(s): Jan Olaszek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2019

"Id", "ego" i deficyt superego w obrazie psychologicznym bohaterów powieści "Zazdrość i medycyna" Michała Choromańskiego

"Id", "ego" i deficyt superego w obrazie psychologicznym bohaterów powieści "Zazdrość i medycyna" Michała Choromańskiego

Author(s): Wiesław Setlak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2018

Id, ego and superego deficit in a psychological image of the protagonists of ″Jealousy and Medicine″ by Michał Choromański Jealousy and Medicine – a novel by Michał Choromański, published in 1933, evidently breaks out of the convention of psychological realism thriving on the achievements of behavioural psychology, dominant in the interwar period. Choromański’s work is an innovatory experiment on composition and thought; the world shown in the novel resembles a psychotic maligna or oneiric vision. The whole novel prompts interdisciplinary research using psychoanalysis of Sigismund Freud, Charles Mauron’s psychocritical method, being a transformation of classical Freudian psychoanalysis (with Otto Rank’s modifications), contemporary psychology of a creative process and the methodologies of psychological research which are accepted and occasionally used by contemporary literary studies. Choromański’s novel is deemed the most discerning studium of jealousy in interwar literature.

"Jeździec miedziany" Aleksandra Puszkina a "Ustęp" III części "Dziadów" Adama Mickiewicza : próba sumarycznego spojrzenia

"Jeździec miedziany" Aleksandra Puszkina a "Ustęp" III części "Dziadów" Adama Mickiewicza : próba sumarycznego spojrzenia

Author(s): Małgorzata Stachurka / Language(s): Polish Issue: VIII/2003

Медный всадник это плод второй болдинской осени (1833 г.). В статье дана попытка представления в сравнительном плане сумарного взгляда на Медного всадника и Отрывок III части Дзядов с обстоятельным использованием работ как польских исследо­ вателей (В. Спасович, Ю. Третьяк, В. Ледницкий, М. Якубец, С. Фишман, В. Кубацкий, Б. Гальстер и др.), так и русских (Д. Д, Благой, Б. П. Городецкий, Ю. Б. Борев, Н. А. Рябинина, Н. В. Измайлов, Л. С. Сидяков, Е. А. Маймин, В. Кантор, П. И. Ивинский, Д. П. Ивинский и др.). Поочередно рассмотрены такие проблемы, как: символика обоих произведений, вкутренние их связи, полемическая преемственность историографии и историо­ софии, мотивов, картинных зарисовок и образов. В Медном всаднике несколько раз появляется имя польского поэта, несмотря на тогдашний запрет цензуры. Вступая в литературную дискуссию с Мицкевичем, певец России стремился выразить свои взгляды на деятельность Петра I, а также на взаимоотношения „общего” и „частного”, на трагическое противоречие государственности и личности, что так ярко выразилось в картинах наводнения и бедствий города, и особенно в контрастных сопоставлениях Петра I и Евгения. Медный всадник это своеобразный узел в творчестве Пушкина. Произведение творчески связано с предшествовавшими ему дра­ мами Борис Годунов и Каменный гость, а также со стихотворением Моя родословная. Отпечаток истории о сумасшедшем Евгении нашел свое частичное воплощение в Пиковой даме, а также в поэмах Анджело и Полтава.

"La Morale de Madame Dulska" - o francuskojęzycznej edycji dramatu Gabrieli Zapolskiej

Author(s): Marzena Karwowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

The article presents the bilingual French-Polish publication, entitled »La Morale de Madame Dulska. Moralność Pani Dulskiej« (2011). Editors of the volume (Danuta Knysz-Tomaszewska, Grzegorz Bąbiak and Cecile Bocianowski) invited representatives of various universities to join the project, among them: Paris III Sorbonne (Elżbieta Koślacz-Virol), Paris IV Sorbonne (Daniele Chauvin) and University of Warsaw (Tomasz Wójcik). The play was translated by: Krzysztof Jeżewski – translator of Polish poetry into the French, also Elżbieta Koślacz-Virol, author of the book on Gabriela Zapolska published in France. La Morale de Madame Dulska was based on the translation by Paul Cazin (1881-1963). The French-Polish publishing initiative has been based on a copy of Paul Cazin's manuscript donated by his widow, Juliette Monfet, in the late 1970s.

"Ostatni mnich w Orłowej" - powieść historyczna ks. Dominika Ściskały (1887-1945)

"Ostatni mnich w Orłowej" - powieść historyczna ks. Dominika Ściskały (1887-1945)

Author(s): Anna Bańska-Szuba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

The article contains a historical and literary analysis of the novel The last monk in Orłowa which was written by the Cieszyn clergyman – Dominik Ściskała (1887–1945) and published in Cieszyn by the publishing house of Blessed Jan Sarkander in 1924. The author was engaged in the dispute over the Polish-Czech border in 1919–1920 on behalf of the Union of Silesian Catholics. After losing the fight for the Zaolzie lands he created a historical novel ‘to encourage hearts’ for contemporary compatriots from the Olza River. This article is an attempt to read the novel as a regional “Cieszyn Deluge”. For this purpose, the author presents not only relationships with Sienkiewicz’s work, but also similarities and differences in: the creation of the represented world, the narrative, the construction of time, the use of historical material, and the construction of a real and fictional plan. She also discovers the historiosophical thought which is contained in the novel. She shows the Reformation as an evil that caused a breakdown of unity in faith in the past, and t he division of the native land in the present day. The author also indicates what the thought to give “encouragement to compatriots” is based on, despite the tragic finale of the novel. The analysis and interpretation of the novel by Fr. Ściskała is the first historical and literary attempt of this kind because no one has ever dealt with it before.

"Postylla katolicka mniejsza" z 1590 roku – "Nowy Testament" z 1593 roku – "Biblia" z 1599 roku

Tendencje akulturacyjne jako element strategii translatorskich „Biblii Wujka”

Author(s): Tadeusz Rubik / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper analyzes the ways of translating New Testament’s cultural realities by Jakub Wujek (and his collaborators) during various stages of preparing the version of the Bible (editions of the "Catholic Postil", 1579–1590, the "New Testament" of 1593 and the "Bible" of 1599). In the first part („Examples”) the author discusses samples of the translation containing cultural realities (such as "sabbatum, Pascha, drachma, paedagogus"), comparing them with other Polish versions of the era. The second part („Tendencies of Acculturation”) interprets different ideas of acculturation as an important part of Polish Jesuits’ different, conflicting strategies for translating the Bible. The interpretation is based on the analysis of historical sources, and places these theoretical programmes in the context of Reformation and Counter-Reformation in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

"Reduta Ordona". Rzeczywistość – historiozofia – mit

Author(s): Andrzej Fabianowski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

"Reduta Ordona" [Ordon’s Redoubt] is one of the most widely recognised poems by Mickiewicz. The poem has frequently been referred to in literature and therefore it has become a sort of a myth which shows in a very apologetic and absurd manner the most crucial features of Polish ethos – patriotism, struggle for independence and the willingness to die for all these values. Being a miniature of a battle epic poem, Ordon’s Redoubt has been examined in terms of how closely Mickiewicz copied the reality of those military events. In many cases the reality presented in the poem turned out to be rather different from the historical truth – Ordon did not die from the explosion. Apart from historical inconsistencies, a dispute concerning the literal shape of the poem can also be triggered. Writing the poem, Mickiewicz used his own poetic experience but also S. Garczyński’s experience of romantic military attempts. Yet, he had gone far beyond the role models who inspired him, creating a powerful and universal catastrophic vision. Multiple perceptions of the myth, which Ordon’s Redoubt undoubtedly is, are the reasons for a number of different ideas to commemorate the place of the battle which itself becomes a metaphor of the fate of the entire world regardless of having no strictly defined boundaries as an area of the battle.

"Sanatorium" Rafała Wojaczka. Próba lektury po czterdziestu latach

Author(s): Magdalena Boczkowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is devoted to "Sanatorium" by Rafał Wojaczek or a prose book of a poet, published for the first time as a whole (although with a removed motto) in 2010. The author, analyzing such, phenomena as (among others): the problem of suicide and split personality, an identity split of the main character, loss of subjectivity that are very typical of the poets defined traditionally as “damned”, shows above all a difficult reception of this prose. Hence, "Sanatorium" can be read today in different ways but it should be underlined that it is first of all a novel about fear, illness, stagnation and battle fought with the world and him/herself.

"Skazani na ciężkie norwidy”? Kilka uwag o kulturowych aspektach przekładu poezji Wisławy Szymborskiej na język norweski

Author(s): Aleksandra Wilkus-Wyrwa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2019

The aim of this paper is to discuss selected cultural keywords in the Norwegian translation of Wisława Szymborska’s (1923–2012) poetry. Translators O.M. Selberg and Ch. Kjelstrup used multiple approaches, thanks to which Norwegian readers have a chance to get acquainted with typical Polish phenomena, although often at an expense of the original text. Since the kind of publishing itself – an anthology of translated poetry – indicates the place of Szymborska’s work in the foreign discourse, her published works in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, along with her reception in Norwegian discourse as a Nobel Prize winner, are discussed here as well.

"Studnia i wahadło" Edgara Allana Poego w przekładach Baudelaire’a i Leśmiana

Author(s): Maria Rogaczewska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The main point of the author’s consideration is "Studnia i wahadło" by Bolesław Leśmian – a text which is a translation of a short story "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe based on a French translation of "Le puits etle pendule" by Charles Baudelaire. The aim of the article is to present the conclusions resulting from the comparative analysis of the mentioned works. Collating these three language versions allows to observ changes that are the consequence of indirect translation, as well as to indicate elements arising from Leśmian’s individual translation strategy. References to the Polish poet’s own writings, which show the exceptional nature of the decisions made by him in the translation process, are an integral part of the study.
