Proportions of the Familiar and the Strange in Jasper Fforde’s Fictional World, from the Perspective of the Reader of the Original and the Polish Translation

Author(s): Agnieszka Pokojska / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article investigates the proportions of the familiar and the strange in the reception of books one and two of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series in the original and in the Polish translation. It is argued that the world created by Fforde is an alternative reality comprising two distinct categories: that of objects and phenomena – both purely fictional and analogical to ones existing in the real world – and that of the classic works of literature written in English. Even though the latter requires knowledge of the cultural context, translation has proved possible, as evidenced by a number foreign-language editions. In languages other than English, however, and outside the English culture, the reception of Fforde’s fictional world is rather different than that of the original. The point of the article, illustrated by examples from Fforde’s texts, is that, unlike the reader of the original texts, who is bound to find the fictitious elements of the alternative universe strangest, and the realm of literature comfortingly familiar, the reader of the translation is likely to find the fictional world of Thursday Next uniformly unfamiliar: the literary elements, which are introduced by the author with lesser concern for the recipient’s comprehension than the products of his own inventiveness, must seem to a foreign reader at least as strange as the fictitious elements.

Revisiting G. B. Shaw’s “Mrs Warren’s Profession”: Differences in Cultural Reception and Translation in England, the United States, and Poland

Author(s): Agnieszka Adamowicz‑Pośpiech / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The article is a contrastive analysis of the reception and translation of G. B. Shaw’s “Mrs Warren’s Profession” in Britain, the United States, and Poland. It examines the significance of the “woman question” in different cultures and drama translation as a means of disseminating new ideas. The author perceives the play as a means of propagating the thenrevolutionary views on the role of women in society. “Mrs Warren’s Profession” was censored to stifle social debate in Britain and the USA. Different modes of reception in Britain and on the Continent are juxtaposed against the historical and cultural backdrop of the first decades of the twentieth century. In Poland, though the drama was not censored, nonetheless its performance was abandoned due to political and ideological causes. Additionally, indirectly the article is concerned with the debate over marriage and women’s legal rights that swept through Europe at that time.

O LIKU ALI IBN EBI TALIBA U MESNEVIJI DŽELALUDDINA RUMIJA

Author(s): Namir Karahalilović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

In Mathnawi by Galaluddin Rumi there are many different characters. Some of them are fictional, and some, on the other hand, real historical personages from different epochs of the history of humankind. Without any doubt, one of the important personages Rumi deals with in Mathnawiis Ali Ibn Ebi Talib. On the basis of the first two stories in Mathnawi that mention Ali Ibn Ebi Talib, this work points to some basic features of his character in Rumi’s fascinating gnostic epic. Based on the chapter about the Prophet’s will directed to Ali, as well as the chapter concerning the extraordinary incident during Ali’s fight with an enemy – polytheist, through original narrative move, skillful structuring of context of the situation and masterful usage of the stylistic figure of rhetorical twist, Rumi in a relatively short chapter of Mathnawi builds a projection of character of AliIbn Ebi Talib that completely fits the gnostic concept of the perfect man.

MEVLANA I SPOZNAJA DUŠE

Author(s): Abdoulreza Jamalzadeh / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Galaluddin Rumi in certain bayts of Mathnawi speaks about the ways of self-cognition. If self-cognition is the basis of all knowledge and if the core of all sciences is to know who you are, what is your essence, where do you go, what is your goal and wish and when the answers to all these questions become the important part of a man’s worldview, in order to reach that goal, it is important to discover the way to reach it. Without the way (tarikat) and the program, the work is futile. Rumi says that if a man begins purifying his inner side from all the filth, and if he succeeds in doing so, many doors of knowledge and cognition shall open in front of his heart. The saying goes ‘’Angels do not enter the house where a dog is’’. That means that meleks/angels do not enter unclean places, there fore not even those who bring knowledge, and consequentially, the way of self cognitionis closed in that situation.

W harmonii z naturą i kosmosem? O poezji Antonia Colinasa i Zbigniewa Herberta

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

There exists a deep spiritual union between poems by the Spanish author, Antonio Colinas (born 1946), and those written by Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998), which is reflected by, among others, seeking harmony in nature and the universe. Although the poetic concept of the two authors often runs in various directions, a comparative analysis gives rise to a dia¬logue which reveals at some points surprising similarities and striking differences. When contemplating nature and arrangement of the universe both authors arrive at a conclusion that in fact the world is not an order, and what may be found in it, instead of the desired sense, is an emptiness which, however, for Colinas as opposed to Herbert, unveils the desired sense to the human being. What Herbert mostly sees is the union of suf¬fering between the human being and nature, whereas Colinas can notice a trace of some order in the omnipresent death.

Literackie obrazy transformacji. „Poturbowana prawda” w Oszuście Javiera Cercasa, Spisie cudzołożnic Jerzego Pilcha i Sońce Ignacego Karpowicza

Author(s): Agnieszka Kłosińska-Nachin / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The aim of the article is to compare three literary pictures of the political transformation presented in The impostor (2014) by Javier Cercas, Spis cudzołożnic (1993) by Jerzy Pilch and Sońka (2014) by Ignacy Karpowicz. These novels emphasize their discursive character, thereby revealing that the history is always a narration, not an uninfected series of events. The transformation is shown in conjunction with the theme of historical memory and imposture. The transition to the democracy revealed the new ways of falsifying history, in which the culture got involved on the basis of mass communication.

Formy powrotu (do pisania). Powiedzmy… Alejandro Zambra

Author(s): Arkadiusz Żychliński / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article starts with the striking observation that the writing of Alejandro Zambra, a distinctive contemporary Chilean writer of the middle generation, can be treated both as a string of intriguing experiments sounding various ways of (a personal going back to) writing, and as a convenient frame of reference to discuss the notion of the progress in literature. Accordingly, a comprehensive analysis of Zambra’s literary work intertwines with questions concerning the spectrum of literary innovations, the conditions of the possibility of producing new narrative dispositives, the limitations of formal inventiveness, and the regulative function of the cognitive value added.

Immigration Theme in Elif Shafak's Novels

Author(s): Reyhana Jafarova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Immigration factor played a certain role in the formation of the world public social idea. At all times, societies had to leave places they lived for other places. Immigration can be designated as people's leaving their places for other areas or countries, temporarily or permanently on social, political and economic reasons. Therefore, immigration influenced social factors such as policy, economy, geography and culture. This manifested itself particularly, in the literature which is an integral part of the culture. Immigration literature is a distinct example of this effect. Contemporary American immigration literature is the result of people's mass flow to the United States of America.

Edebiyat Sosyolojisi Bakış Açısı ile Japon Edebiyatı Eğitimi

Author(s): Nihan Atli / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Bir dilin öğrenimi o dilin ait olduğu kültürün ve özelliklerinin öğrenimini de gerektirir. Ancak, dil öğretimi ile kültür öğretimi her zaman bir paralellik içinde gerçekleşmemektedir. Bu noktada edebi eserlerden ve edebiyat sosyolojisinin bakış açısından yararlanmanın dil öğrenimine kültürel destek sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ancak edebi eserlerden yararlanılabilmesi için öğrenicinin belirli bir seviyede Japonca dilbilgisi yeterliliğine sahip olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Japon Dili ve Edebiyatı 4. sınıf öğrenicilerin yani üst seviye (Jōkyū- 上 級 ) Japonca dilbilgisi yetisine sahip öğrenicilerin, edebiyat sosyolojisi bakış açısı ile edebi bir metindeki tarihsel ve toplumsal arka planı kavramasının sağlanabileceği konusu irdelenmiştir. Örnek olarak Modern Japonya’nın temellerinin atıldığı Meiji Dönemi yazarlarından Natsume Sōseki’nin “Küçük Bey” (Botchan) eseri kullanılmıştır.

Ekofeminističko čitanje poezije Kamale Das

Author(s): Mirela Ribičić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Ekofeminizam kao pokret svoj nastanak duguje kako feminizmu tako I sve raširenijem zanimanju za zaštitu okoliša, tzv. ekologizmu, a zasniva se na razmišljanju o podudarnosti između središnjih teza ekologizma i feminizma, odnosno suprotstavljanju dominaciji nad prirodom i dominaciji nad ženama. Ekofeminizam se kao pokret razlikuje od drugih feminizama time što naglašava potrebu za o uvanjem prirode (okoliša, ako primjenjujemo antropocentri an termin) kao temelja feministi ke koncepcije svijeta, ali i time što uporište pronalazi u svojevrsnoj revitalizaciji kulta Majke Zemlje (Gea).
