Litwini na Uniwersytecie Dorpackim (Juriewskim) do 1918 roku i ich dalsze losy

Author(s): Grzegorz Błaszczyk / Language(s): Polish

The book, which is a biographical dictionary, is devoted to students of Lithuanian origin from the University of Dorpat in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The basic problem is that of separating Poles from Lithuanians in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. An additional problem is the ambiguity of the term "Lithuanian" at that time. For there were two different concepts: Historical Lithuanian and Ethnic Lithuanian. These differ in many respects, mainly social, territorial, historical, ethnic. In the approach used by the author of this book, historical Lithuanians included such famous people as Stanislaw Cat Mackiewicz, his brother Józef Mackiewicz, Melchior Wańkowicz, Czesław Miłosz or Józef Piłsudski, alongside many others. In terms of ethnicity, all these mentioned were not of Polish but of Lithuanian or Ruthenian origin. The individuals considered themselves Lithuanians in a historical sense, but ultimately chose a Polish national consciousness. In this publication, both notions – Pole and Lithuanian – are used in a narrow sense, limited only to a person's national consciousness. Therefore, a Pole or a Lithuanian is a person who consciously and publicly expressed his or her national consciousness, whether Polish or Lithuanian. Such a situation was encountered only from the very end of the 19th century until Yuriev University closed in 1918.

Niechciana kultura

Author(s): Maciej Falski / Language(s): Polish

Following the end of civil war in 1995, Bosnia and Herzegovina became a federal state, divided into two autonomous parts, in which elites of three nations compete. Crucial for the cohesiveness of the state is its legitimacy, in other words: universal support among its citizens for its existence. The research presented in this book stems from the assumption that the basic means used by the elites as well as state institutions is culture, or the symbolic realm. The chapters focus on a number of architectural objects considered elements of cultural heritage, as the disputes that surround their restoration reveal deep divisions within the symbolic realm and the public discourse. The conflicts arising in the symbolic realm result in weak support for the state and a predominance of centrifugal ethnonational ideologies of the Serbs, Bosniaks and Croatians.

Рецепция позднего Льва Толстого в польской прессе

Author(s): Joanna Piotrowska / Language(s): Russian

The monograph presents a new approach to research surrounding the alter-cultural reception of a writer. The methodological proposals are presented with reference to the reception of Leo Tolstoy. The study focuses on two significant events: his 80th birthday (1908) and his departure from Yasnaya Polyana (1910). A comparative analysis of Polish and foreign publications enabled the author to track the transformations that took place in the way Tolstoy’s image was constructed, and at the same time to better understand the specific nature of press reception mechanisms.

Naród: wspólnota wyobrażona

Author(s): Artur Jabłoński / Language(s): Polish

The book analyses and attempts to reconstruct the notion of the Kashubian nation as imagined by Jan Rompski (1913-1969) – writer, national activist and ethnographer. Rompski, founder of the Zrzeszińce political and literary group, envisioned the Kashubian identity as a collection of features from an open set encompassing in particular: territory, language, culture, and civic sense. Intertwined with the discussion of Rompski’s views are modern Kashubian identity discourses that serve to confront his narrative with ways in which Kashubian identity is imagined today.

Tadeusz Mazowiecki

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Tadeusz Mazowiecki (1927-2013), the first non-communist prime minister of Poland after the Second World War, was undoubtedly a major figure of Polish political life of the second half of the twentieth century. This has spurred the initiative to compile a multi-volume edition of Mazowiecki’s scattered writings and documents connected with him, which would encompass the entirety of his time as a social and political activist. This volume, concerning Tadeusz Mazowiecki in the period of his premiership, comprises two parts. The first contains texts and documents from 1989-1990, the period when Mazowiecki headed the government or immediately before. The second part is a selection of later interviews and reckoning articles: until the end of his life, Tadeusz Mazowiecki would explain the decision he had made as the prime minister, defending them, sometimes by revealing their hitherto unknown circumstances. Mazowiecki’s government laid foundations for a new Polish statehood – in a country devastated economically and politically by almost half a century of communist rule. It transitioned Poland from authoritarianism to democracy, and its economy from inefficient systemic poverty to free market. These reforms were not perfect, but they were revolutionary, though implemented in an evolutionary fashion. The fifteen months of Mazowiecki’s government proved enough to begin strategic changes in all areas of Polish life, changes that would be continued afterwards. They were not enough, however, for all these changes to be completed under Mazowiecki’s government – even though it is this government that was blamed for the errors and mistakes of transition, not its critics and successors. Tadeusz Mazowiecki was a man who attached great importance to the world of values. He perceived politics as acting for the sake of the common good. Today this no longer is a feature associated with politicians. This is all the more reason to offer a reminder that there was a time when politics could be done differently, and that this time was not that long ago.
