POJAZD ROWEREM. RETORYKA ROWEROWA W DYSKURSIE EMANCYPACYJNYM

Author(s): Zuzanna Kołupajło / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

PL: Tekst omawia, wykorzystując figury roweru i rowerzystki, historię emancypacji kobiet w kontekście europejskim (i północnoamerykańskim). Autorka analizuje użycie roweru w konstruowaniu narracji feministycznych i dotyczących emancypacji kobiet, począwszy od XIX wieku i skończywszy na czasach współczesnych. Analizy dotyczą zarówno kontekstu językoznawczego (dwuznaczność słowa ‘pojazd’, użycia roweru w polszczyźnie), jak i społeczno-kulturowego (rowery w cytatach z ikon feminizmu, S.B. Anthony i G. Steinem, wiersz Cyklistka A. Oppmana, satyryczne wizualizacje rowerzystek, antyemancypacyjne i antyrównościowe opory wobec jazdy kobiet na rowerze). EN: The article uses the figure of the bicycle and the female cyclist to discuss the history of women’s emancipation in its European (and North American) context. The author analyzes the use of the bicycle in constructing feminist narratives concerning the emancipation of women, from the nineteenth century to modern times. This analysis concerns both the linguistic context (the ambiguity of the word ‘vehicle’, the use of ‘bicycle’ in the Polish language), and socio-cultural ones (bicycles in the quotations of feminist icons S. B. Anthony and G. Stein, A. Oppman’s poem “Woman Cyclist”, satirical visualizations of women cyclists, and anti-emancipatory and anti-equality resistance to women riding bicycles).

INTERPRETIRAJUĆI RUMIJA U KONTEKSTU INTERKULTURALNIH STUDIJA

Author(s): Nevad Kahteran / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

The essential awareness of the spiritual state of today’s world, and of the question of terrorism, reflects the social pathologies of the modern world− a pathology that is accustoming people to the presence of violence as something quite normal and logical, and where they are all too familiar with danger and the presence of death. So, there is really wide need for studies which will stimulate mutual understanding, inter-faith dialogue and multicultural encounters. Hazrat Mawlana, who is one of the greatest spiritual and literary figures of all time, who advocated unlimited tolerance,and for whom love is the most significant conceptual component in a manner transcending all national, cultural and civilizational bounderies, is undoubtedly the most suitable figure for this task.

Czym są gnostyckie dystopie?

Author(s): Fryderyk Kwiatkowski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The inquiry delivered in Fryderyk Kwiatkowski’s chapter of possible affinities between ancient Gnosticism, perceived as an interpretative and heuristic category, and utopian/ dystopian texts has not been performed in comparative studies. The aim of this article is therefore to fill this void to demonstrate that gnostic thought is replete with notions that may have served as the verifiable pre-modern source of the constructive characteristics of utopias and dystopias. Alex Proyas, the author, examines "Dark City" (1998) as his primary case study for his investigative research on gnostic thought characteristics in utopias and dystopias. Other sources of his substantive research include twenty-first century American film. It is worthy to note that Proyas classifies all of his research sources as “gnostic dystopias”. Proya’s notion of “gnostic dystopias” refers to texts embedded with structural and narrative traits of classical examples of dystopias. Novels such as the likes of "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley or "Nineteen Eighty- Four" by George Orwell can be construed as being literarily consistent with gnostic ideals.

RATOVI XX VEKA I XX VEK KAO RAT

Author(s): Jan Patočka / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Prvi svetski rat proizveo je kod nas niz tumačenja koja su omogućila ljudima da shvate te džinovske događaje, koji prevazilaze svakog, čiji su nosioci ljudi, iako ih oni nadmašuju - te, na izvestan način, kosmičke događaje. Trudili smo se da ih smestimo u svoje kategorije, da izađemo na kraj s njima, onako kako smo ih spoznali, tj. u biti, na osnovu misli XIX veka. Drugi svetski rat nije izazvao ništa slično; njegovi neposredni uzroci, njegov izgled, bili su možda odviše jasni, a, pre svega - nije se završio, prešao je u nešto posebno, što nije ni rat ni mir; revolucija, koja bi to stanje komentarisala, nije dopustila nikome da dođe do daha i izgovori reč koja bi »svaku stvar podelila na osnovu njene suštine, rekavši kako stvari stoje«. Osim toga, kod nas je stvoreno uverenje da mora postojati nekakvo pravo, tj. marksističko tumačenje Drugog svetskog rata, nešto skriveno u idejnim riznicama strane koja pokreće istoriju. Kasnije nikom ne smeta što takvo tumačenje realno ne postoji...

O SUPROTSTAVLJANJU ZLU SILOM

Author(s): Ivan Aleksandrovič Iljin / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Da li bi čovek koji stremi moralnom savršenstvu mogao da se zlu suprotstavi silom i mačem? Da li bi čovek, koji je religiozan i koji prihvata Boga, njegovo svetostvaranje i njegovo mesto u svetu, mogao da se zlu ne suprotstavi mačem i silom? Ovakvo dvojedinito pitanje, podstaklo je sva naša istraživanja. Šta može i šta treba da odgovori na ovo pitanje, ona moralno-blagorodna duša, koja se u svojoj ljubavi kreće ka Bogu i Božjem delovanju na zemlji - da odgovori religiozno ispravno, da odgovori puninom volje na navalu zla koja pridolazi izvana?

Queerowanie Frankensteina. Motywy inności i nienormatywności w serialu Dom grozy

Author(s): Barbara Braid / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the chapter “Queering Frankenstein: the motifs of otherness and non-normativity in »Penny Dreadful«”, Barbara Braid offers an interpretation of Frankenstein’s creatures presented in the series from the perspective of queer theory. The queer is understood here as a wide range of non-normativity and difference, including subjectivities and actions which subvert stabilities and norms. The author identifies the links between queer theory and the gothic, which allow to see the characters which are monstrous, undead, abject—or simply Other—as representations of difference. In this light, the presented analysis shows the three creatures made by Frankenstein and Victor Frankenstein himself as characters related to each other in non-normative ways, creating a queer quasi-family. This discussion is also contextualized by references to Mary Shelley’s original novel and some of its classic film adaptations and their comparison with Penny Dreadful. Frankenstein’s creature is, due to its nature as the undead made of fragments of corpses, an abject thing, an embodiment of Otherness. In the series, Victor creates three beings, which are in a constant tension with each other. The firstborn John Clare murders the second creature, Proteus, out of hatred for their “father” Victor; the third being is Lily, another embodiment of the Bride of Frankenstein, destined to be with the creature, but desired by Victor. She becomes a dangerous fiend, femme castratrice, who desires a new world order and subordination of human beings. These two surviving Others—John and Lily—represent two different attitudes to their otherness. John Clare yearns normality and tries to achieve it by establishing a family with a human woman; Lily, a demonic man-eater, terrifies him. On the other hand, Lily strikes a relationship with Dorian Gray, equally non-normative, in order to achieve a queer monstrous supremacy over the world. However, both Frankenstein’s creatures fail and become alone. Therefore, the chapter is concluded with suppositions that question whether the motifs of otherness play an unequivocally subversive role in Penny Dreadful.
