Abordarea liniară și ciclică a comunicării interculturale la orele de limba și literatura română

Author(s): Ana Cozari / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Communication is a complex phenomenon inevitable to society. Lately, one has noticed a noticeable rise in the interest towards both the theme of communication, in general, as well as in that of intercultural communication, in particular, at the individual level as well as at the level of the group interactions. Intercultural communication comprises universal elements, as well as specific ones, operating at various levels, generating a variety of communicative behaviours and leading to certain types of communicational necessities, greatly impacting what speakers perceive and how they perceive. The subject 'Romanian Language and Literature' is a strong means and an appropriate educational medium for intercultural education to take place in, it develops the intercultural communication skills, it creates intercultural attitudes. Thus, intercultural communication is a process which can be successfully guided, developed, adjusted by teachers during Romanian Language and Literature classes.

ANDRIĆ KAO NAŠE OGLEDALO

Author(s): Ivan Lovrenović / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

U našim prigovorima na današnji tretman Ive Andrića u javnom prostoru, u obrazovnom sistemu i od strane političkih instanci i institucija, uz eksplicitno ili češće samo implicirano uspoređivanje s Andrićevim tretmanom u kulturnoj politici prethodnoga, jugoslavenskog sistema, krije se mogućnost stvaranja jedne pogrešne predodžbe i izazivanja još jednoga nesporazuma, koji se oko Andrića ionako množe, gotovo proporcionalno broju godina od njegove smrti i od propasti jugoslavenskoga kulturnog i političkog sistema. Lako se, naime, iz tih prigovora može steći dojam da se taj nekadašnji odnos prema Andriću i mjesto koje je zauzimao na tadašnjem službenom kulturnopolitičkom “ikonostasu” može smatrati dobrim i poželjnim, za razliku od današnjega, koji je, eto, na različite načine samo vulgarna politička i nacionalna instrumentalizacija velikoga pisca.

Dzienniki czasu wojny

Author(s): Jacek Leociak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author focuses on the Second World War, but draws attention to the deep genealogy of the phrase “wartime diaries”, treating them as a special form of recording limit situations in which a person is confronted with violence and death, which go beyond the ways of coping with these experiences, and the community is faced with the horror of mass extermination. Culture and civilization are in a state of catastrophe, destruction and collapse. Examples of records of such experiences in the past include plague logs and pogrom chronicles. The concept of “wartime diaries” has two basic features: 1. they are written in borderline situations and contain a record of borderline experiences; 2. the primary distinguishing criterion is the proximity of the record and the experience. The author presents the topography of diaristic records and the circles of experience they testify to. As for the topography of writing, the observation field was narrowed only to the area of the Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków, Vilnius and Kaunas ghettos. From the various experiences within the thematic spectrum of the diaries, the author presents two: the hunger in the ghetto and the siege of the city of Warsaw and Leningrad. The article proposes to expand the genological area of the diaries and draw attention to diaristic borderlands and genological hybrids. This broadened spectrum of forms would fit between the diary and the chronicle, and between the letters and the diary. There are also “texts in extremis”, which can be considered a unique“ ultimate diaristic record”. This separate group consists of various types of inscriptions on the walls of torture rooms and prisons, places where convicts are held. The act of writing and the moment of experience merge.

Między dokumentem, świadectwem, praktyką piśmienną i literaturą

Author(s): Paweł Rodak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In this article the author describes the change in the status of wartime and Holocaust diaries which has taken place in Poland in the last fifty years. He distinguishes four main phases of the perception of war diaries: from document, through testimony, writing practice, to literature. They are chronological and typological in character, for although their temporal dynamics is clearly discernible, at the same time they repeatedly overlap, co-exist and even in a certain sense – compete with each other. In conclusion the author points out that the diaries included in the literary space (through the category of “personal document literature”) do not so much supplement or enrich this space, as “burst” it from within. War diaries seen as literature change our view of the literature itself and its place in the space of the Polish writing practices of the twentieth century.

Okupacyjne dzienniki i pamiętniki w konfrontacji z dyskursem o polskich Sprawiedliwych

Author(s): Justyna Kowalska-Leder / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The notion of the aid to the Jews during the Holocaust that prevails in the Polish culture has been so detached from the historical truth that it requires intervention in the form of counter-history and the interconnected counter-memory. Access to real experiences from the occupation is provided by numerous testimonies written “there and then,” principally including diaries and memoirs. The recorded experiences of both the Poles and the Jews present unobvious and ambivalent aspects of the aid relations that continued despite the surrounding threats. The article is an attempt to confront the Polish discourse about the Righteous with the testimonies by Brandla Siekierkowa, Karol Rotgeber, Jerzy Feliks Urman, and Calek Perechodnik.

"Dziennik wojenny" Leopolda Buczkowskiego – wyzwanie dla (młodego) edytora

Author(s): Sławomir Buryła / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses "Dziennik wojenny" [War Diary] by Leopold Buczkowski. It poses a question concerning the origins of the text and the subsequent stages of its development. That is a challenging task since the original version of the work is not available. Additionally, the lack of the first version makes it difficult to examine the so-called material sphere of the diary. It can be reconstructed only based on the preserved manuscript version. The author of the paper also discussed "Dziennik wojenny" against the background of other early works by Buczkowski ("Wertepy", and "Czarny potok", a collection of a few dozen poems), from the perspective of editorial and philological problems. He also demonstrates the need for a new edition of "Dziennik wojenny", and indicated the errors committed in the existing edition.

„Lata płyną, dzienniczku, a jak tak pragnę życia”

Author(s): Maciej Libich / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is an attempt to describe the wartime diaries of Anna Pogonowska. Drawing on literary anthropology, genetic criticism and the works of Paweł Rodak, the author of the article describes both the materiality of Pogonowska’s notes, the themes they present, and their pragmatic functions. The author describes the state of anomie and the disintegration of the world in times of war as depicted in the diaries, as well as the feelings of isolation and boredom experienced by the young diarist. Moreover, the author of the article foregrounds the diarist’s discrete allusions to the Holocaust and reflects on her social position during the war.

„Czy w ogóle ktoś je czytać będzie” – nowe spojrzenie na dziennik Abrama Łaskiego z getta łódzkiego

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

Written in four languages in the margins of a French book, the diary of Abram Icchak Łaski remained anonymous for many years, although it aroused a keen interest in Holocaust scholars both in terms of its form and content. Only recent research has allowed to discover the author’s name. The article presents new possibilities of text interpretation, which appear along with getting to know the identity of the diarist and his milieu.

Książki w stanie wojny

Author(s): Jagoda Wierzejska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article analyzes the wartime fate of two archival and library collections and two archivists/librarians who took care of these collections during the hostilities in two cities – Lviv and Warsaw. The analysis was based on diaristic documents: Aleksander Czołowski’s "Dziennik wypadków listopadowych" [Diary of November Events] and Józef Grycz’s "Dzienniczek z okresu powstania warszawskiego 1944 roku" [Diary of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising]. The first diary describes the events that took place in Lviv during the Polish-Ukrainian war in 1918, especially Czołowski’s efforts to take care of the city’s archival collection. The second diary highlights the Warsaw Uprising struggles in 1944 and, above all, Grycz’s personal struggle to protect the collections of the National Library from destruction or robbery. Both diaries are interestingly profiled documents of their time. They present the battles of Lviv and Warsaw, respectively, from an unusual perspective: that of the institutions of science and culture, as well as the documents and books collected in those institutions, whose material dimension suddenly became fundamental (because fundamentally endangered). In this way, both diaries make us aware that wars, especially those fought in urban areas, are both tragedies of people and hecatomb of things, including books. At certain points both diaries also shed untypical light on events integrated in the dominant Polish discourse and rarely narrated in a way that deviates from it.

Dzienniki Wacława Borowego , czyli sztuka życia w latach 1943–1944

Author(s): Albert Walczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In my paper I focused on presenting some of the notes made by Wacław Borowy in 1943–1944 that are unknown to a wide audience. I look not only at the content of the scholar’s diary, but also at its physical aspect. By referring to the works of Paweł Rodak, Philippe Lejeune and various achievements of genetic criticism, I try to answer some of the key questions. Why does Borowy follow the actions of the Soviet troops? How does he perceive life in the occupied capital city? How does he hide his involvement in the works of the underground University of Warsaw? Another field of research are scholar’s notes that were made during the Warsaw Uprising. The laconic, “encrypted” (according to Maria Straszewska’s term) entries, which were predominant up to that time, are replaced with notes in which Borowy makes many detailed comments regarding the uprising. Thus the reader of this article will get to know a hidden face of Wacław Borowy. The man who tries to keep in his tiny notebooks the memories of the world in which, in his own words, “besides sins, there were so many great values!” A witness to history who reads subsequent decisions concerning the post-war fate of Poland with curiosity.

Poeta uwięziony

Author(s): Piotr Mitzner / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article is an attempt to provide an analysis of the diary kept by the poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński during his imprisonment in Stalag-XI POW Camp in Altengrabow. Written in 1941, the diary remained unpublished until some 50 years after the author’s death. We will not find any of the poet’s stylistic methods in the entries. Religious themes dominate, as does the necessity to adapt personality traits. The diary throws light on the poet’s post-war works.

Myśląc o sprawach świata jak księżniczka Zuppa

Author(s): Honorata Sroka / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the article I conduct the analysis of Stefan Themerson’s wartime diaries. Notes from 1940–1942 are exemplified in seven volumes of manuscripts, currently held in the Themerson Archive in the National Library of Poland in Warsaw. I point out that the intimate practice of the avant-garde artist was an incidential activity. I assume there were not any further or previous traces of this kind of autobiographical writing. Combining the methods of life-writing studies and genetic criticism, I put forward a thesis that the diaries of Themerson are an interesting record of the formation process of Themerson anti-political statement.

Dlaczego Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński nie prowadził dziennika?

Author(s): Emilia Zaczkowska-Szypowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article is the result of a review of the writing materials of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński to identify manuscripts with the characteristics and functions of a diary, and at the same time an introduction to genetic research on the poet’s codexes. The first part of the article contains a comparison of the manuscripts in the above mentioned key, leading to a presentation of the predominance of lyric autographs: numerous and related to the various functions they had, with a marginal share of non-literary texts, among which – if it ever existed – a diary could be found. Brief analyses of a letter from Stawisko from March 1942 and selected author’s footnotes from [Codex 39/42] demonstrate the secondary role of personal notes in relation to the lyric, which is the poet’s way of “noting” experiences and testimonies. The second part introduces the study of the codexes, analysing those elements of them that correspond in functionality to the elements of a diary. Particular attention is paid to the components and features of notebooks relating to the temporality of their creation considered in various aspects: dating, chronology, the period of the creation of notebooks, the mode and regularity of their keeping. [Codex 39/42] and [Codex 42/44] are framed as the result of a writing practice similar to diary-keeping with respect to their material integrity, which is an introduction to the study of the poet’s notebooks taking into account their material and pragmatic dimensions.

Легендата за Филис: античен текст в ренесансов контекст

Author(s): Vanya Lozanova-Stancheva / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Around the mid-1380s, John Gower, finishing his long poem Confessio Amantis, shared that fact with his friend Geoffrey Chaucer. In response, he told him about his new poem The Legend of Good Women, or – as he called it – The Seintes Legende of Cupide, on which he had started work at the same time. The article systematizes and analyzes the mythological and literary tradition of the Thracian princess Phyllis and her misfortune and tragic love with Athenian prince Demophon in the context of Chaucer’s The Legend of Good Women and Gower’s Confessio Amantis. Both poets followed the general framework set by Ovid in his Heroides (Ep. II and Ep. XIV), but with the deformations inherent to their own era and their own moralising purposes. Their versions, however, differ substantially in some significant details. The comparative analysis of the two works reveals the alternative sources that the two poets used in their works, as well as the deviations from and innovations to the ancient and medieval mythological and literary tradition. Obviously, both Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower interpreted and adapted intentionally alternative sources that enriched their works with eclectic, intricate and artificial intertwining of details, aimed at building and perfecting their insights into the ethics of courtly love.

Гръкоезичното поетично творчество на трима възрожденски българи – Ив. Селимински, П. Протич, Г. Пърличев

Author(s): Dimitrios Roumpos / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Greek, Modern (1453-) Publication Year: 0

In the middle of the 19th century, a large number of Bulgarian Renaissance scholars, which included Ivan Seliminsky, Petar Protich and Gregor Parlichev, created poetry in Greek. The works which are presented by the three Hellenists in the present study are a valuable a source for some of the characteristic features of the Balkans, as well as the language characteristics and the particular style from each of them. P. Protich’s satire focuses on the dangers hidden in Hellenistic phenomena of the Balkan intelligentsia. The poems of Greg. Parlichev are distinguished for their rich poetic language and describe the struggle for liberation from the centuries long yoke of slavery, while Iv. Seliminsky presents events in Wallachia since the middle of the 19th century. In the life and spiritual attitude of these three Hellenists there is something very common – they attend Greek schools, they study at the University of Athens, live and work for the political and spiritual regeneration of the Bulgarian people.

The Return of History in Colin Thubron's Travelogue Behind the Wall: A Journey through China

Author(s): Pavel Petkov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses Colin Thubron’s book Behind the Wall: A Journey Through China – one of the most popular twentiethcentury travelogues about this country. It explores the various ways in which the author constructs the image of the Chinese people, especially when these images are related to China’s recent history. More specifically, I focus on a discursive phenomenon – an imagined “return of history” – which the reader can witness throughout the book. The author constantly travels around the country, expecting to somehow see the history he has heard so much about at home. He expects something from China and is prepared to see this ‘something’ even in the face of the evidence. At the same time he feels he has every right to pass judgments on what he perceives as history, while denying the Chinese he meets the right to comment on British history.The paper discusses Colin Thubron’s book Behind the Wall: A Journey Through China – one of the most popular twentiethcentury travelogues about this country.

Литература и богословие в „COMMONITORIUM“ на Св. Винценций Лерински

Author(s): Rosen Milanov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

One of the saints of the Lérins islands (modern day France) is St. Vincent of Lérins († after 434). He is the author of the very significant work Commonitorium (in two books). Commonitorium is esteemed from Antiquity till today in the West as well as in the East. The reason for this is its theological value and the important thoughts therein concerning authority in the Church and the principles of development of the Christian doctrine. However, Commonitorium possesses other qualities as well – literary and especially spiritual. The language of Vincent of Lérins is not artificial; at the same time, there are many beautiful similes and antitheses in his essay. Furthermore, the subject-matter of Commonitorium is topical even now and it has special meaning for the life of each Christian today. Commonitorium is a testament to the possibility that the Christian church can express its truths in an exceptionally fascinating way.
