„Strasznie żywa jest ta śmierć” – o „Wierszach dośmiertnych” Zofii Zarębianki
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Jakubowska-Ożóg, Alicja
„Pre-death poems / Wiersze dośmiertne” are the poet’s personal confessions, but also an attempt to tackle the topic of death experienced through the passing of relatives and friends. The crucial issues while encountering the problem of death are considerations on time and places that are, have been and will be important for a human being. The author, similarly to her earlier collections of poems, convinces the readers that every human action is imbued with meaning, sense as we are all searching for and incessantly trying to establish the aim of our activities. What is essential is that for the heroine who is a believer, death is not the end but it is the stage leading to salvation. The poet as an outstanding specialist in literary studies employs in those poems well-known motifs, uses paradox, contrast, she combines a naïve nursery rhyme with metaphysical dread, nevertheless, in all of those parts she remains authentic.

Pawła Mayewskiego „Tematy”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Adamczyk, Kazimierz
The quarterly “Tematy”, edited by Paweł Mayewski, was published in the years 1961–1969. In 32 issues the editors published reprints of essayistic texts from elite American magazines, presenting works in the field of sociology, political science and literary criticism. There were also many translations poems of the greatest contemporary American poets. The eminent professors of American universities, as well as many Polish emigre writers, cooperated with Mayewski. Those appeared mainly in the role of translators. Mayewski’s magazine was part of the ideological offensive against communism and the place of presentation of the complex image of American society in the times of the Black people’s struggle for equality, student rebellion against the establishment, counterculture successes and at the same time the triumph of the consumerist model of society. All these issues as well as disputes among American intellectuals about the place of literature in the modern society found expression in the Mayewski’s quaterly. The sixties were a period of exhaustion of the potential of the New Critics’ school and the search for new ways of interpreting literary works. Also in this dimension, the quarterly addressed to the Polish reader has become a place for the presentation of new ideas.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Zahaczewska, Izabela

Discussed briefly essay writing of Gniatczyński shows him unusual erudition and a writing workshop with great artistic, aesthetic and cognitive qualities. It gives the possibility of various interpretations and urges to multifaceted research, clearly indicating that Wojciech Gniatczyński is worth rediscover today.
Problem Kresów w literaturze polskiej lat 1918–2018. Znaczące perspektywy interpretacyjne
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Uliasz, Stanisław
The paper offers a comprehensive, synthetic account of the Polish Eastern Borderland discourse on the subject over the course of the last century. It analyzes the ways in which the understanding of the notion of Kresy and “borderland”, as well as the strategies of presenting the term have been changing, including the attempts to replace this category with other terms. Furthermore, the paper characterizes the dynamics concerning the transformations of situational contexts which emerged in the period of the Second Polish Republic, developed in the times of World War II, after 1945 (in the country and abroad), and continue from the 80s and 90s of the twentieth century to our present. Significant interpretative perspectives include, among others, the trend of literary schools, the legend and myth of Polish Eastern Borderland, the notion of the borderline of cultures, small homelands, and methodological phrases and breakthroughs (spatial turn, geopoetics, postcolonial criticism).
New Perspectives on Europe from 1914 to 1945
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Carls, Alice-Catherine; Carls, Stephen D.
“Europe from War to War, 1914–1945” started as an attempt to document topics left blank in most textbooks dealing with twentieth century Europe. It ended up being a thoroughly researched, comprehensive study of the first half of the century. Its original structure features parallel chapters within each chronological section (1914–1919, 1929–1939, 1939–1945). Each section contains two chapters that deal with international and domestic matters. Chapters are organized topically. In the chapters focusing on international affairs, military and diplomatic issues are considered in their complementarity, and the technological and global dimensions of each conflict are highlighted. In chapters dealing with domestic matters, economic, political, demographic, and social developments are dealt with a systematic fashion. As a result of the consistent coverage of topics, the continuum of history reverberates throughout the book. “Europe from War to War, 1914–1945” highlights topics that are seldom handled in comprehensive studies of the time period, such as: the contributions of the colonies to European powers in both world wars; interwar projects for European unification; the role of Scandinavian, Iberian, and Balkan countries; the role of religion; transnational feminism; the demographics of minorities, emigration and refugees; the impact of both world wars on initiatives such as relief efforts, international labor regulation, and public health. Modernization, a key theme throughout the chapters dealing with domestic developments, is examined through five criteria: political change (democracy, human rights, political participation and liberal measures), demographic change (refugees, resettlements, migrations, and growth), economic progress (industrial modernization, agricultural reforms and labor legislation), social policies (welfare, professional mobility, public health, and women’s advancement), and urban development (urban planning, transportation). A separate chapter deals with cultural developments from 1914 to 1945; it provides an integrating perspective on the period’s momentous changes.

Poezja bez niepoezji, czyli meandry poezji czystej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Mazur, Elżbieta
The text is a review of the book by Gustaw Ostasz, entitled „Śladami poezji czystej” (“Retracing Pure Poetry”) and presenting considerations on the relationship between poetry and non-poetry. According to the reviewer the book stands out for its presentation of an important phenomenon in the modern lyric poetry, i.e. “pure poetry” understood as beauty, aesthetic ideal, and the Absolute. She also points out that, as an excellent supplement to the methodological considerations, the subsequent chapters of the book present interpretations of major works of Polish 20th century literature, representing the concept of “pure poetry”.
Europa miejsc i Europa przestrzeni – o mapie wyobrażonej Starego Kontynentu w twórczości polskich pisarzy doby międzypowstaniowej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Dworak, Anna Marta
The subject of this article is the problem of the imagined geography of the nineteenth century Europe in the Polish writing under the partitions in the period between uprisings. A distinction on the Europe of places and the Europe of spaces is the basic proposition of this paper. The Polish authors focused on the specific places – towns, monuments, museum, souvenirs and nature strangeness when they described the Western. They imagined this part of Europe as the collection of places. The spaces were only the complement of this image. The Eastern and North parts of Europe were described differently. The authors rarer referred to particular places. While writing about Volyn, Podolia or Ukraine the Polish authors depicted rampant and vast steppes. Similarly, they depicted the forest landscapes while they writing about Polesia and Lithuania. They perceived the extreme North as rocky and glacial spaces.
„Bijący talent dramatyczny”? Wokół emigracyjnej recepcji „Towarzysza Października” Kazimierza Wierzyńskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Osiński, Jakub
The paper is devoted to the one and only drama of Kazimierz Wierzyński (1894–1969) ‘Comrade October’, written in 1950, and released only in 1992.

The author attempts to reconstruct the circumstances of the creation of the work and to effort to publish and exhibit it, as well as to present the state of research. He show the ‘Comrade October’ against the background of emigratory dramaturgy and theater life, which serves to reflect on the political character of the drama and to analyze the reception of his public readings in èmigrè circles (Theatre ‘Pro Arte’ by Olga Żeromska, 1954).
Literatura polska 1918–2018. Narracje, dyskursy, dzieła
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasterska, Jolanta; Uliasz, Stanisław
The year when the eighth number of “Themes and Contexts” is published, is unique because we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty. It is also an opportunity to look at the contractual century of the “new” Polish literature. In this context of “duration and changeability”, it is important to discuss the work of outstanding poets and writers of the last century, as well as interpretations of important works. This is a convenient time both for reappraisals and for new interpretations seen from a variable, literary perspective. Thinking about Polish literature in 1918-2018, we had in mind the attempts to establish the hierarchy of the most important literary phenomena in the context of political, constitutional and transformational changes. These issues are discussed in the first group of texts entitled Synthesis and reappraisals. Another group of problems connected with the subject of (Post)modern reading introduces the circle of detailed considerations. The research of Polish literature of the last century is conducted by the authors in two ways. In the first one, the researchers adopted a comparative perspective and analyzed new works compiled with works from the interwar period. The second variant is dominated by the synchronous perspective, in which the authors’ attention is focused on the originality of the latest works and contemporary methodologies of studying a literary work and “modern” contexts (social-media, pop-culture, hypertext, blogosphere, etc.). The study of contemporary literature in the context of the works of the past century has resulted in interesting literary and cultural findings. This section, titled Views, is a voice of researchers asking for the restoration of forgotten literary writings, artists (Gniatczyński), single works. The articles collected in the volume authorize the conclusion that these conventional chronological frames cover many literary phenomena, as well as the names of writers who created and create an image of Polish literature of the last century.
“Unprocessed” Holocaust
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Frajlich, Anna
Artykuł jest ustosunkowaniem się do stanowiska niektórych specjalistów od tematyki żydowskiej, że każdy pisarz pochodzenia żydowskiego ma obowiązek pisać o Zagładzie niezależnie, czy doświadczył tej potwornej rzeczywistości, czy też – jak w moim przypadku – los go od niej uchronił. Chociaż wiedziałam, że znaczna część mojej rodziny, której nie dane było mi poznać, zginęła podczas Zagłady, pisanie o czymś, czego nie doświadczyłam, uważałabym za pozerstwo/pozę. Szczególnie wobec literatury tworzonej przez autentycznych ocaleńców. Pamiętam ostrzeżenie Zofii Nałkowskiej, która nie uznawała fikcji na temat Holokaustu. I przecież znane są wypadki takiej właśnie nieautentycznej literatury z przeszłości. Można zapewne zrozumieć, że ci, którzy doświadczyli Zagłady, mogą posłużyć się doświadczeniami w prozie fikcyjnej. Nie tak dawno natknęłam się na dwa teksty, w których zostałam oskarżona o „nieprzepracowanie” Holokaustu w moich wierszach. Takie podejście jest dla mnie niczym innym niż odwrotną stronę rasizmu. Niektórzy specjaliści od tematów żydowskich żywią przekonanie, że Żydzi powinni pisać tylko o Żydach, Zagładzie i znowu… o Żydach. Dla mnie osobiście jedną z ważniejszych lekcji o Holokauście była twórczość Henryka Grynberga, który przeżył tę traumę. Lektura ta stała się dla mnie lekcją empatii, wiele jego utworów analizowałam, recenzowałam, ale nigdy nie pretendowałabym, że coś podobnego przeżyłam. A skoro nie przeżyłam, nie mogłabym tego „przepracowywać”. Moją autentyczną traumą było wygnanie. I dopiero ta faza mojego życia spowodowała „przepracowanie” w pewnym sensie „nieprzepracowanej” rzeczywistości. Dopiero wtedy zrozumiałam, że całe powojenne życie moich rodziców było swoistym wygnaniem, zrozumiałam ich poczucie utraty i tęsknotę za Lwowem. W 1991 roku, zwiedzając Salę Dziecięcą w Muzeum Holokaustu w Jerozolimie i słysząc powtarzane imiona milionów dzieci zamordowanych podczas wojny, byłam w stanie przeżyć autentyczną żałobę po moich nieznanych mi kuzynach. I to zdołałam przepracować.
Kalejdoskop: Poezja Krzysztofa Siwczyka jako przykład ewolucji zmiany poetyckiej na przełomie XX I XXI wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Walczak-Delanois, Dorota
The article is an attempt to synthesize the evolution of Polish poetry after 1990. This symbolic date, associated with the official end of censorship and the symbolic beginning of the new time in Poland and last decade in the twentieth century, has been chosen as a border date. The author is interested in the process of creation and its mechanisms of describing the world in the work of Krzysztof Siwczyk. This poetry is important because it synthesizes the individual and collective experience and reflects the present.
Abd el-Kader o XIX-wiecznej Europie
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Gadamska-Serafin, Renata
As a consequence of being an Algerian leader in the struggle of the independence movement and anti-colonial war against France during the 19th century, Emir Abd el-Kader spent 5 years in a French prison. Later he visited Paris and other European cities on other occasions as well. These events in el-Kader’s life were excellent opportunities to become well acquainted with Western civilization. His work: “Call to the Intelligent, Warning to the Indifferent. Philosophical, religious, historical and related considerations” (Paris 1858) can be described not only as a philosophical work but also as a tactful worldview discussion and a well-balanced, though a little covert, critique of the modern civilization and Western Culture. Despite his enthusiasm for Western culture and its intellectual trends of the time, the Arab thinker saw the profound flaws in the modern, Cartesian rationalism. Being a true adherent to the Eastern beliefs of reason and religion as inseparable entities, el-Kader advocated their alliance also in the field of science. He regarded religion and science as complementary domains. He also reproached European scholars for the rejection of tradition as a source of truth, which he perceived as a mistake. During the time of colonial politics, which was based on political and religious confrontation, el-Kader wrote about the essential unity of all religions and a need for consensus between people of all creeds around uniform values. Abd el-Kader’s work remains to this day an interesting testimony of the 19th-century Europe’s reception by a true Eastern thinker coming from the world of Islam.
Pogranicze polsko-niemieckie w powieści „Tunel” Magdaleny Parys w perspektywie poetyki intersubiektywnej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Trygar, Barbara
A borderland is a special place, in which he is seeking the multilateral inspection “I” and surrounding “I” reality, perceptions other as similar to oneself, and at the same time autonomous in one’s individuality. In the article I am reading the novel out Tunnel of Magdalena Parys in the prospect of intersubjective poetics. An intersubjectivity is an awareness of directing at being in the human environment, in which the agreement is playing a great role social-cultural. In analysis I am paying attention particularly to the narration in the novel Tunnel narration, emphasizing the cognitive dimension which is rooted in human mental abilities for her. Our awareness is functioning under the procedure for permanent directing at the participation other - perceived presence with senses, secondarily encoded in language, conditioning our social behaviour and communications practice. The project of the tunnel is stopping being a decoration, and is becoming a process of penetrating into the concealed ability to understanding any created space by the man and understanding oneself.
Zagadki dotyku (i spojrzenia) w „Cnotliwych” Elizy Orzeszkowej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Skorupa, Ewa
This article is devoted to the analysis and interpretation of the sense of touch in the early novel “The Virtuous” by Eliza Orzeszkowa. Touch is used in emotional or intentional tones, and in its character is the force of interaction: positive or negative. In the novel “The Virtuous”, touch in a physiognomical context was particularly important, which added diagnostic information about the nature of the literary hero. Due to the satirical content of the work, there was definitely more badness in tangibility that distinguished the small-town elite. Among the many categories of touch are “touch for show”, hidden touch, honourable touch, metaphorically-metaphysical touch, and empathic touch.
Melancholia i mitologia. „Noce i dnie” a pokusy słabości
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Chyła, Karolina
The author analyzes tropes and techniques used in Maria Dąbrowska’s „Noce i dnie” both to describe and to simultaneously reject peculiarities of the melancholic identity. She also claims that, despite of abhorrence which such extreme ontological fragility seems to provoke in Dąbrowska’s world, novel as a whole manages to open itself discretely and sensitively to the several aspects of variously understood liquidity, weak subjectiviti and incomplete presence.
