„Ja, Ahaswer”. Motyw tułaczki, podróży, pielgrzymowania w trylogii Piotra Bednarskiego „Błękitne śniegi i inne rejsy po złote runo”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Wal, Anna
This article focuses on the topos of Ahaswer (The Wandering Jew) in Piotr Bednarski’s trilogy „Błękitne śniegi i inne rejsy po złote runo”. The creation of the main character of the series is analysed in the light of the author using the already established scenario provided by culture in the form of a legend of Ahaswer. Bednarski chooses the figure of the Wandering Jew as the one which most aptly reflects the life situation of the protagonist-narrator of the trilogy. The author emphasises chiefly two aspects of the meaning of the discussed motif in culture. The character of Ashwer is used as synonymous to Jewishness and as a universal representation of the lot of a wanderer.
On the Conceptualisation of LIFE in the melodrama “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Dale, Inga
According to Conceptual Metaphor Theory (hereafter: CMT), conceived by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980), metaphors are not merely rarely occurring poetic or stylistic features of language. On the contrary, as the scholars point out, conceptual metaphors have their origins in our bodily experiences of the world around us. Hence, they are ubiquitous and have a consequently profound influence on our thoughts and actions. This paper aims to show that people, life, love, romance, birth, life stages, life goals, progress made, obstacles along the way, successes and failures, emotions experienced, as well as time, death and the afterlife are conceptualized in modalities of a SOURCE-PATH-GOAL schema, JOURNEY and MOTION IN SPACE domains in accordance with CMT. This is achieved by analysing a monomodal discourse using the Pragglejaz Group (2007) method and an online Cambridge English Dictionary. For the study, I have used a selection of monologues and dialogues of Benjamin Button, the protagonist, together with the characters who have the greatest impact on his life in the Eric Roth screenplay of a melodrama entitled: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, directed by D. Fincher and based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
Patrząc na mapę, spoglądam w nicość… Wokół melancholii i nudy w wybranych tekstach prozatorskich Andrzeja Stasiuka
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Lech, Jacek
The paper aims at showing the link between Andrzej Stasiuk’s selected prose texts and the beauty of melancholy. The way in which melancholy functions in literature in the period of postmodernity was the starting point for our considerations. We have focused on the way this notion has been radically changed by postmodernism and how it has been deprived of its spiritual importance. The beauty of melancholy is part of Stasiuk’s novel in two ways. First and foremost, this concerns the texts about travelling in which it seems to be a reflection on reality and is inextricably linked with the categories of memory and existence. As stressed by Stasiuk, melancholy has its root in suspicion concerning reality tactics. It may be regarded as ‘melancholy of the way’ and in this sense it is accompanied by a spiritual burden directed against postmodernism. In turn, in 'Opowieści galicyjskie' and 'Zima' it is equated with the boredom and humdrum nature of small-town life. Deprived of its spiritual being it manifests itself as an example of existential torpor and stagnation which are part and parcel of Stasiuk’s characters who – in turn – are painfully stricken by bad fate and function thoughtlessly in lives which they fail to run away from.
Post-fenomenologiczna narracja w powieści Bieguni Olgi Tokarczuk
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Trygar, Barbara
In the paper we make an attempt to read out the post-phenomenology of Henri Maldiney in the novel 'Bieguni'. Maldiney’s post-phenomenology is not treated as a doctrine, but an action and an activity made against the elements of psychoanalysis and postmodernism. The world depicted in 'Bieguni' is one in which we can observe continuous movement and compulsion. The border between the entity and the world they are living in has been erased. It is the world in which a man has to choose his identity. “Being on one’s way” opens a person to new experiences and inspires him/her to some creative actions. Neither the nomadic thinking nor the format of writing are growing; not in some determined theoretical place, and not either in some well-defined writing style. The identity of the individual seems to be set, and formed only by his self-understanding. Tokarczuk’s 'Bieguni' is becoming part of an important discourse on the literature of the 21st century. It is not necessary to consider narrations only in the aesthetic context, which is cleaning the world up, but as the act of mind turning life into art. Every man is a wanderer travelling not only in the physical but also cultural dimension, and such journeys have both literal and metaphorical meanings. A walk consisting of seeking oneself as an artist, spiritual and intellectual travel, and exploring the world of symbols, are the professional domain of authors, and at the same time an excerpt of their mythology.
