Lalka i nieobecność. Kilka uwag o bohaterach „Wampira” Władysława Stanisława Reymonta
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Kucab, Mateusz
The article attempts to determine in synthetic way the most relevant spaces of choice as well as activities of the characters of “The Vampire” by Władysław Stanisław Reymont. Disputing with other researchers, we try to portray the characters as thespians who are subordinate to the mechanism of theatre (theatricality) as well as enmeshed with relations of dominance and exploitation (vampiric situation). Having compared the novel with selected dramas by Henrik Ibsen, we demonstrate parallels in subjects and issues that were drawn out by the dramaturgy of the epoch: illusoriness of life, lies of convention, prevalence in family as well as manipulation.
Z Transylwanii do Hollywood i nieśmiertelności. Przypadek Beli Lugosiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Kocot-Wierska, Agnieszka
The aim of the article is to present the film career of a famous actor Bela Lugosi (1882–1956) and its most important turning points. Born as Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó in Austria-Hungary Lugosi was one of the most important stars of „The Golden Age” of Hollywood horror film in the 1930s but soon after his huge success in a role of Dracula in Tod Browning’s film he had to cope with a career breakdown. Horror as a genre and its changes during the 1930s, the 1940s and the 1950s and the myth of Dracula-Lugosi are the main frames of the article. The author describes also his significant place in popular culture and asks about his hypothetical presence in the notable horror film movements that reached popularity just after Lugosi’s death.
