„Annehmen. Akzeptieren. Damit leben. Nicht vergessen. Sich erinnern.“ Subversive Erinnerungsverschiebungen der Post-Shoah-Generation in Mirna Funks Roman "Winternähe“ (2015)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Rutka, Anna
The debut novel „Winternähe” by the young German-Jewish author Mirna Funk is a paradigmatic illustration of the post Shoah literature of the third, the grandchildren generation. The novel expounds on against background of the death of Shoah-survivors, the new ways of dealing with the family past and transnational Shoah memory in a complex relation to the globality and mobility as current conditions of the modern life. Funk’s novel also expounds on the subversive strategies, which are inherent in modern virtual communication media like Facebook or Instagram.
Between Silence and Speaking: the Representation of National Identity in Oksana Zabuzhko’s Poetry
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Borysiuk, Iryna
The article is focused on the problems of national identity, self-representation, and memory re-articulation in Oksana Zabuzhko’s poetry. Language, speaking, and word as well as silence are conceptualized as key concepts in verse by the 1980s generation of Ukrainian poets to whom Oksana Zabuzhko belongs. Speaking and silence in 1980s poetry can be treated not only as concepts or metaphors but also as a literary strategy or even as the form of resistance in the late Soviet era. The article is structured as the gradation of motives from speaking to silence in Zabuzhko’s poetry. The analyses includes the following subthemes: non-verbal language represented by sounds, gestures, and poses, verbal language as existing between sacrum and profanum, speechlessness, and silence.
Dekonstrukcja stereotypu a zrozumienie obcości
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Pokrywka, Rafał
The article is a review of the book „Deutschland- und Polenbilder in der Literatur nach 1989” edited by Carsten Gansel and Monika Wolting. In the first part four main assumptions of the volume are described: 1. The presentation of historic transformations in literary texts, 2. The provocative potential of literary texts, 3. The construction of identity in narratives, 4. The construction of symbolic spaces in literary texts. According to these categories the papers of the volumes are examined. Their coherence with the main idea of the volume as well as their methodological foundation are the evaluating criteria of the review.
Die Entzauberung des Westens in Julia Francks Roman „Lagerfeuer“
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Jaśkiewicz, Grzegorz
This text is devoted to the phenomenon of realism in postwar German novel on the example of the younger generation author Julia Franck (Born 1970). The tradition of realistic writing in German literature reaches the first half of the 19th century when mainly Georg Büchner postulated and realized realistic art. Consecutive authors, the great realists of the 19th century like Theodor Fontane saw in realism not only the reflection of reality in literature but embellishing it. After World War II great German writers like Böll, Andersch, Koeppen or Walser recalled Western Germany with its society in their realistic novels. Their characteristic feature was objectively marked narration. And Franck’s novel is this way as well. Told from the perspective of four people it shows what was „talked about”. Repatriation or escape to the West did not mean entering paradise. Runaways still experience humiliation, have to deal with the environment and themselves. The esthetic category is ugliness. And from this perspective the lives of heroes/narrators are analyzed.
Die Mauer steht noch, oder: Begegnungen an der Grenze. Menschen, Geschichten und Konflikte in „Unterleuten“ (2016) von Juli Zeh
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Jurzysta, Aneta
The article is devoted to Juli Zeh’s novel „Unterleuten”, which explores what happens in a small village outside of Berlin, when an energy company arrives with plans to develop a wind farm. Brutality surfaces in many forms, from harassment and deliberate cruelty to perverse acts of revenge. Two old men, a successful agribusiness man and a displaced comrade from the former GDR farming collective, reengage in past conflicts, and their twenty-year-long feud grows into a prime source of vicious ill feeling. The structure of the novel is like a literary kaleidoscope: „Unterleuten” is a place between past and present, east and west, city and province, civilisation and tradition, reality and fiction, true and false, winners and losers.
Drei Metaphern des Exils im neuesten deutschsprachigen Roman: „Gehen, ging, gegangen“ von Jenny Erpenbeck, „Ohrfeige“ von Abbas Khider, „Das Mädchen mit dem Fingerhut“ von Michael Köhlmeier
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Pokrywka, Rafał
The paper is divided into three parts. In the first one the most popular contexts of the research of the migrant literature are named: the actual debate about consequences of migrant policy and the figure of the author. In the second part three central metaphors in the novels of Erpenbeck, Khider and Köhlmeier are presented. These metaphors of exile are: disturbed time, lost life story, incomprehensible language. The third part contains an overview of the reception of the novels in Germany. The conventions of reading focus first of all on the two aforementioned non-fictional references (political context and author) without taking the metaphorical power of the texts into account. Thus the new migrant literature tends to become an equivalent for journalism and is read literally as a testimony of the author.
„Historia miłosna jak jasna cholera”– wybrane wyobrażenia miłości w liryce polskiej po 1990 roku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Żynis, Bernadetta
The article presents several scenes of love in erotics generation of “bruLion”. Although these lyrics are very different, they share the conviction of the impossibility of expressing love of affect, lack of new, adequate language, a good story. The lyrics focus on the presentation of almost behavioral symptoms of feeling. They try using irony, shortcut, allusions, distance, banality and hyperboles find the language of contemporary narrative of love. “Love does not know”, and if you do not know, is not able to speak, doomed to live, not to speak (love belonging to the internal order of biology, nature, instinct and passion can not find in the discourse, he did not embrace and will not carry in other words, what is real, when it passes the symbolic does not mean now what it was). However, the analysed examples show a successful attempt to exceed the “impossibility”, and the record is proof of yet another victory in the words of the inexpressible.
Idea hegemonii kulturowej Polski i Polaków w prozie podróżniczej Aleksandra Sapiehy
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Karpińska, Monika
The aim of the article is to present the idea of Slav present in the prose of Aleksander Sapieha. Traveler in his relation reveals the cultural stratification of the Slavs, focusing not only on diverse religious influences, but also came from different areas of broad culture. Sapieha, noting those delamination, adheres to the idea of the superiority of the Poles among the Slavs, based mainly on the achievements of European civilization. The piece reflects on the idea of cultural hegemony, coming into conflict with affirmed in the eighteenth century, the vision of the Slavic tribal unity.
Kazimiery Iłłakowiczówny dyskurs o utraconej ojczyźnie
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Szpunar, Karolina
Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna’s literary output is unusually rich. The poet was born in Vilnius and she spent her youth in Polish Livonia (now Latvia) which topography played a crucial role in her literary work. The loss of this “little homeland” contributed to the specific creation of the country of her childhood. Livonia and Lithuania became for the author of “The Lithuanian Nightingale” the source of both idyll and pain; the peculiar Way of the Cross. In her works the poet mourns and recalls the lost homeland. She also tries to persuade the warring nations to forgive and make peace. She prays for the disappearance of the borders.

Konflikt jezuitów i masonerii w „Elegii żałośnej, scil[icet], Tryumf francmasonów z wygnania jezuitów z Petersburga” Wincentego Wierzbiłowicza
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Demkowicz, Agata
„Elegia żałośna, scil[icet], Tryumf francmasonów z wygnania jezuitów z Petersburga”, signed by Wincenty Wierzbiłowicz, was composed in the circle of freemasons, soon after the expulsion of the members of the Society of Jesus from the then capital of the Russian Empire. The poem, which refers to the events that were painful to the Jesuits, is saturated with irony and derision. Even its title is ambiguous as in an ‘elegy’ the reader should be presented with poetry expressing grief and lamenting some loss. Yet the author of this composition proclaims his joy over the misfortune that befell the Jesuits. He discredits the value of their teaching and casts serious doubt upon the special bond with Christ that the Jesuits claimed to have. Also, he is sure that the removal of the followers of St Ignatius from Saint Petersburg will wipe out their sense of superiority over the “commoners” and put an end to their infamous equivocation. Wierzbiłowicz describes the Jesuits as “villains”, and the principles and ideas they expounded are associated by him with “filth”. At the end of the poem, its tone changes. The author applauds the designs of Alexander I. Initially, the tsar intended to unite all religions as one and to revive spiritual life beyond the confines of particular denominations. He planned to establish a universal Church. The idea of freedom of religion, propagated by freemasons, concurred with his venture. Freemasons supported Alexander’s initiative and voiced their conviction that, as the Jesuits had been expelled from the Russian capital city, no one could hinder the implementation of the project. It is not known if the Jesuits prepared any direct response to Elegia żałośna, but the reputation and respectability of the order were definitely defended by Józef Morelowski, a Jesuit poet from Połock (now Polatsk, Belarus). In his works, he attacked freemasonry, arguing that members of masonic lodges spread lies about the Society of Jesus.
Konflikt młodzi – starzy w łonie drugiej emigracji niepodległościowej (na przykładzie środowiska londyńskiego w latach 1949–1966). Część I
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Moczkodan, Rafał
Transgenerational conflicts, complaints of the representatives of the older generation on the younger one, objections put forward by the latter to the former are phenomena equally common and, one may say, everlasting (even Plato complained about the Athens youth). War emigrants who found their places in the West of Europe right after they finished their active participation in fights, most frequently left their homeland as mature and well-shaped people. They were assumed as the “old” generation. They were accompanied by children and the youth who got their education in the foreign land, started employment, settled families and also took their first steps on the cultural ground. They were assumed as the “young” generation. Taking these names into quotation marks is justified by their large conventionality, their instability and changeability in time. As I will attempt to prove in this text, the line separating the “old” from the “young” did not only refer to their dates of birth and the age line of division did not definitely settle the whole matter. It was so the more that part of the “young” also took active part in fight and after its ending despite the “old’s” expectations did not share their views and convictions. This problem being connected with others such as the relation to the past and history, relations with the homeland, patriotism and relations to Polishness1 is wide and multithread enough that there is no way to present it in its entirety. Thus I am going to focus on its part which seems to me particularly important for understanding socio-mental relations and structures of the second independence emigration. The subject of my reflection will be texts and speeches showing this conflict which appeared in the circle of published in London students’ journals in years 1949- 1966 around which the later poets’ group Continents was established. This outline presents the chronological order of the conflict, the evolution of the way of thinking of both sides, the most important points of ignition and most visible differences and divisions revealed in this conflict. Due to richness of materials and problems requiring discussion this text has been divided into two parts. The first part comprises years 1949-1954. At that time the conflict emerged and unusually dynamically it developed leading to a clear difference between emigration generations (as it will be shown in the second part of the outline four stages of the conflict can be distinguished in this period). The second part begins with presenting the events of 1955 when the definite division between the „old” and the „young” happened. It is mainly about the November events in Manchester which can be viewed as the climax of the conflict and which initiated its fall. Discussing it along with the division into two phases (the fifth and sixth) ends with a summary and conclusions concerning the course of the conflict.
Konflikt z perspektywy erystyki i eutoryki
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Korwin-Piotrowska, Dorota
The article analyzes conflict as a phenomenon connected with persuasion – close to disputes or quarrels, yet not identical with them. The background for the considerations encompasses works from various fields: sociology, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology, but rhetoric remains in the very center. The author characterizes its part dealing with absolute winning in disputes, i.e. eristic, and it presents a counterbalance to it and to the agonistic attitude. This complement is eutoric (author’s own term) as a branch of rhetoric which concentrates on positive communication based on mutual listening, empathy and a constructive dialogue, which favors prevention of conflicts, or possibly resolving them. Eutoric has its source in philosophy of dialogue, pragmalinguistics, psychology of persuasion, as well as in the theory and practice connected with mediations and negotiations.
Konflikty miejsca urodzenia w „Sońce” Ignacego Karpowicza
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Koprowska, Karolina
The article aims to present and analyse the concept of “birthplace” which combines different components such as topography, landscape and also cultural, symbolic and metaphorical meanings. The human attitude to a birthplace appears problematic and complex, and involves a need to create a more critical perception of own identity. My theoretical investigation is based on an analysis of Ignacy Karpowicz’s novel “Sońka” which deals with strong tensions between individual experience of the civilians and History of wars and violence, difficult relations between collective and individual identity/memory and their specificity regarding village community, ethnic conflicts connected to the Polish-Belarusian borderland and birthplace, as well.
Kontakt i konflikt: polsko-żydowska contact zone
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Prokop-Janiec, Eugenia
This article suggests using the category of contact zone taken from the postcolonial studies in the research on borderland, which allows to describe frontier phenomena and processes in their complexity, multi-dimensionality and ambiguity. Following M. L. Pratt contact zone is understood as the space of cooperation and competition, coexistence and antagonism, contact and conflict of groups. The subject of analysis are the representations of borderland in Polish-Jewish in the prose of 1930s (including the serialized novels published in mass-circulation press). In the centre of interest there is the motive of conflict communication. In the literary renditions interactions between Poles and Jews easily transform into conflict communication and focus on indicating group differences and borders, defining collective identities and their positioning. Conflictive communication appears in various places (school, street, neighbourhood), in various forms (nicknames, arguments, pogrom cries) and functions (from initiating and escalating tensions to inspiring riots and murders), adding to the transformation of a contact zone into a conflict zone.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Suchomłynow, Lech Aleksy

Literackie narracje o kolekcjach
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Skorupa, Ewa
The article concerns collections and collecting as a literary theme. Research on this issue should be undertaken by literary scholars, as collections support the characteristics of literary characters and give heroes their identity. The work analyzed from this angle is “Money” by Andrzej Strug from the year 1914. It interprets and describes three different collections and three different collectors: the eccentric Lyttons and their museum of stones, Lucy Slazenger’s precious jewelry collection and the art collection of Osias Murwaya, an enthusiast of antiquity.
