„Panorama badań aksjologicznych we współczesnym literaturoznawstwie polskim” (polemiczne dopowiedzenia)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Obremski, Krzysztof
This publication contains polemic commentaries to the text by Beata Garlej „Panorama badań aksjologicznych we współczesnym literaturoznawstwie polskim” [Panorama of axiological research in contemporary Polish literary studies] („Tematy i Konteksty” 11(16)/2021). This publication has been divided into three parts: “Lublin school (KUL school)”, “Torun school” and “Warsaw school”. The lack of the authoress’s explanations of her understanding of the term ‘school’ allows to overestimate the significance of “Torun school” and underestimate the significance of “»Garden« school”.
Obecność mitu tristanowskiego w nowoczesnej literaturze, filozofii i muzyce
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Halwa, Adrianna
Adrianna Halwa presents a review of the book by Artur Żywiołek “Tristitia moderna – pasja mitu tristanowskiego w nowoczesnej literaturze, filozofii i muzyce” [Tristitia moderna – the passion of the Tristan myth in modern literature, philosophy and music]. Artur Żywiołek in his monograph shows the presence and changes of the Tristan myth in European culture. The author analyzes the turning point of the Modernist era, when there were revolutionary changes in literature, music and philosophy. Żywiołek examines this phenomenon in relation to the Tristan myth, its new interpretations, as well as symbols and cultural codes that it has developed since the Middle Ages.
W kręgu historiografii czasów saskich
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Prabucki Krzysztof
The review describes Piotr Sebastian Ślusarczyk’s book entitled “Horizons of erudition. A study on Szymon Majchrowicz’s Triazoic szczęśliwa królestw”. The cognitive value of this publication is manifested in its extraordinary approach to historiographic matter which is extremely often marginalized by researchers studying the late Baroque literary heritage. The review focuses on showing the erudite nature of Ślusarczyk’s monograph first of all and also examining the antecedents of the ideas explicated in the Jesuit’s work and also polemics with the author about the „Sarmatian nature” of Szymon Majchrowicz’s treatise.
Matka Polka Destruktorka – dwa oblicza dysfunkcyjnego macierzyństwa (na przykładzie „Szopki” Zośki Papużanki i „Gorzko, gorzko” Joanny Bator)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Głos, Mikołaj
The aim of the article is to present two different images of dysfunctional motherhood in contemporary fictional Polish prose on the example of the novel “Gorzko, Gorzko” by Joanna Bator and “Szopka” by Zośka Papużanka. The first of them, represented by the protagonist Violetta Serce of “Gorzko, Gorzko”, fits in the current literature trend of creating an anti-mother character, an enemy who usually perceives a child as a “problem” or is unable or does not want / cannot show him or her feelings, because motherhood it is an obstacle for her. The second is represented by the nameless mother of Zośka Papużanka’s “Szopka”, who identifies the so-called “Gastronomic mother”. The analysis shows that Polish prose of the last two decades still lacks the figure of a mother-friend, and the trauma of being born and growing up in the realities of the PRL’s and capitalism has permanently entered the minds of contemporary writers, destroying optimistic hopes for a successful family life and motherhood.
Bizarne opowieści Dominiki Słowik
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Piechota, Dariusz
“Samosiejki” by Dominika Słowik is a collection of short stories which belongs to recent realist prose that willingly uses the fairy-tale convention. The category of bizarreness plays a key role in this collection, as it is closely related to the world of nature. The protagonists become witnesses to weather anomalies and aberrations in nature, which brings to mind pessimistic visions of an impending ecological disaster. The protagonists are not only observers of the changes taking place in the natural environment, but they also notice the anomalies in themselves. In “Samosiejki” the blurring of the boundary between what is real and what is fairy-tale also includes the boundary between species.
Krąg mitów arturiańskich w twórczości Johna Ronalda Reuela Tolkiena i Andrzeja Sapkowskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Kosiba, Jowita
The article is devoted to the functioning of the Arthurian legends in the works by both J.R.R. Tolkien and A. Sapkowski. The universe of Andrzej Sapkowski, who inscribed his own story into the Arthurian myth, makes an impression of being rooted in a long, centuries-old tradition. Tolkien also drew from the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, using the eternal desire for the coming of the king – restorer. The most interesting issue is the different approach to the legend presented by both writers. Tolkien omitted elements „contaminated” with Christian influence, extracting the pure essence of pagan Celticism, while renouncing an inspiration from the medieval history. Sapkowski, on the contrary, openly admits to his fascination, apotheosing the Arthurian myth in both its forms – the primitive one and the one filtered through the Christian tradition.
Czytając Znanieckiego i Carnapa. Studenckie lata Stefana Żółkiewskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Sidorowicz, Piotr
The article is an attempt to describe the first years of Stefan Żółkiewski’s scientific activity. The author begins by analysing the student duties of a future researcher, looking for his first masters. He also considers the theses contained in Żółkiewski’s thesis and concludes with a description of his activity in the students’ scientific circle known as “Warszawskie Koło Polonistów”. The author of the article tries to point out the genesis of Żółkiewski’s qualities, which characterize his later attitude: a leftist worldview, organizational skills, sociological thinking about literature and concern for the general condition of the humanities.
„Wyspa doktora Moreau” Herberta George’a Wellsa – rewizja tropów mitologicznych
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Ligęza, Adrian
This article puts forward a reinterpretation of the presence of mythological tropes in H. G. Wells’s, “The Island of Doctor Moreau”. Once the various contexts within which the novel tends to be read have been presented, attention is drawn to the interpretative approaches adopted by literary critics, such as Bergonzi, Bowen, Hayes, to name but a few, who search for connections between the author’s chosen text and myths. Among the cited interpretations, we will find references to, among others, Circe, Comus and Prometheus. Availing himself of the research methodology adopted by John White and Marie Miguet-Ollagnier, the author identifies the sections where allusions to the myths pertaining to Daedalus and Dionysus are to be most frequently encountered. At the same time, the author expands on the findings of previous research by highlighting newly-found mythological motifs. In his conclusion, the author of this article highlights the need for Wells’s work to be now read against the background of the mythological allusions which he has identified as being present in the world of this novel.
Wielkie zmiany w małym mieście. Dobre i złe spotkania z nowoczesnością w „Promieniu” Stefana Żeromskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Chyła, Karolina
This article analyses complex and ambiguous aspects of modernisation, depicted by Stefan Żeromski in his intriguing but rather obscure novel “Promień” [“The Ray”] (1898). The writer chooses a provincial town for his scenery – although based on Kielce, it is hidden with a fictional name – which experiences an industrial revolution in miniature. A railroad built in the area, old, solid shops and enterprises brought to death by the modern way of trade and a shockingly radical local newspaper ran by the novel’s protagonists are just a few most striking symptoms of that inevitable and unsettling process of change.
„Natchnienie poezji było nie do wysłowienia ani opisania”. Uczta u Januszkiewicza i prelekcje w Collège de France wśród paryskich osobliwości w dzienniku Franciszka Salezego Gawrońskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Maciąg, Kazimierz
Franciszek Salezy Gawroński (1787–1871) was a Napoleonic soldier, politician, social activist and diarist. Of particular importance in his oeuvre is his previously unpublished memoir written during his travels across Europe in the years 1839–1841. This work, written in a highly individual style, is clearly different from other non-fiction works written in the Romantic era – which is why it deserves special attention. The article consists of two parts. In the first, I present the most important information about the author of the diary and generally characterise the content of this work. In the second part I present a fragment of the diary written during his stay in Paris. At that time Gawroński met with many representatives of the Polish emigration (including Adam Mickiewicz, Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and General Henryk Dembiński) and took part in important events in the Polish community.
„Dusza moja była pełna skarbów bożych od dawna, lecz nie było w niej miłości”. Owoce medytacji Juliusza Słowackiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Duszyca, Paulina
The article focuses on the meditative aspect of Juliusz Słowacki’s spiritual transformation and discusses the fruits of his meditative attitude. The poet’s correspondence became the main research material in the deliberations and findings. The work analyses successively such qualities and derivatives of the poet’s meditative lifestyle as: inner joy and delight, submission to God’s drawing action, spiritual indifference, but also such actions and activities, the specificity and essence of which turn out to be the result of a meditative act. By isolating and examining these particular effects of the act of meditation, we once again agree to the research opinion of Ewa Szczeglacka-Pawłowska that the poet fully deserves to be called homo meditans. The poet’s spiritual transgression has been described many times, however, placing it in the light of meditation allows us to extract new meanings from the issue.
Teatralizacje Cypriana Norwida
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Braun, Kazimierz
The article investigates selected uses of theatricality by the poet and playwright Cyprian Norwid (1821-1883). Based on his previous works on theatricality, among others, his book “Theatricality of Life. Practices and Startegies” (A. Marszałek, Toruń 2020), as well as his numerous publications on Norwid, Kazimierz Braun focuses on four, especially evident, cases of Norwid’s bringing theatricality into play in his life. They are discussed in the chapters of the article: “Norwid on Horseback, Norwid Without a Coat, Norwid in a Cap “Konfederatka”, Norwid as Dalang”. (The latter chapter compares Norwid with an Indonesian Dalang, who is a “total” artist of theatre). Each case of use of theatricality by Norwid brought about a significant literary output such as poems, dramas, short stories and letters.
Przywołania i deskrypcje ruin w dzienniku podróży Walerii Tarnowskiej do Italii
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Mazurkowa Bożena
The main part of this study is preceded by information on the subject of dynamically increasing, since the beginning of the 18th century, participation of Polish women from wealthy houses in social life. It can be confirmed by, among others, their travels abroad to e.g. Italy with its rich resources in the form of works of art including those preserved from ancient times being of great interest then. In the main stream of investigation the author focuses on the preserved French travel journal (“Mes voyages”) of the journey that Waleria from the Stroynowskis Tarnowska undertook to Italy in years 1803–1804 with her husband Jan Feliks and her father Walerian. The analytical and interpretational considerations refer to the fragments concerning the buildings observed by the countess during her Italian journey, which were to a various degree damaged by the power of time or human activity and that was indicated by singled out synonymous terms used for ruins. The crucial aspect of this reflection is concretisation of Tarnowska’s impressions depicted in descriptions from close contact with antique and modern edifices, not too rarely preserved in a remnant form. According to the author of this study references to and descriptions of ruins in the analysed journal are the expression of not a genuine passion but rather of the influence of contemporary fashion for ancient times and great curiosity for the world during the first journey abroad and the will to see and then record in writing all that was required to see during this Italian trip. They also prove psychologically conditioned perception of wors of art.
Geneza horroru jako gatunku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Trofymenko, Anastasija
This article examines the origin of horror as a genre within the cluster of all horror literature genres. The structure of genological-typological evolution of these genres has been analysed. It has been proven that horror, due to its specificity, should be referred to this group of genres which are realized in literature on the basis of genre memory.
Analiza genologiczna podcastu kryminalnego na wybranych przykładach
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Dul, Beata
This article studies in detail two examples of the so-called ‘true-crime podcasts’, following the genological analysis scheme introduced by Maria Wojtak in her “Introduction to Genology”. It addresses not only their textual aspect, but also the audial part. In a broader perspective, this article attempts a systematic investigation of the ‘podcast’ in the genological context (as a relatively new and still dynamically evolving notion, it lacks a genre template) and its correlations within the mediasphere.
Dlaczego zwierzęta? „Poemat o miejskiej rzeźni” jako narracja zookrytyczna
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Juchniewicz, Andrzej
The article’s author proposes a zoocritical reading of Tadeusz Śliwiak’s “Poem about the Urban Slaughterhouse” and poems from other volumes in which animals appear. The basic assumption is an attempt to notice in the volume from 1965 threads testifying to ecological sensitivity, which anticipated the subsequent development of ecological literature. The author, taking into account the poems created since the 60s of the twentieth century, postulates the recognition of Śliwiak as a poet who shows a tendency to include not only people but also animals in the “community of the wounded”. The emotion that allows us to build a new order based on care and responsibility is the humiliation experienced by the poet during his stay in the city slaughterhouse during the Second World War. What testifies to the persistent return of memories from that period is the metaphor of the “scar of memory”, appearing in many poems. The author of the article argues that long-term observation of the mass death of animals could have been a traumatic experience for the poet.
Gatunek dramatu „rewolucyjnego”: transgresje i narodowe matryce genologiczne w kontekście ukraińskich rewolucji XXI wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Bondarewa, Ołena
Considering drama as an operational and mobile genre of literature, it is worth starting a separate conversation about its reactivity in the context of Ukrainian revolutions and liberation struggles of the 21st century. After all, modern Ukrainian “revolutionary” drama has nothing to do with the destructive genre clichés of the traditional “revolutionary drama” of the twentieth century. Signs of the latter were the destructive myth of: the new creation of the world; life from zero cycle; basic benefits for infirm people, given by the revolution; static linear plots; pseudo- -documentary; ideological involvement of protagonists / antagonists. Ukrainian “revolutionary” drama of the 21st century has 2 streams dedicated, respectively, to the Orange Revolution (vitalistic-romantic visions of the revolution as “love on the barricades” and “birth of the spirit”, “The Nutcracker 2004” by Alexander Irvantеs and “Revolution, love, death and dreams” by Pavlо Arie) and the Revolution of Dignity, which was mastered: in prophetic works (“Barricades on the Cross” by Yurko Gudz, “Detailing” by Dmitry Ternov); in the latest documentary strategies that do not require additional theatrical reinforcement (“We, the Maidan” by Nadiya Simchych, “Diaries of the Maidan” by Natalia Vorozhbyt); in hagiographic “To the sharpness of the sixth octave” by Igor Yuzyuk, “OTVETKA@UA” by Neda Nezhdana) and in symbolic and allegorical genres (Neda Nezhdana’s “Maidan inferno, or the other side of hell”, Oleksandr Viter’s “Labyrinth”, Oleg-Mykolaychuk-Nizovets’ “Chestnut and Lily of the Valley”, Oksana Tanyuk’s “Woe (not) my wolf, or Schrödinger’s Cat”, Vladimir Kupyansky’s “Under the Sign of Puy”, “Bogdan 2014” by Ksenia Skoryk, “Knight of the Temple” by Tetyana Ivashchenko, “Women and Snapper” by Tetyana Kitsenko, “Christmas on the Maidan” by Vira Makoviy, “Extreme Modern People” by Mykola Istin and many other dramatic works). This gives grounds to consider the irreversible artistic transgressions of the genre, which due to its efficiency and mobility gets a new quality and new life, which is very relevant in the context of the Maidan topos throughout Ukraine in the Russian aggression in 2022.
Rozmowy istotne „wobec zgiełku spraw nieistotnych”. O interlokucjach Wiesława Myśliwskiego i Tomasza Bocheńskiego. Prolegomena
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Maroszczuk, Grażyna
The aim of this study is a genological analysis of the duo-author book by Wiesław Myśliwski and Tadeusz Bocheński, “Myśliwski-Bocheński. Important conversations” in the context of the ‘new version’ of ‘conversations with the writer’ in the era of internet culture.The guide to the analysis is the question of how this publication engages in dialogue with the convention of ‘significant conversations’ by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, an analyst of the discussion. I ask how the conversations with Wiesław Myśliwski problematize the reflection on literature and literary tradition, the writer’s personal narrative and the communicative situation of the conversation. In Myśliwski’s and Bocheński’s dialogue, tradition, the memory of literature and the attitude towards one’s own memories become rather a default system that the recipient should become aware of if he or she wishes to understand the meanings of the conversation between a prose writer and a literary historian.
O „podkarpackich” wierszach do braci (w stronę antropologii listu poetyckiego; rekonesans)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Kuczera-Chachulska Bernadetta
The sketch deals w ith the problems of the poetic letter. During the exemplification of the issue, poems by Julian Przyboś, Cyprian Norwid and Ignacy Krasicki are used. It turns out that important issues can be seen from the perspective of selected, but also deep anthropological problems, arising from the interpretative process. The tools for understanding them are provided by thinkers of post-Husserlian phenomenology, in this case Dietrich von Hildebrand.
Fantastyka naukowa jako bajka? Rozważania nad „Bajkami robotów” Stanisława Lema
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Gall, Alfred
This paper deals with Lem’s “Fables for Robots” and sheds some light on the genological interplay between science fiction and fairy tale. Its aim is to show to what extent a key feature of fairy tales like magic is transformed within the framework of science fiction. Lem depicts peculiarities of technological civilisation (Gotthard Günther). By referring to the fairy tale Lem draws the attention to the non-technological background in this civilisation, namely the desires and aspirations on which technologies as well as social order are based. In this interconnection of desire and technology lies in the core of Lem’s literary synthesis of fairy tale and science fiction. This synthesis is contextualised on the basis of Lem’s own theoretical works, related discussions of magic in technology (Norbert Wiener, Arthur C. Clarke), and Max Horkheimer’s critical reassessment of modern rationality.
