Czytając „Emigracje intymne” Agnieszki Nęckiej(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Luboń, ArkadiuszThe article discusses the role the dissertation entitled "Intimate Emigrations. On the contemporary Polish biographic narrations" by Agnieszka Nęcka plays in the newest literary research on the issue of postmodernism in novel reconstructions of emigrant authors identities. The research proposed by Nęcka is composed by eight critical sketches on the prose of Zygmunt Haupt, Zbigniew Kruszyński, Manuela Gretkowska, Artur Leczycki, and referred to in comparative contexts of the quasi-autobiographic works by Mikołaj Łoziński, Tomasz Piątek, Magdalena Tulli and Michał Witkowski. These are not merely the profiles of the writers whose works still require a more profound reflection, but also the issue presented in the meaningful title – "Intimate Emigrations" – which permits multi-faceted and varied cultural contexts for the interpretation of their writings. From a narrower perspective, Nęcka’s dissertation constitutes a case study of a prose writer, who – in accordance with the rule of self-placement in the work – creates autobiographies based on the redefinition of the traditional patterns applied as a point of reference for the description of various models of “an exile’s” identity. From a wider perspective, the cases offered in the "Intimate Emigrations" illustrate the internal cultural mechanisms of denial and transformation of modernism, as well as indicate the difficulty in rejecting the heritage, which continues to be present in the contemporary works of postmodernist writers.Pozycja Pasjans na dwóch(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Pasterska, JolantaThe monograph entitled "A New York Solitaire. The Polish Institute of Arts and Science of America. Jan Lechoń. Kazimierz Wierzyński. A Study of Selected Aspects of Its Activity in the Period 1939-1969" by Beata Dorosz is the outcome of a long-term study and laborious preliminary research which document the earliest years of the activity of the Polish Institute of Arts and Science of America and its two major personalities – Jan Lechoń and Kazimierz Wierzyński. Although the book is characterized by a documentary nature and is archive-oriented, full of dates, facts, lists and names, the author has managed to attract the readers’ attention by her lively narration, witty comments, titbits and anecdotes. Due to these, the readers are not only provided with reliable information on the activity of the Institute, but are also introduced to the atmosphere which accompanied the artistic and cultural life of the Polish community in America. Social reshuffling, personal animosities, diplomatic efforts, open quarrels and, finally, the ideas for the ‘dollar whip-rounds’, or generous donations for Polish artists-refugees, complement the colourful story about the people and organizations in emigration. At the same time, a specialist in literature will find here much quality information which illustrates the critical and scientific activity of Lechoń and Wierzyński. Liberally quoted reviews, discussions and lectures confirm their dynamic activity on the account of Polish culture. In fact, the compendium offered by Beata Dorosz delimits new directions of the research into the emigration milieu (and not only) of New York, and provides valuable contexts, in which the interpretation of Jan Lechoń’s and Kazimierz Wierzyński’s works reveal additional meanings.Pozycja Nowa słowacka praca o Iwanie Turgieniewie(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Prus, KazimierzThe review of "Umelecke zobrazenie ĉloveka v romanovom svete I. S. Turgeneva" (Banska Bystrica 2011) by Anton Repoň, a Slovak specialist in Russian studies, deals with the poetics of Turgenev’s novel. The author concentrates on the depiction of characters. To this end, he proposes his own typology of characters, provides a number of penetrating remarks on the specific traits of Turgenev’s realism and tracks the aesthetic reception of his oeuvre by Russian symbolists. There is no denying of author’s diligence, and his contribution to the research into the legacy of the greatest romantic among the Russian realists should be appreciated.Pozycja Niewygodny romantyk – zapomniana twórczość hrabiego Henryka Rzewuskiego(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Dworak, Anna MartaThe study proposed here contains a vast elaboration on Iwona Węgrzyn’s monograph entitled "In the World of Henryk Rzewuski Novels" (Jagiellonian University Press, Kraków 2012, 386 pages). The author deals with the forgotten and barely examined oeuvre of Henryk Rzewuski. She notices that, for many years, Rzewuski’s works have been neglected due to his controversial political views. The author treats these stereotypes with criticism and offers an in-depth analysis of the individual works, trying to understand the political, ideological and artistic choices Rzewuski made. The author depicts the count as an original writer, whose line of thinking was very much different from those of the majority of contemporary writers who condemned him to general isolation and incomprehension. Iwona Węgrzyn discusses almost all the works by Rzewuski and relates them to their contemporary social, political and cultural contexts. Much space has been given to the author’s activities in the literary community at that time. The study proposed by Iwona Węgrzyn is very illuminating. It is characterized by a multitude of the issues addressed and by insightful academic investigations.Pozycja "Wir sind alle mehr oder weniger in Galizien geboren"(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Inglot, MieczysławThe study provides a comprehensive overview of Larry Wolff’s monograph "The Idea of Galicia. History and Fantasy in Habsburg Political Culture" (Stanford University Press, Stanford, California 2010, pp. 486). The reviewed publication shows the problem of the formation of Galician awareness in the province of Austro-Hungarian Empire existing for 146 years, which was described as Galicia. The author of the work presents the various stages of the formation of ‘Galicia’s idea’, referring to the Polish, Ukrainian, Jewish and German-Austrian aspects of political, social, economic and cultural history of the region. The author does not evaluate individual narratives, treats them as equivalent cognitively, yet thoroughly discusses both extensive and minor texts on the basis of their thematic link with Galicia. The basic thesis of the book is the belief about the creation of a kind of ‘Galician nation’ that is common for residents of the region of collective multiethnic and multicultural identity based on the pattern of a Galician as a citizen fully identifying himself with his ‘private homeland’. Wolff’s monograph is a multilateral and interdisciplinary synthesis of borderline political history and cultural history, impressive because of its dimensions of research areas covered by the author.Pozycja Szkoła Juliusza Nowaka-Dłużewskiego. Powinowactwa historycznoliterackie(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Podgórski, Wojciech J.Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski (31.03.1893, Goszcza – 19.04.1972, Warszawa), a literary scholar and historian, a teacher in secondary schools in Kielce and Warszawa. He did Polish Studies and his PhD in 1932 at the Jagiellonian University in the care of his promoter, Professor Ignacy Chrzanowski. During World War II he lectured at Kielce branch of Polish Studies of University of Western Lands. After the war he habilitated in Toruń on the basis of his monograph dedicated to priest Stanisław Konarski, afterwards, he took a job as a substitute for a Professor at Catholic University of Lublin and as an associate professor at University of Warsaw. His teaching and pedagogic service bore fruit in 1938 in the form of the Gold Cross of Merits. Post-war frameworks of reconstruction and the effort of the preservation from destruction of post-courtly collections from the position of the director of the National Museum in Kielce resulted in the Order of Polonia Restituta (1963). Finally, Nowak-Dłużewski’s research and development works met with recognition from the jury of the Włodzimierz Pietrzak Literary Award two times (1964, 1967). The memoir dedicated to Professor J. Nowak-Dłużewski develops from his student’s conviction about the perfection of his didactic and educational mission performed by him with devotion during the difficult times when Communism was on the rampage. We experienced Professor’s special care and foresight in the last decade of his life (1962-1972), when he resolved to “remake us into angels” by destining us for creative work in conditions close to monastic closure – in the team of a PhD seminary. A doubtless protagonist of the given text is our Master, Professor Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski. For this reason, the references include only articles and utterances of particular people with the intention of underlining our interpersonal master-pupils bond. To my mind, this aspect appears to excuse the author in the eyes of Colleagues as well as Readers.Pozycja Kilka uwag o komunikacyjnych aspektach ironii w poezji Stanisława Barańczaka(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Dźwinel, KamilStanisław Barańczak’s poems share one common feature, that is their exquisitely well-thought and refined construction. The lyrical subject of Barańczak’s poetry is shaped by the application of ironic devices. It is irony that allows to create a "protective zone" by which the poet encircles the most complicated issues connected with the understanding of people (in a poetic, but also in a philosophical sense). On the basis of selected examples, the article presents some communicative aspects of the poetic discourse of irony. A poet aware of his own technique (he was also a literary researcher), Barańczak was seeking for a modern and up-to-date research formula in which the play with irony and vivid functionalism of the subject within the scope of the poem are meant to be the major means of conveying poetic sense.Pozycja „Kontynenty” (marzec 1961 – grudzień 1966)(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Moczkodan, RafałThe article presents the fate of the fifth mutation of the magazine published by the London group of poets known as "The Continents". The author presents the problems with which this monthly magazine contended (the lack of funds, the arguments and internal conflicts within the editorial team, the critical attitude of the emigrants’ older generation), its programmatic/thematic evolution, largely dependent on the opinions and views of subsequent chief editors, the assessments and judgements of the people interested in "The Continents", as well as the circumstances of the cessation of the publication. The final section of the article points to some common characteristics which link all five mutations of the magazine.Pozycja Ideał szczęścia rodzinnego w powieści „Szczęście rodzinne” Lwa N. Tołstoja(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Repoň, Anton"Family Happiness" by Lev Tolstoy is an honest confession of a woman who, despite being beautiful and married, having children, a comfortable apartment, etc., feels the lack of something in her life. Tolstoy undertakes a profound analysis of the factors determining the relations between women and men, as well as the reasons for suppressing the love between them. He seeks for the reasons, the wrongdoers and the ways of rescuing marriages. In his work, Tolstoy in a literary form outlines a classification of marital relations and answers almost all the questions which have bothered mankind. In his view, the recipe for family happiness is simple: "We all – but, first of all, you women – have to personally experience the meaningless of life in order to return to its basis", and then: "a new sense of love for the children and the father of your children lays the foundations for another, totally different, happy life". Generally, the novel "Family Happiness" constitutes the end of Tolstoy’s ideological and artistic search period, when he tried to escape from a social muddle and find a rescue in art, nature and the management of his property. Apart from the intriguing plot, the novel provides an outline of the psychological and moral aspects of married life. Many readers will be interested in them, some will be outraged and unable to come to terms with the author, but, definitely, no one will remain indifferent.Pozycja Kulturowy wymiar „Za kulisami” Cypriana Norwida(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Braun, KazimierzThe article constitutes a chapter from the book “Mój teatr Norwida” (“My theatre of Norwid”) by Kazimierz Braun, prepared for the publication by the University of Rzeszów publishing house. The article contains the analysis of “Behind the scenes” by Norwid from the point of view of the history of culture, drama and theatre. At the same time, the article refers to the author’s experience who – as the director – staged the play at the TV Theatre in Warsaw (in 1966) and at the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Cracow (in 1970).Pozycja Literatura. Nieszczęśliwy polonista i płynna nowoczesność(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Kalandyk, MariuszThe main thesis of the article is the conviction that the efficiency of Polish teachers’ influence on their students depends on several factors, including the following: restoring the readers’ commitment by making literature classes more attractive, enriching teaching styles during Polish classes, introducing new theoretical literary ideas into the school practice and creating a dictionary of intersemiotic poetics. The author presents the state of readership in Poland as a starting point for finding the reasons for the crisis of Polish teaching at school. Moreover, he shows various social, cultural and civilisational contexts which have changed the position of the Polish language classes in the hierarchy of importance of school subjects. However, the main issue here is the problem of the effective use of various theoretical literary interpretations in order to increase the attractiveness of reading the books from the obligatory reading list, as well as other cultural texts. It seems particularly relevant to convince teachers of the importance of their theoretical and methodological competences, allowing for the new styles of reading in the pedagogical practice. The article outlines selected directions of research and their possible pedagogical applicability. It also emphasises that in the “No Reading Age” it is essential to look for the forms which may facilitate the comprehension of belles-lettres and create a universal language of terms to describe the nature of numerous artistic phenomena (prose, poetry, films, paintings, etc.). Moreover, the article presents the advantages of new core curriculum, in which textocentrism becomes the main didactic directive.Pozycja „Wolałbym nie” – szkolne życie poetyki(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Skrzypczyk, MirosławThe article deals with the subject of the application of poetics in everyday school life and it essentially focuses on its presence in upper secondary schools. On the basis of his experience, the author makes a general observation that poetics is only apparently in a good condition at school, whereas it is actually subject to the schematic structural method, which constrains, rather than facilitates, an in-depth reading of a text. In consequence, the author suggests that a Polish teacher should constantly make an effort to correct the present system, not yielding to the overimposed patterns of thinking or examinations standards.Pozycja Poetyka w liceum… Zstąpmy na ziemię!(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2013) Matusiak, BarbaraThe article analyses the results of the surveys conducted among teachers and students concerning the scope and the form of the application of poetics in upper secondary schools. It also presents an evaluation of the usefulness of this field of education in school practice, both with regard to the core curriculum and to the examination standards in force during the General Secondary Education Exam in Polish. The article also addresses the questions of the extent to which school teaches poetics for the purpose of good grades at the above-mentioned exam, and the extent of the actual need to discuss the artistic organisation of a literary work with students.
