“Poles of Attraction” – Kris Van Heuckelom’s Study of International Migration on Screen
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Rokosz-Piejko, Elżbieta
The article is a review of Kris Van Heuckelom’s 2019 book titled “Polish Migrants in European Film 1918–2017”, which is – as the title suggests – a comprehensive study of the representation of Polish migrants in over 150 European film productions from the interwar period up to contemporary times. The author discusses those films made in Western European countries, in which immigrants from Poland appeared, both as protagonists and as background characters, placing them in a wider social and historical context. The chapters into which the book is divided correspond with the periods of political changes which had an impact on who emigrated from Poland and why. The films analysed, belonging to a wide variety of genres, illustrate the evolving image of Polish migrants and their roles in the societies in which they found themselves.
Twardowski i Teresa
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Szargot, Maciej
Monograph of Alicja Mazan-Mazurkiewicz „Liryka ks. Jana Twardowskiego. Spotkanie ze św. Teresą z Lisieux” is a reading of the works of a priest-poet through the prism of the person and the work of Saint Teresa of Lisieux, called “little Teresa”. It compares the works of a priest and Carmelite nun, as well as their personalities and biographies (above all – spiritual). The work is distinguished by research reliability, sensitivity and loyalty to texts. This is demonstrated by, for example, great interpretations of poems (e.g. „Niewidoma dziewczynka” and „Wierzę”), as well as themes (telephone, kiss, couple ...) and metaphors.
Kornel Ujejski i muzyka
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Maciąg, Kazimierz
Kazimierz Maciąg presents an extensive review of the book by Kinga Fink „Muzyka w życiu i twórczości Kornel Ujejskiego” [„Music in the life and work of Kornel Ujejski”], Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, Rzeszów 2018). Kornel Ujejski (1823–1897), known as the “last great poet of Romanticism”, is a poet who is somewhat forgotten. The analyzed monograph consists of three parts, in which the author presents: the analysis of the musical background on which the poet created, Ujejski’s poetry inspired by music and the history of poems for which music was created. The greatest value of the dissertation is not only to show only the sources and effects of musical inspirations, but also to see in the work of Kornel Ujejski motifs and themes that were and are important for the creators and readers of subsequent eras.
O „Rękopisie znalezionym w Saragossie” w perspektywie intertekstualnej raz jeszcze
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Kowalewska, Danuta
The monograph of Maria Janoszka, entitled “The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki and selected novels from the 20th century (Fowles- -Rosendorfer-Gretkowska)” is the first attempt to tackle the problem suggested by the title. Janoszka tries to show the unusual modernity of Potocki’s masterpiece. She researches the intertextual relations between “The Manuscrip”t and three 20th-century novels (“The Magus”, “The Architect of Ruins”, “Rękopis nieodnaleziony, czyli zalety szubienic”). The author focuses on the composition of works, genre and literary conventions. She also analyze the construction of the protagonist and novel spaces. The book is well documented and it has been written in an interesting way, making the monograph an incentive to continue research on Potocki’s masterpiece, which is a pioneering and still inspiring novel.

The essays in this volume, edited and introduced by Mark Jackson, all answer the question of whether and how postcolonialism and posthumanism meet and inform one another in their response to contemporary debates around the Anthropocene, refugee crisis, environmental collapse or indigenous worldviews.
Od poezji okolicznościowej poświęconej najmłodszym do druków wróżebnych czasów stanisławowskich
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Maksimowicz, Krystyna
The author of the review discusses the latest book by Bożena Mazurkowa that consists of eight chapters devoted to the issues of Polish poetry and prose at the Age of Enlightenment. The book is based on a wide array of sources interpreted from a variety of analytic perspectives. According to the author of the review, the book’s significance results from both the scope of the topics undertaken (including rarely discussed aspects of the writers’ public and private life), and the methods applied in order to analyze the subject.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Błaszczyk, Marek

The article emphasizes the manners of defining relations between understanding and explaining (due to their dialectic connections)
Polish Theatre in the Time of War (1939–1945). Fight—Will to Survive—Losses—Legacy
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Braun, Kazimierz
During World War II Polish theatre people took an active part in the fight with both Germany and the Soviet Union. Several of them fought with a weapon in hand as officers and soldiers of Polish armies in the September 1939 campaign, later as combatants of the Home Army (AK), and also within Polish armed forces fighting abroad. Many more fought with a weapon of the word. While boycotting German sponsored stages in the General Government, they created the whole network of small underground theatre groups. Two major centers of this activity were Warsaw, where the Clandestine Theatre Council (Bohdan Korzeniewski, Leon Schiller, Edmund Wierciński and others) organized and sponsored underground theatre productions and acting studios, and Kraków with The Rhapsodic Theatre (led by Mieczysław Kotlarczyk), The Independent Theatre (led by Tadeusz Kantor), and a circle of artists and apprentices gathered around Juliusz Osterwa, who frequently gave one-man shows. Productions were also prepared in German oflags and concentration camps. The great actor Stefan Jaracz performed for fellow inmates in Auschwitz, Zofia Rysiówna in Ravensbrück, and Roman Niewiarowicz in Dachau. Such productions were recorded also in Soviet camps (gulag system). Soldier theatres were organized at the Gen. Anders Second Corp, then also at the Polish forces under Soviet command. Losses of Polish theatre due to the war were staggering. In terms of material losses, The National Theatre in Warsaw was bombed by the Lufwaffe on September 19, 1939, and eventually Poland lost about 70% of theatre buildings standing in August 1939, plus their libraries, sets and costumes magazines, etc. In terms of human losses, about 300 theatre professionals died (out of about 2000 in 1939). Some were killed in military actions, some murdered in either German or Soviet camps. The losses in the spiritual domain were uncountable. Theatre artists were deprived of the possibility to perform, thus executing their profession and vocation. Theatre spectators were left without their artistic nourishment. The struggles, sacrifices, and deeds of the war-time Polish theatre had a profound influence on the history of Polish theatre of the second half of the 20th century. They were not only an important element of the nation’s war-effort, but—indirectly— contributed to the restoration of Poland’s freedom at the end of the 20th century.
Underneath the Wedding Veil: Class Conflicts in Wyspiański’s „Wesele”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Szczygiel, Veronica
The article discusses the descriptions of social class strife included but masked in the plot and characters’ construction in the famous Polish play „Wesele” (The Wedding) by Stanisław Wyspiański. According to the author of the article, the scenes depicting the wedding customs and party are inherently a façade that attempts to mask class conflicts. The class tensions appear consequently in dialogues throughout the play (especially in its climax) and with regard to several different characters. Their role reversals consist of extrinsic signs, which suggest that they are playing the roles and not actually fulfilling them. Thus, the symbols they use in the play are merely costumes that mask their actual backgrounds, drawing for the readers or audience of Wyspiański’s drama the line between appearance and reality.
When “a Pastoral Romance” Becomes “a Classic Love Story”: Thomas Vinterberg and David Nicholls’ 2015 Adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Rokosz-Piejko, Elżbieta
The article discusses the 2015 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s 1874 novel “Far from the Madding” Crowd in the context of earlier adaptations of Hardy’s texts. It focuses on the modifications introduced in the adaptation process, especially those concerning the female protagonist, Bathsheba Everdeen, aimed at making her more “modern” and balancing her independence,unusual for the 19th century, with the adaptors’ urge to make her the heroine of a romantic love story, which in Thomas Vinterberg’s film surprisingly comes to the foreground.
Zombie nad Wisłą. Na marginesie powieści Igora Ostachowicza i Jacka Dehnela
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Piechota, Dariusz
This article is an attempt to answer the question why zombie motif is so popular in contemporary Polish literature. The author analyses two novels („Noc żywych Żydów” by Ostachowicz, „Ale z naszymi umarłymi” by Dehnel) in which zombies appear. In Ostachowicz’s novel they symbolize Jewish people, who were killed during the 2nd World War. In his story the writer indicates the fact that Polish society has forgotten about their existence. Whereas in Dehnel’s novel zombie symbolizes fascism which is rising in contemporary Poland. It is worth mentioning that both writers use post-apocalyptic genre to talk about fears and prejudice of Polish society. What is more, the writers indicate that violence is now a huge problem in Poland. This convention seems to be the most adequate to discuss about moral condition of society.
Wstręt jako rękojmia afektywnego poznania. Przypadek „Copyright” Michała Witkowskiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Wróblewski, Łukasz
“Copyright” (2001) was interpreted as a story about childhood and adolescence, presenting both experiences of a maturing protagonist as well as the Polish reality of the last two decades of the 20th century. Coming to terms with his own childhood and a search for the language to express his own „self” determines the narration of the book. However, this rhythm of narration is disturbed by objects of disgust that the stories teem with. As a result, the author would like to suggest interpreting the collection of stories by Witkowski from an affective perspective. By analysing the diffrent texts, the author explains what role disgust and its objects play in the collection. It is argued that despite its negative properties disgust may be a necessary condition of self-fulfilment and a source of affective cognition. This happens among others thanks to becoming aware of childhood feelings the main character experienced when confronted with the disgusting people and objects.
„Pozostałam niewidoczna”. O traumie i wykluczeniu w „Krótkiej wymianie ognia” Zyty Rudzkiej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Okrajni, Martyna
The article is an attempt to analyze the motif of trauma and exclusion in „Krótka wymiana ognia” by Zyta Rudzka. The writer used poetics based primarily on fragmentarily, understatements and diversely language stylization showed the difficulty of constructing stories problematizing the scandal of old age, the problem of exclusion and “heredity” of (post)holocaust experiences. The author of „Pałac Cezarów” proves the trauma, on the one hand, is written in the (ageing) human body, and the other hand, old age (as a process) may turn out to be a traumatic experience. In addition, trauma can be a consequence of social stigmatization, but as well as the result of life decisions made.
‘Food Voice’: The Culinary Landscape in Cecilia M. Fernandez’s “Leaving Little Havana. A Memoir of Miami’s Cuban Ghetto”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Martynuska, Małgorzata
The article discusses the ‘food voice’ as a substitute for verbal communication in the memoir “Leaving Little Havana. A Memoir of Miami’s Cuban Ghetto” by Cecilia M. Fernandez (2013). The culinary landscape of the memoir is examined through the anthropological perspective as the foodscape overlaps with the diasporic experience of the protagonists. Foodways show how Cuban identity is constructed in response to social and political developments. The geography of the memoir determines foodscapes by fusing Cuban cuisine with American regional cooking styles. The literary portrayal shows Cubans’ flexible attitude towards acculturation as their Floribbean cuisine maintains continuity with Caribbean cooking styles but, at the same time, it presents readiness to embrace new ingredients available in Florida. The emerging new food culture indicates the formation of complex hybrid identities.
Hypostases of Krzysztof Jaworski’s Poetry
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Trzaskowski, Zbigniew
The article contains a hermeneutic analysis of Krzysztof Jaworski’s poetry. Jaworski is not only an attentive observer of contemporary social reality, a master of retrospection and an internal monologue but first and foremost he is a poet not afraid to ask moral questions. Key words such as truth, self-knowledge, wisdom were used here to present the aesthetic and ethical stratification, to describe the leitmotivs of the interpreted texts and to indicate the significant place of Jaworski’s works in Polish postwar poetry.
Wacława Oszajcy poetycka kontemplacja arcydzieł malarstwa
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Wzorek, Anna
The article discusses poetic reflection of Wacław Oszajca on the masterpieces of world painting. In his lyric, the priest-poet describes paintings belonging to the classics of painting: Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, paintings by Rembrandt (Return of the prodigal son, Sacrifice of Abraham), Hans Memling’s triptych The Last Judgment, and The Last Supper of Salvador Dali. His poems are very short, they are always an attempt to capture the dramatic character of the scene. Among the analyzed poems by Oszajcy, the most interesting, the most valuable one seems to be the work about the image of Rembrandt The return of the prodigal son. It brings accusation of the title character; the author omits important biblical themes - mercy and remorse. Oszajca’s poem describes not only masterpieces of painting, but also serves to recall the lesser known paintings – Crayer or Marian Malarz.
Po co poetom Średniowiecze? Różewicz – Herbert – Miłosz
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Regiewicz, Adam
The paper attempts to describe the concept of the medieval period built by Polish poets: Tadeusz Różewicz, Zbigniew Herbert and Czesław Miłosz. The authors use this concept for the evaluation of contemporary times. The image of the Middle Ages is, on the one hand, an ethical concept abounding in references to the category of Heritage (civilisational and spiritual), and on the other hand, a dark period in which the individual and the human God become lost. The poets prefer using Enlightenment and Romantic clichés, creating a clear ideological view by means of them.
„Mówię rzecz, jak jest – kolor biały nie rozwija się przez niuanse”. Wybrane przykłady funkcjonowania symboliki bieli w liryce Cypriana Norwida
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Wójcik, Maria
The article presents functioning of whiteness as a symbol in Cyprian Norwid’s poetic works, based on selected examples. The author indicates that this issue has not yet been fully investigated and the article is only an outline of the subject due to its extent. The research is focused on several selected meanings: whiteness of the landscape, white color as a symbol of nobility and divinity, of virginity and purity, even of ethical ambiguity. Author also distinguishes between themes of whiteness and pallor. White color can be mainly associated with theme of the light in poetry, which Norwid very often used, but this not makes the only meaning. Ancient and Christian culture defined the semantics of white color as a symbol of purity, virginity and divinity and such meanings dominate in Norwid’s poems. Interestingly, the writer also used the whiteness to describe the nature of evil. The poet juxtaposed the symbolism of white by comparing it to dirt or black color, he accumulated themes related to whiteness as well to show its meaning in a broader context. In conclusion, Norwid, in his poetic works, often used the symbolism of whiteness in the sense determined by culture, however, he did it in an original way, enriching it with his own ideas and associations.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Obremski, Krzysztof
In blurred poems of „Wirydarz poetycki” there is a strong power of sexual desire ant this is the power that rules the human world. There is no such thing as soul in human.

When taking them as most general guide in lecture of blurred poems, we can find the guide which show sus literary culture of this poems.
