Michel Foucault’s return to the history ([and] literature)
Michela Foucault powrót do historii ([i] literatury)
Bielecki, Marian
The article is devoted to the functioning of the notion of „history” in Michel Foucault’s methodological project. The subject of interest is the author of Discipline and Punish as a theoretician of the historiography, literature and textual self-creation. In other words, the article discusses Foucault’s three projects: 1) a revision of history as a research subject – from understanding it in categories of continuity and identity to perceiving it in categories of non-continuity and differences, 2) interpretative and inter-textual literature – and its history of the same type, 3) „the aesthetization of existence”.

Life of other stories
Życie innych historii
Tomczok, Paweł
The article deals with the issue of alternative, counterfactual and non-existent stories. The first part distinguishes between literary and historiographic presentations of non-existent worlds – literary visions of alternative stories by Philip Dick or Richard Harris are confronted with texts by Niall Ferguson or Alexander Demandt. The second part discusses methodological-philosophical issues connected with writing about non-existent past while the last one was devoted to the Muse of Distant Journeys by Teodor Parnicki, a novel in which two counterfactual stories appear, a journey with a father which did not happen because of Brunon Parnicki’s death, as well as the history of the fourth kingdom when Poland won the war after the November Uprising. Parnicki uses both literary and historiographic conventions of alternative stores in his works. On the one hand, he researches the subject-matter, e.g. summarises the history of the alternative nation, and, presents episodes from a literary-political history of the fourth kingdom on the other.

Fantasy – playing with a reader for the history
Fantasy – gra z czytelnikiem o historię
Gąsowska, Lidia
The article concerns the problem of literary references of the fantasy trend to history. The author reviews various contemporary Polish fantasy novels by Sapkowski, Komuda, Jabłoński, Dębski and others) in which strictly historical knowledge was mixed with fabrications and magic elements. The conception of Sapkowski’s „retelling” and euhemerization (historical literalization of legendary figures and mythic events) was referred to.

"Kuchenne schody" Emila Zoli. Historia obyczajowości po wielkich przewrotach
Kuchenne schody by Emil Zola The history of morals after great revolutions
Rozpłochowska-Boniatowska, Agnieszka
The very text, the formal basis of which constitutes the analysis of Kuchenne schody, the tenth volume of a big novel cycle by Rougon.Macquart constitutes an attempt to multiply Emil Zola and present one more dimension of the very author and his work; no longer denied dignity and faith of spoil painter and naturalist eliminated by theoreticians, but a piercing diagnostician in a generation contemporary to him deciphering correctly reflections of decadence. This time, decadence is not marked aristocracy, as one may presume, but middle class and bourgeois in the most bourgeois version. In Zolafs works former heroes of resolution suddenly transform into immoralists avid for the consumption in whom a feverish pursuit of pleasures is merely a form of concealing satiety and spiritual exhaustion of characters.

The history for sale in Boski Juliusz and Nazo poeta by Jacek Bocheński
Historia na sprzedaż w "Boskim Juliuszu" i "Nazo poecie" Jacka Bocheńskiego
Konończuk, Elżbieta
The subject of the article is a mechanism of popularising historical knowledge, that is, a situation in which the past becomes the good while the receivers the „consumers of the history”. The subject of interpretation illustrating the problem are the novels Boski Juliusz (1961) and Nazo poeta (1969) by Jacek Bocheński. In the first text, the narrator-antiquarian, in the second, the narrator-master of ceremony, tell the ancient story, giving it an attractive form of antiquarian’s records and stage productions. In both cases, narration takes place in space which is commercial in nature that is why the products created in it, an antiquarian and master of ceremony narration, also become the market aim. Thus, narrators take on the function of trade intermediary offering customers the knowledge about the past. As intermediaries, they bring knowledge about historical facts within the history understood as a university discipline into the area of a colloquial historical awareness.

The history, deconstruction How Tomasz Burek and Ryszard Koziołek read the Prologue to the second part of the Face of the Moon by Teodor Parnicki
Historia, dzieje, dekonstrukcja. Jak Tomasz Burek i Ryszard Koziołek czytali "Prolog" II części "Twarzy księżyca" Teodora Parnickiego
Uniłowski, Krzysztof
A large Prologue to the second part of the Face of the Moon by Teodor Parnicki shows a mechanism of a complicated bureaucratic-counterintelligence in Byzantium in the middle of the fifth century. The task of agents (recruited among unemployed rhetoricians) is to make the most precise reports, however, as Tomasz Burek, a critic, has noticed, they do not follow the course of events. After years, similar remarks were made by Ryszard Koziołek in his work devoted to Parnicki’s trilogy. Referring to these remarks, the author of the article claims that a dynamic relation between an event and word in Parnicki’s novel is similar to a „source difference” typical of a language of deconstruction. Thus, one can speak of analogies between Parnicki’s prose from the 1960s and Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction deriving from the criticism of phenomenology at the same time. Eventually, the history taking place seems to be an event muddle in Parnicki’s works, around which something happens, though, we cannot definitely say what happens in fact. Reality, „ungraspable and unembraceable” becomes marked with stereotypical female features, taking on the status of an unapproachable object of desire. At the same time, it is being constantly disciplined by écriture masculine, an institutionalised discourse of a patriarchal culture while a monstrous SCHOLA AGENTORUM from the Prologue to Parnicki’s novel may successfully be considered a hyperbole of such a discourse. Maksymian, the main protagonist, chooses another discourse which is confronted with a Nietzschean principle of vita femina.

Theological basis of the image of history in poetry by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński
Teologiczne podstawy wizji historii w poezji Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego
Baran, Justyna
The image of God in ***[„Śnieg jak wieko żelazne”…] by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński may become not only a key to the poem interpretation, but also a starting point for considerations concerning the poet’s perception of history. Theological aspects are tightly connected with historio-philosophical ones whereas the image of God reflects the changes taking place in the subject of the poem as it recognizes the sense of the history. A diagnosis concerning the history of the world, formulated in the poem, is the result of the image of God in which Christian, Judaic and mythological elements have been combined. The very measures give an insight into an effort taken in order to search for the sense of the history at the time of extermination. At the same time, however, one can notice „self-therapeutic” actions , the subject of the text finds the world’s Logos. Also, poet’s poetical imagination, contaminated with cruelty and evil, gets restored.

Photographies from the memory On returns into the past in poetry by Julia Hartwig
Fotografie z pamięci. O powrotach w przeszłość w poezji Julii Hartwig
Flakowicz, Marta
The author of the article reflects on the category of memory in poetry by Julia Hartwig who constitutes the identity of the lyrical subject through a constant reference to the past. The motive of eyesight and photography, as noticed in frames, overlaps with the idea of repetition, being memory’s work against emptiness. The reality of the history, uncovered and turned inside out by a poetical „I”, combines with a dreamy vision and sub-consciousness many times. The role of memory turns out to be two-fold; a destructive and sense-illuminating one, including the element of distance and sublime. Distance in the light of memory demythologizes it, exposing „infidelity” in the light of what it has been entrusted with. Miłosz’s conception of testimony as a proof of existence appears important for considerations on memory in poetry by Hartwig. When confronted with a desire to retain things in a whole image, the awareness of emptying memory is consolidated by a dramatic nature of the attitude visible in works by the author of Czułość.

Metaphor and ethics in narrations on the Holocaust Literary quality regained
Metafora i etyka w narracjach o Holokauście. Literackość odzyskana
Sokołowska, Katarzyna
Te author of the article reconstructs a discussion concerning a crisis of a „literary quality” within Shoah’s presentations. Initially, as a part of discussion, the literature of the Holocaust was getting closer to the forms connected with the document according to the plan. The theoreticians pointed to the chronicle as a form close to an ideal version which would allow for a literal presentation of facts concerning the Extermination. In the context of the argument around a figurative language, what seems interesting is Alvin H. Rosenfeld’s position expressed in A Double Dying. Reflection on Holocaust Literature. The author of a Double Dying explains why a „literary quality” becomes a desirable element in descriptions of the Extermination. He emphasizes that the poetic nature of prose and a literary „image” of the very event is most strongly retained in the memory. Polish and foreign researchers have been highlighting the importance and function of a metaphor, irony, grotesque, symbols and myths present in narrations on the Extermination, even those non-literary by nature since the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.

A Road to Maus A cartoon and literary paradigms in a discussion on the presentability of the Holocaust
Droga do "Maus". Komiks a literackie paradygmaty w dyskusji wokół przedstawialności Holokaustu
Wolski, Paweł
The author considers theoretical entanglements of cartoon presentations of the Holocaust. In the beginning he reminds of exclusive researchers’ opinions claiming that the truth about this horrible event is either substantially narrativised, structures in subsequent literary presentations or a description allows for pure and „non-literary” facts exclusively as any other attitude is considered unethical. A detailed analysis of Maus by Art Spiegelman and Josel by Joe Kubert, allows for treating the former as a group of narrativised texts while the latter as the group of chronicle ones. The very dichotomic division is doubtful from the very beginning. The author points to various combinations of factographic and constructivist qualities in each cartoon. The aim of the article is to formulate a hypothesis according to which a narrator telling about the Extermination is divided into a textual and extra-textual „I”, as a result of which the whole story is fictitious in nature and testifies to a substantial non-transmittability of the truth about the Holocaust.

Counterfactual simulations of the future
Kontrfaktyczne symulacje przyszłości
Marcela, Mikołaj
Slavoj Žižek in one of his books (In Defense of Lost Causes) suggests thinking over the conception of „the time of project” by Jean-Pierre Dupuy as a future project of the left wing. For the French, „the time of Project” is „the time of a closed measurement between the past and the future, the future is a resultative product of our actions from the past, the way we act is defined by our anticipation of the future and reaction to this anticipation”. Thus, it goes about introducing a new (non-linear) notion of time, which, as the only one, can help us face a global (whether it be an ecological or cosmic) disaster. Such a perspective must raise doubts, especially in the context of remarks made by Carl Marx himself on the one hand, developed in All That Is Solid Melts Into Air by Marshall Berman, and on the other, in the light of the newest models delivered by contemporary science which assume that knowledge or the assumption itself in relation to the future changes of our way of thinking about it, and, even more, the future as such.

Juliusz Słowacki – a drama of rejected man and author
Juliusz Słowacki – dramat człowieka i twórcy odrzuconego
Sudolski, Zbigniew
The author makes an attempt to show that a drama of rejection, being a frequent phenomenon in biographies of great Romanticists, was also one of the main motifs of Juliusz Słowacki’s writings. He himself was also convinced that he was “structuring drama” with his life. The sphere of Romantic eroticism is largely extended in his biography. A personal drama of a poet-Romantic was completed by his desire of fame rejected by the contemporaries. It even took on the form of a failed battle with Stanisław Ropelewski. The drama of rejection, however, was far from the truth, when reading a description of Słowacki’s writings in a critical article (Kilka słów…), and a private correspondence with Zygmunt Krasiński.

Futurum in Słowacki
Futurum w koncepcji Słowackiego
Kasperski, Edward
The author of the article discusses the structure, aspects, usage and role of the time category of futurum in Juliusz Słowacki’s works against the background of a Romantic philosophy of time and artistic solutions in this field. He refers this futurum particularly to the Romantic cult of the past, absorbtion of the present, reflection on eternity and time defragmentation into separated and mutually isolated moments (the very phenomenon is known in the literature of the subject as Momentanisierung der Zeit). He explains the presence and up-to-dateness of futurum in Słowacki by means of four main factors: a) anticipation of reception, b) heterotelic orientation of writing wishing to change the reality, and, thus interest in its shape in the future, c) autobiographic (existential) situation of the poet confronted with a prospect of forthcoming death, d) historiosophic vision exposing a necessary extermination of existing forms, and a must to form new ones. Słowacki shared August Cieszkowski’s opinion, who considered the future as “an integral part of the history presenting a fulfillment of human fate”, but radicalized him because he replaced a cumulative vision of “the end of history” as a synthesis of everything that humanity achieved in the course of its development with a substitute vision, namely a vision of a “progress on the piles of the corps”. The end of the history equaled the extermination of old forms and constitutes their new and better opening.

What an irony! On Juliusz Słowacki
O, ironio! Rzecz o Juliuszu Słowackim
Ławski, Jarosław
The subject of the article is an interpretation style of Juliusz Słowacki’s works worked out as late as in the 19th century, and retained in the 20th century in outstanding readings by Juliusz Kleiner. The very style pays little attention to such phenomena in Słowacki’s poetics as irony, sarcasm, inter-textualism, and grotesque, The author of the article suggests a reintroduction of an ironic reading of Słowacki’s dramas and poems different form a serious and idealistic interpretation of writings by Adam Mickiewicz.

Pamiętnik by Juliusz Słowacki A project of a draft reading
"Pamiętnik" Juliusza Słowackiego. Projekt lektury brulionowej
Szczeglacka-Pawłowska, Ewa
Pamiętnik 1817–1832 is a realization of a theological concept (when referring to autobiography explained by among others John Sturrock). It was written by Słowacki “from the end” as a document and evidence proving the choice of his life-path. The very choice was considered by the poet (and this is a statement he stack to) as the ultimate, mainly he made a conscious decision to become a poet, not only in a creative and artistic sense, but also in a professional one, which was connected with many life consequences concerning him, his relatives and the evaluation of facts from the past. Apart from a theoretical-literary frame of the article (the poet’s theological attitude to life experiences) there is also a historio-literary frame – an interpretation of Pamiętnik as an example of a draft (diary) work. The author distinguishes a separate place for this type of works, introduces the notion of a draft (diary) Romanticism covering a large portion of various types of texts which, because of decisions made by their authors, were not published in the epoch, but remained in drafts, diaries, pieces of paper or other manuscripts. A draft Romanticism is a different proposal of interpretation of epoch texts than the “open” Romanticism, that is, an interpretation based on texts published in the epoch. The third part of the study is an attempt to make a detailed analysis, according to theoretical assumptions of a draft reading, of a Sonnet written down by Słowacki in Pamiętnik about 1832 in a different form than the canonic version from 1827. The author does not treat the Sonnet included in Pamiętnik as a text edition from 1827, but as a meaningfully different (separate) literary work.

An anthropological and existential current in early works by Juliusz Słowacki
Nurt antropologiczny i egzystencjalny we wczesnej twórczości Juliusza Słowackiego
Żbikowski, Piotr
The article presents an anthropological and existential conception of world and man creation in early works by Juliusz Słowacki. The most characteristic feature of this conception is searching an identity of homo sapiens. What is shown here constitutes above all the convictions concerning the nature of man and the fate of the world, and their individual as well as individually-marked dimension typical of Słowacki’s works representative of the whole epoch.

To see a friend Słowacki about Krasiński
Widzieć przyjaciela. Słowacki o Krasińskim
Toruń, Włodzimierz
The very sketch entitled To see a friend. Słowacki about Krasiński makes an attempt to answer the question how Słowacki perceived Krasiński and his writing. The documentation in question shows that Słowacki treated Krasiński as a friend, a soulmate, a friendly and sensitive critic of his own works. The opinion of the author of Irydion was of great importance for Słowacki, and infrequently quoted by him. The relationship bonds did not eliminate the differences between both of them. As they often agreed when it comes to poetics and aesthetics of their works, some controversies were observed at an ideological level. In spite of that, Słowacki, predicting death, perceived Krasiński as his continuator and a great man who is strong enough to bear the burden “of millions of people” to some extent.

On two adaptations of Mazepa by Juliusz Słowacki
O dwóch adaptacjach "Mazepy" Juliusza Słowackiego
Kempna-Pieniążek, Magdalena
On the example of Blanche by Walerian Borowczyk (1971) and Mazepa by Gustaw Holoubek (1975), the author of the article presents two different proposals of reading a drama by Juliusz Słowacki. As Holoubek’s work seems to be an attempt to look at person relationships presented in Mazepa from the angle of the categories close to psychoanalysis, Borowczyk’s film is dominated by a quasi-religious discourse. What plays an important role in the article is considerations on a different status of drama characters (especially that of Amelia and Blanche) in his adaptations and movie means by means of which the directors created their visions. Substantially different ways of reading Słowacki’s work point to two different adaptation strategies: where Borowczyk chooses a creative interpretation, Holoubek seems to look for hidden senses of drama.

Again on Beatrix Cenci by Juliusz Słowacki
Jeszcze o "Beatrix Cenci" Juliusza Słowackiego
Sieja-Skrzypulec, Hanna
Hanna Sieja-Skrzypulec makes a comparative interpretation of the drama and its Kraków staging from 2009 directed by Maciej Sobociński (a premiere in The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre) making the notions of re-creation and repetition, as well as a teatrum mundi topos the key words. The author points to a consciously emphasized “mirror” structure of drama in staging, reinforced on the stage by multimedia. The text concentrates on the image (face) of Beatrix (painting reproductions, movies, theatrical staging), hence her identity and dignity had to be defended in the patriarchal world.

“Jest tylko Beatrycze. I właśnie jej nie ma” Sketches to the portrait of Beatrix Cenci
„Jest tylko Beatrycze. I właśnie jej nie ma”. Szkice do portretu Béatrice Cenci
Jochemczyk, Mariusz
To see literary “paintings” and understand painting “texts”, thus, to pierce the mystery of works, the character of which is a Renaissance murderer (Béatrice Cenci) is the aim of this article. Romantic fascinations with the person in question are reflected in works by such great authors as Shelley, Stendhal, Hawthorne and Słowacki. The book Beatrix Cenci, written by the last of the authors mentioned constitutes a research point of culmination: it completes the stage of an installed character this time in a universe of a Romantic drama.

Słowacki’s tears A reconnaisance
Łzy Słowackiego. Rekonesans
Piechota, Marek
When the historian of the Polish literature thinks of Romanticists’ tears, he momentarily remembers a „tear-poem” by Adam Mickiewicz , five verses on an incipit Polały się łzy me czyste, rzęsiste…, around which an extremely rich literature of the subject has been created. Yet, Słowacki has his own poem which should impose itself in this context and require interpretation. This is a lyrical miniature, an elusive fragment on the disillusion of words: Bo to jest wieszcza najjaśniejsza chwała… (the very poem has been interpreted only once within the studies conducted). On a closer look, it appears that the motif of tears is frequent in Słowacki’s works as he did not leave tears in his real biography be it at home or in his books for children and youth. A full realization of the project on Słowacki’s tears would make a thick book, while in this article just a reconnaissance.

Towiański and Towianism in Słowacki’s writings Apotheosis – disappointment – criticism
Towiański i towianizm w pismach Słowackiego. Apoteoza – rozczarowanie – krytyka
Krysowski, Olaf
The evolution concerning what Słowacki thought about Towiański and Towianism ranged from a sincere affirmation, and even a deep identification with master’s point of view, to strong criticism and withdrawal from Koło Sprawy Bożej. The poet’s opinion on Towianism followers turned spontaneously and rapidly into a negative direction when he started noticing narcissist and pro-Russian attitudes in his brothers. The text fragments testifying to betrayal and disgrace reflect this radical change concerning the author’s attitude to the organization most visibly. The vision of a spiritual church was dominated by Słowacki’s belief that Koło changes into a sect subject to tradition and moral rigors imposed on by Towiański.

King-Ghost and playing with words
"Król-Duch" i gra słowami
Paszek, Jerzy
The article presents a new approach to the language and style of Słowacki’s biggest work in terms of quantity (two volumes of inedits and separately printed first rhapsody of King-Ghost). The very sketch shows shaping and transformations of selected poem octaves, their masterpiece rhymes, any rhetoric pen moves in the sphere of syntax (a preference for sophisticated zeugma or surprising word clashes), hidden and camouflaged semantic play (references to a real or poetic etymology of particular words, perseverance of “stars” and “starwomen”. Also, the issues of editing mystic works by Słowacki intriguing the reader by an enigma of the “philological non-soluble” have been touched upon.

On Dante’s migration of King-Ghost
O dantejskiej wędrówce Króla-Ducha
Kaiser, Karolina
The article On Dante’s migration of King-Ghost is an attempt to describe Dante’s foundations of the structure of the poem by Juliusz Słowacki. The very attempt is preceded by a characteristic of a complicated and multi-voice subject of King-Ghost whose particular aspects also manifest the traces of inspiration with The Divine Comedy. A fictional structure of the Romantic poem is dominated by the areas of Dante’s inspirations, covering not only the way of creating the characters, but also the principles governing the world presented.

An aesthetic origin of unconscious: Rancière and Freud
Estetyczny rodowód nieświadomości: Ranciere i Freud
Krochmalný, Ondřej
Freudian concept of unconscious is discussed in the article from the perspective presented by Jacques Ranciere, a French theoretician, in his work L’inconscient esthétique (The aesthetic unconscious). Having presented a general structure of Ranciere’s notional instrument, the author of the text moves on to the analysis of the relationship between Freudian discovery and the tradition of an aesthetic thought. The last part of the text presents the way Freudian notion of unconscious, or, better, his Ranciere’s interpretation, refer to a contemporary theoretical-political context.

Escaping from the prison of fantasy
Ucieczka z więzienia fantazji
Kuźniarz, Bartosz
The author of the article persuades us that the slogan of ideology is no longer “They do not know what they do, and, hence, they do it”, but, following Peter Sloterdijk, “They know what they do very well, and, yet, they still do it”. The article is an attempt to derive political consequences from this belief, namely, the ones having ambition to determine a direction of a collective life. In his article, following psychoanalytical intuitions, the author wonders how it is possible that even a full awareness of manipulation being made does not protect the subject from behaving in a way imposed on by the system. In this context, what becomes useful for the author is the analysis of the role of fantasy-fetish included in works by Slavoj Žižek. It is him who does not only describe the mechanisms of postmodern ideology, but also proposes a psychoanalytical remedy referred to as an act.

Psychosis as an extensive dimension of ideology
Psychoza jako ekstensywny wymiar ideologii
Mężyk, Dariusz
In this short dissertation, the author makes an attempt to answer the question of the usefulness of psychoanalysis in the field of a political practice, beginning with Freudian analysis of group psychology and Lacanian concept of paranoia. The central point, around which interpretation revolves, is the moment of the flag collapse described in Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel. It is possible to reveal what is called psychotic crisis and the nature of social order based on the concept of empty meaning, thanks to the precision of the plot. In this context, psychoanalysis eliminates its instrumental use in all possible political practices. Since, it’s impossible to support a project which, as a project itself, is a source of all problems.

Psychoanalysis of discourse? Preliminary remarks on utilising psychoanalytic concepts and categories in empirical social research
Psychoanaliza dyskursu? Wstępne uwagi o problemach z procedurą badawczą w „postpsychoanalitycznych” naukach społecznych
Marzec, Wiktor
The article investigates the issue of conducting empirical social research informed by psychoanalytic theories. An abundancy of contemporary theoretical perspectives – as political discourse theory – ulitises Freudian or Lacanian inspirations. However I do not question the legitimacy of psychoanalytic knowledge stemming from clinical or analysis context, I argue that using these inspirations in social research demands a prior careful consideration. Procedures and processes constituting psychoanalytic epistemology – as free association method, transference and countertransference, among others, have no direct equivalents in the context of social research or discourse analysis. Therefore, utilising psychoanalytic concepts in new context demands their reiteration, transformation and rearticulation. Some branches of psychoanalysis – as the Lacanian one – due to their theoretical structure – pose an appropriate ground for such alternations. Nevertheless, still some aspects of assumed reality escape any empirical coverage. For instance jouissance or a death drive, however elusive and ungraspable, are crucial explanatory factors for mere empirical phenomena as political identification.

Against Lacanian right wing
Przeciw lacanowskiej prawicy
Potkański, Jan
The article constitutes an attempt to reconstruct modern attitudes and political theories in a language of the Lacanian theory of four discourses. Within this reconstruction, exemplary right-wing (Bruce Fink and Pierre Legendre) and left-wing (Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt) models of society and postulates of its transformation are referred to philosophical traditions from which they derive (Hobbes, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Deleuze). Lacanian philosophical inspirations (Kant, Hegel) and Deleuze’s psychoanalytical ones point to the moments common to all three groups of discourses (political, philosophical and psychoanalytical ones), which allows for formulating a synthetic theory of a higher level, covering them all thanks to the reinterpretation of the notions of freedom, community and (self)-education of the subject.

Multitude as a subject of democratic revolutions A few conclusions from the psychoanalysis of a collective voice
Wielość jako podmiot demokratycznych rewolucji. Kilka wniosków z psychoanalizy zbiorowego głosu
Sowa, Jan
The author of the article, writing about political events from 2011 that took place in the Far East, as well as in Europe (Madrid) and the United States of America (the Occupy Wall Street movement), questions the accuracy of liberal perspectives of the process of democratisation, and, at the same time, arguments in favour of the universality of demands (“the centre” and “the periphery”), a hypothesis saying that traditional divisions into, for example, a left, right and central wing, vanish in today’s (post)political reality. The article is an attempt to capture a multi-dimensional aspect of the Arab Spring, and place it in a wider context of global democratic changes. The author introduces a collective and communist point of view in a sense postulated by Hardt and Negri. In his analysis of ultra-democratic practices of folk meetings, he uses Jacques Lacan’s concept of voice as a partial object. On the basis of this concept, a key distinction between the people and the multitude as the subjects of two extremely different political systems is made. The author encourages us to take an attempt at a political application of Lacanian psychoanalysis, which would allow for capturing multitude as the subject remaining beyond castration, namely the subject that is, though, capable of being embraced by a psychoanalytical language.

Messianic Hope(lessness) of Modernity: Hegel, Marxism, psychoanalysis
Mesjańska (bez)nadzieja nowoczesności: Hegel, marksizm, psychoanaliza
Tacik, Przemysław
The article aims at exposing complex relations between Marxism and psychoanalysis as two purely modern discourses. In order to account for their specific position, suspended between philosophy and science, I attempt to outline the structure that conditions both of these “quasi-sciences”. This structure does not influence their content directly, but organises the very rhythm of Marxist or psychoanalytical thinking. However, while all scientifical discourses are conditioned by similar structures, only Marxism and psychoanalysis attempt to refer to it directly. In other words, the key difference that distinguishes them from other sciences consists in their self-referential loop. Consequently, Marxism and psychoanalysis do not possess an object neatly separated from themselves, but constantly return to the reality in which they are already included. Contrary to idealism, they do not take this self-reference for a starting point, but for a contradiction that needs to be sublated. As a result, both Marxism and psychoanalysis aim at sublating themselves along with the present reality they reject. In this regard they are the only discourses that are able to reconstruct the conditions of possibility of sciences, even though they pay the price of having at least dubious reputation in the scientifical world. In my exposition I refer to Luter’s doctrine, Hegelianism and Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to explore the status of Marxism and psychoanalysis as specifically modern discourses, being not only profoundly conditioned by mechanisms of modernity, but also having the capability to reconstruct them.

Queering Freud, queering Lacan? On queer-psychoanalytical formlands and wastelands
Queerowanie Freuda, queerowanie Lacana? O queerowo-psychoanalitycznych użytkach i nieużytkach
Śmieja, Wojciech
The article focuses on different attitudes towards psychoanalysis within the frames of queer theory. Is psychoanalysis conservative power serving stabilisation of social order or has it subversive potentiality which goes hand in hand with queer politics? How Judith Butler, Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman, Didier Eribon and other queer theorists use psychoanalytical tools in their writings? What are the similarities between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Foucauldian “history of sexuality” understood as the starting point of queer theory? Are psychoanalytic ideas rooted in given social conditions (as Oedipus complex) useful in describing queer reformulations of relationships and social conditions which “produced” psychoanalysis? The author tries to answer abovementioned questions but the answers are always partial and unsatisfactory as the relation between queer theory and psychoanalysis is tortous and sophisticated: queer thinking can cut psychoanalysis off (as Didier Eribon proposes) but it can be psychoanalytically motivated as well (as in Lee Edelman's theoretical proposals).

The author tries to answer abovementioned questions but the answers are always partial and unsatisfactory as the relation between queer theory and psychoanalysis is tortous and sophisticated: queer thinking can cut psychoanalysis off (as Didier Eribon proposes) but it can be psychoanalytically motivated as well (as in Lee Edelman's theoretical proposals).

A psychoanalysis of polis A reason for studies on spacious political practices
Psychoanaliza polis. Przyczynek do badań nad przestrzennymi praktykami politycznymi
Czemiel, Grzegorz
The article makes an attempt to show how the birth of modernity is connected in Europe with the development of towns, and constitution of a certain model of awareness that is political in reality, that is, grounded in affective and ideological relations where the town and its internal dynamics are an image. Using analyses by Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin, I claim that the town constructs a modern and de-centred subjectivity. I would particularly like to ponder over the possibility of applying a psychoanalytical method to the interpretation of this “unconscious polis” (through e.g. “spatial analysis” referred to as such by E.W. Soja) What I concentrate on is above all a wide series of phenomena covering practices of an every-day life, artistic interferences as well as collective actions. As a result of covering them, just like symptoms, with a notional web worked out by Freud and Lacan, the very phenomena reveal a fundamental political basis whose discovery allows for a better understanding of the nature and reasons of the phenomena accompanying us in a local life, such as alienation, panopticism or street-art. The appropriateness of these phenomena can be understood, as I try to show, analysing this Benjamin’s dream, dreamt by a contemporary town, a dream about the community, that can be read as utopia. Accepting this utopia as salutary or damned is a fundamentally political gesture.

The metropolis of spirit, the metropolis of body: the future of Silesia vs economy of power
Metropolia Ducha, Metropolia Ciała: Przyszłość Śląska a Ekonomia Mocy
Nawratek, Krzysztof
The author, assuming that identity is not given, but just a matter of construction, asks for the possibility of shaping a Silesian identity in a more or less free way. At the same time, he underlines the fact that politics based on identity exclusively, leads nowhere (for example to aggressive nationalism). The author sees an alternative in a polyphonic identity, referring to Michail Bachtin’s idea of multi-voicing. Based on this type of a political inclusivism where there is no place for the excluded (because everyone is an indispensable part of the system), the author postulates creating a beyond-local structure, notably a Silesian Metropoly. The article analyses the reason and conditions of the (im)possibility of its creation.

A father figure in a subject field of Western Europe and postcommunist one
Figura ojca w polu podmiotowym Europy Zachodniej i postkomunistycznej
Leder, Andrzej
The author of the article concentrates on the relationship between the father figure, the law of a father and political identities in a postcommunist and Western Europe. The argument is grounded in a psychoanalytical discourse, particularly in Jacques Lacan’s conceptualizations (and his followers), concerning an imaginary and symbolic order, an incoherent symbolic field and tension between an ideal ego and ego ideal.

Gallus Anonymus’ causae scribendi
Galla Anonima causae scribendi
Wojtowicz, Witold
The subject-matter of the work is letters and epilogues in Gesta by the so called Gallus Anonymus, especially topics they present. The author builds a multi-coloured series of topics on the basis of his own cultural awareness with very blurred references to social realities. Thus, the most important role is given to those places in Gesta which overcome or do not respect conventions and relatively change attitude towards them. A discussion on Gallus Anonymus intensified in the last decade, loses a lot without being re-recognised generally speaking, the sphere of literary conventions or topics. The main obstacle in clear-cut and reliable findings concerning intended and factual reception of Gesta can be noticed in conventions used that were often treated by interpreters as a social reality while all statements formulated by Gall cannot be literally treated.

“Juvenal’s Greek” Glosses to proloque of Chronicle by Master Wincenty
„Grecyzm Juwenala”. Glosa do prologu "Kroniki" Mistrza Wincentego
Pawlak, Wiesław
The subject-matter of the article constitutes a small fragment of the proloque to Chronicle by Master Wincenty, called Kadłubek (approx. 1150–1223), namely scribendi cathetes so far identified with Juvenal’s Greek, that is the expression scribendi cacoethes, known from the seventh satire (VII 52) of the Roman poet. In this philological study, the author of the article questions the findings reached by predecessors and points to the possibility of borrowing a quotation from works by John of Salisbury, a poem entitled Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum (Entheticus maior) or one of the letters addressed to William Briton. In order to accept this hypothesis, the author pays attention to other textual similarities between the Chronicle of the Polish historian and works written by the English writer, especially a treatise called Policraticus. The analogies point to the possibility of using the works by John of Salisbury, and, what is more, constitute a starting point for further considerations on biography and intellectual formation of Master Wincenty. In the last part of the article, the author paid attention to a relative popularity and topicality of Juvenal’s Greek in the Polish and European literature from the 14th to the 20th century, starting from Francesco Petrarca and finishing with Zenon Przesmycki.

A writing desire as a manifestation of Marcin Paszkowski’s creative attitude
„Żądza pisania” jako przejaw postawy twórczej Marcina Paszkowskiego
Kuran, Michał
Paszkowski’s writing desire derives from the following reasons: his willingness to satisfy the material needs (Paszkowski was a writer), fulfill a public mission via informing the society about momentous current events and educating the society within the civic and religious spheres (Paszkowski is an Old-Polish moralist). His artistic programme in which he gave reasons for his literary activity, was formulated most clearly in Zamknienie do łaskawego Czytelnika supplementing Dzieje tureckie. The reason why the author took this literary effort is not an internal obligation not supported by external factors. On the contrary, the poet took up and conducted a literary activity under the influence of circumstances, and impulses coming from the world. The main motive of writing was worrying about the good of not only the citizens, but also all inhabitants of the Republic of Poland.

A meta-literary reflection in works by Stanisław Samuel Szemiot
Refleksja metaliteracka w twórczości Stanisława Samuela Szemiota
Ciechan, Paweł
Stanisław Samuel Szemiot (about 1657–1684) is an author of Sumariusz wierszów, a collection written between 1674 and 1684, characterized by a big genre and thematic heterogeneity. The collection includes didactic, religious, occasional and satirical works, as well as epigrams, aphorisms, songs or rhymed narrative samples. One of the topics dealt with by the poet is a meta-literary one. As early as in first works of his Sumariusz, Szemiot presents his poetic programme and declares originality. A poet in the act of writing is, according to him, unlimited, and creates for his own pleasure, waiting for neither approval or disapproval on the part of his readers. Poetry, on the other hand, even the lowest one, is a way for being inscribed into the history. One should make it clear here that “writing for oneself” means writing literature for one’s own use. The very expression suggests an intimate tone addressed to the circle of close relatives: family, friends or neighbours. Szemiot was not ambitious enough or too shy to publish his poems. Further considerations of the writer from Przegaliny correspond with metaliterary views by Jan Kochanowski, Jakub Kazimierz Haur or Łukasz Opaliński. Voicing his own literary programme, Stanisław Samuel Szemiot proclaims above all an artistic freedom of the poet-landowner. Poetry that is the effect of “a non-idle idling”, as he claims, should not be subject to evaluation as constitutes the values in itself as an intellectual entertainment, and allows for avoiding what the 17th century writers call a very harmful idleness. Meta-literary reflections made by the author of Sumariusz wierszów go beyond the horizon of the “Sarmatian province” or at least prove that his literary awareness bears a comparison with such landowner poets as Wespazjan Kochowski or Wacław Potocki.

The sources of Czesław Miłosz’s writing desire
U źródeł żądzy pisania Czesława Miłosza
Szawerna-Dyrszka, Anna
The article show what turned out decisive in Miłosz’s childhood and early youth times that made him later on decide to become a writer. The author examines circumstances under which Miłosz’s linguistic sensitivity in the “pre-writing” period, looks at his first individual reading, and writing samples subsequently. The correspondence between a beginner writer with Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz proves a hypothesis that Miłosz’s writing desire is secondary from the beginning in the light of his reality desire. A written word is aimed at capturing it and maintaining it most directly and as it is possible, namely referring directly to the world (not the written word). The aim of writing, on the other hand, derives from curiosity of the thing, the same that accompanied Miłosz before he had learned how to read and write.

“Ale ponieważ postanowiłem, jak długo będę żył, przekazywać na piśmie...” A writing desire and its masks in Old-Polish memoirs
„Ale ponieważ postanowiłem, jak długo będę żył, przekazywać na piśmie…”. Żądza pisania i jej maski w staropolskich pamiętnikach
Ślęczka, Tomasz
The subject-matter of the work is an overview of the ways the authors of Old-Polish noble memoirs justified the reasons of writing down their memories. A basic difficulty was a conventionalization of this type of declaration, strongly ingrained in author’s awareness on the one hand and subjectivity as well as autocreation typical of any type of egodocuments on the other. Particular memorists pointed to the willingness to inform about the current course of events (although distinctions between the public affairs, understood as a dimension of history, and private ones, constituting the subject of interest was usually rigoristically perceived), a defense of their of their own behaviour in the situation when they had to make morally ambiguous choices, the need to teach their successors about the right ways of gaining the property, God’s grace, curiosity of the world or, finally, manifestation of the native proud. All these reasons, udoubtedly important, could also serve as a peculiar mask behind which the willingness to commemorate the memory about oneself, history and achievements common to everyone.

A desire of memory and “a lady concept” A few remarks on the workshop awareness of the first Polish female memoirists Anna Zbąska and Regina Salomea Pilsztynowa
Pragnienie pamięci i „białogłowski koncept”. Kilka uwag o świadomości warsztatowej pierwszych polskich pamiętnikarek (Anna Zbąska, Regina Salomea Pilsztynowa)
Krzywy, Roman
The article touches upon the problem of the workshop awareness of two Old- Polish female memoirists, broadening the so far existing knowledge on a rhymed autobiography by Anna Zbąska and a prose memoir by Regina Salomea Pilsztynowa. Having no rhetorical education or familiarization with the literary canon the male youth used to get to know at schools at that time, both writers intuitively looked for artistic means that would be most adequate to their aims, and imitated the convention that they could learn while reading. The imitation concerns compositional and genre principles (an epigram, autobiography, journey description, romance), but also various inventive means and, elocutionary, in the case of Zbąska. The very means were used by female memoirists fairly unskilfully, which, in consequence, led to the development of memoirs different from those written by men at that time.

The imitation concerns compositional and genre principles (an epigram, autobiography, journey description, romance), but also various inventive means and, elocutionary, in the case of Zbąska. The very means were used by female memoirists fairly unskilfully, which, in consequence, led to the development of memoirs different from those written by men at that time.

Hiding in a wallet Writing practices by Ignacy Domeyko
Ukryć się w pugilaresie. Praktyki pisania Ignacego Domeyki
Mytych-Forajter, Beata
The article by Beata Mytych-Forajter treats about works written by Mickiewicz’s friend, a geologist, and mining engineer who was very successful in Chile, South-America. Texts by Domeyko, located at the borderline of various forms and genres (a journal, diary, journey report), are, above all, connected with the need to note down oneself, leave an existential mark behind, and transform experiences into a notation. A strange author’s talentless writing who did not leave his portable wallet, serving the purpose of the shelter for thoughts, for the most of his life, but also a miniaturized ersatz of house is related to this identity project.

“To be a chronicler of one’s own degeneration” Reading Dziennik by Jerzy Pilch
„Być kronikarzem własnego zaniku”. Lektura "Dziennika" Jerzego Pilcha
Ładoń, Monika
The text concerns one of the main motives to be found in journal notes made by Jerzy Pilch, the motive of disease. The author of the text pays attention to diversified realization strategies of this phenomenon in Pilch’s text. To the most important belongs rationalization of the process of getting ill, withdrawal of one’s own body from the text, and accumulation of formulas aiming at concealment or camouflage of pain and suffering. The author also asks a question on the functions of disease textualisation, especially in the light of the autotherapic power of noting down many a time questioned by Pilch. Besides, what is important in this book is irony, scorn, and black humour that stylistically organise Pilch’s intimate testimony. In final, Pilch’s journal of disease turns out to be a refined game with oneself, a reader and genological possibilities of a journal.

Nimis poeta The image of a talentless writer in old epigrammatic works
Nimis poeta. Obraz grafomana w dawnej epigramatyce
Piskała, Magdalena
The article discusses the issue of talentless writing as a topic of epigrams in both the Ancient and the Old-Polish literature. The text is an attempt to examine the emergence of the talentless writer motif in old epigrammatic literature, its subsequent persistence and its relation to the concept of poetry and the poet that prevailed in epigrammatic poetry of the era as well as in the contemporary literary theory that discussed the genre. The article reconstructs the positive model of epigrammatic poetry which emerges from epigrams about bad poets and shows how the authors relate to this model when writing about their own poetry, what shortcomings they see in their work and how they try to justify themselves in the poems addressed to their readers or critics. In order to present the problem comprehensively and answer the pertinent questions, the analysis focuses on epigrams of less-known writers such as Jan Daniecki, Albert Ines, Józef Epifani Minasowicz or Adam Łabęcki, though the leading epigrammatists of the Old-Polish period, Wespazjan Kochowski and Wacław Potocki, were also included.

Discourses, excurses, multiple speech and narrative margins (Propositions of interpretation of the role of digression in the Sarmatian epic on the example of Argenida by Wacław Potocki)
Dyskursy, ekskursy, wielomówność i pobocza narracyjne. (Propozycje interpretacji miejsca dygresji w epice sarmackiej na przykładzie Argenidy Wacława Potockiego)
Czechowicz, Agnieszka
The narrative poems by Wacław Potocki show a clear tendency to interpolate the fictional structure of works via numerous digressions. The latter take on the form of selfexisting multigenre lyrical works, satirical intarsia, rhetorical monologues of characters or discourses and arguments conducted by them. The poet’s preferences for digressions and multplied reflections parallel to the main action of works, though not necessarilly depended on it, are best proved by Argenida, Transakcyja wojny chocimskiej and Nowy zaciąg. The very poems, a romance, epos and Messianic poem, are characterised by a clearly discoursive nature, which makes their fictional action seem as much a poetic form of mimesis as the author’s possibility to develop his rhetorical initiatives. This characteristic feature of poet’s narrative works, considered as a manifestation of “multiple speech” constitutes a structural quality of Argenida, a poem being a creative translation of Argenis, a Latin political romance by John Barclay. In this work, the presence of reflection, advice or lyrical and rhetorical excurses is connected with the quality of the adapted work as such, clearly the background one, where the fictional action permeates into the discoursive plan. The analysis of Wacław Potocki’s epic works in the light of the Polish and European early-modern literary practice allows for noticing the fact that the exposition of a digressive perspective of extra sphaeram is not a patent of a “multiple speaking” poet from Łużna, but an important and desired feature of the early-modern European narratives.

“Powinny trybut synowskiej miłości”, or on oratorical duties regarding parents
„Powinny trybut synowskiej miłości”, czyli o oratorskich obowiązkach wobec rodziców
Trębska, Małgorzata
“Powinny trybut synowskiej miłości” is a series of oratorical behaviours a noble son was obliged to practise regarding his closest relatives, especially parents. The art of composing letters, and reciting speech as well as congratulation poems on the occasion of various annual festivals started in the Old-Polish period as early as the boy was a few years old. From that time, a Polish nobel child was taught skills that he was to use in his whole life. The article discusses a rich collection of texts from the 17th and 18th centuries that were to be used as the models for imitation, both for the younger and older noble sons.

Priceless Extermination Economy System and the Problem of Authenticity of Holocaust Presentations
Bezcenna Zagłada. System ekonomii a problem autentyczności przedstawień Holocaustu
Wolski, Paweł
The author compares the role of money as a medium of communication in post-capitalist culture with the category of authenticity, which became a vital field of valuating Holocaust literature. Referring to Anthony Giddens, Fredric Jameson or Jochen Hörisch on the one side, and on the other to texts of culture, such as disputes recurring every couple of decades over the works of Tadeusz Borowski and the place of the author in events he recounts, Lidia Ostałowska’s attempts to determine the ownership of paintings made in Auschwitz by Dina Gottlieb (crucial from the point of view of the Sinti community to consider Roma victims as subjects, not objects of these paintings) or intertextual contaminations of presentations of Holocaust and popcultural texts in such works as Survivor’s Dance on YouTube, the author specifies the common denominator of both discourses as a simulacrization of the presented reality, similar to the renouncement of the monetary gold standard, which thus becomes its own reference. This assignment allows to understand, how the authenticity category (often ethically valorized, under the guise of “appropriateness” for example) conditions the Holocaust discourse, thus changing into a separate convention with its own topoi.

Madness Economy in Nikolai Gogol’s Diary of a Madman On windmills, cogito, theory and madness
Ekonomia szaleństwa w "Pamiętniku wariata" Mikołaja Gogola. O wiatrakach, cogito, teorii i szaleństwie
Mężyk, Dariusz
This text is an attempt to touch on the theme of madness in literature. While recalling an interpretation of the first modern novel (Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Don Quixote), the author refers us to a Cartesian attempt of bypassing the madman position. This moment, described in Meditations on First Philosophy, becomes the starting point for musings on the nature of language and the contemporary state of literary research, erroneously seeking a basis in legal and economical sciences. The main subject here remains a rigorous analysis of Nikolai Gogol’s Diary of a Madman. In the course of the lecture, the nature of madness is revealed in front of the reader, the economy of “insane” writing, which jeopardizes any positivity of sense, and with it – the achievements of traditional metaphysics. A comparative dimension of interpretation also reveals historically fluid borders between a sane and insane subject.

Hłasko’s Prose Between Marxism and Existentialism
Proza Marka Hłaski pomiędzy marksizmem a egzystencjalizmem
Mulet, Katarzyna
The works of Marek Hłasko are the most interesting example of the struggles of a member of the ’56 generation for breaking the socialist realism pattern in literature. The effects of moving from the Marxist philosophy to existentialism in Hłasko’s prose are best illustrated by his two works: Baza Sokołowska (1954) and Następny do raju (1957). The first one is an ideologically involved story presenting labor as a man’s heroic effort towards self-fulfillment. The second work is a novel polemical towards communist Poland, depicting daily grind with no perspectives. A comparison of these texts indicates that overcoming the myth of literature’s instrumental function in the service of economy takes place through reversing the earlier pattern. Utopia turns into anti-utopia. Only the model protagonist remains the same person (although different inside) – Marek Hłasko himself.

Four-fold Root of Values: Baudrillard and Goux on Lacan
Czworaki korzeń wartości. Baudrillard i Goux wobec Lacana
Potkański, Jan
The author of the article compares two post-modern models of symbolic economy – those of Jean Baudrillard and Jean-Joseph Goux, while confronting them with Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis agains the backdrop of philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. This juxtaposition allows to designate the differences between alternative modes of valuating present in culture, and at the same time to reconstruct their mutual deep structure as a fetishization of impulsive partial objects (breasts, voice, excrements, and gaze). The structure probes to be a derivative of psycho-symbolic relations between sexes, albeit distorting these relations significantly.

Celebrity Books: Writers, Stars, and Literature
Książki celebrytów, czyli pisarze, gwiazdy i literatura
Kasperek, Kinga
The author focuses on connections between literature and celebrities. The text opens with recalling the problem of absence of literature in the media and the popularity of celebrity-written books. Subsequently, the author recalls examples of writer attempts to appear in the media by assuming functions of a columnist or a celebrity. She explains the celebrity mechanism (quoting texts by Przemysław Czapliński, Dariusz Nowacki, and Wiesław Godzic) and points to celebrity aspirations of some writers, who aim to increase the popularity of their books. Later, she focuses on books written by celebrities, their memoirs and guides; she analyzes and interprets self-help books by Krzysztof Ibisz and Katarzyna Cichopek. While utilizing theories by Pierre Bourdieu, media experts and conclusions drawn from the analysis of these texts, she determines that celebrity books feature short sales cycles and tabloid content. It is important to relate to the author’s personal experiences, and the goal of these books is to constantly remind the readers of themselves in order to remain in the public sphere. A book becomes a kind of a fetish – it’s not the content that counts, but the mere fact of existing, which causes the celebrity to become a writer, thus sanctioning their presence in the media and increasing the sales of a product (which is the celebrity himself). A perfect example of this phenomenon is Ilona Felicjańska and her book Wszystkie odcienie czerni, which was to change the model’s image and prove her talent. This publication and its reception is the subject of an analysis, which shows that readers are not eager to accept such changes, and an aspiring writer becomes a Girard-esque scapegoat.

It is important to relate to the author’s personal experiences, and the goal of these books is to constantly remind the readers of themselves in order to remain in the public sphere. A book becomes a kind of a fetish – it’s not the content that counts, but the mere fact of existing, which causes the celebrity to become a writer, thus sanctioning their presence in the media and increasing the sales of a product (which is the celebrity himself). A perfect example of this phenomenon is Ilona Felicjańska and her book Wszystkie odcienie czerni, which was to change the model’s image and prove her talent. This publication and its reception is the subject of an analysis, which shows that readers are not eager to accept such changes, and an aspiring writer becomes a Girard-esque scapegoat.

The History of Lazarus’ Cadaver: Revival of a Literary Work
Historia zwłok Łazarza – wskrzeszenie dzieła literackiego
Chwolik, Dominik
The article deals with a metaphor of resurrection, used by Francis Bacon to describe the desire of bringing back the Literary Spirit (genius literarius) of former ages. An attempt to revive a literary work by the historian is compared to the story of Lazarus, brought back to life by Christ four days after laying his body to the grave. Although it is impossible for a literary scientist to assume the position of God, he – despite his limited abilities – recovers the work from the non-existence of time and memory, waking it up from a long slumber. The article touches on issues of specificity of revival language, authority over literature, as well as the existence of its limits, as is the case with the relation “dead – alive”. The context of the biblical narrative on Lazarus’ existence are poems of Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz. The purpose of the article is undertaking a possible history of literature project, using the resurrected as an example. It is also an attempt of deliberating over the permanence of literature.

Project: History of Literature
Projekt: historia literatury
Olejniczak, Józef
The author diagnoses the situation that “history of literature” found itself in as a subdiscipline of literary science in first decades of the 21st century. He sees the reasons for its weakened status in a methodological differentiation, resulting in multiplication of interpretational practices in postmodernism; emergence of a new field of literature, described by J. Culler as “theory”; theoretical, and historical and literary self-awareness of writers, increased in late modernism questioning the ability to write an objective history (H. White); the dawn of “great narratives” (J.-F. Lyotard); finally, superseding history of literature from school textbooks. In the opinion of the author, other sources of disturbing the status of history of literature are practices in the field of literary history, which excessively deal with often artificial breakthroughs and divisions in history of literature, radically questioned by an increasingly widespread belief in “long-lasting” modernist formation, as well as a crisis of the University institution and its authority, which began around the year 1968 (already commented on by W. Gombrowicz in his Diary). In conclusion, the author of the sketch seeks a chance for history of literature – after a “cultural shift” in literary research – in “new historicism”. It is important however for literature scientists to stop being “ashamed” (as S. Szymutko put it) of the object of their studies. Having said that, even though writing a new history of Polish literature seems necessary, such objective history will never emerge and one should rather expect many subjective histories.

The End of a (Great) History of National Literature: From Nation-centric Literature to Small Canons
Koniec (wielkiej) historii literatury narodowej. Od narracji nacjocentrycznej do małych kanonów
Mikołajec, Marek
The author of the article poses a thesis on an end of the model of national literature, which dominated in the People’s Republic of Poland, and replacing narratives aimed at creating a stiff national discourse by the so-called “small canons” and “small narratives”. The article consists of a theoretical and a practical parts. In the first one, the author describes a shift from great narratives, consolidating a nation, to small narratives, supported by pan-national, humanistic, and comparative literary canons. In the practical part, Mikołajec interprets Ondraszek by Gustaw Morcinek, poems by Paweł Kubisz, and Pierwsza polka by Horst Bienek. He indicates that the foundation for opening a perspective of a new community in these books – an open community – is a paradoxical, universalist thinking, built upon Marxist and Hegelian understanding of history, and Christian ethics.

Historia literatury polskiej by Czesław Miłosz
"Historia literatury polskiej" pióra Czesława Miłosza
Piotrowska-Grot, Magdalena
The author examines creative principles of writings on literary history by Czesław Miłosz. Historia literatury polskiej is a bridge between traditional thinking about history of literature and redefining this issue. His proposition mirrors the creator’s loose thinking about central and secondary issues and becomes in a way a post-modern textbook for foreigners. Miłosz’s method, also utilized in his books Mój wiek XX and Wyprawa w Dwudziestolecie is based on specific, individual solutions; however, in order to see them, one must analyze the writer’s historical and creative method – suspending the discourse between literacy and orality. The history of literature described by Miłosz is clearly not a finite, complete synthesis, but rather – as H.R. Jauss put it – a provocation towards further research.

In the World of Masks The Identity of a Literature Historian
W świecie masek. Tożsamość historyka literatury
Suszek, Ewelina
The author looks at metaphors and comparisons used by researchers to describe a literature historian, utilizing a cognitivist approach – that in cognizance, metaphors serve a function analogous to our senses and like masks, they expose some features of an item. In the article, she emphasizes a multitude of masks a literature historian must wear, often forced by current paradigms, and thus – she points to a variety of the historian’s roles, which results in a blurred identity.

Tragic History of Literature – an (Un)Happy Project? On Walter Muschg’s Idea
Tragiczna historia literatury – projekt (nie)szczęśliwy? Wokół koncepcji Waltera Muschga
Wycykał, Monika
The article is an attempt to find a formula, which would allow to look at the “history of literature” category through a new perspective – based on incongruence of current paradigms with challenges of modern literature science. The author, while not undermining the hitherto achievements in this area, attempts to show that it is still possible to construct a positive project, which would allow to describe the history of literature. In order to do so, she presents the works of Walter Muschg, a German-speaking researcher, especially his epochal Tragische Literaturgeschichte, in order to deliberate on the possibility of using the “tragedy” category in works on history of literature by replacing the widespread chronological order with a spiritual one, which would function above history.

There Can Be No Democracy without a Culture of Difference
Bez kultury różnic nie ma demokracji
Irigaray, Luce
Szopa, Katarzyna
Lebek, Karolina
The text aims at outlining a new concept of democracy that is based on respecting differences, starting with sexuate difference which – according to Luce Irigaray – makes up a foundation for human individuation. Drawing upon philosophical and political democracy models originating in ancient Greece, Irigaray unmasks their exclusion-based character, proving that they are incapable of facilitating a culture filled with respect for differences amongst citizens regardless of their sex/gender. Luce Irigaray proposes that a new democratic model is required, the one that would include democracy’s most profound facet, namely – human subjectivity.

Subversion of Virginity in Luce Irigaray’s Philosophy
Subwersja dziewictwa w filozofii Luce Irigaray
Araszkiewicz, Agata
Symbolically subversive facet of the virginity motif in Luce Irigaray’s philosophy is the major focus of the presented text. It commences by citing a thesisby Claude Lévi-Strauss speaking of the patriarchal social structure, which exercises heteronormative sexuality and reproduction control, being based upon the principle of the exchange of women. What the said subjugation of women and turning them into means of exchange by masculine subjects entails, is repression of feminine subjectivity, corporeality, sexuality, masculine dominance becoming paramount, and the coercion of heterosexual male substitution, that is, transformation of women into replaceable entities. Irigaray calls this phenomenon “the women market” – the principle of patriarchal culture which establishes their prices based on their structural position in circulation. The virgin – an obvious sign of transaction taking place between men – is utilizedby Irigaray as a basis for a new project of female autonomy which, in turn, instigates entirely new order of the corporeal, drives and desires, designed for symmetricity closeness, and relationality. Juxtaposing this project with a category of “self-excitability,” which sees feminine subjectivity as immanently causative, lead us to a redefinition of the traditional pattern of sexuate/sexual difference founded on hierarchy and repression, aimed at the ethics of sexual/sexuate difference and their inclusive openness to newly-defined, variegated, and manifold subjectivities.

Sexuate Difference at Work. On Relations of Luce Irigaray’s Thought with Italian Feminist Movements
Praca różnicy płciowej Wokół związków myśli Luce Irigaray z włoskimi ruchami feministycznymi
Szopa, Katarzyna
This article’s aim is an attempt at discussing the notion of reproductive work/labour pondered over by female representatives of Italian autonomism and alsoeminent in Luce Irigaray’s philosophy. By pointing to the said relationship between Irigaray’s thought and Italian feminist movements, the author indicates the missing link in feminist historiography, referring feminist thought back to the origins of Marxist philosophy. Following the trail of thought of both the feminist female theoreticians and Luce Irigaray, the author proves that through regaining the significance of reproductive work/labour playing crucial role in patriarchal-capitalist economy, it is actually possible to redefine the gender distribution of labour/work based on exploitation of women in economic, social, political, and cultural dimension. Putting sexuate difference to the eponymous work would, therefore, involve intertwining those two programmes: Irigaray’s philosophy and Italian autonomism, accompanied by a political programme per se, which would transform social relations between men and women,thereby creating new worlds and new relations.

Post-Operaist Feminism and Luce Irigaray’s Philosophy – an Attempt at Reconciling Stances
Feminizm postoperaistyczny i filozofia Luce Irigaray – próba uzgodnienia stanowisk
Kujawa, Dawid
In the present article the author endeavours to compare the main assumptions of Italian post-operaist feminism (mostly those related to the Wages for Housework campaign) with Luce Irigaray’s sexuate difference philosophy. Assuming as a departure point the notion of labour force reproduction, the author tries to prove the synergic potential sustaining between the two mentioned perspectives – the most noteworthy convergence between them is the eventually shared ontological horizon stemming from Marx’s perspective on communism as “the real movement which abolishes the present state of things.”

How Sexuate Difference Can Rescue Our World
W jaki sposób różnica płciowa może ocalić nasz świat
Irigaray, Luce
Szopa, Katarzyna
Lebek, Karolna
In this text Luce Irigaray enquires into questions pertaining to knowledge production, contemporarily derivative upon capitalist system of production and the ideology promoting sexual/gender neutrality, along with corporeal/bodily, class-related, and cultural non-differentiation. According to the female philosopher, the said system contributes to exploitation of not only human work, but most of all energy that fuels our ability to bond and be together. Therefore, going back to the most fundamental structure of human subjectivity determined by the sexuate difference, may prove to be not only a strategic resistance device meted out against capitalist organisation of work, but also a path leading to another world, where a coexistence acknowledging mutual/reciprocal difference may appear possible.

The Impossible “Becoming-Man”. Ovidiu Anemţoaicei’s Male Bodies and Sexual Difference. A Proposal for a Feminist Corporeo-Ethics
Niemożliwe „stawanie-się-mężczyzną” Ovidiu Anemţoaicei O propunere de corpo-etică feministă Masculinităţi și filosofia diferenţei sexuale
Krupa, Tomasz
In this contribution, the author attempts to critically discuss main issues referred to by Ovidiu Anemţoaicei in his book Male Bodies and Sexual Difference.A Proposal for a Feminist Corporeo-Ethics (published in Romanian, 2017). Anemţoaicei’s is a new take on relations between male bodies, men, and masculinity that endeavours to implement, in the field of men’s studies, the notion of sexual difference as understood in Luce Irigaray’s thought. His readings of Irigaray’s works lead Anemţoaicei to a postDeleuzian interpretation of the concept of “becoming-man,” which allows him to outline a framework of newly-defined masculinity, a non-hegemonic ethical stance on female and male corporeality.

Mimeticism, Parler-Femme, and Truth Telling: Female Confessional Utterances in the Perspective of Luce Irigaray’s Thought
Mimetyzm, parler-femme i mówienie prawdy: kobiece wypowiedzi konfesyjne w perspektywie myśli Luce Irigaray
Bednarek, Joanna
This article’s aim is to show, as exemplified by fiction and activism, that the concept of mimeticism appearing in Luce Irigaray’s early works may prove to become instrumental in overcoming difficulties associated with giving witness or uttering a confession. Though ostensibly they are uttered to “tell the truth,” or to produce the authenticity effect, thanks to Irigaray’s optics, we may gauge their efficacy under present circumstances by deconstructing their alleged veracity and the credibility of the witness-giver.

Bilitis. Between Pornographic and Lesbian Text
Bilitis. Między tekstem pornograficznym a tekstem lesbijskim
Skucha, Mateusz
The article is devoted to The Songs of Bilitis, published at the end of 19th century in France by Pierre Louÿs, who posed as a discoverer and translator of ancient pieces by a beloved Sappho’s apprentice, but in fact authored them. The songs are divided into three parts. In the initial one, Bilitis is a young girl discovering for the first time her corporeality and sexuality. In part two, she resides in the island of Lesbos and is in a fulfilling/happy relationship with Mnasidika. In part three, she is in Cyprus as a temple courtesan. Ramifications of the mentioned literary forgery are a key point here, namely: What occurs in literary (and lovers’) communication if one assumes the authorship by a women or, conversely – if we assume a male authorship.

Park – a Lexeme and a Concept
Park – leksem i pojęcie
Kleszczowa, Krystyna
The lexeme park should be characterized as an international word. While examining its form and semantics, it is necessary to make references to other languages, primarily to Indo-European ones. A Latin source is pointed out by Jaqueline Picoche – the word parc is derived from Lat. parrĭcus, registered in the 8th century, which was a derivative of the pre-Latin *parra ‘pole, rod’. In this case it is worth asking the following question: what is the source of the root of the word park in the Indo-European Latin language? The form of the word makes us suspect that it is a borrowing from a Semitic language, most likely Arabic. In the Arabic language قرف FRQ carries the meaning ‘to separate, to set apart’, and further nominal formations which are derived from it include farq – ‘separation, division’ and firq ‘part, division; group, herd, set’. The development of the present meaning of the word park represents a broader array of issues associated with the semantic shift. The observation of the lexical material, not only of Polish material, demonstrates the following direction: ‘enclosure → ‘an enclosed (closed) area’ → ‘an area which is not necessarily enclosed’. Such a regularity is observed also in the Old French jardin, in the English garden, in the Slavic words gród (Ch. hrad, Russ. город, OCS гродъ etc.); ogród (ob-gród), kraj (‘end, limit’ → ‘an area within some boundaries’). Today the meaning park ‘garden’, which is a link in the semantic chain, occupies the first place; other meanings are secondary, and the original ‘enclosure’ has become obsolete.

Park in the Age of Digital Images. Late Modernity Practices: to exist – to naturalize – to live
Park w dobie obrazów cyfrowych. Praktyki późnej nowoczesności: bywać – naturalizować – mieszkać
Banaszkiewicz, Karina
Park as an intentionally formed phenomenon is an example of imposing on reality both anthropocentric patterns and those typical of a specific cultural context. Interpreted against the backdrop of space, nature, landscape, it unravels its power as a human gesture, sign and measure of human nature – expresses a man’s attitude to the world. Founded on the topographical experience, a park gains the status of a place and initiates the processes of taming and naturalization. Everyday being with a park leads to living, which then endows a park with an order of life and identity. To be, to naturalize, to live – these are the practices of existence in the world, deconstructed by the processes of globalisation, including digitalization. While analysing digital realizationsof a park and a park extended over the spaces emitted by the screens and monitors of digital devices in terms of the functions it performs in a modern and postmodern city, this paper asks about contemporary forms of settlement, embodied by virtual and real parks.

A Sarmatian in the Gardens of Europe and Middle East
Sarmata w ogrodach Europy i Bliskiego Wschodu
Jarczykowa, Mariola
The article presents the accounts of Polish diarists’ overseas travels (16th–17th century), which include descriptions of parks and gardens. The authors: Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł “Sierotka” and Karol Stanisław Radziwiłł, Krzysztof Zawisza, Jan Ocieski, Teodor Billewicz, Maciej Rywocki, and others marvelled at the impressive gardens and bestiaries in France, Italy, Spain and the Holy Land. In the travellers’ accounts – diverse in terms of their attention to detail – there appeared descriptions of gardens, their location and arrangement, together with some opinions and evaluations made by the authors. What drew their particular attention and admiration were magnificent fountains, exotic plants and animals.

“Parks of Tomorrow” – the Idea of Park in the Projects of the Architects of Modernity
„Parki jutra” – idea parku w projektach architektów nowoczesności
Gielata, Ireneusz
The article discusses the transformations of the idea of park in modernity. In the Age of Enlightenment Europe replaced the white of medieval cathedrals with the green of parks. A man, like Candide from Voltaire’s satire, started to “cultivate his garden,” changing private parks in public spaces. As a consequence of that process the idea of park as a place where you could experience beauty and pleasure completely “vanished”. Urban green spaces started to be determined by an efficacy parameter – which can be witnessed in Le Corbusier’s or Ebenezer Howard’s projects – thus opening the way for transforming former landscape parks into modern places of consumption: commercial parks and amusement parks.

In the Park with Raymond Roussel: Anamorphosis and Ornament
W parku z Raymondem Rousselem – anamorfoza i ornament
Gołąb, Mariusz
The article is devoted to the semantic and composition functions of the figure of a park/garden in Raymond Roussel’s novel Locus Solus. The issue discussed in this paper concerns a pretextual function of fictional space for the narration mode and sequential order of the novel. An attempt is made to supplement the dominant structuralist tradition of interpreting Roussel’s work, for example, with the concepts appearing in Maria Gołaszewska’s eco-aesthetic approach and Arnold Berleant’s environmental aesthetics. The proposed direction of reflections allows us to see in the rhetorical aspects of Roussel’s style, among which numerous hyperboles particularly attract the reader’s attention, a narrative method of anthropologically understood imaginary structures. These structures were based on the systems of objects, whose task, apart from rhetorical and cultural deluding, governed by the poetics of absurd, is to determine an anthropological point of observation in the very problem of visual experience connected with the walk in the park, intended by Roussel as an integral element of the plot. The article points out that the main problem of the novel is garden space seen from the perspective of visual anthropology, with the cultural pattern of an imaginary structure determined by the space. This space is given the function of disinterested narrating. According to the author of the proposed analyses, the meaning of such an understood visual metaphor is carried by two primary figures inscribed in the space of the garden: anamorphosis and ornament.

Happy Gardens of Childhood Literary Portrayals of Garden Space in James Matthew Barrie’s Novel Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
Szczęśliwe ogrody dzieciństwa Literackie obrazy przestrzeni parkowej w powieści Piotruś Pan w Ogrodach Kensingtońskich Jamesa Matthew Barriego
Wieczorkiewicz, Aleksandra
It is impossible to imagine London without its royal parks. One of the most beautiful among them is Kensington Gardens, forever connected with the figure of a boy who didn’t want to grow up: Peter Pan. This article provides an interpretation of James Matthew Barrie’s novel Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), centred mainly around literary portrayals of garden space, which becomes an embodiment of the paradise of childhood: Arcadia, a pleasant place, locus amoenus, allowing one to exist beyond evanescence, growing up and sadness. Kensington Gardens are London’s green island, primeval Neverland, where the fairy-tale and the magic are rooted: during a day it creates a playing space for “human children,” whereas at night it goes under the rule of Queen Mab and mysterious fairies. The outline of various interpretation paths which can be followed in Kensington Gardens are accompanied by the reproductions and analyses of Arthur Rackham’s illustrations, which in an outstanding way capture the whimsical genius of the author of Peter Pan.

Mary Poppins’s Park: Between the Real and the Imaginary
Park Mary Poppins – między realnym a wyobrażonym
Gralewicz-Wolny, Iwona
Based on the fourth part of Pamela Lyndon Travers’s series of children’s books, Mary Poppins in the Park, the article proposes a view of a park as a dychotomic place: subjected to some rules, yet simultaneously a real and magic space which stirs one’s imagination. Following this double understanding, it can be stated that a park ideally matches the title character of the novel, who cares (often too much) about her children’s appropriate behaviour, but at the same time displays her predilection for children plays and imagination games. The conclusion highlights the two-dimensionality of the park, which by welcoming adults and children, becomes the space of both the real and the imaginary.

Park of Parks, Playground and Neighbourhood The Experience of the Mountain in Wawrzyniec Żuławski’s Wędrówki alpejskie
Park parków, plac zabaw i okolica Doświadczenie przestrzeni górskiej w Wędrówkach alpejskich Wawrzyńca Żuławskiego
Dutka, Elżbieta
The work presents an interpretation of Wawrzyniec Żuławski’s Wędrówki alpejskie [Wandering in the Alps], a book which is regarded as an example of classic mountain literature, republished several times. The author focuses her reflections on the description of the Alps, noticing in it three key ways of presenting this mountain range: as “a park of parks”, a playground and a neighbourhood. The analysis of Wawrzyniec Żuławski’s exceptional style unravels the author’s attempts to capture in words “the beauty of mountain experiences.” However, while reading Wędrówki alpejskie, what comes to the foreground is the book’s factual dimension. In his accounts of the expeditions from the 1930s and 1940s, a passionate mountaineer and an artist (a writer and a composer) reports on the changes in civilisation which took place in the area of the most important (in cultural terms) European mountain range as a result of the process of park creation. Moreover, Żuławski depicts in his notes significant cultural transformations in the consciousness of people coming to mountain national parks and in their attitude to the mountainous landscape. On the one hand, what seems to be striking in the accounts which are the subject of our interpretation are the tensions between the ideals of protecting “wild” nature and the development of mass tourism. On the other hand, what is particularly thought-provoking is the sense of melancholy, caused by the awareness of the old “romantic” alpinism being displaced by a sport model, aimed not at “metaphysics of the mountain”, but at achievements and records.

The Centre of This World Giszowiec Park
Środek tego świata Park w Giszowcu
Mytych-Forajter, Beata
The paper provides an attempt at reincorporating Giszowiec Park in the wider context of the Silesian Forest and locating the mining settlement somehow around the park centre. The idea is connected with the obelisk, which is centrally located in Giszowiec Park and constitutes a geometrical centre of the estate, constructed on a square plan, with a one-kilometre long side. Giszowiec, intended to be a colony, a miners’ village, has a chance for a second life in the age of the restructuring of the mining sector due to its sophisticated composition, whose heart is the park, forming a part of the old forest.

“…to the park… to the park” A Prelude to the Interpretation of the Park Scene
„…do parku… do parku” Przyczynek do interpretacji pewnej sceny parkowej
Maroszczuk, Grażyna
Kokoszka, Magdalena
A park is described in this article as a scene of public life where members of the modern society develop their shared forms of behaviour. This is also the perspective of interpretation for the final scene of Witold Gombrowicz’s short story Lawyer Kraykowski’s Dancer. A humorous portrait of manners drawn by the author could constitute a peculiar commentary to the nightlife of the Warsaw parks of the 1920s. A park seems to be a suitable metaphor chosen to tell the story of a lawyer and “a dancer”, as well as of the complex social relations determined by humanizing actions and the feeling of uncertainty about human nature which constantly evades them. The authors of the article are particularly interested in this “uncertain” aspect of nature inscribed in the figure of an urban garden, which reminds us that all our calls for regulation are just an appearance, a veil hiding an always distant phantasm.

The Deputy and Mayors Power-Wielding in Kiejdany according to Piotr Kochlewski’s “Jottings”
Namiestnik i burmistrzowie Sprawowanie władzy w Kiejdanach w „pisaniach” Piotra Kochlewskiego
Jarczykowa, Mariola
The article discusses issues concerning the functioning of Kiejdany in the 17th century as represented in Piotr Kochlewski’s writings and his replies to the letters of the city’s mayor – Józef Zygmuntowicz. Kochlewski, who was a deputy in the private city of Krzysztof Radziwiłł, reported to his master on building of the Protestant community and a school, among others. He also responded to the allegations made by Zygmuntowicz, disagreeing with his position on such matters as land measurement, punishing townspeople and enforcement of Radziwiłł’s recommendations. He accused the mayor of ill-treatment of the citizens and manipulating public opinion; he also criticized the mayor’s self-serving attitude during a plague. The position in these disputable matters was also taken by Prince Krzysztof, who in a letter addressed to mayors of Kiejdany supported his governor.

Michał Leon Obuchowicz’s Writings from Slavery in Moscow
Michała Leona Obuchowicza teksty z moskiewskiej niewoli
Barłowska, Maria
A diary and a few letters and poems have been preserved from the time when Michał Leon Obuchowicz (circa 1630–1669) was in Moscow slavery (1660–1662). These various texts, which illuminate one another, express the difficult experience in ways characteristic of their genres. The diary was published twice (1859 and 2003) and the contemporary edition was enriched with official and private correspondence. The basis of the last edition of the diary is an eighteenth-century copy of Obuchowiczes’ silva rerum book (MS BK 358). The book contains also unpublished poems related to slavery, which can be attributed to Obuchowicz. The most interesting of them is Lament więźnia (see Annex). It is, similarly to Zbigniew Morsztyn’s Duma niewolnicza, an example of autobiographical lyric created by a soldier. Genologically, it forms a variation of the lamentation on Fortuna‘s instability.

An Image of the Khotyn Campaign from the Perspective of a Lithuanian Soldier Poet Stefan Jan Ślizień: Haracz krwią turecką Turkom wypłacony
Obraz kampanii chocimskiej z perspektywy litewskiego poety żołnierza Stefan Jan Ślizień: Haracz krwią turecką Turkom wypłacony
Ryba, Renata
The Khotyn victory in 1673 became an inspiration for many poets. It inspired such well-known artists as Wacław Potocki and Zbigniew Morsztyn, as well as secondary artists like Daniel Kałaj, Mateusz Kuligowski and Samuel Leszczyński. From among many creative writings about the battle of Khotyn there is one that outstands due to its length and detailed presentation. It is a work of future Lithuanian referendary Stefan Jan Ślizień: Haracz krwią turecką Turkom wypłacony first published in Vilnius in 1674. In the introductory poem Do czytelnika łaskawego, the poet adopts the attitude of the real events‘ relator who makes descriptions from the eyewitness’ perspective. Thus, he puts the poem into the circle of poetics of the native heroicum.Ślizień – who participated in the Khotyn battle – describes battle events in a meticulous way, bringing the recipient closer to the realities. On the pages of the poem, the poet expressively represented the figure of the commander-in-chief – hetman Jan Sobieski, whom he characterized according to the epic principle fortitudo et sapientia. In addition, as a soldier from Lithuania, albeit fighting along with the Crown troops, he did not forget about the merits of Lithuania on the battlefield: he praises the equipment and courage of the Lithuanian army and appreciates the attitude of the great Lithuanian hetmans, Michał Pac and Michał Radziwiłł, thus showing attachment to the native land.

“Help not only for my congregation...” Editorial Activity of Vilnius Benedictine Nuns under the Reign of the Prioress Franciszka Anna Wołłowiczówna
„Pomoc nie tylko dla zgromadzenia mego…” Działalność edytorska benedyktynek wileńskich za rządów ksieni Franciszki Anny Wołłowiczówny
Gwioździk, Jolanta
At the end of Saxon times and in the king Stanisław period, the Benedictine monastery in Vilnius was a community of people who used various types of prints; in accordance with the patterns of behavior and communication habits characteristic of the feminine contemplative community. The merits of Wołłowiczówna were twofold: she initialized the creation of the texts and she resumed and subsidized prints, which were published for the use of the monastery and to meet the religious needs of the society. The created texts were mainly works in the field of theology of spirituality, which certified the role of the written word in the monastery, and normative as well as formative works, which were used in the internal circulation of the monastery (and in other monasteries of various rules). The translated and native ascetical literature and brackish texts, however, were made available not only to the Benedictines, but also to the public. Also,occasional prints were published: those created and maintained the monastery’s bonds with the clergy and the local society and, at the same time, documented important events in the life of the community.

The Marriageable Castellan’s Daughter Affairs of Elżbieta from Braniccy Sapieżyna
Kasztelanka na wydaniu Małżeńskie perypetie Elżbiety z Branickich Sapieżyny
Dąbrowski, Szymon Piotr
The article introduces the circumstances surrounding the beginnings and ends of marriages of Elżbieta Branicka coat of arms Korczak (1732/33–1800) with twomembers of the Sapieha family – Jan Józef Kalasanty, the voivode of Smolensk, and Jan, the voivode of Mścisław. The work includes a discussion and elaboration of scarce pieces of information concerning the time of her birth and the period preceding her first marriage. It also presents an analysis of the original assignment of Teatrum myśli… (1780) by Wenanty Tyszkowski, which focuses on a lady‘s glorious portrait in her maiden age. The main part of the article is opened by the presentation of the state of knowledge about the castellan’s daughter marriages. It is followed by a critical reading of unknown or superficially exploited sources revealing the backstage of these relationships: press reports on wedding ceremonies and the death of her second husband, the Latin decree of the church court in the case of annulment of the first marriage, a draft of an insurance script, in which the bride’s parents determined the amount and conditions for paying her dowry, fragments of Marcin Matuszewicz’s memories and letters from spouses addressed to Jan Klemens Branicki, Grand Crown Hetman. The context for new findings are conclusions and suggestions of researchers of the 18th century magnates of Poland and Lithuania.

Ślusarska, Magdalena
The dissertation presents a preliminary analysis of Pawel Ksawery Brzostowski’s Rozmyślanie na wsi w Turgielach – a work that has so far escaped the attention of researchers. It attempts to demonstrate that the meditation, rooted in the rhetorical tradition, bears at the same time certain features of the essay, constituting an interesting example of the author’s implementation of a new literary genre, which gained more and more popularity at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Brzostowski left a rich, albeit not very original literary output. He used various forms of artistic expression. Rozmyślanie na wsi w Turgielach completes his previous achievements. Undertaking of a new challenge indicates the attitude of openness on the part of the writer, the readiness to experiment in the field of form and the willingness to broaden the limits of speech. It is also important for better understanding of the history of the essay in relation to Polish literature.

“American Vilnius” On the Natural Passions of Tymoteusz Karpowicz
„Amerykańskie Wilno” O przyrodniczych zamiłowaniach Tymoteusza Karpowicza
Kokoszka, Magdalena
The author of the article compares the writer‘s poetic and horticultural activity. She is interested in Vilnius heritage (especially that connected with Stanisław Bonifacy Jundziłł), which shaped the natural sensitivity of the poet, and the famed home garden at Oak Park (the suburbs of Chicago), or, as Ryszard Sawicki suggested, Karpowicz’s “American Wilno”. The author of the text asks about the discord between the consciously worked-out lack of sensuality of the poet‘s poems and the sensual richness of the gardener who describes his attitude to nature in interviews and letters. She also propounds the thesis that Karpowicz’s poetry can be interpreted as a conceptual escape from the garden and sensuality, from the imposing and never overstretched nature of nature, and from this perspective it may be viewed also as yet another form of Karpowicz’s “creative negation”. Karpowicz-creator breaks with referentiality embedded in a concrete, sensual experience; he shifts attention from what is found to what is potential. He does not seem to think back to the “place on Earth”; he rather actively creates its own “place in existence”. He creates it − like his “American Vilnius” – from scratch.

Vilnius in the Works of Romuald Mieczkowski
Wilno w twórczości Romualda Mieczkowskiego
Węgrzyniak, Anna
The subject of the essay is Romuald Mieczkowski’s picture of Vilnius emerging from poems and short stories that reveal the value of key themes. They are topoi and at the same time they refer to biographical facts. The poet-chronicler exposes the “cordial” memory of trees, houses and stones. It is his way to emphasize “thinking with the heart”, attachment to the place and a loving attitude toward nature. He draws attention to the Vilnius mentality, inherited from the ancestors raised in the tradition of Vilnius, which was the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the volume Objazdowe kino… Mieczkowski creates his Home-world, he talks about the progressive devastation of the family home and the mythical City, which appears due to his allusions. Vilnius appears here as if emerging from the chronicle of events and it is seen from the perspective of an ordinary inhabitant. Relations with Lithuanian neighbors are good, it is the authorities that treat Poles foully. The editor of the “Znad Wilii” magazine and the curator of Polish culture fights for their “homeland” by deed and word, while the poet perpetuates the myth of the city and mourns the “cemeteries” of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Seventeenth-century Lithuania in the Latest Lithuanian Prose On Kristina Sabaliauskaitė’s Novel Silva rerum
Siedemnastowieczna Litwa w najnowszej prozie litewskiej O powieści Silva rerum Kristiny Sabaliauskaitė
Szawerna-Dyrszka, Anna
The novel Silva rerum has become a bestseller in Lithuania, although it seems that – as a work contesting the Lithuanian national myth – it did not stand a chance to gain such popularity. It was issued for the first time in 2008 and several re-editions have been released so far. The story of the noble family of Narwojsz, presented in Silva rerum covering the years 1659–1667, turned out to be extremely attractive not only for the Lithuanian reader. The novel has become a bestseller also in Latvia and Estonia. In Poland, it did not get such a large publicity, however – perfectly translated into Polish by Izabela Korybut-Daszkiewicz and published in 2015 – it gained great attention of readers and critics. The author of the article wonders what features decided about the reading success of Silva rerum. She analyzes the baroque stylization of the novel, in which, on many levels, the excess meets with asceticism. She looks at the phenomenon of micro-history, which consequently pushes the “great history” to the background (which is unprecedented in the tradition of the Lithuanian historical novel). She shows how Kristina Sabaliauskaitė transforms the authentic space of Vilnius, capturing the specific genius loci of this city and masterfully combining fiction with geographical and historical reality.

One to Rule Them All Transmedial World and the Witcher Universe
Jeden, by wszystkimi rządzić Świat transmedialny (transmedial world) a uniwersum Wiedźmina
Maj, Krzysztof M
The article makes use of Lisbeth Klastrup and Susana Tosca’s notion of transmedial world which has not been introduced to Polish humanities so far. The notion serves here to describe the characteristics of the Witcher universe encompassing books, movies, TV series, video games trilogy, role-playing games and comics. The analysis of the Witcher’s world is also the point of departure for a comparative study between the way the transmedial world is constructed and transmedial story as described in Henry Jenkins’s Convergence Culture. Additionally, it enables the author to comment upon the narrative dynamics of fantasy worldbuilding which differs considerably from traditional mechanisms of representation.

“I Am Trying to Help You. And This ‘Game’ You’re Playing…” An Analysis of the Rhetoric behind Until Dawn’s Psychology
“I Am Trying to Help You. And This ‘Game’ You’re Playing…” An Analysis of the Rhetoric behind Until Dawn’s Psychology
Dwulecki, Sven
Khaledi, Arras
Video games can adjust their messages to the individual player. Based on the ancient ideal of aptum, the authors propose the principle of calibration. This new theoretical concept states that games need to adapt to the individual player in order to be most persuasive. Until Dawn exemplifies this through the element of reoccurring therapy sessions with psychological tests that serve as a hidden calibration mechanic to adjust fear stimuli to the player. The paper pursues an interdisciplinary approach that analyzes not only Until Dawn’s rhetoric, but also its depicted conduct of psychology. Therefore, the authors examine the in-game therapy with two different lenses: the first lens examines Dr. Hill’s methods as a representation of real-life treatment; while the second lens considers how mental illness is portrayed. Combining both perspectives allows to gain a better understanding of how Until Dawn creates powerful statement about psychology and the player’s character.

A New Experience of War This War of Mine
Nowe doświadczenie wojny This War of Mine
Piotrowiak, Miłosz
The article undertakes a polemological reflection which is not limited to historiography and philosophy of history, being an attempt at reaching multidimensional and non-standard vision of war. It may seem that studying a computer simulation of people’s lives during the war conflict is far from what a literary scholar should be doing. Nevertheless, This War of Mine redefines the notion of computer games and of classically defined agon. The interactive production of Warsaw 11 bit studios becomes a pretext for studying the ways in which new media refer to literature. The unique experience of war depicted by This War of Mine draws from literary testimonies but at the same time it captures more than literature could ever do. Is the “word in play” the missing link of Bachtin’s equation?

Dwelling in Virtual Worlds
Zamieszkując wirtualne światy
Kłosiński, Michał
The article explores the paradox of simultaneous coexistence in two worlds. It raises questions concerning Martin Heidegger’s notion of dwelling understood as constructing, building and managing both virtual and real spaces. The main thesis of the article is that it is impossible to reconcile the world of being with the virtual presence in the world of video games arising from human finitude: being toward death. The article also attempts at answering the question about the manner in which (in the framework of virtual dwelling) the narrative identity is constructed in games and about the role of imagination in media theatrics of game players’ activities.

Geniuses, Simpletons, Psychopaths – Stereotyping in Presentations of Games and Game Players in TV Series (Reconnaissance)
Geniusze, prostacy, psychopaci – stereotypizacja w prezentacjach gier i graczy w serialach (rekonesans)
Olkusz, Ksenia
The article deals with the stereotypical ways in which game players are represented in various TV series whose characters are constructed on the basisof well-worn (and not necessarily authentic) patterns. As a result, one-dimensional motifs of games and players lead to unvarying representations which tend to be bipolar. The screenwriters seem to be convinced that the only function of video games is escapism. The TV series characters are, therefore, constructed on the basis of definite patterns limited to specific personality models ranging from the genius to the simpleton with a low IQ. The article exemplifies stereotypes of games and players. It argues that the monochromatic way of presenting the players results – among others – from the fact that producers and screenwriters are willing to favour the expectations of average viewers and attempt to mirror some universally-acknowledged convictions which are not true.

Fan Movies of MMORPG Players
Filmowa twórczość fanowska graczy MMORPG
Markocki, Miłosz
The article presents various movie conventions inspired by MMORPG and made by the players. In order to characterize and describe this kind of fun fiction, the author divided the movies into several general categories due to the functions that, according to their makers, the movies are to fulfil. The criterion of production or technological differences was not, thereby, taken into consideration. Such an approach enables the author to accommodate not only machinima movies but also, to some extent, the MMORPG recordings (such as video tutorials). The article aims at general presentation and description of MMORPG players’ fan movies in order to make it more popular among both the game studies and fun studies scholars.

Paraphrases as Form of Intertextuality in Names of Achievements of Chosen Video Games
Parafrazy jako forma intertekstualności w nazwach osiągnięć wybranych gier wideo
Kochańska, Agnieszka
The article explores Polish names of chosen video games achievements (e.g. Diablo 3 series, Starcraft 2 and Goat Simulator) paying special attention to paraphrases (modified references to other cultural texts). The analysis indicates that intertextual modifications of achievements are most often created by substitution of one word comparing to the prototext. The references are made to Polish and foreign cultures but the most frequent references are to mass/ popular culture. Humorous and surprising paraphrases in names strengthen the emersive character of achievement systems.

Image of Game, Images in Play – Ernst Bloch in the Context of Computer Games
Obraz gry, obrazy w grze – Ernst Bloch w kontekście gier komputerowych
Lekszycka, Mariola
On the one hand, the article plays with ageless motifs, and on the other hand, it attempts to present an introduction to studying images in contemporary computer games. Video games, which are products of contemporary culture, often seek new notions and categories that would capture their characteristic features, whereas the philosophy of images provides definitions for the images created by contemporary culture. Bloch’s talent for creating intersensual, intertextual and – to some extent – performative, viewer-oriented images may animate also contemporary culture. Some past motifs recur in new media without losing their merits. In the framework of playing with those motifs, the article attempts at linking the philosophy of images represented by Ernst Bloch with computer games – one of the latest media which convey the images.

Degeneration, Cyborgization, Evolution – Presentations of Transhumanistic Utopias and Dystopias in Computer Games
Degeneracja, cyborgizacja, ewolucja – przedstawienia transhumanistycznych utopii i dystopii w grach komputerowych
Gąska, Paweł
Visions created by enthusiasts and critics of transhumanism represent both utopian possibilities and dystopian consequences entailed by creation of new humans. Narratives representing various ways of human evolution appear in many kinds of media, the text, however, concentrates on computer games whose form is eminently interesting in this respect. In computer games, the player becomes a cyborg, to some extent, as he/ she controls activities of the virtual avatar being aware, at the same time, of his/ her own corporeality.The aim of the article is to trace two main ways in which the effects of the transhuman evolution into the post-human are represented in chosen games. On the one hand, the ultimate post-human becomes a biological entity degenerated into a condition which is worse than contemporary homo sapiens, and on the other hand, it becomes a technological entity turned into a being of superhuman abilities. The article explores their role and their form in both the structure of the game and the virtual world itself. The material of this study comes from games in which the player controls a single avatar: Bioshock series, Deus Ex series, System Shock 2 and Prototype.

Endangered Masculinity / Endangered Masculinities
Zagrożona męskość / zagrożone męskości
Kłosińska, Krystyna
The point of departure of the article is an analysis of medical discourse of the end of 19th century, which was concentrated on the symptoms of neurasthenia – a disease of men who were considered victims of civilisation, in contrast to women’s hysteria, regarded as their bodily affliction. The author notes a special status of this discourse which transcends the borders of medicine and diagnoses the whole social field: it becomes entangled in the relationships between sexes and genders, in class, ethnical and national stratification; expresses the traits of capitalism, democracy and its requirements, thus becoming a means of conveying contemporary ideas and phantasms concerning sexuality and its relation with subjectivity. The phantasmic projections of “endangered” masculinity, lined with panic and fear, constitute the main objects of reconstruction and interpretation.

Fabricated Masculinity A Piece about Homosociety
Męskość fabrykowana Rzecz o homospołeczności
Skucha, Mateusz
The article is devoted to the issue of homosociety. The term became popularized by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in her book Between Men. English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire (1985). It refers to all the relationships between men who support one another’s strivings and interests, and who at the same time constitute a group grounded on the discrimination of women and homosexuals. This phenomenon is based for example on the “trade of women”: men exchange women, thus creating patriarchal and patrilineal relations. The issue has been extensively analysed by a great number of researchers (e.g. Luce Irigaray, Adrienne Rich, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, and in Poland: Maria Janion, Błażej Warkocki, Tomasz Basiuk or Jacek Kochanowski). The work is also worth noting is The Role of Eroticism in Male Society (Die Rolle der Erotik in der männlichen Gesellschaft) by Hans Blüher, who viewed male bonding (homosocial and homosexual) as the key to building and developing society.

Gombrowicz From Behind An Analysis of Ferdydurke as an Illustration of the Project of Anal Critique
Gombrowicz od tyłu Projekt krytyki analnej na przykładzie powieści Ferdydurke
Kaliściak, Tomasz
The article proposes an “anal” reading of Witold Gombrowicz’s Ferdydurke from the perspective of the so‑called “anal turn” in the research on masculinities within the field of queer theories. The author presents an overview of theoretical perspectives, in which anality has been recognized as a suppressed component of male identity (e.g. Freud, Bataille, Kristeva, Deleuze and Guattari, Hocquenghem, Laporte). Masculinity seen from this angle is based on a radical shift of the foundation from a phallogocentric position to a more dispersed, non‑centralist, and thus more difficult to grasp, “anal” approach. In Gombrowicz’s work this change is best illustrated in the reflections on the subject of privacy. The subjectivity of the main character of Ferdydurke organises himself not around phallus but anus, and this new, radically shifted and dispersed subjectivity is called by Gombrowicz the private (or “upupiona”, “pampered”)masculinity, which reactivates the suppressed anality. The author analyses Ferdydurke also in the context of a peculiarly understood theory of “anal work,” in the light of which a literary work appears as an excrement and writing as excretion.

Hegemony and Trauma Literature after 1945 in the Face of the Transformations of Masculinity
Hegemonia i trauma Literatura po 1945 roku wobec przemian męskości
Śmieja, Wojciech
The article is an attempt at providing description of the functioning and transformations of masculinity in culture, and above all in literature after 1945. Whileemploying theoretical languages of R.W. Connell and K. Silverman, well‑rooted in the tradition of masculinity studies, the author strives to reconstruct its dynamics, which is shaped by tension between two categories: hegemony (as the required position of masculinity ensured by military experience) and trauma (as a real and long‑term result of this experience). The tension between the cultural discipline of hegemony and the increasing awareness of trauma shapes other oppositions, which makes it possible to model the historical course of the transformations of masculinity and leads to the creation of postmodern, demilitarized and “depatriarchalised” male habitus. One of their distinguishing features is reevaluation of the previously neglected spheres of male experience, such as fatherhood.
