Cultural Sciences vs. Literature. The Case of Anthropology

W. J. Burszta

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 4(94) > 41-55

The article discusses two types of relations between cultural sciences on the one hand and literature and literary scholarship on the other, focusing especially on the issue of kinship between our contemporary cultural anthropology as a meaning-establishing activity, and, creation of presented worlds in literature. As an example of a peculiar 'consonance' of cultural science and creative literary...

Metaphors 'knowledgeable' of what translation namely is

E. Balcerzan

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 5(95) > 41-53

Metaphors dedicated to the art of translation are characterised by special intensity and longevity. Translators tend at times to be compared with traitors, lovers, rivals, strategists, slaves, carriers, firemen, surgeons, tailors, barmen, pianists, portraitists, stage-managers/producers. Translatological metaphors: costume-related, painting-related, musical, handicraft-related, transportive, catering-related,...

Morphologism in Russian literary scholarship of 1920s-1930s

T. Brzostowska-Tereszkiewicz

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 5(95) > 53-82

This article attempts at reconstructing the assumptions and systematising the varieties of the Russian morphologism of the early 20th century, understood as a biologistic orientation of literary-theoretic discourse focused on issues of internal construction of literary forms. The basis for the systematisation proposed is the history of development of theoretic biology, used by literary morphologists...

The versification of reportage

W. Sadowski

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 5(95) > 82-101

This article discusses the phenomenon of imitating by 20th-century reportage prose of the historically diverse varieties of the so-called non-numerical verse (Mediaeval asyllabic verse and contemporary graphical text). The author argues that prose and non-numerical verse constitute not only mutually opposite forms of textual organisation but also, as it were, two voices (understood in formal mimesis...

The Bewitched Princess. Maria Dabrowska's social commentaries at their sources

G. Borkowska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 6(96) > 7-17

This article discusses early commentaries by Maria Dabrowska, dating 1912-1914. Along with the well-recognised influences of Stanislaw Brzozowski or Edward Abramowski, one can find in those texts strong vernacular tendencies, manifesting themselves in, inter alia, her attempts at describing the familiar environment or nativeness of Polish culture. These are accompanied by other threads, sometimes...

Konstanty A. Jelenski as a historian of modern literature

M. Bielecki

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 6(96) > 46-68

This article attempts at discussing literary-critical texts by Konstanty-Aleksander Jelenski, the man whose merits to Polish emigration culture were enormous. Jelenski was a fascinating personality and an outstanding literary commentator. The starting point here is analysis of his extremely innovative literary-critical method, elaborated upon the borderline of existentialism, psychoanalysis, and structuralism...

'Generation': What is it, and, how to cope with it?

L. Burska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 6(96) > 17-32

The authoress reflects upon whether a literary scholar may find Kazimierz Wyka's rather traditional concept of generation any useful. According to the said concept, generation is a symbol of difference, novelty, and besides, the change direction for the historical-literary (and, historical) process. She points out to troubles some contemporary scholars (Pawel Rodak, Danuta Zawadzka, and herself) encounter...

article

War and its records (on wartime diaries)

P. Rodak

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2005 > 6(96) > 33-45

This text proposes an analysis of wartime diaries using a concept whereby diary is approached on a broader basis than just as a text, namely, as a writing praxis of one's everyday life, having three essential dimensions to it: existential-pragmatic, material, and textual. In all those dimensions, war exerts a critical impact on what shape the practice of keeping a diary takes. The existential-pragmatic...

article

Intention vs. Creativity. Ethical dilemma?

D. Szajnert

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 1/2(97/98) > 58-86

This essay concerns a certain aspect of the ethics of textual interpretation, or rather, to be specific, a relation being key to this ethics, namely, the interpreter's ethics vs. the author's intent relation. Having espoused a 'post-Wittgensteinian', textual-situational, or, institutional-relational situation of intent(ion), the authoress has considered the ethical assumptions and implications of...

article

Academic standards eroding. An attempted diagnosis

J. Brzezinski

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 1/2(97/98) > 9-39

This article takes up the issue of deteriorating standards in scholarly and teaching work as prevailing in the present-day university, or academic milieu. The topic is analysed against the background of the transformations taking place in Polish tertiary schooling - commencing with the adoption of the Tertiary Education Act (Ustawa o szkolnictwie wyzszym) dated 12th September 1990, as an important...

Rousseau, Diderot, and the birth of authenticity

M. Warchala

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 1/2(97/98) > 205-224

This essay attempts at analysing the notion or concept of authenticity (approached as a moral postulate) in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's works. The basic subject of analysis includes: the 'Lettre á d'Alembert sur les Spectacles' (Letter to Alembert on the Theater); 'Les Confessions' (The Confessions); and 'Les Reveries du Promeneur Solitaire' (Reveries of the Solitary Walker). These are treated as parts...

Russian literary response to the First Partition of Poland

V. Toporov

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 1/2(97/98) > 87-99

Vladimir Toporov's article was written as a contribution to the jubilee book published to celebrate Professor Viktor Khoryev's seventieth anniversary (Studia Polonica. K 70-letiyu V. A. Khoryeva, Moscow, 2001). According to the book's title, the author, perceiving the partitions of Poland as a great political crime of 19th century, one which burdened the conscience of Russia and Russians, attempts...

article

Is there still a literary theory?

A. Burzynska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 1/2(97/98) > 40-57

This article discusses the present-day status of literary theory. The title, provocative as it is, refers in the first place to the poststructuralist time, i.e. one of concentrated criticisms of theory as a literary-scientific discipline (particularly, the criticism on the theory of interpretation). Seen from today's perspective, the current is, perceivably, a modern (autonomous, objective, general,...

article

Experience: a real issue for humanities

D. Wolska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 3(99) > 23-33

In our contemporary humanistic discussions, 'experience' appears, on the one hand, as a new source metaphor reorganising the field of research (V. Turner, E. Bruner); a 'real issue for humanities, again' (M. Jay); an antidote for a crisis of representationism (F. Ankersmit); and, on the other, as an expression of impossible or even undesirable issues (R.Rorty). Those advocating the momentousness of...

article

Blood and tears

D. Czaja

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 3(99) > 188-201

This text is yet another attempt at taking up the immortal question reappearing seasonally in university or college seminars in humanities: Can interpretation be scientific? Can an act of interpreting, understood as responding to the call and meeting the challenge posed by a text (or, by 'texts', in a broad semiotic meaning), aspire to be termed 'scientific', as per the customary explanation of the...

Karol Irzykowski's 'Sny Marii Dunin' as a testimony to a modern experience

J. Franczak

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 3(99) > 118-134

The author attempts at interpreting Karol Irzykowski's short story 'Sny Marii Dunin' as a testimony to a modern experience. Both the motif of the unusual illness suffered by the main character, consisting in a reversal of the order of dream and reality, and the motif of the Grand Bell Guild, i.e., 'the vowers of the ideal', indirectly express the dilemmas of modernist thought. The hidden order of...

article

From experiencing to experience: an 'innocent' touch of modernity

E. Rewers

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 3(99) > 46-58

The starting point for this utterance is the conviction that a trip into the depths of the human body has proved to be the most momentous and shocking experience that modernity elaborated. It initially required that the frontier set between knowledge and experience be revised, and the reflection-inclined 'me' be confronted with its sensual body. A special part in the process was played by the combination...

article

Thresholds and borderlines of experience of/in modernity

A. Zeidler-Janiszewska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 3(99) > 11-23

These so named 'thresholds' and 'borderlines' have been approached as two forms in which experience is structuralised. By making a reference to Victor Turner's findings, 'thresholds' may be related to the 'affective' path of experience and 'borderlines', to the cognitive path. Whereas early modernity, motivated by the project aiming at 'disenchanting' the world, has made borderlines privileged over...

Visual Culture Studies, or, an anthropologically oriented 'Bildwissenschaft'? On the directions of iconic turn in cultural sciences

A. Zeidler-Janiszewska

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 4(100) > 9-30

This article analyses the directions taken by the development of interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary knowledge on image. In the American version, the issues of image are 'merged' in a broader context of visual culture, with the related studies focusing on a critical analysis of our contemporary, new-media manifestations of pictoriality/imagery. The German current highlights, in turn, a historical...

article

Rock - Stylisation - Intertextuality

M. Rychlewski

Teksty Drugie (Second Texts) > 2006 > 4(100) > 191-204

This article discusses the phenomenon of intertextuality of rock music. As opposed to literature, rock is multi-code in nature, as it is a conglomeration of music, word, and image. Hence, the question of intertextuality of rock should be considered in reference to all those codes in parallel. The essay does not consider stylisation and intertextuality as separate issues; instead, the former is approached...
