Tożsamość zbiorowa jako zjawisko komunikacyjnojęzykowe

Author(s): Marta Wójcicka,Waldemar Czachur / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The aim of this work is to establish what collective identity is from a linguistic perspective. We assume that identity is an important research object if seen as a kind of a specific type of language communication and shared knowledge. Thanks to this knowledge an individual becomes aware of their own distinctiveness and belonging to community. The findings are of theoretical, ordering and designing character. We base our reflections on ethnolinguistics, cultural linguistics, text and discourse linguistics. In the first part of the article we present the arguments for the communicative-linguistic character of collective identity, looking at it from the perspective of sign and code. In the second part, we refer to the rich experience of linguists and present various research methods applied in identity research from the perspective of sign and code.

W drodze do Sarmacji

Author(s): Leszek Szaruga / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article reconstructs selected aspects of the Sarmathian myth in the works of Johannes Bobrowski. The author of the Sarmatische Zeit, referring to the works of Ptolemy and Herodotus, presents his own experiences connected with the books on the Romantic myth of the North and creates a literary project of a community, whose part is also the area known as East Prussia. The traces of this project – motifs in Bobrowski’s poems and prose – are the object of interpretation in this sketch. They also point to a certain literary affinity between the German writer and Adam Mickiewicz.

Nowoczesny projekt tożsamościowy w "Młynie Lewina" Johannesa Bobrowskiego

Author(s): Anna Matysiak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article attempts to prove the thesis that Johannes Bobrowski’s "Levins Mühle" is part of modern identity project undertaken by the German writer. The author of the article analyses the style, syntax and structure of the narrator, which are used to undermine the formation of the cool and stable picture of the world. These issues are addressed in relation to the circumstances which shaped Bobrowski’s stance: his coming of age on the border of nations and cultures, as well as the context of emerging and formed nationalism and the World War II. The author uses such interpretative tools as anthropological theory of initiation and trickster and those applied in psychology of identity.

Polsko-żydowska partyzantka Bajla Gelblung i wiersz Johannesa Bobrowskiego "Raport"

Author(s): Eduard R. Müller / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article analyses The Report, a poem by Johannes Bobrowski, which is a poetic commentary on the photograph of Jewish guerrilla forces, taken after their escape from the transport to the Bajli Gelblung camp and during the interrogation by German officers. Detailed studies of different versions of the photograph, functioning in German, Swiss and French wartime newspapers, along with the signatures and the reprinting in the book edited by Gerhard Schoenberner in 1960, allow to uncover new circumstances of the woman’s arrest and look closely at the specifity of the poem by Bobrowski, which stands out against his other lyric poems.

Nacjonalizm i romantyzm w literaturze wschodniopruskiej

Author(s): Martin Maurach / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Hoffmann, "Die Wiederherstellung des Schlosses der deutschen Ordensritter zu Marienburg" by Joseph Eichendorff, as well as the historizing works of Ernst Wicher ("Heinrich von Plauen") and Felix Dahn ("Kampf um Rom"), which glorified German past in the name of the idea of the nation.

Walka o duszę Prus – od Krzyżaków do plebiscytu

Author(s): Anna Damięcka-Wójcik / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text analyses the archive script of a German propaganda film against the Polonization of East Prussia. The film from the 1920s documents two existing historical narratives: Polish and German. Although in some places they are contradictory, they form a complementary picture of the Polish-German relations as a whole. Both in Polish and German historiography the interpretation of historical facts was subordinated to historical policy. The text analyses German and Slavonic founding myths of Prussia, the white and black legend of the Teutonic Knights and its revival in the 20th century, the examples of historical heroizaition, the omission of indigenous population in the historiography of both countries and Europe in the 1920s propaganda.

Warmia i Mazury czy jednak Prusy Wschodnie

Author(s): Anna Górajek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article concentrates on the identity function of the Masurian landscape. It analyses its idealisation in German literature of the interwar period and its nostalgic character in the memoirs from sentimental journeys. For the visitors the landscape is a link between historical East Prussia and the modern region of Warmia and Masuria. As a recognizable distinguishing feature of the region, its landscape is one of the most beautiful in Europe, comparable to those of Provence and Tuscany. The text also describes the changes in the landscape resulting from the migrations after World War II, the economic policy of the Polish People's Republic and the development of tourism in the 21st century, which led and lead to the irreversible devastation of the landscape.

„MYŚLĘ O L.L. […] – CZY ŻYJE?”

Author(s): Maciej Libich / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author aims to describe and reconstruct the relationship between Leo Lipski and the poet Jerzy Kamil Weintraub on the basis of three unknown Lipski’s letters, found in the Józef Czechowicz Museum of Literature in Lublin and the Mickiewicz Museum of Literature in Warsaw. The author argues that this relationship significantly influenced Lipski’s life and works. Both authors worked together in two literary groups: “Zrzeszenie Najmłodszej Literatury” (The Youngest Literature Society) and “Wektory” (Vectors). The author also shows the influence Lipski’s writing (especially Egotyki) had on Weintraub’s war diary. He argues that Lipski’s works can be an interpretative key to the whole diary.

LITERACKA SCENA PIERWOTNA: LIPSKI – SCHULZ – NAŁKOWSKA

Author(s): Jan Potkański / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article reconstructs the phantasmatic deep structure of "Niespokojni" and "Piotruś" by Leo Lipski as reproducing the relationships in Polish literature circles, especially between Bruno Schulz and Zofia Nałkowska, at the end of the interwar period. The main tool for this reconstruction is psychoanalysis, developed in Gilles Deleuze’s and Harold Bloom’s theories.

W LESIE "KRÓLA OLCH": SCHULZ – LIPSKI – TOURNIER

Author(s): Piotr Łuszczykiewicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The sketch is dedicated to prose references to "Erlkönig", a famous ballad by Johann Wolfgang Goethe. The author compares its evocations in the works of Bruno Schulz, Leo Lipski, Stefan Zweig and Michael Tournier. They are a kind of ekphrases: the poet’s text is not quoted directly, but appears to be a reminiscence of a reading, recitation, lecture or a literary image. A special place among them is occupied by a fragment of Lipski’s short story from "Niespokojni", in which the performance of Goethe’s ballad by a teenage character triggers a multifaceted transgression: erotic, mental, linguistic.

OBRAZY PRZEMIAN MATERII W PISARSTWIE LEO LIPSKIEGO W KONTEKŚCIE ALCHEMICZNEJ KONCEPCJI MATERIA PRIMA

Author(s): Mateusz Pytko / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

From the beginning of his creative work, Leo Lipski struggled with a problem that could be described as follows: how can matter be included in the language corpus in such a way that when it is literally translated it will not become unreal. He expressed this exceptionally “materialistic” approach to the process of shaping words in one of the letters to Michał Chmielowiec, where he wrote: “even the most sublime creative work is of the same flesh and blood as anything people create. […] in general all creative work means one thing to me: struggling with matter, with material.” Researchers of Lipski’s work tried to link such ideological declarations and their creative realisations with Georges Bataille’s concept of the informe. The article shows that the concepts close to the informe as well as Lipski’s dream to sublime “fertilizer” into something “alive” has a rich history dating back to at least the third century AD. One of the interpretative aims of the text is to show that creative images Lipski adhered to are secularized equivalents of the alchemical concept of materia prima. The article also analyses the images, symbols and allegories Lipski used to express the transformation process of this multiform and paradoxical (simultaneously live and dead) matter he chose as his object of creative sublimation.

POSTZAGŁADOWE PRZEISTOCZENIE

Author(s): Andrzej Brylak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author interprets the story Św. Paweł in the context of Leo Lipski’s interest in Catholicism, which can be seen in his prose and letters. Lipski uses St. Paulʼs conceptual matrix, but reverses its governing mechanisms: in Lipski’s version a physical body is transformed into a spiritual body not through negation, but through the affirmation of desire. This transformation is a nucleus of a major process of transforming the bodies of those murdered in Holocaust into a text. To this end, the writer transforms the formulae of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, inscribing the Catholic dogma of transubstantiation in his perversive literary project.

JANEK – WIDMOWY ŁĄCZNIK

Author(s): Antoni Zając / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article focuses on Janek, the character in Leo Lipski’s novel "Niespokojni". The researchers have so far devoted little space to description of homoerotic motifs in his works, even though they return with a certain regularity. The thread of Emil and Janek’s close relationship in "Niespokojni" should be considered crucial in this context, therefore the author interprets this thread broadly in the first part of his article. The author uses the methodology of men’s studies and queer studies, pointing to the tension between homotextuality as the poetics of unspoken desire and experienced, emancipatory homosexual identity, which is present in the first chapters of the novel. In the second part of the article the context is biographical: the character of Janek is modelled on Lipski’s close friend, the pianist Jakub Weissman, but the name also suggests the links with another writer’s friend, Jan Holcman. Janek is a character crucial for the structure and significance of "Niespokojni".

"NIESPOKOJNI" – UTAJONA GROZA

Author(s): Andrzej Zieniewicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In Leo Lipski’s "Niespokojni" we can find scenes surprisingly similar to the motifs present in his later short story "Dzień i noc", written in a labour camp. The text did not exist when Lipski finished "Niespokojni" and was to be written a few years later. The article asks how prefigurations, ”ghosts” of the motifs from the later text could be found in the earlier novel and how they introduce the atmosphere of latent dread to the reality of the late 1930s shown in "Niespokojni".

PISANIE: PERYFERIA ŻYCIA

Author(s): Paweł Paszek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author of the article attempts to look at Lipski’s works from the perspective of scattered and abandoned works, versions and projects for some larger works, unfinished drafts, notes and memos, which were left by Lipski like a quaint archive of peripheral texts. The works called by Lipski himself “egotics” constitute its important part. A micrological reading of one of them, titled "Inny skrawek nocy", shows the most significant semantic elements of the text, pointing to their continuation and realization in Lipski’s works.

SPOTKANIE

Author(s): Hanna Gosk / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Using Lipski’s novel "Piotruś", the author analyses narratives introduced to Lipski’s prose as a story within a story, like substories heard by the narrator-hero or like his own memories, recurring in his mind or told to the others. She argues that the substories stem from the meeting of the past with the present of the after-war world, which has lost its old framework, but has not established the new one. Substories – thanks to their fragmentary, digressive, open character – make the form of the whole work broader, corresponding to the images of the world without a model description. They show the narrator-hero suspended between the traumatic past and unwanted, devoid of future prospects, present. The “past presence” (a term by Reinhart Koselleck) is of special importance in those narratives.

„PAN MA WYGLĄDAĆ NIEAPETYCZNIE”

Author(s): Aleksandra Naróg / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article analyses the experience of disgustingness in Leo Lipski’s "Piotruś". This micronovel is interpreted as a multi-level narrative about repulsion, constitutive of perceiving the world and the importance of physicality, sexuality and identity. "Piotruś" records the functioning of affection: the representations of tastes, smells or physiological functions are simultaneously marked by repulsion and fascination. Using the images of excretion, bodily secretions or vomiting, Lipski attempts to describe the crisis and trauma of subjectivity. The affection becomes a way to describe and feel not explicitly expressed phantasms. Repulsion is also present in Lipski’s descriptions of Jewish rituals and customs. The main hero in Piotruś is “neither subject nor object”, and contact with him makes other characters – and the readers - review their previous beliefs about various aspects of human life. The theoretical context for the proposed analysis is provided by the works of Julia Kristeva, Mary Douglas and Sara Ahmed.

BACHMANN – LIPSKI – OPEL

Author(s): Piotr Sadzik / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article presents a number of findings concerning Leo Lipski’s biography, based on unexplored archival materials. The author indicates German as a native language of the writer, looking at the textual functionalities of the problem and reconstructing Lipski’s relationships with the German cultural circle and arguing that the person who directly contributed to the German translation of "Piotruś" was Adolf Opel. It was Opel who made his partner, Ingeborg Bachmann, interested in Lipski’s writing. Citing the latest archival discoveries, the author briefly discusses the surviving collection of Lipski’s letters to the Austrian writer.

„Uwielbiam masy ludzkie, kocham żywioły, przepadam za wszystkim, co się staje dopiero” – Łódź jako temat literacki „Ziemi obiecanej” w korespondencji Reymonta

Author(s): Dorota Samborska-Kukuć / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Reymont reported on the stages of construction of the Promised Land in letters to friends and family. His spontaneous way of reporting resulting from the hyperbolization of experiences and impressions provides source material for examining the creative process and the way of perceiving the described space. For the writer, Łódź was a place that interested him in its spectacular development and functioning, and he decided that it could be an artistic challenge for him. He worked on the work in several stages: in Łódź itself, collecting the necessary material, and for the next several months (including in France), drawing on these findings colored by imagination. He informed about each of these stages in his correspondence, proving his keen interest in the factory town and its peculiarities.
