Twórca – dzieło – badacz
Oddajemy w Państwa ręce książkę powstałą z inspiracji konferencją naukową „Twórca – Dzieło – Badacz”, która odbyła się w Krakowie w dniach 4–5 listopada 2011 roku. Wydarzenie to wraz z uroczystą sesją Akademii „Artes Liberales” stanowiło najistotniejszy punkt obchodów dziesięciolecia działania Międzywydziałowych Indywidualnych Studiów Humanistycznych (MISH) w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim. Część zamieszczonych tu tekstów powstała z tej okazji, pomysły na inne pojawiły się wtedy – nie jest to jednak bynajmniej księga jubileuszowa. Publikacja ta stawia sobie za cel przekraczanie utartych instytucjonalnych granic między różnymi dziedzinami wspó...
Transcultural things and the spectre of Orientalism in early modern Poland-Lithuania
Transcultural things examines four sets of artefacts from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: maps pointing to Poland–Lithuania’s roots in the supposedly ‘Oriental’ land of Sarmatia, portrayals of fashions that purport to trace Polish culture back to a distant and revered past, Ottomanesque costumes worn by Polish ambassadors and carpets labelled as Polish despite their foreign provenance. These examples of invented tradition borrowed from abroad played a significant role in narrating and visualising the cultural landscape of Polish-Lithuanian elites. But while modern scholarship defines these objects as exemplars of national heritage, early modern beholders treated them with more flexibility, seeing no contradiction in framing material things as local cultural forms while simultaneously acknowledging their foreign derivation. The book reveals how artefacts began to signify as vernacular idioms in the first place, often through obscuring their non-local origin and tainting subsequent discussions of the imagined purity of national culture as a result.

Georgian Spring
Ex-cop Winnie Farlowe has been retired from police work due to a back injury, and has been fighting the bottle instead of bad guys ever since. But suddenly he meets Tess Binder, a stunning, three-time divorcée from the Balboa Bay Club where wallets are fat, bikinis are skimpy, and cosmetic surgery is one sure way to a billionaire's bank account. She believes her father's suicide was actually a murder and wants Winnie to help her prove it. Death and chicanery flourish amidst ranches, mansions, and yachting parties. Publishers Weekly called it "comic and deeply moving . . . a stupendous climax . . . virtually sure to be hailed as Wambaugh's best." And the San Diego Union-Tribune said, "a profoundly serious work and in reading it I laughed my head off."
