Incarnations of Material Textuality
Liberature – coined from the Latin liber – is simultaneously a movement in contemporary Polish literature, and a term referring to literary works that integrate text and material features of the book into an organic whole in accordance with the author’s design. The present volume collects essays inspired by this theoretical concept, first proposed by Polish poet Zenon Fajfer in 1999, but soon picked up and elaborated on by international scholars. As noted by the contributing authors, preceding Jessica Pressman’s idea of “bookishness” and coinciding with N. Katherine Hayles’ fundamental writings, liberature appeared at the end of the 20th century, “as if to resume and systemat...
On the Fringes of Literature and Digital Media Culture
On the Fringes of Literature and Digital Media Culture offers a polyphonic account of mutual interpenetrations of literature and new media. Shifting its focus from the personal to the communal and back again, the volume addresses such individual experiences as immersion and emotional reading, offers insights into collective processes of commercialisation and consumption of new media products and explores the experience and mechanisms of interactivity, convergence culture and participatory culture. Crucially, the volume also shows convincingly that, though without doubt global, digital culture and new media have their varied, specifically local facets and manifestations shaped by national contingencies. The interplay of the common subtext and local colour is discussed by the contributors from Eastern Europe and the Western world. Contributors are: Justyna Fruzińska, Dirk de Geest, Maciej Jakubowiak, Michael Joyce, Kinga Kasperek, Barbara Kaszowska-Wandor, Aleksandra Małecka, Piotr Marecki, Łukasz Mirocha, Aleksandra Mochocka, Emilya Ohar, Mariusz Pisarski, Anna Ślósarz, Dawn Stobbart, Jean Webb, Indrė Žakevičienė, Agata Zarzycka.

Kryminał - gatunek poważ(a)ny?
Obszerne tomy szkiców, esejów i artykułów, zestawione przez dwóch redaktorów, to pierwsze, wedle mojej wiedzy, takie opracowanie na gruncie polskiej humanistyki. Co więcej, ambicją zarówno pomysłodawców, jak i autorów poszczególnych tekstów, było zaprezentowanie interdyscyplinarnego ujęcia problematyki historycznego i współczesnego fenomenu kryminału. […] Wieszczę tej książce, założywszy jej przyzwoitą dystrybucję, spore powodzenie na krajowym rynku czytelniczym jako opracowaniu z wielu względów pionierskiemu. (z recenzji wydawniczej prof. dra hab. Wojciecha Józefa Burszty, SWPS) Niewątpliwie obydwa tomy są poznawczo dobre i wnoszą do funkcjonującej już wi...
Fandom. Fanowskie modele odbioru
„Fandom. Fanowskie modele odbioru” to monografia poświęcona zaangażowanemu (fanowskiemu) odbiorowi kultury popularnej oraz mechanizmom tworzenia i funkcjonowania artefaktów, twórczości i praktyk fanowskich. To opowieść o afektywnym przywiązaniu do popkultury i jej zawłaszczeniu w narracjach tożsamościowych i praktykach upodmiotawiających, o indywidualnych i społecznych kontekstach relacji z popkulturowym przedmiotem pożądania. Publikacja prezentuje multimedialny fenomen Tumblra jako platformy dyskursu fanowskiego, opowiada o feministycznych i queerowych aspektach fanfiction, viddingu i cosplayu oraz analizuje szczegółowo pozycję fanki jako negocjującej nieustannie wł...
Światy grozy
Tom monograficzny Światy grozy jest pierwszą z kilku książek o tej tematyce planowanych w ramach serii „Perspektywy Ponowoczesności”. Wspólnie z wieloma naukowcami zastanawiać się będziemy tu nad rozmaitymi aspektami grozy, jej realizacjami w różnych mediach, przez różnorodnych twórców. Istotną kwestią wydaje się próba uwzględnienia jak najszerszej perspektywy oglądu, wskazanie mechanizmów konstruowania grozy i ich wzajemnych korelacji. Cel ten może zostać zrealizowany jedynie wówczas, gdy nie ograniczy się introspekcji do treści już rozpoznanych naukowo czy postulowanych często w polskiej myśli badawczej (zwłaszcza w zakresie filologii słowiańskich) chę...
The Holocaust Bystander in Polish Culture, 1942-2015
This book concerns building an idealized image of the society in which the Holocaust occurred. It inspects the category of the bystander (in Polish culture closely related to the witness), since the war recognized as the axis of self-presentation and majority politics of memory. The category is of performative character since it defines the roles of event participants, assumes passivity of the non-Jewish environment, and alienates the exterminated, thus making it impossible to speak about the bystanders’ violence at the border between the ghetto and the ‘Aryan’ side. Bystanders were neither passive nor distanced; rather, they participated and played important roles in Nazi plans. Start...
Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction
The Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction aims to increase the visibility and show the versatility of works from East-Central European countries. It is the first encyclopedic work to bridge the gap between the literary production of countries that are considered to be main sites of the Holocaust and their recognition in international academic and public discourse. It contains over 100 entries offering not only facts about the content and motifs but also pointing out the characteristic fictional features of each work and its meaning for academic discourse and wider reception in the country of origin and abroad. The publication will appeal to the academic and broader public i...
Polish Literature in Transformation
This volume emerged from the conference "Polish Literature Since 1989" held at the University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies. It shows how the profound political and economic transformation that has taken place in Poland since the end of communism in 1989 has affected literary culture and literary scholarship, such as: changing conceptions of Polish nationhood and identity * the impact of European integration (since 2004) * the effects of migration * revised conceptions of the foreign or the marginal, and new understandings of what is understood by emigre or emigrant literature * sensitivity to issues of gender and sexual identity, as well as the impact of feminism and queer studies * the huge impact of revived interest in the Jewish heritage, in Holocaust memory, and in Polish-Jewish relations. (Series: Polonistik im Kontext - Vol. 2)
