Analyzes the life, work, and reception of a founding father of modern Jewish art in Eastern Europe.
Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century is about how ideas travel on the waves of cultural transfer. The volume focuses in particular on the exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture between the Nordic countries and continental Europe. It includes reflections on travelling and transmitting ideas through various forms, and takes a step further in scrutinising how new theories in literary, cultural and historical studies, as well as new methods, are influencing research in the field of cultural transfer and transmission. In the first part of the volume, the authors examine the export and import of ideas through literature in translation, travel letters, international education strategie...
Key Texts in American Jewish Culture expands the frame of reference used by students of culture and history both by widening the "canon" of Jewish texts and by providing a way to extrapolate new meanings from well-known sources. Contributors come from a variety of disciplines, including American studies, anthropology, comparative literature, history, music, religious studies, and women's studies. Each provides an analysis of a specific text in art, music, television, literature, homily, liturgy, or history. Some of the works discussed, such as Philip Roth's novel Counterlife, the musical Fiddler on the Roof, and Irving Howe's World of Our Fathers, are already widely acknowledged components of the American Jewish studies canon. Others-such as Bridget Loves Bernie, infamous for the hostile reception it received among American Jews+ may be considered "key texts" because of the controversy they provoked. Still others, such as Joshua Liebman's Piece of Mind and the radio and TV sitcom The Goldbergs, demonstrate the extent to which American Jewish culture and mainstream American culture intermingle with and borrow from each other.

Praca oparta została na rezultatach rozległej kwerendy archiwalnej i bibliotecznej, skonfrontowanej z dziełami malarskimi Jana Matejki. Adam Świątek dokonał wnikliwej analizy ich zawartości, trafnie zinterpretował znaczenie symboliczne poszczególnych dzieł i postaci historycznych wprowadzonych przez Matejkę do jego prac. Wskazał na zainteresowania słowiańskie Matejki oraz na jego wielce pozytywny stosunek do Rusi i Rusinów, zarówno w kontekście historycznym, jak i mu współczesnym. Ze względu na ogromne znaczenie twórczości Matejki w tworzeniu zrębów świadomości historycznej Polaków, interpretacja jego dzieł pozostaje ważnym elementem badania przemian spojrzenia n...
