Postmodernizing the Holocaust
Marta Tomczok presents all Polish postmodern novels about the Holocaust, starting with “The First Splendor” by Leopold Buczkowski and ending with “The Suspected Dybbuk” by Andrzej Bart. She also presents their rich relationships with selected foreign-language prose, which intensified especially at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The culmination of the entire trend is a discussion around two novels: “Tworki” by Marek Bieńczyk and “Fly Trap Factory” by Andrzej Bart, which reveals the aestheticizing and post-memorial profile of Polish postmodernization and its advantage over the historiosophical trend. This monograph is not only the first such collection of post-Holocaust postmodern novels, but also the first comprehensive study of postmodernism in the literature about the Holocaust, which, thanks to comparative analysis, tries to analyze and explain the circumstances of the appearance and later disappearance of this trend from cultural landscape of the world and Poland.
Being Poland
Being Poland offers a unique analysis of the cultural developments that took place in Poland after World War One, a period marked by Poland's return to independence. Conceived to address the lack of critical scholarship on Poland's cultural restoration, Being Poland illuminates the continuities, paradoxes, and contradictions of Poland's modern and contemporary cultural practices, and challenges the narrative typically prescribed to Polish literature and film. Reflecting the radical changes, rifts, and restorations that swept through Poland in this period, Polish literature and film reveal a multitude of perspectives. Addressing romantic perceptions of the Polish immigrant, the politics of post-war cinema, poetry, and mass media, Being Poland is a comprehensive reference work written with the intention of exposing an international audience to the explosion of Polish literature and film that emerged in the twentieth century.
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...
The Creative Matrix of the Origins
Creative force or creative shaping? This unprecedented effort to plumb the workings of the ontopoiesis of life by disentangling its primordial forces and shaping devices as they enter into the originary matrixes of life yields fascinating insights. Prepared by the investigation of the first two matrixes (the 'womb of life' and 'sharing-in-life', Analecta Husserliana Volume 74) the present collection of essays focuses upon the third and crowning creative matrix, Imaginatio Creatrix here proves itself to be the source and driving force which brings us to the origins of the human mind - human life. Studies by: Elof Axel Carlson, A-T. Tymieniecka, N. Milkov, Eldon C. Wait, K. Rokstad, M. Golaszewska, M. Küle, W. Kim Rogers, Piotr Mróz, R. Pinilla Burgos, A. Carrillo Canán, G.R. Ronsivalle, J.E. Smith, A. Pawliszyn, A. Rizzacasa, L. Galzigna and M. Galzigna, Jiro Watanabe, M. Jakubczak, K. Tarnowski, M. Durst, W. Pawliszyn, R.A. Kurenkova, Carmen Cozma, E. Supinska-Polit, I.S.

The Holocaust Object in Polish and Polish-Jewish Culture
In stark contrast to the widespread preoccupation with the wartime looting of priceless works of art, BoÅ1⁄4ena Shallcross focuses on the meaning of ordinary objects -- pots, eyeglasses, shoes, clothing, kitchen utensils -- tangible vestiges of a once-lived reality, which she reads here as cultural texts. Shallcross delineates the ways in which Holocaust objects are represented in Polish and Polish-Jewish texts written during or shortly after World War II. These representational strategies are distilled from the writings of Zuzanna Ginczanka, WÅ‚adysÅ‚aw Szlengel, Zofia NaÅ‚kowska, CzesÅ‚aw MiÅ‚osz, Jerzy Andrzejewski, and Tadeusz Borowski. Combining close readings of selected texts with critical interrogations of a wide range of philosophical and theoretical approaches to the nature of matter, Shallcross's study broadens the current discourse on the Holocaust by embracing humble and overlooked material objects as they were perceived by writers of that time.
Der schwarze Bach
Eine literarische Bestandsaufnahme von Galizien 1942/43. In einer Sprache, die um Angemessenheit ringt - in einer Weise, die in der polnischen Literatur ihresgleichen sucht. Der deutsch besetzte "Distrikt Galizien" auf dem Höhepunkt der Shoah. Eine Handvoll Überlebender irrt durch die Wälder nahe eines fiktiven Schtetls – sucht nach Verstecken, flieht vor Erpressung, Denunziation, Plünderung und letztlich Ermordung. Immer bedrohlicher wird auch die Lage der nichtjüdischen Bevölkerung: Terror der Besatzungsmacht, Verschleppung zur Zwangsarbeit, Partisanenkrieg und offen ausbrechende zwischenethnische Konflikte. Im täglichen Kampf ums Überleben ist keine Strategie verlässlich - auch...
Écrire la nature au XXe siècle : les romanciers polonais des confins
Pourquoi associer la nature aux « confins » géographiques de l'ancienne Pologne ? La description, outre qu'elle peint des objets, propose des significations. L'auteur de ce livre, tout en procédant à l'analyse des textes en prose, tente de cerner quelques traits saillants de l'imaginaire collectif polonais.
Spring Will Be Ours
The Spring Will Be Ours focuses on the turbulent half century from the outbreak of World War II in 1939, which started the chain of events that would lead to the communist takeover of Poland, to 1989, when futile attempts to reform the communist system gave way to its total transformation. Andrzej Paczkowski shows how the communists captured and consolidated power, describes their use of terror and propaganda, and illuminates the changes that took place within the governing elite. He also documents the political opposition to the regime - both inside Poland and abroad - that resulted in upheavals in 1956, 1968, 1970, 1976, and 1980. His narrative makes evident the pressures that the elite felt from above, from Moscow, and from below, from the population and from within the party. The history of Poland and the Poles is of special interest because on numerous occasions in the twentieth century this relatively small country influenced developments on a global scale.
Różne głosy
Tom ten powstał z wdzięczności i prawdziwej potrzeby serca. Nie w jubileuszach rzecz, ale w jubilowaniu: w radości, że bywaliśmy u Staszka na Krupniczej, że nas obdarzył przyjaźnią. Bez spotkania z Profesorem Stanisławem Balbusem, bez spotkania ze Staszkiem, bylibyśmy dziś kimś innym, gdzie indziej. Taki prezent od losu nie zdarza się dwa razy – bo, jak wiadomo, nic dwa razy się nie zdarza. Cieszymy się, że tak wiele osób zechciało włączyć się w naszą wdzięczność i radość. Bardzo serdecznie dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy wzięli udział w przygotowaniu i tworzeniu księgi prac ofiarowanych Stanisławowi Balbusowi, najpierw jej Autorom, a potem także osobom i instytucjom, które to przedsięwzięcie na różne sposoby życzliwie wspierały, zwłaszcza Wydziałowi Polonistyki UJ.
