Music and Infinity. Studies in Polish Romanticism
The rhythm of Romanticism in Poland is ominously tapped by history, politics, various defeats, and the sense of national captivity, but the descant to this main melodic line are rhythms and melodies of everyday life and extraordinary art. Contrary to many stereotypes and clichés referring to Polish Romanticism, national martyrology and historism are not the only matter of concern for Polish authors. Tradition, customs, everydayness, social relations, existence, and art are crucial literary themes. In addition, aesthetic experiences, the musical life, the search for sacrum in the individual dimension and outside the Catholic Church are typical of Romanticism in Poland, which brings this move...
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.
Existence, Aesthetics, Criticism. Studies in Polish Romanticism
Romanticism in Poland was the first modern era which created the earliest modern intellectual class calling for cultural, political, and civilizational changes, which is similar to the situation in France, Germany, and England. The rebellious spirit of Romanticism in Poland is characterized by stronger foundations and arguments of historiosophical nature. Rebellion in Romanticism was not limited to fighting for the individual freedom of men, as people also fought in the name of national and social freedom. It was a struggle that encompassed many aspects of life and imagination. Romanticism is the child of youth. The youth shaped a new worldview, rebelled against the world order in literature and art, and proposed a new definition of freedom, including not only politics, but also aesthetics, philosophy, music, science, as well as lifestyle, thus imparting on everyday life the qualities of freedom and authenticity.
Hidden Multilingualism in 19th-Century European Literature
The disparagement of multilingualism is a European development of the 18th and 19th centuries in which one national language and national literature were advocated, established and institutionalised. Multilingual writers made use of the creative potential of several languages even then. However, they often adapted to an increasingly monolingual book market, which made their individual multilingualism invisible. This is evident in literary historiography which established a monolingual national canon. Researching hidden multilingualism is often difficult: since multilingual texts by multilingual writers were often not published or were published in a monolingual version, sources are scarce. L...
Ciało w literaturze, literackie, literatury. Trzy studia o romantyzmie
Swego czasu Marta Piwińska pisała, że wiemy już niemal wszystko o romantycznym duchu i duchach, w związku z czym czas na zajęcie się romantycznym ciałem, o którym wiemy niewiele. Kompleksową odpowiedzią na to wezwanie stała się dopiero książka Pauliny Abriszewskiej Ciało w literaturze, literackie, literatury. Trzy studia o romantyzmie. Książka nie zamyka przy tym perspektywy badawczej. Wprost przeciwnie – i to jedna z zalet recenzowanej pozycji – rozważania Autorki przecierają szlaki myślowe, wytyczają horyzonty refleksji o problemie i zarazem akcentują swoją (nieuchronną w tym przypadku) fragmentaryczność. Trzeba tu podkreślić odwagę badaczki w zmierzeniu się z tematem, o którym wiedzieliśmy, że wymaga zmierzenia się, ale który jednak omijaliśmy; dalsze pisanie o romantycznej somatyczności i sensualności musi rozpoczynać się od książki Ciało w literaturze, literackie, literatury, inicjującej w polskich badaniach nad romantyzmem systematyczną dyskusję nad somatycznością i sensualnością. Fragment recenzji wydawniczej Michała Kuziaka
A Different Mickiewicz
The Mickiewicz who emerges from the texts included herein is an artist whose work centers on the experience of modernityan attempt to diagnose it and to formulate his own response. At the same time, that response takes divergent forms in the poet's work: from acceptance through rejection to paraphrase and reworking; of no less importance is the concealed presence of modernity in his work. The Mickiewicz of A Different Mickiewicz is above all a writer of contradictions, aporias, and an experience that is impossible and simultaneously necessary; it is defined by many orders of meanings that differentiate his texts' formulations of the problems they address. This phenomenon manifests itself i...
Music in Chopin's Warsaw
Music in Chopin's Warsaw examines the rich musical environment of Fryderyk Chopin's youth--largely unknown to the English-speaking world--and places Chopin's early works in the context of this milieu. Halina Goldberg provides a historiographic perspective that allows a new and better understanding of Poland's cultural and musical circumstances. Chopin's Warsaw emerges as a vibrant European city that was home to an opera house, various smaller theaters, one of the earliest modern conservatories in Europe, several societies which organized concerts, musically active churches, spirited salon life, music publishers and bookstores, instrument builders, and for a short time even a weekly paper dev...
Wyjustowani. Antologia młodych twórców
Najmłodsze pokolenie literatów śmiało sobie poczyna w czasach powracającego echa: „wszystko już napisano”. Otóż nie wszystko, jak pokazują zebrani tu autorzy. W ich twórczości gra z tradycją splata się z nowatorstwem, emocja z intelektem, szczerość z ironią, a nad tym amalgamatem rozwiązań lśni jedyna, porażająco piękna Sztuka, łącząca najbardziej odległe od siebie poetyki. Wierzymy, że każdy, miłośnik literatury znajdzie w naszej książce to, czego nieustannie szuka. Mamy też nadzieję, że wydawcy, którym wpadnie ona w ręce, prędko zaopiekują się tak obiecującymi pisarzami, o których jest jeszcze względnie cicho. Jeszcze.
