Abstract

This article attempts to refute the generally accepted view that Jan Wojciech (Albert) Łubieński, Pantler of Sieradz, was the patron of Piotr Baryka,, the author of the comedy Z chłopa król ( The Peasant Become King), first staged in 1633 (editio princeps, 1637). The attribution results from a conjecture, which has never been properly verified, formulated by Ludwik Bernacki in 1904. Yet in the 1630s Jan Wojciech Łubieński held no public office (he was probably completing his education) and, crucially, did not become Pantler of Sieradz until 1643. In consequence, we presume that Baryka's patron may well have been Łubieński's uncle, a wealthy man renowned for his generosity, who had the same first name.

Abstract

This is a deconstructive reading of Juliusz Słowacki's Lilla Weneda, focusing on Ślaz, an enigmatic character usually marginalized in interpretations of this quasi-historical Romantic drama. Drawing on Professor Marta Piwińska's study of ‘Lilla Weneda’ in Dramat polski: Interpretacje (2001), this article explores the gaps and fissures in Słowacki's text. While complementing her analysis with a number of alternative readings, this article also uses deconstruction to challenge some of the points that are embedded in the traditional reception of the drama.

3 The emancipation of Helena Rumiszewska from Kazimiera Alberti's novel Ci, którzy przyjdą ( Those Who Will Come) and the figure of the New Woman

Abstract

Current research into the life and work of Kazimiera Alberti, a poet and writer popular in the interwar period, connected from 1930 with Biała Krakowska, owes a great deal to Jacek Proszyk, who in 2009 staged a spectacle based on her biography at the Teatr Polski in Bielsko Biała called The Literary Salon of Kazimiera Alberti. It was followed by a spate of publications which, at this point, form a body of work ready for reassessment. This article deals with one of them, written by Karolina Pospiszil, where it is claimed that the heroine of Ci, którzy przyjdą ( Those Who Will Come, 1934), Helena Rumiszewska, is both a stereotyped, idealized female character. Focusing on the episodes which belie that description and show a character of considerable complexity driven by an emancipatory desire. She is not free from doubt when faced with various dilemmas, yet does she represent the ideal of the New Woman? This article addresses this question and discusses the issue of emancipation in the broader context of bourgeois culture and class, i.e. the social milieu o which Helena belongs.

4 Between Being and Nothingness: The poetry of Józef Czechowicz and fundamental ontology

Abstract

This article is an attempt to present a comprehensive view of the poetry of Józef Czechowicz in the context of Martin Heidegger's fundamental ontology. Czechowicz's poetic work, the article argues, is an exploration of mutual relations of the basic ontological categories of being and nothingness ( das Sein and das Nichts). They constitute the philosophical foundations of the purely literary tensions that can be detected in all comprehensive accounts of his work, such as the opposition of Arcadia and Catastrophy (Tadeusz Kłak) or the discussion of the ‘bright’ and the ‘dark’ strain in the poetry of the Second Avant-garde (Jerzy Kwiatkowski).

5 “And these stairs stirred up fear, but also a desire to escape”: The fate of a subject embroiled in the world's ambiguities in Michał Choromański's Schodami w górę, schodami w dół ( Upstairs, Downstairs)
Daniel Natkaniec
Ruch Literacki | 2022 | No 1 (370) | 73-93 | DOI: 10.24425/rl.2022.140957

Abstract

This interpretation of Michał Choromański's novel Schodami w górę, schodami w dół ( Upstairs, Downstairs) focuses primarily on issues related to the inner life of the characters and the representation of the outside world in the context of classical psychoanalysis. The appropriateness of the psychoanalytical approach is justified by numerous references to Freud's theory in the text of the novel. The study reaches out to Choromański's other novels and short stories, but embarks on a more systematic comparison of Schodami w górę, schodami w dół with only one of them, Zazdrość i medycyna ( Jealousy and Medicine), his most popular novel published in 1936.

6 “You are still here, I am still talking to you”: Poems of grief and mourning by Maria Kurecka

Abstract

This article examines a cycle of poems by Maria Kurecka, the acclaimed writer and translator, in which she mourns the loss of her husband, Witold Wirpsza, who died in 1985. Held by the archives of the Pomeranian Library in Szczecin, these unpublished poems were written in the final years of her life. In this article they are positioned and read against the background of Polish funerary poetry and its traditions. Apart from having single poems published in literary magazines, Maria Kurecka produced just one volume of poetry, Trzydzieści wierszy ( Thirty Poems, 1987). In fact, though, there may be quite a lot of poems that she chose to keep private. Remembered as an outstanding translator of German literature, Maria Kurecka the poet is virtually unknown. It is hoped that by drawing attention to her poetic work this article will contribute to a better appreciation of her achievement.

7 Loss and grief in Mikhail Shishkin's fiction

Abstract

Representations of loss, grief and mourning are have a prominent place in Mikhail Shiskhin's fiction. They coexist with other parathanatological themes such as funerals and reflections on life after death. As funerals provide the proper opening of periods of mourning, the first part of the article deals with the characters’ reactions to the scenes of death and burial. It is followed, in the second part, by a close examination of the internal life of selected female characters who experience grief after the loss of a person they love. On the whole, Shiskhin's characters seem to be less preoccupied with the funeral as a social institution, but rather tend to experience bereavement in a way which is typical of a melancholic. Drawing on Jacques Derrida's conceptualization of mourning, the article demonstrates how Shishkin's female characters conceal mourning by the act of incorporating the dead into their own bodies and allowing them their voice. At the same time, the activity of letter writing enables them to hinder or even deny bereavement, and in this way, hold off the admission of a complete loss.
