Tytuł: Studia o Królu-Duchu Juliusza Słowackiego Redaktor(rzy): Kuziak, Michał; Ławski, Jarosław Abstrakt: The present volume contains a collection of studies devoted to one of the most significant literary works of the Polish Romantic period: the poem King-Spirit (also variously translated as ‘The Spirit King’ or ‘King the Spirit’) by Juliusz Słowacki (1809–1849). Its First Rhapsody was published in Paris in 1847. The poet worked on various manuscript versions of the subsequent rhapsodies until his death. Editors of the twentieth-century publications of the poem were free to choose one manuscript version over another. The poem does not readily lend itself to interpretation, not least because of its fragmentary nature. Masterfully written using the ottava rima, it is a metempsychic epic of successive incarnations through history of Er the Armenian, the poem’s mystical protagonist. The first academic conference ever to be devoted entirely to this particular poem was held in Białystok on 6–7 May, 2016 to commemorate the 170th anniversary (1847–2017) of the first publication of the First Rhapsody. The conference was titled “The poem King-Spirit by Juliusz Słowacki. Text – literary history – interpretations – comparative contexts”. The sessions took place at the Łukasz Górnicki Library. The event was organised by the ‘East-West’ Chair of Language and Literature Studies; Faculty of Philology, University of Białystok; Section of Non-literary Texts and Occasional Literature of the Department of Comparative Studies; Faculty of Polish Studies at Warsaw University; Head Office of the Adam Mickiewicz Literary Society; Łukasz Górnicki Podlasie Library in Białystok. The organising committee was headed by Prof. Jarosław Ławski (University of Białystok), and the research committee by Prof. Halina Krukowska (University of Białystok). Participants in the conference discussed the following research topics: – New readings of ‘parts’ and ‘the whole’ of King-Spirit; – The history of its publications and interpretations from 1847 to the present day..; – The poem in comparative contexts; – King-Spirit against the background of Central and Eastern European literatures; – Visual and inter-disciplinary artistic representations and interactions with the poem; – The genre traditions of and in King-Spirit; – Philosophical, hermetic, cultural, and religious contexts of the poem; – Aesthetics of the poem: symbol, myth, stigma, stanzaic prosody, etc.; – Intertextuality and auto-intertextuality of the poem; – King-Spirit as a formula of the Polish and European identity. The conference was attended by 40 researchers from Poland and the Netherlands, most of whom subsequently submitted papers for publication. Some of the papers have been published in the philological journal Bibliotekarz Podlaski (No. 4/2017). The papers collected in this book are divided into three chapters: I. Interpretations (the chapter contains overall analyses of the work); II. Symbols, motifs, ideas (the chapter contains analyses of selected elements of the poem’s aesthetics); III. Text/texts; reception (textual analysis, literary reception, and onstage interpretation of the work). The collection has been edited by: Prof. Michał Kuziak – a specialist on the interpretation of Romantic literature from Warsaw University; Prof. Jarosław Ławski – Head of the ‘East-West’ Chair of Language and Literature Studies of the University of Białystok.

Tytuł: Panel. „Nowe idee w badaniach nad romantyzmem i wiekiem XIX” Białystok, 6–7 maja 2016 Abstrakt: The presented text is a record of the panel which accompanied the National Academic Conference “Król-Duch by Juliusz Słowacki. Text – history of reading – interpretations – comparative contexts”. It was organised on the “170th Anniversary of the Publication of the First Rhapsody (1847–2017)” in Białystok on 6–7 May 2016. It was the first ever session exclusively about this work by Słowacki; it was organised at the initiative of Białystok researchers, but in cooperation with the Warsaw academic community. The subject of discussion during the panel were new methodological tendencies, which in the 21st century accompany the reflection on Słowacki’s King-Spirit, but also the whole literature of Polish and European Romanticism. The inspirations of such methodologies as ecocriticism, biographics, criticism of affect, feminism, and post-humanism were pointed out. Researchers paid particular attention to the issues of modern editing, especially the question of how to publish fragmentary Romantic works, such as Słowacki’s poem. A separate issue that interested the participants in the discussion was the need to revise and re-evaluate the canon of authors and Romantic texts in different national cultures. In the culture of Polish Romanticism, this extension would primarily concern writers from the eastern – Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian – lands of the former Commonwealth. During the panel, Professor Michał Kuziak from the University of Warsaw also presented the concept of a new series devoted to Romantic literature called “Studia Romantyczne”.

Tytuł: Król-Duch teatralny: Król_Duch w reżyserii Łukasza Kosa w oczach krytyków Autorzy: Makaruk, Maria Abstrakt: The King-Spirit is one of the least staged literary works of Juliusz Słowacki. This article is an attempt to reconstruct King-Spirit theatre play directed by Lukasz Kos in 2009 at the Teatr Nowy in Łódź. The memory of the play is today kept alive only thanks to theatrical reviews. All that can be currently found in the theatre’s archives is merely piece of the play’s first part. Thanks to the directors’ use of the open text approach, the attention of the philologist is drawn. However, the reviews of Kos’ staging were fairy unfavourable.
