Oblężenie Jewgienija Griszkowca Autorzy: Biegluk-Leś, Weronika Abstrakt: The author of this article analyzes the play The Siege by Evgeny Grishkovets, a renowned contemporary Russian writer. She places it against a background of the rest of his works, exposing essential features that characterize his entire dramaturgy, such as the presence of metatheatrical devices, recognition of the importance of contact with the audience, and emphasis on stage performance. The analysis also draws attention to such elements of the play as non-homogeneous spatio-temoral framework, hybrid composition of characters, and parallel development of plot threads. Special attention is paid to the “imprisoning” of characters in discourses and the ambivalent nature of cultural symbols. As the author points out, the Siege stands out in the Grishkovets’s oeuvre, both by departing from the dominant monodrama form and by juxtaposing key themes recurring in his works: the human experience of war, the reflection on the nature of time, the collapse of language referential abilities, and the impossibility of authentic communication 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/8679 Tytuł: Motyw urody kobiecej w utworze Obraz panej krásnej perem malovaný, která má v Trnave svoje prebývání Štefana Ferdinanda Seleckiego Autorzy: Sagało, Monika Abstrakt: The article discusses the description of feminine beauty in the Slovak baroque love poem Obraz panej krasnej perem malovaný, která má v Trnave svoje prebývání by Štefan Ferdinand Selecki. The author points to the essential function of feminine figures from the Age of Antiquity (Mary Magdalene, Judith, Diana, Terpsichore, Sibyl, Lucretia, and Helen). The poet invokes them to construct the main female character. The analysis considers the selection of figures and their features, which collaborate ideally to portray the “lady of Trnava”. The stunning physical beauty of the Slovak aristocrat corresponds with inner grace, virtue and purity. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/8678 Tytuł: Odkrywanie cielesności. O bohaterkach powieści Łuk Juliusza Kadena-Bandrowskiego i Kochanek Lady Chatterley D.H. Lawrence’a Autorzy: Głowacka-Czarnopyś, Greta Abstrakt: The article contains a comparative analysis of two female protagonists in Łuk by Juliusz Kaden Bandrowski and Lady Chatterley’s Lover by David Herbert Lawrence. The comparison draws from the fact that both writers were considered as scandalizing by their contemporaries. The two discussed novels present transformations of the heroines, socially liberatedas a result of the Great War. The article analyses the female discovery of sensuality as a common motif of the two novels. It shows the literary images of feminine sensuality in the context of interwar vitality, aesthetic experience of human body and sexuality perceived as visual and tactile sensations. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/8677 Tytuł: Narkotyczna odyseja z rozkładem społecznym w tle – Ślepnąc od świateł Jakuba Żulczyka Autorzy: Piechota, Dariusz Abstrakt: The article interprets Ślepnąc od świateł [Blind from the Lights] as a postmodern environmental novel which shows the life of residents in a large metropolis, entangled in constant consumption. The author reads the story as a continuation of the nineteenth century novel about a social decay. He proves that the depicted society, delighted with consumer culture, is wasting its opportunities for development. As a result of the breakdown of social ties and constant work, urbanites suffer from permanent loneliness. The disillusionment is alsointensified by the disappearance of spirituality. The crisis of authority and social antagonisms further undermine the integrity and the sense of coherence in the self. But Żulczyk’s characters fail to reflect on life, which the author of the article sees as the sign of immaturity. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
