"Moskiewski pachołek" versus "polski patriota". Niepubliczne opinie o generale Wojciechu Jaruzelskim z lat 1981-1982
2016
Opinie o generale Wojciechu Jaruzelskim uzależnione są od stosunku zainteresowanych do wydarzeń z lat osiemdziesiątych XX w., a szczególnie do okoliczności wprowadzenia i przebiegu stanu wojennego. Wiele ocen pozostaje do dnia dzisiejszego niedostępnych dla opinii publicznej. Są to między innymi dokumenty dyplomatyczne, w których oceny generała Jaruzelskiego były diametralnie różnymi od tych, które prezentowano opinii publicznej. Z generałem łączono wiele nadziei na zapobieżenie bezpośredniego, tzn. militarnego zaangażowania się ZSRR w sprawy polskie. Nierzadko padało określenie „polski patriota”. Pozytywnie oceniano jego postawę w lipcu 1981 r., a także intencje związane z wprowadzeniem st…
‘Internationalizing Pearl Craigie’
2018
International audience; My presentation focuses on Pearl Craigie (aka John Oliver Hobbes), arguably a key figure of cosmopolitan fin de siècle. Born in the U.S. but educated in Britain and partly in France, Craigie became overnight famous with Some Emotions and a Moral in 1891 although the novella was published in Fisher T. Unwin’s Pseudonymous Series. In 1892 Craigie converted to Catholicism while embarking on a series of tales, plays, journalistic contributions including travelogues, and novels with a noted internationalistic vein. If her position within British Decadence is arguably debatable, her cosmopolitanism is not: from her personal networks to her literary writings including her j…
Obraz wspólnoty katolickiej w polskim dyskursie religijnym
2018
The aim of the article is to analyse contemporary patriotic preaching. It proves that the ethnocentrism of the Church in Poland, has an ethnically based definition of sacrum, limiting one's view to the Polish national community. As a consequence 'we'in such discourse is an equivalent of 'we, the Polish people'. Christian (or generally: human, universal) attitude is not evident. In the first part of the article the main elements of religious discourse are presented: type of speaker (hierarchs of the Church - archbishops, bishops), occasions (national and religious celebrations), places (cathedral, basilica, Jasna Góra Monastery). In the second part of the article, its author analyses a sermo…
Remembrance of Jews in contemporary catholic homilies
2020
The paper discusses the problem of transferring the memory of Jews through Polish contemporary Catholic homilies. In the biblical pericopies read throughout the liturgical year during Catholic mass, generally Jews play a negative role – as persecutors and killers of Jesus. According to the provisions of the Second Vatican Council, anti-Jewish content cannot be proclaimed in the Catholic Church, and the Bible, which according to the doctrine must remain unchanged, should be adequately commented on in homilies. The paper – on the example of about 40 homilies – shows, however, that priests who preach homilies do not use modern exegetic knowledge, but replicate stereotypes deeply rooted in cult…
Da Toniolo a Sturzo : scenario storico e progetto politico dei cattolici in Italia
2020
Le biografie intellettuali di Giuseppe Toniolo e Luigi Sturzo, arricchite dal loro considerevole patrimonio di opere d’ingegno e d’azione, raccontano in prima persona la storia del movimento cattolico italiano, descrivendone e preparandone dall’interno i cambiamenti che esso vive e attraversa durante alcuni decisivi passaggi intercorsi tra l’Ottocento e il Novecento. Di questo percorso storico, infatti, l’uno e l’altro sono a pieno titolo protagonisti e vi agiscono elaborando idee e visioni, i cui effetti si colgono distintamente nelle organizzazioni sociali e politiche da loro concepite e fondate. Le Settimane sociali e il Partito popolare italiano restano nel tempo come i punti cardinali …
Nación, emoción y fantasía. La España melodramática de Ayguals de Izco = Nation, Emotion and Fantasy. Ayguals de Izco's Melodramatic Spain
2017
El artículo analiza las novelas por entregas de Wenceslao Ayguals de Izco (1801-1873) desde su dimensión melodramática para señalas de qué modo participaron en la creación de los imaginarios, las narrativas sociales y políticas y la "comunidad emocional" del radicalismo democrático español de mediados del siglo XIX. Posteriormente examino una serie de "fantasías nacionales" que se repiten con insistencia en estas novelas melodramáticas: la unión matrimonial como metáfora de la plenitud nacional, el mártir por la patria y el "ángel de salvación" que socorre a los desfavorecidos. Todas estas fantasías se fundan en la diferencia sexual (al tiempo que la construyen) y permiten la identificación…
Le culte en quête de signes. Une lecture de la campagne du « Denier de l’Église »
2010
Using a semiotic approach, this article analyses the communication actions of the Catholic Church, from a de-centred point of view. Indeed, rather than focusing on the communicational values of the evangelical message, we examine the way that the Church communicates outside its institutional and spiritual sphere, in the profane world of the media, through the example of the "campagne du Denier" fundraising campaign. This is both a fundraising activity, and a message aimed at Catholics, in a sector - public charity and donations - which is highly competitive. As a result, the Church must (re)define its position, the public that it constructs through its discourse, and its discourse itself, i…

2011

Dialettiche del Risorgimento: Del Noce e Frosini interpreti della storia politica italiana
2021
Nel saggio si propone un confronto tra le interpretazioni del Risorgimento di Augusto Del Noce e Vittorio Frosini. Ne sono concetti di particolare rilievo l’incontro tra cattolicesimo e spirito liberale o l’accostamento tra i valori risorgimentali di una libertà di ispirazione laica e democratica. Antonio Rosmini e Giuseppe Mazzini costituiscono tra le principali fonti e premesse speculative sulle cui basi poggia il discorso politico dell’uno e dell’altro. The essay proposes a comparison between the interpretations of the Risorgimento by Augusto Del Noce and Vittorio Frosini. Concepts of particular importance are the encounter between Catholicism and the liberal spirit or the juxtaposition …
L’Italia repubblicana di Tommaseo tra letteratura e politica
2020
The essay reconstructs the presence and the role of Niccolò Tommaseo (1802-1874) in the Unification of Italy by examining the overall republican vision of Italy through his works, inspired by the ideas of liberal Catholicism. The paragraphs of the article highlight the cultural and political experiences he lived through, both in the years spent in exile in Paris and in the years before and after 1848. Particular attention is paid to the intellectual relationships that link Tommaseo to Florence, where he spends a good part of his life establishing himself as a writer and a patriot committed to national independence, always striving for a balanced relationship between Church and State even af…
