Insultes croisées: Byron, Keats et leurs critiques

2005

This paper deals with two British poets, both insulted by reviewers. Byron and Keats share the unenviable privilege of having being severely attacked by Scottish reviewers, on different grounds perhaps, but with the same cutting spite. When does the critical reading of a poem become downright insult? This entails several questions: what exactly is being insulted here, in other words which feature of the writer is attacked by the reviewer, and why is that an attack, thus exceeding the moderate, rational assessment of a poem? Moreover, the very words used for the insult deserve to be examined. Is form insulting in itself? Finally, why be so cruel to mere poets? To add a little spice, Byron an…

Raport o stanie dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego w Polsce

2017

The article is an attempt to describe the condition of the discourse of literary criticism as practiced in Poland. The author investigates the process of gradual impoverishment and despecification of the language of literary criticism, which reveals itself via diverse socio-literary phenomena, such as the demand for shortenings and evaluative character of literary criticism, the places where literary criticism appears, the disappearance of the quality of the dialogue, and the way literary criticism functions in the Polish contemporary publishing market. A separate part of these considerations is devoted to the overview of the critics’ approaches to the condition of the discourse of literary…

UPBRINGING AND LEARNING UNITY AS A SOURCE FOR DEVELOPING TEACHERS' EMOTIONAL RESPONSIVENESS

2020

In the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the scientific research in Europe started focusing more on the problems of upbringing. Pedagogical science was no exception, and also started raising questions regarding upbringing including both the teaching/learning and the upbringing/self-education processes in pedagogical activities and in the education system as a whole. The united way in which the teaching/learning, upbringing/self-education work is conducted at educational institutions reflects the professionalism of the teacher. The study reveals the necessity and importance of upbringing and unity in teaching work for the pedagogical processes of the 21st…

Conrad Under Polish Eyes - or: is Conrad still "one of us"?

2015

This article discusses the attitude of Polish Conrad scholars towards Conrad and his works from the very beginning of his literary career to the present day, discussing the way they have perceived Conrad’s national identity and his cultural belonging. Although I aim to present a review of Polish criticism over the years, I pay particular attention to modern criticism, i.e. that of the period since the end of the Second World War, which includes the years of de facto communist rule (1945-1989). I try to determine whether Conrad is still “one of us”, whether he can be perceived as a moralist in the twenty-fi rst century and whether there is a need for such a moralist in present-day Poland.

Letteratura e letterarietà in Jacques Lacan

2017

Questa sezione monografica della rivista "La Psicoanalisi" intende esaminare il rapporto di Jacques Lacan con la letteratura e la critica letteraria. Gli studi qui raccolti si concentrano inoltre sulla "letterarietà", che caratterizza il pensiero di Lacan non soltanto come attenzione allo stile, bensì anche come rapporto con la lettera, elemento attorno a cui si ruota tutta la sua teorizzazione. This monographic section of the journal "La Psicoanalisi" intends to examine the relationship between Jacques Lacan, literature and literary criticism. The studies collected here also focus on "literacy", which characterizes Lacan's thought not only as attention to style, but also as a relationship …

The Romantics of 1909: Arthur Symons, Pierre Lasserre and T. E. Hulme

2016

Arthur Symons’s The Romantic Movement in English Poetry (1909) has elicited scant discussion. Part dictionary of British authors born before 1800, part series of portraits of canonical Romantic poets, The Romantic Movement remains perplexing with its unclear purpose and ungainly format. This article argues that Symons’s monograph should be approached in the turn of the century debate on the definition and value of British Romanticism. As opposed to T. E. Hulme’s ‘Romanticism and Classicism’ (1912?), itself indebted to Pierre Lasserre’s Le Romantisme français. Essai sur la révolution dans les sentiments et dans les idées au XIXe siècle (1907), Symons’s study appears as a defence of the roman…

Problemy współczesnej genologii medialnej

2020

The paper is an attempt at clarifying the object of research into media genology, distancing itself from literary studies genology. In the era of convergence of mass media, we can observe a progress in the blurring of the border between information and journalism, which consequently changes the contemporary communicative convention. As a result, information services are often degraded and the sense of implementing ‘traditional’ indicators of mass media genres is questioned. The change of communicative convention in contemporary mass media requires, above all, the use of cultural context for its analysis, as it determines the methods of creating messages and means of receiving them. It also …
