How to take part in military interventions, military operations and fulfill its alliance commitments approached Polish society? This article is an attempt to approximate public sentiment towards Polish military engagement in the…
Karta z kalendarza, czyli wspomnienie o Gdyni
2022
On September 23, 1922, the Legislative Sejm of the Republic of Poland passed an act on the creation of the port in Gdynia. The resolution was a confirmation of the will of the Polish nation, which, although in the Treaty of Versailles, received access to the Baltic Sea, but without a port, which was necessary for the development of the state. Bearing in mind this important and round anniversary, the authors of the article decided to recall the most important circumstances and figures related to the construction of the port and the city of Gdynia. The article contains a historical outline of Gdynia, reminding that the first historical mention of it dates back to 1253. However, a lot of space…

Roads, travelling and communication in the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century. Russian and West European visitors’ perspective
2020
W artykule przedstawiony został stan techniczny dróg lądowych i rzecznych, mostów, grobli oraz pozostałej infrastruktury komunikacyjnej w Polsce na podstawie relacji podróżników z zagranicy, w tym Rosjan. Stan oraz jakość lądowych i rzecznych środków transportu był oceniany przez cudzoziemców bardzo nisko, podobnie jak jakość usług oferowanych w przydrożnych karczmach w Polsce i na Litwie. W rezultacie podróżowanie w XVIII w. po Rzeczypospolitej mogło stanowić interesujące doświadczenie. Tak goście z Rosji, jak i z krajów zachodniej Europy natrafiali na wiele przeszkód w trakcie podróży, postrzegając przy tym kraj jako pełen paradoksów. Fatalny stan dróg, przerażające swoim standardem karcz…
La bataille d’Électre dans le théâtre polonais (1946)
2019
La représentation d’Électre à Łódź en 1946 montre la découverte par les réalisateurs polonais de la riche matière de la pièce. Elle reflète de grandes émotions aussi bien que l’enthousiasme des artistes engagés dans la création de la Scène Poétique du Théâtre de l’Armée Polonaise. Elle dévoile aussi des querelles autour de la scène finale qui, d’un côté, ont confirmé la portée de la pièce, de l’autre, ont mis au jour un climat de tension au sein de la société polonaise d’après-guerre.
Whispering gallery mode resonator sensors referenced to saturated absorption lines in rubidium atoms and a fs frequency comb
2019
Optical Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators (WGMR) can be produced by many methods, for example, by flame melting of silica fibers [1], by polishing of crystals [2], by optical lithography, by solidifying transparent materials, or using commercially available microspheres. They confine light by the total internal reflection and do not need mirror coatings. A part of radiation is traveling outside the WGMR as an evanescent wave and it is used for sensing applications. WGMRs are becoming increasingly popular as biosensors [3] when their surface is covered with antibodies to provide selectivity. Advantage is that light circulates in the resonator and interacts many times with a few molecules at…
Aktywizowanie rozwoju sprawności słuchania w języku polskim jako ojczystym
2020
The aim of the present article is to present the typology of listening comprehension skills activated during Polish language lessons. What the author claims is that in Polish school two types of listening co-exist, namely: natural and activated. The former resembles conditions of natural communication, since a student assumes the role of text recipient, whereas the latter is a process of teaching the skills of listening comprehension. Based on questions and instructions elicited from selected school handbooks shows in what way the activated type of listening comprehension is taught as a part of Polish as a mother tongue lessons.
ENTREACTO / ENTR?ACTE Un film / A Film Chopin y los Sand, amor a cuatro bandas. Aproximación a la esfera privada de Fryderyk Chopin a partir de la pe…
2021
Two centuries later, the legend Chopin-Sand continues to supply the collective imaginary with vague readings, where historical truthfulness, let alone musical truth, is often contingent on the literary. The much discussed and bellicose romance between the Polish composer and the French novelist, George Sand, tends to some reductionism and evades an obvious reality: Fryderyk Chopin meets George Sand when she was already the mother of two children. This circumstance suggests reformulating certain romantic stereotypes. Jerzy Antczak?s biographical film Pragnienie Mi?o?ci (Chopin: Desire for Love, 2002) does not overlook this detail and makes it one of its narrative axes. The relationship betwe…
Two-pronged strategy
2004
Publikacijoje analizuojamas Latvijos požiūris į lietuvių ir lenkų santykius 1920 m. įvykių metu. 1920 m. rugsėjį latvių politikai turėjo ketinimų pagerinti Baltijos regiono šalių santykius su Sovietų Rusija, tačiau generolo L. Želigovskio kariniai veiksmai Vilniaus krašte palaidojo bet kokias viltis. Latvijos vyriausybė lietuviams ir lenkams siūlė susitikti deryboms Rygoje, bet lenkai atsisakė. Buvo spėjama, kad L Želigovskis palaiko ryšius su Varšuva. Latviai labai norėjo išvengti bet kokio konflikto su lenkais ir įvairiomis priemonėmis bei būdais to siekė. Atkreipiamas dėmesys, kad latviai neleido savo spaudoje paskelbti Lietuvos diplomatų pareiškimų, kuriuose buvo nepalankus požiūris į l…
Polish Translations of Anglo-American Literature and the Question of Ideology : From Romanticism to Twentieth-Century Avant-Gardes
2017
Ideology has always influenced translation, yet this fact became a topic of scholarly research only in the 1990s. The working of ideology in literary translations most often manifests itself as a conflict of value systems. From vast reservoir of foreign sources, the native axiology absorbs values that it needs to sustain its culture. It is not a coincidence that Anglo-American literature, propagating ideas of democracy and individual freedom, became popular in Poland in the first half of the nineteenth-century when Poland did not exist as a state. Only a century later, American literature was the most popular of all foreign literatures in pre-1939 Poland. World War II changed this situation…
