Podróż w dalekie lata ("Zegar słoneczny" (1953) Jana Parandowskiego)
2015
Zegar słoneczny [trans. Th e Sundial] by Parandowski is a collection of 13 short-stories loosely based on the author’s memories of childhood and early youth spent in a Lvov school. Written in a chatty and humorous manner, with a touch of lyricism, the stories assume a form of a sentimental recollection of a journey to distant years. Lyrical phrasing, careful choice of words, and poetic images hint at the artistic profession of the author. Because of these qualities the work becomes coherent in terms of semantics and composition. Th e narrator travels through his life in all possible directions and between many diff erent planes (apartment in Lvov, neighborhood of the family house, urban are…

Performing the author/mother/merchant/wife: moving subject positions in Minna Canth's autobiography
2010
Reading autobiography as a performative act enables for the analysis of processes involved in constructing the self. It provides a space for analysing the ways in which gender, nationality, and other social locations of the subject are negotiated. In this article, I read the famous Finnish nineteenth-century playwright and author Minna Canth’s concise autobiography, focusing on various locations of the autobiographical subject in this rather laconic matter-of-fact text. My reading follows current trends in feminist autobiographical theorising as well as feminist politics of reading. I strive to deconstruct the interpretation of autobiographies as dichotomously fixed texts. I suggest a more …

Len’ka Panteleev and the traditions of Van’ka Kain: Criminal Biography in XXth Century Russia
2017
The Fighter against the myth, or the memoirist who considers himself a Hercules (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov: an attempt at a characterization by N.M. Ezhov). The vast corpus about the 1920s Petrograd bandit Len’ka Panteleev, comprised of different texts – such as newspaper articles, fiction, film and song, with a complex and often ambiguous interplay between factual accounts and fictional adaptation – seems untypical for the era. A useful term of comparison is the similar corpus concerning the 18th century Moscow rogue Van’ka Kain. The latter shows all the typical features of 18th century criminal biographies, which at the time were popular throughout Europe. According to Michel Foucault, this…

La ri-mediazione digitale e la dissolvenza dell’io nel Photojournal di Annie Ernaux
2019
Scopo del contributo è l’analisi del Photojournal, un dispositivo fototestuale autobiografico che Annie Ernaux compone come premessa al volume delle sue opere, Écrire la vie (Gallimard, 2011). La sezione biografica del volume diventa una premessa autobiografica, dove l’autrice compone 70 foto e 100 brani dei suoi diari per spiegare le ragioni della sua scrittura. Le foto illustrano la realtà materiale e i diari esprimono la realtà soggettiva: le due condizioni che hanno permesso la scrittura delle opere dell’autrice. L’analisi della composizione fototestuale ha messo in rilievo due effetti di profondità: il palinsesto e il collage. Attraverso le sovrapposizioni degli strati dei documenti ri…
Strategie autofinzionali in "Leggenda privata" di Michele Mari
2019
Leggenda privata (2017) is the latest in a series of autobiographical writings by Michele Mari. The novel is the factual narration of the author's childhood and adolescence, documented by family photos, but is also the narration of a fictional and fantastic situation of writing, where the reader is involved in live recording. In particular, the narrative framework is structured almost like a personal essay that engages dialogically the norms and potentials, opportunities and risks of a theory of autobiography. The purpose of this article is to explore the limits, the difficulties, indeed the impossibility of autobiographical writing in Leggenda Privata, which instead verges towards a comple…
Nie każdy nosił w plecaku buławę… hetmańską. Kilka uwag o karierze wojskowej i politycznej Aleksandra Hilarego Połubińskiego w związku z pracą Andrze…
2020
Celem artykułu recenzyjnego jest ocena biografii i Aleksandra Hilarego Połubińskiego pióra Andrzeja A. Majewskiego. Dokonano w nim analizy następujących jej elementów: wykorzystanej bazy źródłowej i literatury, właściwości doboru bohatera, konstrukcji pracy oraz postawionych w niej tez. W przypadku tych ostatnich największe zastrzeżenia wzbudziły: sposób przedstawienia Połubińskiego jako dowódcy wojskowego; sprowadzenie na dalszy plan rozważań jego kariery politycznej; zmarginalizowanie działalności gospodarczej; sposób przedstawienia klienteli Połubińskiego. W połączeniu z przyjętą konstrukcją pracy — chronologiczną, z nadmiernie rozbudowanymi opisami działań wojennych, obniża to ocenę rec…
