2008

Durante l'undicesima edizione del Festivaletteratura di Mantova, nel settembre 2007, Wole Soyinka, insieme alla studiosa e traduttrice Alessandra Di Maio, ha ripercorso la sua carriera poetica, spiegandone svolte e sviluppi.

Świat malowany słowem. Analiza pola semantycznego nazw barw w Máju Karla Hynka Máchy

2011

Autorka w swoim artykule przedstawia pole semantyczne barw w najważniejszym dziele czeskiego romantyzmu Máj, napisanym przez Karla Hynka Máchę. Klasyfikuje ona nazwy kolorów według części mowy: rzeczowniki, przymiotniki, przysłówki i czasowniki z uwzględnieniem pasm tęczy (wyrazy nazywające kolory wprost i pośrednio). Ponadto podaje listę leksemów, które wyrażają intensywność nasycenia światła i efekt mroku. Autorka dochodzi do wniosku, że ważne miejsce w opisie przyrody zajmuje gra świateł, a także wydobycie przejściowych kontrastów światła przez Karla Hynka Máchę. Authoress, in her article, presents semantic field of colours in the most important work of Czech romanticism entitled Máj wri…

Contemporary Polish poetry for children

2021

This article mainly deals with the history of the contemporary Polish poetry for children (end of XX century — beginning of XXI). The author shows how contemporary children’s poetry is linked with the traditional one (and also some folklore forms), characterizes the creative styles of several contemporary poets (J. Twardowski, Z. Beszczyńska, J. Kulmowa, W. Oszajca), and points out several breaks from the tradition. The author names two main streams in children’s contemporary poetry as “Lyric poetry” and “Playing with words”, and speaks in detail of their creative approaches and readers’ pragmatics. Especially interesting is the comparison of contemporary children’s poetry samples and the c…

An English Poet in Scotland: John Keats's Letters To His Brother Tom

2005

This paper studies the letters John Keats sent to his brother during his walking tour of Scotland. This means of expression provided the young poet with a medium in which to share his doubts and shocks when confronted with what was still a very foreign country for an Englishman at the time. The article first shows how letter-writing plays a part in creating distance from unpleasant experiences, mostly thanks to humour. It then moves on to a study of Keats's reactions in front of the Scottish landscape and Burns's cottage and tombstone, two aspects of Scotland he had been eager to discover. The language in the letters thus gradually becomes more literary, and the last part of the article foc…

"Zasiewający we łzach, w radości żąć będą" (Ps 126,5). Motywy radości w Psałterzu na przykładzie Psalmu 126

2016

Joy is one of the basic human feelings that express emotional, psychological, and spiritual state. Thus the biblical books and especially the Book of Psalms show various motifs of joy among numerous existential situations. Not only joy is the characteristic but its distinct reference to the relation with God as the One who is the source of joy even in the midst of worries and trials. It is exemplified by Psalm 126 which presents the motifs of joy included in the experience of sowing and harvesting. These motifs were raised accurately and meaningfully in the description of the situation of changing man’s lot from the state of sadness, caused by suffering, to joy and happiness of new life.

¿Por qué la literatura?

In poetry, as well as in a good part of prose works, the rhythm of words is the music that governs reason and emotion. Literature occupies an important place in my creation. In this article I describe the different procedures in which I configure its presence in my music and the main themes in four of my works: Envoi, Como el viento, Maya and Transmutación.

'[I]t wasn’t in the picture and is not': Blind Spots and Vanishing Points in Irish Poetical Self-Portraits

2016

International audience; Pictoriality and a propensity for self-examination and self-representation are characteristic of the poetry of Louis MacNeice, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon. In many a poem, these four contemporary Irish poets try to capture their own portraits in words and images, through highly visual poems often inspired by paintings. This paper first examines how these poets use images and invest paintings, how verbal and iconic texts interact in their creations and to what extent self-exegesis is made possible and more successful through ekphrasis. With reference to Jacques Derrida’s essay on self-portraiture—Memoirs of the Blind: Self-Portraits and Other Ruins—thi…
