Cisza i milczenie w przepowiadaniu słowa Bożego
2011
Analysis of both biblical and liturgical texts leads to a conclusion that silence and quietness are a direct context of revelation of the Word of God, both in the Holy Scripture and liturgy. Through silence and quietness God prepares a man for listening and contemplation of the Word of God and the best example of this situation is Mary. Gospel is born in silence of Nazareth, Bethlehem and Golgotha. It is silence and quietness that enwraps Resurrection. Silence and quietness are a part of Gospel and therefore are also a part of preaching. Jesus’ silence in his death on the cross and in his resurrection confirms in a mysterious way Christ’s silence in the sacraments, especially in the Euchari…
Le silence des fous chez Zola et Maupassant
2017
Itis difficult to define all the meanings and connotations of silence depicted in literary works. In the 19th century, where the Realism and the Naturalism paid much attention to the study of both physical and mental illnesses, silence was considered as one of the distinctive signs of madness. The paper analyzes four examples of this phenomenon in selected Zola s and Maupassant s texts (novels and short stories) whose characters, all mad or maniac, embody various aspects of the silence regarded as a pathological condition of a human being.
“La solitude de l'auteur” en tant que condition sine qua non de l'acte créateur chez Marguerite Duras
2019
Loneliness seems to be a leitmotif of Marguerite Duras’s literary oeuvre. It is interpreted by the writer primarily as a personal experience, a specific form of freedom, the dominant expression of which is silence expressing pain, loss, inability to communicate with other people, unfulfilled love. Loneliness is also seen as a sine qua non condition that allows one to focus on oneself, to close oneself in one’s own world. This is an indispensable element of the author’s poetics, the one having an ontological character, referring to “the way of thinking, reasoning”. Duras treats loneliness as a typical condition of every true writer, inscribed in his or her condition, and argues that one can …
Wiersze u-ciszone : prolegomena do badań nad ciszą w wierszach Juliana Kornhausera
2021
The article offers some introductory considerations on this part of Julian Kornhauser’s poetic oeuvre that comprises the texts with silence in its diverse functions: compositional, theoretical, structural, and thematic. These considerations are based on the category of muteness as found in Martin Heidegger’s late works, that is, in the sigetics project. Additionally, the author endeavours to describe the levels on which researching silence in a poem (and poems’ silence) is justified. As a result, five working perspectives are proposed: (1) thematic, (2) poetologic, (3) formal, (4) contextual, and (5) generic. They become the frames for the discussion about the significance and place of sile…

The Conference Reimagined. Postcards, Letters, and Camping Together in Undressed Places
2019
In this paper, five authors account for the rethinking of a conference as a series of postcards, letters, rules and silent moments so that traditional hierarchies of knowledge could be overturned or, at least, sidelined. We recount how the place we convened was enlisted as an actor and the dramas and devices we applied to encounter it. We use this accounting to problematize the conventional practices of goal-oriented meetings and co-authored papers as forms of academic meaning-making. In finding a meeting point where expertise was disorientated and status undressed, we were able to investigate the idea of co-being between human and nonhuman realities as the step social theory needs to take …
Il Pnnr e le economie del turismo in Italia: le disparità regionali e le politiche
2022
The Italian regions show marked differences in the pattern of tourism development. These disparities can be offset by implementing a shared plan that supports the post-pandemic restart and strengthens its resilience to external shocks. The multiannual programming initiative launched by the EU with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) aims to address the consequences of the exogenous shocks triggered by the crisis from Covid-19 on the European production system. According to a top-down strategy articulated in a national plan and regional and sub-regional action plans, the large number of economic resources foreseen in the Plan will produce significant effects. The Pnrr's general …
Secret, silence, sacré. La trinité communicationnelle de l’Église catholique
2013
If the Catholic Church experiences difficulties in today’s world of ‘hyper-communication’ and 24/7 media pressure, esoteric religious language or generalised misuse of the media may not be the only factors to blame. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the reasons run more deeply into the communications ethos of the Catholic Church itself. More precisely, the paper contends that the Church’s communication in the social sphere cannot totally escape the principle of secrecy. This is not to say that there is one particular secret which the Church wishes to keep, rather that the whole Catholic tradition is marked by a culture and practice of secrecy, as shown through such examples as the …
Exploring the Anatomy of an Academic Myth
2015
This paper contributes to the discussion on so-called academic myths by analysing the idea of silence as characteristic of a Finnish communication style. By reviewing contemporary research literature and earlier sources, we illustrate how the concept of the silent Finn has emerged and how it endures, reproduced in both public and academic discourses while lacking empirical evidence. Our analysis proposes six key characteristics to academic myths: that they are built on shaky grounds, widely circulated, used as an expedient, intuitively appealing, resistant to change, and self-replicating. The paper addresses possible reasons behind the persistence of such myths and their implications for ac…
