Download or read book Being Poland written by Tamara Trojanowska and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Poland offers a unique analysis of the cultural developments that took place in Poland after World War One, a period marked by Poland's return to independence. Conceived to address the lack of critical scholarship on Poland's cultural restoration, Being Poland illuminates the continuities, paradoxes, and contradictions of Poland's modern and contemporary cultural practices, and challenges the narrative typically prescribed to Polish literature and film. Reflecting the radical changes, rifts, and restorations that swept through Poland in this period, Polish literature and film reveal a multitude of perspectives. Addressing romantic perceptions of the Polish immigrant, the politics of post-war cinema, poetry, and mass media, Being Poland is a comprehensive reference work written with the intention of exposing an international audience to the explosion of Polish literature and film that emerged in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Rethinking Modern Polish Identities written by Agnieszka Pasieka and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical examination of the category of "Polishness" - that is, the formation, redefinition, and performance of various kinds of Polish identities - from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives. Inspired by new research in the humanities and social sciences as well as recent scholarship on national identities, this volume offers a rigorous examination of the idea of Polishness. Offering a diversity of case studies and methodological-theoretical approaches, it demonstrates a profound connection between national and transnational processes and places the Polish case in a broader context. This broader context stretches from a larger Eastern European one, a usual frame of comparison, to the overseas immigrant communities. The authors, renowned scholars from Europe and the United States, thus demonstrate that an understanding of modern Polish identity means crossing not only historical but also geographical boundaries. Consequently, the narrative on Polish identity that unfolds in the volume is a personalized and multivocal one that presents the perspectives of a wide range of subjects: peasants, workers, migrants, ethnic and sexual minorities-that is, all those actors who have been absent in grand national narratives. As such, the examination of Polishness sheds light on the identity question more broadly, emphasizing the interplay of pluralizing and homogenizing tendencies, and fostering a reflection on national identity as encompassing both sameness and difference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume emerged from the conference "Polish Literature Since 1989" held at the University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies. It shows how the profound political and economic transformation that has taken place in Poland since the end of communism in 1989 has affected literary culture and literary scholarship, such as: changing conceptions of Polish nationhood and identity * the impact of European integration (since 2004) * the effects of migration * revised conceptions of the foreign or the marginal, and new understandings of what is understood by emigre or emigrant literature * sensitivity to issues of gender and sexual identity, as well as the impact of feminism and queer studies * the huge impact of revived interest in the Jewish heritage, in Holocaust memory, and in Polish-Jewish relations.

Download or read book Contemporary Writers of Poland written by Danuta Blaszak and published by Dorota Silaj Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Writers Of Poland Approximately 1980-2000 second edition Cover design: Agnieszka Herman Consultant: Dorota Silaj About Polish literature Danuta Blaszak Introduction The anthology, both: the first edition and this edition, contains samples of poems and a few pieces of prose of writers of Poland. I present the writers who published significant things before 2000, who debuted while Russian communism failed and the Poland's borders became open, or much earlier. The first edition was a static picture of Poland. It was a picture taken at the time when the borders of Poland opened. Feedback to the first edition, some comments of historians and critics, greatly impacted the new edition. I added some reviews here, as an example of this feedback. I've been trying to put together the pieces of Polish literature, to find the dynamic picture, reasons, influences, main currents. I've been trying to find a dynamic picture of Polish literature. While I was working on the first edition, I felt many logic paths were broken. The feedback to the first edition allowed me to understand the reasons. The history of Polish literature was highly impacted by communistic manipulation and censure. Some names and facts were not to be mentioned. Some facts were to be mentioned in an intentionally false way. Communism strongly promoted some writers. The procedure of these choices was mysterious. A few good writers got their chance - for example: Wislawa Szymborska. Later - after the borders became open - the picture of Polish literature was highly biased by some new groups that tried to grab aggressively the vacant seats of the Solidarity government. History should be continuous. So it's good to mentionabout the history of Poland right after the ww2. The first independent Polish magazine appeared in 1956 - after Stalin's death. Most great writers of that time, and many years later, were connected with that magazine. It influenced Polish literature as brave, and later - really independent. I am glad that I may add to the Anthology an interview with Leszek Szymanski (known also as Leslie Shyman), the first editor of the first independent newspaper. I'm proud of having in the Anthology an article by Leszek Zulinski about the literature of 1980s. I add also a short article by Brudnicki about sense of humor that is characteristic for Polish literature as the meanings between lines. I add also my article about International Poetry Days in 2007 - the point that the literature of Poland achieved in 2007. Danuta Blaszak

Download or read book Contemporary Writers of Poland written by Baszak Danuta and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poland is the country that defeated communism. Poles love freedom and very special strong individualism is typical of them. The Anthology is thus a wide presentation of contemporary writers of Poland - a generation after two recent Nobel Prize winners with Polish backgrounds Milosz and Szymborska. The Anthology consists of two parts: poetry and a few short stories. Poems seem to be more popular in Poland. The second part is rather complementary than a separate presentation of the country. The poems in the Anthology contain an explicit message for readers. They are not only a linguistic game even with professional linguistic attributes. The poems and the short stories are not a linguistic joke -- so one can get the message. Pope John Paul II was from Poland -- he was a poet and he is presented in the Anthology. Some ...
Download or read book Polish Literature as World Literature written by Piotr Florczyk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully curated collection consists of 16 chapters by leading Polish and world literature scholars from the United States, Canada, Italy, and, of course, Poland. An historical approach gives readers a panoramic view of Polish authors and their explicit or implicit contributions to world literature. Indeed, the volume shows how Polish authors, from Jan Kochanowski in the 16th century to the 2018 Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk, have engaged with their foreign counterparts and other traditions, active participants in the global literary network and the conversations of their day. The volume features views of Polish literature and culture within theories of world literature and literary systems, with a particular attention paid to the resurgence of the idea of the physical book as a cultural artifact. This perspective is especially important since so much of today's global literary output stems from Anglophone perceptions of what constitutes literary quality and tastes. The collection also sheds light on specific issues pertaining to Poland, such as the idea of Polishness, and global phenomena, including social and economic advancement as well as ecological degradation. Some of the authors discussed, like the Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz or the 1980 Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz, were renowned far beyond the borders of their country, while others, like the contemporary travel writer and novelist Andrzej Stasiuk, embrace regionalism, seeing as they do in their immediate surroundings a synecdoche of the world at large. Nevertheless, the picture of Polish literature and Polish authors that emerges from these articles is that of a diverse, cosmopolitan cohort engaged in a mutually rewarding relationship with what the late French critic Pascale Casanova has called “the world republic of letters.”
Download or read book Our Man in Warszawa written by Jo Harper and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a Brit who has lived in Poland for more than twenty years, this book challenges some accepted thinking in the West about Poland and about the rise of Law and Justice (PiS) as the ruling party in 2015. It is a remarkable account of the Polish post-1989 transition and contemporary politics, combining personal views and experience with careful fact and material collections. The result is a vivid description of the events and scrupulous explanations of the political processes, and all this with an interesting twist – a perspective of a foreigner and insider at the same time. Settled in the position of participant observer, Jo Harper combines the methods of macro and micro analysis with CDA, critical discourse analysis. He presents and interprets the constituent elements and issues of contemporary Poland: the main political forces, the Church, the media, issues of gender, the Russian connection, the much-disputed judicial reform and many others. A special feature of the book is the detailed examination of the coverage of the Poland’s latest two elections, one in 2019 (parliamentary) and the other in 2020 (presidential) in the British media, an insightful and witty specimen of comparative cultural and political analysis.

Download or read book Eastern Europe 3 volumes written by Richard Frucht and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-12-22 with total page 951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary analysis of the people, cultures, and society within the regions that make up Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe: An Introduction to the People, Lands, and Culture sheds light on modern-day life in the 16 nations comprising Eastern Europe. Going beyond the history and politics already well documented in other works, this unique three-volume series explores the social and cultural aspects of a region often ignored in books and curricula on Western civilization. The volumes are organized by geographic proximity and commonality in historical development, allowing the countries to be both studied individually and juxtaposed against others in the region. The first volume covers the northern tier of states, the second looks at lands that were once part of the Hapsburg empire, and the third examines the Balkan states. Each chapter profiles a single country—its geography, history, political development, economy, and culture—and gives readers a glimpse of the challenges that lie ahead. Vignettes on various topics of interest illuminate the unique character of each country.
