Эмоцыа і рацыа ў беларускай санетыстыцы – на прыкладзе вянка санетаў Яна Чыквіна "Святая Студня" і перакладаў "Крымскіх санетаў" Адама Міцкевіча на беларускую мову

The article deals with two directions of development in Belarusian sonnet writing; the first, named according to its initiator – kupalaŭski (Kupala’s), includes free sonnets; the second, named – bahdanovičaŭski (Bahdanovič’s), includes sonnets according to the classical canon. The author of this article draws attention to the fact that the sonnet, as a kind of verse, holds an important place in Belarusian poetry of the 20 th century and is still relevant today. Belarusian poets, however, often deliberately do not keep to strict sonnet rules: emotion in such works prevails over rationality. With the help of the comparative method it investigates the form and content of the crown of sonnets Śviataja studnia (The Holy Well) by Jan Čykvin compared with the translations of Sonety krymskie (Crimean Sonnets) by Adam Mickiewicz into Belarusian as well as similar works by some Belarusian authors (the crown of sonnets Narač (Lake Narač) by Nil Hilievič, and the crown of sonnets Apakalipsis dušy (Apocalypse of the Soul) by Źmitrok Marozaŭ). The author of this article considers separately the rhythmic structure of the sonnets in Śviataja studnia and the translations of Sonety krymskie. It is shown how the irregular rhythmic structure of the free sonnets creates additional levels of perception of the text. The article concludes that the two directions in Belarusian sonnet writing survived in parallel throughout the 20th century and continued into the 21st. And if the first direction (emotionally determined) dominated at the beginning, the second direction (rationally determined), at the current stage of the Belarusian literary process, has expanded significantly in the work of Belarusian authors.W artykule zostały omówione dwa nurty rozwoju białoruskiej sonetystyki: nurt klasyczny zainicjowany przez Maksima Bahdanowicza (tzw. nurt bahdanowiczowski) oraz nurt awangardowy, zapoczątkowany przez Jankę Kupałę (tzw. nurt kupałowski). Autor podkreśla, że sonet jako gatunek literacki zajmuje ważne miejsce w poezji białoruskiej XX w. i jest wykorzystywany również współcześnie. Białoruscy poeci często świadomie nie przestrzegali zasad kompozycyjnych sonetu, ponadto preferowali opisy własnych stanów emocjonalnych, elementy racjonalne odsuwając na dalszy plan. Dzięki zastosowaniu metody komparatystycznej analizie poddano formę i treść: cyklu sonetów Święta studnia (Святая студня),przekładów Sonetów krymskich Adama Mickiewicza na język białoruski oraz podobnych utworów poetów białoruskich (cyklu sonetów Narocz (Нарач) Nila Hilewicza oraz Apokalipsy duszy Zmitroka Marozaua). Dokonano również analizysposobu rytmizowania cyklu sonetów Święta studnia Jana Czykwina oraz  przekładu Sonetów krymskich. Wskazano, nieregularne rytmy sonetów wolnych pozwalają na wieloaspektową interpretację tekstu. W artykule udowodniono, że omówione nurty rozwojowe sonetystyki współistniały w w XX w. i funkcjonują w naszych czasach. O ile jednak w twórczości autorów białoruskich początkowo dominował nurt awangardowy, o tyle obecnie obserwujemy powrót do sonetu w jego klasycznej formie.У артыкуле разглядаюцца два кірункі развіцця беларускай санетыстыкі; да першага, названага паводле яго ініцыятара купалаўскім, належаць вольныя санеты, да другога, названага – багдановічаўскім – санеты, створаныя паводле класічнага канона. Аўтар артыкула звяртае ўвагу на тое, што санет як від верша займае важнае месца ў беларускай паэзіі ХХ ст. і дагэтуль з’яўляецца актуальным. Аднак беларускія паэты часта свядома не прытрымліваюцца строгіх правіл санета, эмацыянальнае ў такім творы пераважае над рацыянальным. Пры дапамозе кампаратывісцкага метаду даследуецца форма і змест вянка санетаў Святая студня ў супастаўленні з перакладамі Крымскіх санетаў Адама Міцкевіча на беларускую мову, а таксама з падобнымі творамі беларускіх паэтаў (вянок санетаў Нарач Ніла Гілевіча, вянок вянкоў санетаў Апакаліпсіс душы Змітрака Марозава). Асобна разглядаецца рытмічная структура вянка санетаў Святая студня Яна Чыквіна і перакладаў Крымскіх санетаў. Паказана, як іррэгулярная рытмічная структура ў вольных санетах утварае дадатковыя сэнсавыя ўзроўні ўспрыняцця тэксту. У артыкуле сцвярджаецца, што гэтыя два кірункі ў беларускай санетыстыцы паралельна праіснавалі на працягу ўсяго ХХ ст. і перайшлі ў ХХІ ст. І калі напачатку дамінаваў першы (эмоцыа дэтэрмінаваны), то на сучасным этапе беларускага літаратурнага працэсу другі (рацыа дэтэрмінаваны) значна расшырыў свае пазіцыі ў творчасці беларускіх аўтараў

Od Szymanowskiego do Mitoraja. 100 lat antyku sycylijskiego w polskiej literaturze i sztuce

W wielojęzycznej i wielokulturowej Europie, z którą wiąże się wiele programów europejskich, ten tom młodych naukowców jest bardzo potrzebny. Świadczy o tym, że młodzi ludzie widzą sens Unii Europejskiej, doceniają programy europejskie i aktywnie w nich uczestniczą. Chcą również przybliżyć Polskę, jej język i kulturę innym narodom. Sprzyja temu aktywna wymiana naukowców i studentów między krajami Unii. W tym aspekcie podejmowane badania są jak najbardziej uzasadnione. Jest to już czwarty tom z cyklu „Bogactwo językowe i kulturowe Europy w oczach Polaków i cudzoziemców”. Są w nim przedstawione dwa ujęcia: spojrzenie Polaków na cudzoziemców i cudzoziemców na nas. Znaczna część artykułów poświęcona jest też glottodydaktyce języków obcych, a przede wszystkim nauczaniu języka polskiego jako obcego.Publikacja wydana dzięki wsparciu finansowemu Władz Rektorskich Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego oraz Pani Dziekan Wydziału Filologicznego Uniwersytetu Łódzkieg

Osobnienie

The article aims to outline the presence of a metaphysical perspective in Stanisław Barańczak’s poems which is already present in the poet’s earliest works. Barańczak outlines this process in his debut collection. His translation achievements support the presence of a metaphysical perspective in his original poems, and the mutual dependence of his poetry writing and translation can already be clearly felt in his initial works. The article compares the views of poets from generations younger than Barańczak’s and their reactions to the work of the author of A Postcard from the Other World (Widokówka z tego świata).The article aims to outline the presence of a metaphysical perspective in Stanisław Barańczak’s poems which is already present in the poet’s earliest works.

Czytając Elegie Rainera Marii Rilkego

The article discusses the book Rycerz i śmierć written by Katarzyna Kuczyńska-Koschany. The book includes essays on Reiner Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies published earlier that have been revised and updated. The poem cycle called the Duino Elegies is composed of ten separate poems written in 1912, 1913, 1915 and 1922, i.e. at the peak period of the poet’s imagination and mental activity. The reviewer provides a detailed analysis the first four chapters of the book in which three elegies written before the outbreak of the first war, and the fourth that originated when the war was raging on, are presented. The reviewer appreciates the author’s careful preparation for the book and the ambitious agenda of the author to describe in a synthetic form, for the first time in Poland, the whole cycle of Rilke’s elegies with their Polish translations along with their quality evaluation and comparison taken into consideration, as well as some presentations of German interpretations from prominent specialists in the life and the literary output of Rilke. However, the reviewer is not ready to buy all of the author’s claims and points at numerous, perhaps too numerous, errors, distortions in facts and erroneous reading of the original texts written in German, which, to a high degree, lowers the perceived quality of the discussed book

Kompetencje poliglotyczne Adama Mickiewicza

This article aims to show multi-stage acquisition of linguistic competence by Adam Mickiewicz as a phenomenon of his era. It is also intended to bring closer political relations and cultural traditions of numerous environments, among which the poet stayed during his travels around multiple countries. It will also be important to show the usefulness of subsequent languages that our bard faced as an erudite and genius of the nineteenth century. Mastery of 11 foreign languages, apart from Polish as a mother tongue, including some used only for communication purposes, even at the basic level, can certainly raise admiration, also among posterity. In this respect, therefore, Adam Mickiewicz still appears to be an unsurpassed authority.Straipsnyje siekiama parodyti, kaip Adomas Mickevičius, epochos fenomenas, pamažu įgijo kalbinę kompetenciją. Straipsnio tikslas – pristatyti daugelio socialinių aplinkų, kuriose lankėsi poetas, keliaudamas po daugelį šalių, politinius santykius ir kultūrines tradicijas. Taip pat svarbus dalykas – parodyti vis kitų kalbų, kurias išmoko mūsų dainius, XIX amžiaus eruditas ir genijus, naudingumą. Tai, kad įvaldė vienuolika užsienio kalbų, neskaitant gimtosios lenkų kalbos, ir kai kurias vartojo, kad ir pagrindiniu lygmeniu, tik bendravimo tikslams, tikrai gali kelti susižavėjimą net būsimoms kartoms. Taigi šiuo požiūriu Adomas Mickevičius vis dar atsiskleidžia kaip nepralenkiamas autoritetas
