Rezeptionsästhetische Verwandlung der Märchen von Hans Christian Andersen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert in Polen

The paper describes the process of a literary work’s perception from the perspective of transformations made in Polish translations of H.C. Andersens’s work. The author presents the historical perspective of translating Andersen into Polish in the 19th and 20th century and, based on selected examples, analyzes such essential issues within the realm of artistic translation as translation policy/publishing policy as well as the translator’s culture-formative role and tasks. The analyzed issues also include recent and older translations, the culture of translation and, last but not least, the role of translational and literary criticism in the reception process

DNA profiling of unidentified human remains in the South African context: an ethico-legal analysis

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Medicine in Bioethics and Health Law Johannesburg, December 2016Due to the inherent sensitive character of human genetic material, when employing DNA-based methodology in identification of human remains, clear ethical guidelines and well implemented law are necessary. With this in focus, the study determines and validates a set of morally justifiable ethical standards drawn from universal principles and human rights which rest on the value of respect of human dignity. In South Africa, The Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Act was commenced in 2015. While the terms of the Act mainly deal with the establishment and functioning of the National Forensic DNA Database of South Africa for the purposes of criminal justice, it also provides for the identification of missing persons and unidentified human remains. To be fully compliant with ethical standards and human rights, few areas of the Act needing attention and improvement during a further implementation process are highlighted. This study concludes with several recommendations to promote meeting the recognised ethical standards by the local DNA-based programme of identification of human remains.MT201

The grammar of philosophical discourse

In this paper, a formal theory is presented that describes syntactic and semantic mechanisms of philosophical discourses. They are treated as peculiar language systems possessing deep derivational structures called architectonic forms of philosophical systems, encoded in philosophical mind. Architectonic forms are constituents of more complex structures called architectonic spaces of philosophy. They are understood as formal and algorithmic representations of various philosophical traditions. The formal derivational machinery of a given space determines its class of all possible architectonic forms. Some of them stand under factual historical philosophical systems and they organize processes of doing philosophy within these systems. Many architectonic forms have never been realized in the history of philosophy. The presented theory may be interpreted as falling under Hegel’s paradigm of comprehending cultural texts. This paradigm is enriched and inspired with Propp’s formal, morphological view on texts. The peculiarity of this modification of the Hegel-Propp paradigm consists of the use of algebraic and algorithmic tools of modeling processes of cultural development. To speak metaphorically, the theory is an attempt at the mathematical and logical history of philosophy inspired by the Internet metaphor. And that is why it belongs to the tradition of doing metaphilosophy in The Lvov-Warsaw School, which is continued today mainly by Woleński, Pelc, Perzanowski, and Jadacki

En Litterær Biografi og Narrative Identitetsbilleder Dorrit Willumsens Roman Marie. Madame Tussauds LIV

The article focuses on the narrative construction of identity in the biographical novel about the life of Madame Tussaud written by the Danish author Dorrit Willumsen. A specific biographical narration technique of Willumsen is the starting point for discussing two interweaving layers of biographical discourse: the historical literary biography and the internal biography (lifeline as a story). Willumsen`s open dialogue of images and words shapes the narration to cross the frame of the principal character`s historical time and places Willumsen`s novel in the European context of narrative literature on artistic images of identity

Tragizm Eoliona

"Dramat Samuel Zborowski to tekst wzbudzający od lat liczne wątpliwości i zdumienie komentatorów. Juliusz Kleiner nazwał go Sfinksem, mając na myśli przede wszystkim problemy związane z ustaleniem tekstu utworu. Również kwestia tragizmu w Samuelu Zborowskim, a także w innych dramatach mistycznych Słowackiego, pozostaje w świetle badań nadal sprawą otwartą. (...)" (fragm.

Próba formalizacji pojęcia noematu

Głównym celem pracy jest przedstawienie formalnej koncepcji noematów. W pierwszej części, trzy nieformalne koncepcje noematów są poddane analizie. Celem tej części jest wyszczególnienie głównych kontrowersji dotyczących różnych sposobów rozumienia noematu. W drugiej części są zaprezentowane podstawowe założenia dotyczące noematów, które wyznaczają sposób formalizacji tego pojęcia. W pozostałych częściach formułuje się definicje noematów oraz innych fundamentalnych pojęć fenomenologicznych. Ponadto, naszkicowane są możliwości dalszego rozwijania proponowanej formalnej koncepcji
