A holographic model of reminiscence in the poetry of CzesĆaw MiĆosz
For a model of nostalgic memory in the poetry of CzesĆaw MiĆosz, based on the psychological
phenomenon of reminiscence, an allegoric counterpart can be identified in the hologram metaphor
(Douwe Draaisma). The question: âWho am Iâ â reappears in MiĆoszâs late lyrical poetry
when he ponders over both his biography and the biographies of others. The response is provided,
for instance, in the concept of human dialectic biography (of subject and object), formulated
by Paul Ricoeur in his philosophical analyses. Human memory remains equally dialectic,
placed in the antinomy between memory and oblivion. Still, retrieving a detail which has been
remembered evokes all experience along with its rich context. That is the holographic effect,
described in literature as the âghost imageâ. Also in poetry, the effacing of memory trace does not
make a barrier for the restitution of recollection. âThe Sun of Memoryâ beams through the lyric of
the author of the collection of poems âThisâ
Z Kresów do Poznania. Mikrohistoria Waldemara ƻyszkiewicza
The article focuses on a description of political events in the 20th century Poland which were reflected in the poetry of Waldemar Ć»yszkiewicz. An important topic is a migration of the Polish over the period 1944-1947. His poetry, though conforms to the discourse of nostalgia, does not evoke the images of the lost Lvov. Poems raise the theme of settling down by deportees from Kresy Wschodnie (Eastern borderlands) in Poznan, an area were German culture was cultivated. The theoretical inspiration for the article was provided above all by two monographs by Beata Halicka âPolski Dziki ZachĂłdâ (âThe Polish Wild Westâ, 2016) and by Ewa DomaĆska âMikrohistorieâ (Microstories, 1999).ArtykuĆ przynosi omĂłwienie wydarzeĆ politycznych w Polsce w XX wieku zarejestrowane w poezji Waldemara Ć»yszkiewicza.

Colours of poetry (based on Konstanty Ildefons GaĆczyĆskiâs lyric poetry)
The article presents the category of colour in modern Polish poetry, and based on an interpretation of Ewa GĂłreckaâs book, Konstatnego Ildefonsa GaĆczyĆskiego gry barwÄ

i kulturÄ
[Colours as Konstanty Ildefons GaĆczyĆskiâs Play with Imagination and Culture]. The colour palette in GaĆczyĆskiâs poetry includes golden, silver, green, blue, red and black. Culture was an inspiration for the poet, but he didnât avoid entering into dialogue with it, establishing the meanings of colours in his writing. The colours present in GaĆczyĆskiâs lyric poetry also indicate the changes in his poetic language. The way in which the poet uses them in his early works differs from their use in those created after 1945
Traumatyczna pamiÄÄ WacĆawa Iwaniuka
Although the term âtraumaâ has recently been a bit abused, it is very well justified with regard to the poetry of WacĆaw Iwaniuk. Literary transformation of the biography of the author of âThe Mirrorâ (World War II soldier serving on the front, prisoner of war and liberator of concentration camps in Germany) is realised within the âautobiographic spaceâ of Ph. Lejeune. The war trauma is revealed in Iwaniukâs literary output in the flashes of memory. Persistent reappearance of war scenes has been conveyed by the poet in a series of oneiric images. The metaphor of âa woundâ (P. Ricoeur, R. Nycz) refers also to the post-war experience of a political exile. WacĆaw Iwaniuk lived outside Poland since 1939 and in 1948 he settled in Canada where he stayed till his death in 2001.Although the term âtraumaâ has recently been a bit abused, it is very well justified with regard to the poetry of WacĆaw Iwaniuk.

Nadzieja w dyskursie afektywnym CzesĆawa MiĆosza
The work aims to discuss the relationship between the vision of hope in CzesĆaw MiĆoszâs writing and the need for man to find meaning. The author realizes the theme based on the novel The Issa valley by the Polish Nobel Prize winner. The basic context in this sketch is the logotherapy project of Emanuel V. Frankl, professor of psychiatry and author of the bestseller Man in search of meaning. But another work by Frankl will be recalled here: The will of meaning, because in it the author included the assumptions of logotherapy. Other contexts introduced into this sketch are the cultural theory of emotions (Richard A. Shweder) and elements of the concept of subject (Michel Foucault). According to MiĆosz â which results from the analysis of his novels â hope is necessary to find the meaning of existence. There is also an inverse relationship: the lack of hope has as its result a sense of meaningless existence, which can lead the hero of the novel to suicide. For MiĆosz, finding the meaning of life, as well as not finding it, is a kind of mystery to which literature can make an approach. At the same time, literature can be something of a medium of meaning.The work aims to discuss the relationship between the vision of hope in CzesĆaw MiĆoszâs writing and the need for man to find meaning.
