Wiersze z podróży – w odnalezionym raptularzu Juliusza Słowackiego

A notebook found in the Moscow library from Juliusz Słowacki’s journey to the East (to Greece, Egypt, Holy Land, Syria and Lebanon; August 1836- June 1837)- allows to resume in-depth studies of the 75-page manuscript as a poetic-plastic notebook, a travel diary, a poetic raptularius. The notebook contains entries of different nature and content, but its structure generally coheres with the main stages of the journey (Greece, Egypt, Holy Land, the stay at a monastery in Lebanon). The subject of detailed analysis are selected poems taken from the notebook- genetically and thematically related to particular places within the journey. Reading the poems written in the notebook’s textual space and the journey’s geographical time and space allows for better understanding of the semantics of particular compositions, as well as more precisely define the time and space of writing the entries.* Artykuł powstał w ramach grantu Narodowego Centrum Nauki, nr rejestracyjny projektu 2014/15/B/HS2/01360.Odnaleziony w bibliotece moskiewskiej zeszyt z Juliusza Słowackiego na Wschód (do Grecji, Egiptu, Ziemi Świętej, Syrii i Libanu; sierpień 1836–czerwiec 1837) – pozwala na nowo podjąć kompleksowe badania 75-kartkowego rękopisu jako notatnika poetycko-plastycznego, dziennika podróży, poetyckiego raptularza. Notatnik zawiera wpisy o różnym charakterze i treści, ale jego struktura zasadniczo odpowiada głównym etapom podróży (Grecja, Egipt, Ziemia Święta, pobyt w klasztorze libańskim). Przedmiotem szczegółowej analizy są wpisane do zeszytu wybrane wiersze – genetycznie i tematycznie związane z określonymi miejscami podróży. Odczytywanie zapisów wierszy w tekstowej przestrzeni notatnika i w geograficznej czasoprzestrzeni podróży pozwala lepiej zrozumieć semantykę poszczególnych utworów, a także doprecyzować ustalenia na temat czasu i miejsca dokonywania wpisów przez poetę

The romantic attempts and collisions of Józef Korzeniowski Another analysis on the tragedy “Mnich” (The Monk)

The object of this analysis is a drama by J. Korzeniowski from his time in Krzemieniec: a tragedy called “Mnich – The Monk” (1826, published in 1830). The piece, which depicts the last days of the king Bolesław Śmiały, is distinguished by many references to earlier theatrical and dramatical traditions (from antiquity and classicism to Shakespeare and Schiller’s works), which characterizes the early period of Korzeniowski’s creation. The author of “The Monk” seeks a new formula for the historical-religious drama, combining the historicism and picturesqueness with some elements of the medieval mystery play and psychological conscience drama. The paper also deals with the ambiguous reception of Korzeniowski’s early works by the Romantic writers, the culmination of which was a prominent rejection of “The Monk” by Maurycy Mochnacki, a decision motivated with his ideological convictions

Mallarmé et Norwid (le silence et la modernité poétique en France et en Pologne)

Le sujet de la thèse Mallarmé et Norwid : le silence et la modernité poétique en France et en Pologne est tout à fait central pour étudier l évolution de la poésie à la fin du XIXe siècle. Il permet de mieux comprendre la rupture avec une tradition encore bien présente au XIXe siècle (poésie romantique et parnassienne) qui rattache la poésie à l ordre de la représentation et du discours. Il s agit à la fois de comprendre les transformations du langage poétique (le rythme et le son, la matière verbale deviennent plus importants que la signification au sens traditionnel du terme) et de mettre en relation cette transformation esthétique avec une crise des valeurs (religieuses en particulier) qui affecte aussi d autres arts, surtout la peinture. La thèse situe Mallarmé et Norwid dans un contexte littéraire et culturel pour mieux comprendre l orientation d une recherche poétique qui fonde un nouveau type de langage et programme un nouveau mode de lecture. Le silence ne conduit pas la poésie à sa fin mais il relève d une conception différente qui privilégie la matérialité et les relations internes entre les mots (d où un travail sur la syntaxe) plutôt que les relations des mots au référent (dans la perspective d une mimésis) et l organisation d un discours. Il faut aussi souligner la dimension comparative de la thèse qui aborde l œuvre d un poète Norwid relativement inconnu hors de la Pologne, même si sa poésie est visiblement liée à la poésie européenne du XIXe siècle et aux transformations philosophiques et esthétiques de la littérature post-romantique. Ainsi, pour la première fois dans la critique polonaise, Norwid reçoit-il un ample commentaire qui souligne plutôt la modernité de son écriture et non pas son engagement idéologique et social. Quant à Mallarmé, la thèse prouve que son projet poétique, sévèrement jugé par certains de ses contemporains, n est pas si éloigné de l évolution de la poésie européenne comme nous pouvions le supposerSubject of doctorat Mallarmé and Norwid: silence and poetics modernity in France and in Poland is key issue for researches relative to the poetry evolution under the end of 19 century. It takes to better understand breaching with the present tradition even in 19 century (Parnassian and romantic poetry), which related poetry to the order of representation as well as discourse. So, it is going for a better comprehending transformations of poetry language (rhythm, sound and words matter are much important than the meaning of traditional sense of this word) and relationship those aesthetical transformations with the crisis of value (especially religious values), which wraps also others arts, especially painting.The trial situated Mallarmé and Norwid in the literary and cultural context epoch, what takes better explain poetical researching, which destination is creating new poetry language as well as new type of lecture. So, silence is not the end of poetry, but it is rather related with its new conception, which makes important materialism of words as well as their internals relations (what s connected with a work under the syntax), but not theirs connects with designate (in the mimesis perspective) or discourse composition. We have to also emphasize the comparative aspect of the trial, in which centre was Norwid, rather unknowing beyond Poland s boards, whose creative is very close associated with European poetry of 19 century and with the philosophical and aesthetical transformations of post-romantic literature. In this way Norwid received, for first time in the Polish criticism, very spacious comment, which keeps attention especially for modernity of his style and not of his ideological or social commitment. If is going about Mallarmé, the trial has proved that the poetical project, harshly judged by some of his contemporary writers, was not so much distanced from transformations of European poetry how we can supposePARIS-EST Marne-la-Vallee-BU (774682101) / SudocSudocFranceF
