Secular Shakespeare: Robert Green Ingersoll in the Context of American Bardolatry
No full textAs American Literature began to depart from European models in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Shakespeare came to be venerated with increasing enthusiasm, and was often regarded in quasi-religious terms, even as other British writers fell out of favor. This “Bardolatry” culminated in the late nineteenth century with the critical and appreciative writings of Robert Green Ingersoll, who was both the most prolific writer on Shakespeare and the most celebrated atheist and secularist of his age. Ingersoll’s appropriation of Shakespeare, as both a sceptic whose political and religious opinions reflected his own and an object of religious veneration to resemble and challenge the figure of Christ, exercised a strong influence on later writers, both popular and academic. This influence shaped the way in which Shakespeare is now widely regarded in America as the one indispensable secular writer and the center of a world canon

Dlaczego w czasach jagiellońskich zanika w Polsce pieczęć majestatyczna?
No full textThe article aims to introduce a new voice in the study of the disappearance of the majestic seal in the Polish sphragistic system in the second half of the fifteenth century. In researching this issue, the author places the symbolic meaning of the majestic seal and its use against the background of the political changes in the Poland of the Late Middle Ages and the visual representation of the kings of Poland and the royal rituals at the turn of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. According to the author, the disappearance of the Polish majestic seal was the result of the crisis and dispersion of royal majesty as a result of the final extinction of the Piast dynasty at the end of the fourteenth century.The article aims to introduce a new voice in the study of the disappearance of the majestic seal in the Polish sphragistic system in the second half of the fifteenth century.

From Having Sympathy to Showing Empathy for the Demented: A Narratological Study of the Perspectives of Characters with Dementia in Away from Her, Still Alice, and The Father
No full textThe present study discusses the challenge of choosing an appropriate narrative structure for representing the unreliable perspective of characters with dementia in cinematic adaptations. The argument is that the chosen frameworks and techniques should create sympathy and empathy in readers/audience, and the ideal empathetic adaptation should choose narratological frameworks with the lowest level of coherence, narrative distancing and external focalization. As prototypical examples, the study focuses on the cinematic adaptations of three literary texts which treat dementia as their main thematic concern: Away from Her (2007), Still Alice (2014), and The Father (2021). The study employs critical categories and conceptualizations proposed by Per Krogh Hansen regarding unreliable perspectives, as well as the critical views of Gulce Torun, the latter of whom domesticates Endel Tulving’s mnemonic functions of episodic memory in her narratological discussions regarding the rapport between unreliable perspectives and memory. The analysis identifies features of intranarrational, internarrational, and extratextual unreliability as well as corresponding features of semantic, episodic, archival, and constructivist memory in the adaptations
