Biedermeier as Classicism, Romanticism, and Realism: The Development of Polish Perspectives and Research on Biedermeier Art
No full textThe main subject of this article is the evolution of interest in and research on the Biedermeier art in Polish scholarly literature. It includes both statements on Biedermeier in the European context and those referring specifically to the situation on Polish territory. This study offers a broad juxtaposition of various definitions of the Biedermeier style across Polish publications, and traces the first usages of the term “Biedermeier” in Poland. It uses comparative analysis of particular texts on art, and thereby shows different lines of Polish research. It demonstrates certain methodological mistakes and internal contradictions that are sometimes to be found within the same text and explains the possible reasons for different interpretations of Biedermeier art. The overall aim of the study is to collate and bring structure to existing scholarship, which is scattered in publications on different branches of art, and in doing so, to provide the material for further research.

“Ireland of the East”? A Case of the Anticolonial Rhetoric in the Ukrainian National Movement (1870s–1923)
No full textThe article examines the emergence and use of the Irish example in the political rhetoric of the Ukrainian national movement. The author traces how prominent Ukrainian politicians and intellectuals understood and used the ideas of the Irish national liberation movement. Special attention is paid to the period from 1917 to 1923 when leaders used the Irish example in political and ideological arguments to illustrate Ukraine’s colonial status within the Russian Empire. The use of the Irish example is presented in the context of forming an argument about this colonial status, as well as the justice of their national struggle and demands for national and economic liberation. The author also emphasizes that the anticolonial rhetoric of the Ukrainian national movement was not explicit enough. Therefore, the reference to Ireland was an attempt to find a similar example of a national struggle against imperial domination. In addition, the Irish language example was identified with the status and development of the Ukrainian language as part of a resistance to assimilation policies and imperial restrictions on language and culture.
