Rodzaje, interpretacje i funkcje mitu
No full textIn this article, the author analyses the phenomenon of myth—a significant element of culture—by presenting miscellaneous types of myths that have accompanied human beings from the dawn of time to the present, interpreting them from the point of view of (for example) philosophy or psychoanalysis, the functions of myths, and their ways of influencing human beings in the contemporary world. Myths are complex cultural phenomena, difficult to assess unambiguously. One of the main reasons is the fact that they are not only holy tales having some religious background; we can also talk about secular myths, for example in art or in sport. As far as our contemporary world—brazenly hi-tech and filled with the spirit of logos—is concerned, it is an interesting fact that myths do not surface but remain hidden, as it were; they are in many cases a subconscious way of seeing things. It depends on the individual whether he or she somehow notices those wisdoms existing somewhere under the mask of the world, industrialized and permeated by unemotional technology as it is. Without a shadow of a doubt, myths fulfil many important functions—they are a wonderful source of wisdom, teach people humility, and give hope and strength in difficult periods. Undoubtedly, they are not—as some people would probably prefer—mere relics of a distant past. The forms of myths may, however, evolve. Looking closely into this phenomenon, one can notice that myths may occur (in different realms of life) in somewhat changed, modernized forms. The author of this article has based his analysis on numerous works of a group of illustrious researchers who specialize in exploring the phenomenon of myth, e.g., among others: Bronisław Malinowski (a Polish anthropologist, one of the most important anthropologists of the 20th century), Mircea Eliade (a Romanian historian of religion, one of the leading interpreters of religious experience), and Sigmund Freud (an Austrian neurologist, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis).W niniejszym artykule autor dokonuje analizy mitu – niezwykle ważnego elementu kultury – prezentując rozmaite typy mitów towarzyszących człowiekowi od zarania dziejów aż do chwili obecnej, ich interpretacje z punktu widzenia np. filozofii czy psychoanalizy oraz funkcje mitów, ich oddziaływanie na człowieka we współczesnym świecie. Mit jest złożonym zjawiskiem kulturowym, trudnym w jednoznacznych ocenach. Nie jest to bowiem jedynie święta opowieść mająca tło religijne; możemy też mówić o mitach świeckich, np. w sztuce czy w sporcie. Jeśli chodzi o współczesny świat – przepełniony duchem „logos” – mity pozostają niejako w ukryciu, są często nieświadomym sposobem widzenia rzeczy. Od człowieka zależy, czy dostrzeże mądrości tkwiące gdzieś pod maską zindustrializowanego i przesiąkniętego beznamiętną techniką świata. Mit spełnia wiele pozytywnych funkcji – jest źródłem mądrości, uczy pokory, daje nadzieję i siłę. Z pewnością nie jest – jak chcieliby niektórzy – reliktem zamierzchłej przeszłości. Może jednak występować w nieco zmienionych, uwspółcześnionych formach. Autor analizuje liczne prace autorów badających mit, takich jak, między innymi: Bronisław Malinowski, Mircea Eliade czy Zygmunt Freud.
Mito rūšys, interpretacijos ir funkcijos Šiame straipsnyje analizuojamas mitas kaip itin svarbus kultūros elementas. Aptariami įvairūs mitų tipai, žinomi iki dabar, jų interpretacijos filosofijos, psichoanalizės požiūriu. Nagrinėjamos mitų funkcijos ir būdai, kuriais paveikiami šiuolaikiniai žmonės. Verta pažymėti, kad mitas yra nevienalytis kultūros reiškinys, kurį sudėtinga vertinti vienareikšmiškai. Viena iš pagrindinių priežasčių yra ta, kad mitas yra ne tik šventa pasaka, turinti religinį pagrindą. Mes apie jį galime kalbėti ir kaip apie pasaulietinį mitą, pavyzdžiui, mene ar sporte. Šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje gausu aukštųjų technologijų ir logotipų – tai susiję su mitu. Įdomu analizuoti, kaip ir kodėl mitai neišnyra į kultūros paviršių ir lieka tarsi nežinomi, nesikeičia. Daugeliu atvejų tai nesąmoningas būdas įžvelgti tam tikrus dalykus. Jis priklauso nuo žmogaus – ar žmogus kažkaip pastebi tą išmintį, glūdinčią po pasaulio kauke – pramoninėmis ir bejausmėmis technologijomis. Be abejo, mitas atlieka daug svarbių funkcijų – tai puikus išminties šaltinis, mokantis žmogų nuolankumo, suteikiantis vilties ir stiprybės sunkiais laikotarpiais. Tai nėra tik tolimos praeities reliktas. Mito forma gali kisti. Atidžiai išanalizavus šį reiškinį, galima pastebėti, kad įvairiose gyvenimo sferose mitai gali rastis šiek tiek pakitę, modernesnių formų. Šio straipsnio autoriaus analizė grindžiama daugybės žymių mokslininkų, tiriančių mito fenomeną, darbais: Bronisławo Malinowskio (šiuolaikinis lenkų antropologas), Mircea Eliade (rumunų religijos istorikas, vienas iš geriausių religinės patirties interpretuotojų), Sigmundas Freudas (Austrijos neurologas, psichoanalizės kūrėjas).REIKŠMINIAI ŽODŽIAI: mitas, mitologijos, religija, psichoanalizė
Spojrzeć w twarz Meduzie: Jerzy Grotowski wobec romantyzmu i mitu Fausta cz. 1. „Farsa-misterium”: Faust według J.W. Goethego, Teatr Polski, Poznań, 1960
No full textPrzedmiotem artykułu jest pierwsza z dwóch reinterpretacji mitu Fausta przez Jerzego Grotowskiego – inscenizacja Fausta według tekstu J.W. Goethego w Teatrze Polskim w Poznaniu w 1960, będąca próbą dialektycznej polemiki z romantyczną i metafizyczną wizją Goethego. Spektakl ukazuje wczesną estetykę reżysera, opisaną jako „farsa-misterium”, w której dominuje fascynacja rytuałem jako laicką formą doświadczenia religijnego. Mit Fausta jest w nim próbą konfrontacji reżysera z archetypem, którego celem jest uwolnienie energii duchowej widzów poza mitem i religią i odnowienie świadomości wspólnoty przez wzbudzenie grozy. Celem rozważań jest wykazanie, że historia Fausta ma dla Grotowskiego istotne znaczenie jako wcielenie mitu, poprzez które realizują się dążenia Grotowskiego do przełamania traumy śmierci i przekroczenia ograniczeń kondycji ludzkiej, typowe dla wrażliwości romantycznej.The subject of this paper is the first of the two re-interpretations of the myth of Faust by Jerzy Grotowski – the performance of Faust by J.W. Goethe in the Polish Theatre in Poznań (1960), in which Grotowski enters into polemics with Goethe’s romantic and metaphysical vision. The spectacle shows Grotowski’s early aesthetics called as “farce-mystery”, displaying his fascination with ritual as a performative secular alternative to religious experience. The myth of Faust shows his creative confrontation with the archetype, which aims to liberate the spiritual energy beyond religion and myth to renew the community’s sense of the sacred. The author sets out to prove that the story of Faust is of crucial significance to Grotowski as an incarnation of myth that helps him to cope with the trauma of death and go beyond the limits of human condition, which reveals his romantic sensibility.

Marceli Antoniewicz. Protoplaści książąt Radziwiłłów. Dzieje mitu i meandry historiografii : recenzija
No full textDarbe aptariama Marcelio Antonievičiaus (Marceli Antoniewicz) monografija „Protoplaści ksiąžąt Radziwillóv. Dzieje mitu i meandry historiografii“. Tai ne tik plati Radvilų kilmės aiškinimo įvairių laikų istoriografijose apžvalga, bet ir studija apie politinę Radvilų valdžią XVI a. pirmoje pusėje ir jų ankstyvąją genealogiją. Būtent šiai problemai ir yra skirtas didžiausias knygoje pirmasis skyrius „Mikalojaus Mikalojaičio Radvilos giminaičių ratas ir protėviai“. Antrajame monografijos skyriuje siekiama įvesti į pagrindinę tyrimo temą – Radvilų kilmės mito genezę. Autorius atkreipia dėmesį į itin menką Radvilų „atstovavimą“ Lietuvos metraščiuose. Trečioji knygos dalis parodo, kaip Radvilos buvo įtraukti į senąją Lietuvos istoriją ir kaip įgijo joje jų politinei padėčiai deramą vietą. Tuo pasirūpino su Radvilomis susiję žymūs XVI a. LDK autoriai Augustinas Rotundas ir Motiejus Stryjkovskis. Ketvirtame skyriuje nagrinėjami seniausi genealoginiai pasakojimai (medžiai), sukurti Radvilų aplinkoje: visų pirma Motiejaus Strubičiaus, Saliamono Risinskio ir Konrado Giotkės. Šie kūriniai liudija, kad Radvilų kilmės mitas dar nebuvo nusistovėjęs ir autoriai blaškėsi tarp įvairių senovės veikėjų, ieškodami tinkamo ir labiausiai tikėtino giminės pirmtako. Monografiją užbaigia XIX ir XX a. istoriografijai skirta dalis bei epilogas. Recenzijos autorius atskleidžia monografijos privalumus, paryškina kontraversinius ir diskusinius momentus, kartais pasitaikančias klaidas. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Giminių genealogija; Lietuvos Didžioji Kunigaikštystė (LDK; Grand Duchy of Lithuania; GDL); Lietuvos istorija; M.Antoniewicz; Radvilos (Radziwill; Radvila family); Radvilos (Radziwill; Radvila family); Radvilų kilmė; History of Lithuania; History of Radzivills family; M.Antoniewicz, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Families GenealogyThe study discusses the monograph “Protoplaści ksiąžąt Radziwillóv. Dzieje mitu i meandry historiografii” [The Progenitors of Dukes Radziwiłł. A History of the Myth and the Meanders of Historiography] by Marceli Antoniewicz. It is not only a wide overview of the explanation of the descent of the Radziwiłł family in various historiographies, but also a study about the political authority of Radziwiłł in the first half of the 16th c. and their early genealogy. The largest first chapter of the book “The relatives and progenitors of Mikołaj Radziwiłł” focuses mainly on this problem. The second chapter of the monograph aims to introduce the main theme of the research, i.e. the genesis of the myth of Radziwiłł descent. The author notes a particularly scarce “representation” of Radziwiłł in Lithuanian chronicles. The third part of the book shows how the Radziwiłł family was involved in the old history of Lithuania and acquired therein a place suitable for their political situation. Augustinas Rotundas and Motiejus Stryjkovskis, prominent authors of the 16th c. Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL), related to the Radziwiłł family, took care of this. The fourth chapter analyses the oldest genealogical stories (family trees) created in the Radziwiłł environment: first of all, by Motiejus Strubičius, Saliamonas Risinskis and Konradas Giotkė. These works testify that the myth of Radziwiłł descent had not yet been established, and the authors lurched among different figures of the past searching for a suitable and most likely progenitor of the family. The monograph finishes with a part focused on the 19th c. and 20th c. historiography and the epilogue. The author of the review reveals the advantages of the monograph, highlights controversial and debatable moments, and occasional mistakes
AN OVERVIEW OF MAJOR SOURCES OF DATA AND ANALYSES RELATING TO PHYSICAL FUNDAMENTALS IN INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY MARKETS
No full textThe debate on whether price movements in commodity markets are determined by changes in physical supply and demand fundamentals or by the speculative effects of financial investors seems to find some element of agreement on one particular point: the need for increased transparency and improved information on futures markets and physical commodity markets. This discussion paper provides an assessment of the current situation with regard to availability of information on physical commodity markets, pointing to some of the existing information gaps and areas for improvement. The paper presents a comprehensive account of the different information sources for physical commodity markets (including their websites), and could therefore be considered a practical information tool in itself, of use to different stakeholders interested in knowing about developments in these markets.
Prezydentura George’a W. Busha. Koniec amerykańskiego mitu
No full textTHE ARTICLE IS a proof to make an account of this administration. From the point of view of the author, ex-president Bush jr. will be described as the worst president in the entire history of the United States of America. He carries the personal responsibility for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the huge civil victims in these countries. Under the administration of Bush all the principles of international law were broken in order to promote American hegemony everywhere in the World. Current financial crisis is only one of the consequences and evidence that the USA in the times of Bush presidency has lost his credibility. The using of tortures and maintaining such camps like Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib discredited the founding myth of the USA about freedom and democracy. The Author is visible astonished that political class in Poland agreed on installation of the so called military shield on the territory of Poland. Its proves how irresponsible and dangerous decisions can be made by Polish government. The new hope for America and the World is a new American president Barack Obama. Many people all over the world would like to believe in his promised change though the author remains skeptical to such expectations
Analiza genezy mitu zła w kulturze chińskiej
No full textAuthor concentrate on three aspects - ritual symbolism in Chinese tradition, the image of the first man in Chinese mythology and phenomenon of evil in Chinese culture. This text becomes theory not about mythological system of the ancient history of China, but it makes an attempt to discover a matter fact of Chinese myths. Author signals in his dispute example of mythological system of China, but only for one reason. He wants to show - how myths has including as idea of the universe and how myths were interpreted by metaphors. The mythological system was used as classification, and also for understanding way in dynamic progress. In our day, it seems - author confirm, that in the age of myths didn't exist division between Man and Gods. Gods existed more as an imagination of the forces of nature, than human figures. People who give us the essence of the myth, they didn't believed in myths and also they tried made them reasonable for the rest. In the meantime philosophers like agnostics have made such speculation, that Chinese myths contain with reunion past of China. Author join agnostics, but the more important aspect for him is understanding Chinese culture as being conscious of one's own being. The Main essential issue in this text treat, that it is not possible put all history from Roman or Latin cultures with their own drama of heroes to Chinese mythology. Chinaman doesn't know, that life is a tragedy, the low is a justice and sin as incidental haughtiness. Instead for sure they know about heaven mandate - Tian ming - only in the meaning way called predestination. Ritual symbolism had influenced Chinese tradition. Myths symbolism from the beginning shows how myths talk to the man and for the man. Levi Strauss gives interesting solution - he provides, that most people thinks are illogical, but this is positive argument and reason why we could knowing better culture - but only through analogy. The second part of the essay shows understanding concept of the evil. Konior thinks that this kind of idea should be going to tradition direct. The processing of mould conception the devil manifested in way full of destruction power, which is located inside us and behind us. The Evil structures are common for every man in the individual level and society. The Process of the modification depends on individual experience and society experience, it shows in different kind of symbols and signs. The last conclusion confirmed - civilization of China categorized as social civilization.Miłosz Markiewic
