    Konopnickas Herr Balzer in Brasilien in Kontext des Poems von Słowacki

    No full text
    Auf Grund der weitverbreiteten Ansicht über eine Abhängigkeit − hinsichtlich des Aufbaus und des Stils − der Dichtung Maria Konopnickas Herr Balzer in Brasilien von Adam Mickiewicz’ Epos Herr Thaddäus untersucht der Verfasser das Vorbild für das Bauernepos Konopnickas in der epischen Dichtung Julius Słowackis. Die Dichterin selbst stellte in Briefen an die Familie und an Bekannte den Entwurf ihres Werkes unter Berufung auf die Poeme von Słowacki vor: Beniowski von der Werkstatt, „folgt im Ton fast dem Dantyschek in der Hölle”. Im Aufsatz werden auch die von Karel Krejčí angezeigten Verwandtschaften zwischen Herr Balzer in Brasilien und Słowackis Poemen: Die Reise ins Heilige Land von Neapel und Der Vater der Verpesteten bestätigt. Gleichfalls hat der von Alexander Brückner getroffene Hinweis auf die Vergleichbarkeit des vom Mystizismus umwehten Bauernepos Konopnickas mit der mystischen Epopöe Słowackis Der König-Geist die Suche nach den zwischen beiden Werken bestehenden Ähnlichkeiten ausgelöst. Das konsequent eingehaltene Prinzip der Subjektivität von Aussagen des Erzählers als Helden hat Balzers Glaubwürdigkeit in den auf romantische Dichtung stilisierten Partien abgeschwächt. Andere Ähnlichkeiten kommen zum Vorschein bei den poetischen Darstellungen der Brasilien- und der Mondhölle, bei der Schilderung der heimatlichen Natur und der dem Helden unbekannten neuen Landschaften (Ozean, Urwald). Motivische Übereinstimmungen sind erkennbar in der Verzweiflung der Eltern über den Tod ihrer Kinder im vom Zarismus unterdrückten Polen, im Quarantäne-Lager in der arabischen Wüste und auf den Emigrationswanderungen. Es gibt auch Identitäten beim Vergleich des metaphysischen Planes sowie in der epopöeischen Auffassung des Volkes in den Epen beider Dichter. Diese Gedanken- und Aufbaukonvergenzen von Herr Balzer in Brasilien und Słowackis Poemen zeugen von einem dauerhaften Verbleiben Maria Konopnickas im Banne der Dichtung des Autors von Beniowski

    Psychological and Psychophysiological Effects of a High-Mountain Expedition to Tibet

    No full text
    In March 1999 a team of 8 mountaineers (6 men and 2 women) climbed up the 6th highest mountain of the world: The Cho Oyo (8201 m), located in the high mountains of Tibet. During the expedition, we investigated the effects of high mountaineering on various psychological variables (e.g., anxiety) and psychophysiological variables (e.g. blood pressure, pulse, skin-resistance) as well as the ability to relax at different points of time (2 premeasures before, three measures during, and one post-measure immediate after the Expedition). Due to a long-term monitoring of the skin resistance, we can summarize that three different adaptation levels can be defined, that appear under increasing pressure: Inhibition of overload, unspecific hypersensibility and exhaustion. The results can show that a telemedical assessment is possible and necessary even under the circumstances of a highmountaineering expedition in order to determine and predict deficits in behaviour and health risks for individuals at high altitudes

    Oswald Balzer versus Theodor Mommsen – polityczne emocje z historią w tle. Nowa ocean sporu

    No full text
    There is a prominent tendency in the abundant literature concerning Th. Mommsen to portray him as an active, valued liberal politician of the second half of the 19th  century. In this context, relatively little is said about his appeal to the Sudeten Germans of 1897 who faced the socalled Badenischen Sprachenverordnungen. The letter of the German scholar, published in the Viennese press, included many violently unjust accusations, especially against the Czechs. In the storm of polemics and discussions unleashed by the text, the voice of the Polish historian of law, Oswald Balzer, was probably the loudest.  His open letter, defending the civilisational achievements of the Slavs, never received Mommsen’s response. Nonetheless, in the awareness of Poles and Czechs in particular the Berlin historian became their confirmed enemy. German science, making light of the event, puts it down to Mommsen’s unbridled political fervour, which made him speak out in public even in those matters of which he had little knowledge.  It admits, however, that the episode with pure nationalism looming in the background is a certain flaw on Mommsen’s idealized image of an ever valid role-model of a liberal politician. The view is admissible, although one may be surprised at the implied ignorance of Mommsen’s especially with regard to the Sudeten Germans, to whom the language laws introduced by Count Badeni’s government were to apply, and which he knew well from his native Schleswig.  As to the negligible knowledge Mommsen had of the Slavs, the views conveyed by Croatian Slavist  V. Jagić may be convincing to some extent, although it is worth remembering that Mommsen (a person perfectly conversant with the nuances of world politics!) needed no profound academic knowledge to formulate general (remote from scientific inquiry) views about the Czechs.   It is likely that when attacking Slavs, he drew upon the stereotypes which circulated at the time (he was not entirely independent in his opinions about Poles, remaining under the influence of M. Weber), supported by more readily definable personal views on the role of the Church and Catholicism, or the frontiers of the German state. Mommsen probably never formulated his convictions concerning Poles and the Polish issue of the turn of the 19th and 20th  centuries in a consistent, logical statement. In the Polish press before 1897 he had not been treated as a declared enemy of Polishness and even his adversary, Balzer emphasised Mommsen’s former objectivity. It appears it was theLvov law historian who lacked objectivity. His disputatious character, apparently combined with the a fairly unpleasant memory of studies inBerlin  (personal encounter with the demanding Mommsen) materialised in a polemic manifesto, in which, with a characteristic fluency, large dose of emotion and patriotic throes (although resorting to the standard historical argumentation of the time), the author drew a fairly unequivocal, anti-Polish image of Mommsen. This view persisted as long as 1918, although the admirers of Balzer’s views maintained it long after the death of both adversaries. There is a prominent tendency in the abundant literature concerning Th.
