No full textWolfgang Templin (born in 1948) was active in the democratic resistance in the former GDR. He co‑founded the party Bündnis 90 in reunified Germany and was writer and author of history books. In the conversation with Marek Zybura (born in 1957) —the Chair of History of Literature and Culture of Germany in the Willy Brandt Centre of German and European Studies at the University of Wroclaw—Templin discusses the origins of his Piłsudski biography (2022), which is being published in the Polish translation by Bellona in Warsaw
Opening sentences in Marek Krajewski’s novels
No full textOpening sentences raise a lot of interest of both linguists and common Polish speakers. It is evident from numerous websites in which Internet users share their observations on the best opening sentences of books (most often novels), as well as theoretical papers and writing guides. The analysis of opening sentences of ten novels by Marek Krajewski (co-author of two of them being Mariusz Czubaj) is to provide an answer to the question to what extent the utterance opening of the texts of the Wroc³aw-based prose writer fulfill the requirements to be met by such type of constructions. It turns out that most crucial are syntactic and semantic features rather than lexical ones. The clash between theoretical assumptions and the M. Krajewski’s writing practice shows that opening sentences of his novels not always fall into classical determinants of incipient formulas. It also illustrates the thesis that a skillful writer does not need to cling to theoretical assumptions to create good opening sentences and novels translated into nearly twenty languages

O Słowackim ponowocześnie [rec. Marek Troszyński: Słowacki. Poza kanonem. Gdańsk: Wydawnictwo Słowo/ Obraz Terytoria, 2014, ss. 411, nlb. 5, il. 65.]
No full textThe title of Marek Troszyński’s book Słowacki. Poza kanonem is excellent from the perspective of marketing, but at the same time, it succeeds in conveying thecontent of the 11 chapters of different length, supplemented with 8 interesting appendices and 65 aptly selected and described illustrations. In a way, it has a character of sylwa; its previous versions (published in refereed magazines and collective monographs) became considerably re‑edited in order to achieve the result in the form of monography. I accept the opening form of this dissertation, which is proposed by the author, as well as his affirmative attitude to the poet’s quasi‑literary achievements, which makes the author “a friendly witness” of Słowacki’s biography and writing. The work is undoubtedly original, own, exceptional and quite unique. I do not expect that in the foreseeable future we will encounter any gifted follower of the method, inquisitiveness, a highly interesting narration, and at the same time a lucky discoverer of so many philological findings, offering such a great number of the conjectures of the poems, not necessarily canonical ones, however, coming after the “canonical”, because critical, edition of Juliusz Kleiner.

Remote work in Škoda Auto a.s. before, during, and after COVID
No full textThe diploma thesis focuses on the environment of Škoda Auto a.s. in Mladá Boleslav, which is the largest automobile manufacturer in the Czech Republic and one of the oldest car companies globally. It is also one of the largest employers in our country, with additional production facilities in India, China, and Kazakhstan. The primary goal of this thesis is to determine the optimal number of remote workdays within the company’s IT department. Initially, remote work was introduced minimally, only for a few days per month. However, unexpectedly, it gradually became the norm for all working days in a month during the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, in 2024, with COVID-19 no longer dominating media headlines, some companies are returning to requiring physical presence at workplaces, including Škoda Auto a.s. Yet, a significant number of employees have embraced remote work as an IT industry standard and are reluctant to return to office-based workspaces. In the first part of the thesis, an analysis of remote work within the company is presented, spanning from its inception to the present day. Furthermore, attention is given to the suitability of remote work in relation to the nature of employees’ job responsibilities, the personality traits of employees working remotely, the tools used to facilitate remote work, tools for tracking work performance, and how employers can support their remote workforce. The document also covers trends and experiences related to remote work during the COVID pandemic, as reported worldwide. In the subsequent section of the thesis, a questionnaire survey is conducted among employees in the IT department of the company. The aim is to establish correlations between individual survey questions. From the posed questions, it is also possible to infer how employees have improved their home workspaces or whether they have sufficient tranquillity at home to carry out their job responsibilities. All collected information is analysed, leading to conclusions that guide recommendations for effective remote work settings within the company, ensuring competitiveness in the job market.Diplomová práce se soustřeďuje na prostředí mladoboleslavské společnosti Škoda Auto a.s., jež je největším výrobcem automobilů v České republice a zároveň jednou z nejstarších automobilek na světě. Také se jedná o jednoho z největších zaměstnavatelů u nás s další výrobou automobilů v zahraničních závodech v Indii, Číně a Kazachstánu. Hlavním cílem této práce je najít optimální počet dnů práce na dálku v IT oddělení společnosti. Před příchodem onemocnění COVID-19 na začátku roku 2020 byla zavedena okrajově v počtu několika dní v měsíci. S příchodem COVID-19 se z jejího minimálního zavedení z ničeho nic stalo nařízení a došlo k jejímu aplikování až v počtu všech pracovních dní v měsíci. Nyní v roce 2024, kdy už COVID-19 není hlavním tématem médií a celé české populace, se některé společnosti vrací k vyžadovaní fyzické přítomnosti na pracovištích včetně Škoda Auto a.s. a zároveň velké množství zaměstnanců začalo brát práci na dálku jako standard ve světě IT a zpět do kanceláří se nechtějí vracet nechtějí. V první části práce je uvedena analýza práce na dálku ve společnosti od dob, kdy se začala zavádět až po současnost. Dále je věnována problematice vhodnosti práce na dálku ve vztahu k povaze pracovní náplně zaměstnance, osobnostním vlastnostem zaměstnance pracujícího vzdáleně, používaným nástrojům umožňujícím vzdálenou práci, nástrojům pro evidenci vykonané práce, ale také tomu, jak zaměstnavatelé mohou podpořit své zaměstnance v práci na dálku. Také jsou zde uvedeny trendy a zkušenosti s prací na dálku během COVIDu publikované ve světě. V další části se práce věnuje dotazníkovému šetření mezi zaměstnanci IT oblasti ve společnosti a vyvozováním souvislostí mezi jednotlivými otázkami. Z položených otázek je taktéž možno vyvodit, jak zaměstnanci vylepšili svá domácí pracoviště nebo zda mají doma dostatek klidu na vykonávání své pracovní náplně. Všechny nasbírané informace jsou zanalyzovány a jsou z nich vyvozeny závěry, které vedou na doporučení správného nastavení práce na dálku ve společnosti, aby zůstala konkurenceschopná na trhu práce
Adam Mickiewicz − The Presumed Reader of Słowacki’s Drama “Ksiądz Marek” [“Father Marek”]
No full textArtykuł koncentruje się na problematyce koncepcji estetycznych i ich twórczych realizacji w latach czterdziestych XIX wieku, po tzw. przełomie towianistycznym, w dramatach autora Balladyny. Z tej perspektywy intrygująca wydaje się figura Mickiewicza − domniemanego odbiorcy późnej twórczości Słowackiego, w tym dramatu pt. Ksiądz Marek, uznawanego za najbardziej towianistyczne dzieło poety. Wychodząc od próby odtworzenia domniemanej lektury tekstu Słowackiego przez Mickiewicza, ponawiam w tekście pytanie o milczenie profesora w Collège de France na temat twórczości Słowackiego − zwłaszcza tej późnej, z lat czterdziestych, która powinna być bliska Mickiewiczowi. Zadaję je w kontekście intrygującego faktu przemilczenia przez autora Dziadów własnej twórczości w prelekcjach paryskich.The article focuses on the issues of aesthetic concepts and their creative realisations in the forties, after the so-called Towian breakthrough, in the dramas of the author of Balladyna [Balladyna]. From this perspective, the figure of Mickiewicz seems to be intriguing − he appears as a supposed recipient of Słowacki’s late work, including the drama “Ksiądz Marek” [“Father Marek”], which is considered to be the work most influenced by Towianist ideas. Starting from attempts to reconstruct the alleged reading of Słowacki’s text by Mickiewicz, I repeat the question about the professor’s silence at the Collège de France about the work of Słowacki − especially that written in the late forties, which should be well-known to Mickiewicz. I ask this question in the context of an intriguing fact of Mickiewicz’s silence about his own work during his Paris lectures
The Mimicry of Juliusz Słowacki's Father Marek
No full textThis paper seeks to consider the issue of mimicry in Juliusz Słowacki's drama Father Marek. The semantics of the theatrical sign has been interpreted on the basis of theoretical, theatrical, and theological studies. The author analyses the mimicry of figures as a visual sign of their space and internal states. She turns our attention to the importance of mimicry in the stage rendering of mystical experiences, the role of metaphor and relations in the creation of that theatrical sign
