Profesor Jerzy Zdzisław Holzer (1930-2001)
No full textProf. Jerzy Zdzisław Holzer, through his studies and academic career, was linked with the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) for more than 50 years. He worked at SGH from September 1950, when he became a junior assistant at the Faculty of Statistics, until his sudden death on Sept. 29, 2001. The author presents the professor’s biography and scientific achievements, both at home and abroad, and his contribution to the academic community, including his work as director of the Institute of Statistics and Demography in 1978-1999. Prof. Holzer set up a team of demographers and prepared them for work on the international arena. Managing demographic research in Poland and establishing ties with international researchers, Prof. Holzer contributed to the development of Polish demography and its international acclaim. The article sheds new light on the life of this internationally-renowned scholar, showing him as a wonderful man loved and admired by his students, colleagues and friends. These warm feelings climaxed after the professor’s death. In a series of recollections published in a special issue of Studia Demograficzne (No. 2/140 of 2001), Holzer is portrayed as a “humanist sensu largo,” as Prof. J. Tazbir put it. He was a man of extensive scientific interests, profound knowledge and wisdom, concerned about the common good, well-wishing and showing respect for everyone around him. These accounts yield the image of a steadfast man of indomitable spirit, faithful to his value system and principles. His reliability and responsible treatment of his duties met with general appreciation and admiration. He always set high requirements not only for others but first of all for himself. As a result, whatever he turned his hand to was remarkably proficient. Statements by various people from both the Polish and European demographic communities-representing different disciplines of the professor’s endeavor-add up to a surprisingly uniform image of Prof. Holzer as a truly exceptional figure

The (Post-)Communist Orient: History, Self-Orientalization and Subversion by Michał Witkowski and Vladimir Sorokin
No full textThis article analyses two literary texts: Barbara Radziwiłłówna z Jaworzna-Szczakowej by the Polish author Michał Witkowski (2007) and Sakharnyi
Kreml’ by the Russian author Vladimir Sorokin (2008) in the context of postcolonial studies. I treat the terms coined by post-colonial critique, such as orientalism,
orientalization, subversion or mimicry as not only ideological categories, but also
as aesthetic and narrative ones. These tools turn out to be useful in the interpretation of both these texts which, despite the differences between them, may be read
as examples of post-dependence narration, which articulate issues in connection
with identity-related problems of modern Polish and Russian cultures. Both
Witkowski and Sorokin subversively employ auto- and heterostereotypes and
avail themselves of the strategy of self-orientalization, which enables the play on
foreign notions regarding, respectively, Polish and Russian culture and collective
identity. The novel by Michał Witkowski ironically, perversely addresses national
complexes associated with the systemic transformation of 1989 and takes the
floor in the discussion on post-communism. In turn, Sakharnyi Kreml’ by Vladimir
Sorokin is an example of a futuristic dystopia, in which criticism of Putin’s Russia
commingles with reflections on the non-autonomous and non-independent status
of own culture which, in the year 2028, continues to reproduce foreign discourses
and finds it difficult to articulate its own position

Jak uprawiać humanistykę? W stronę polityki wrażliwości
No full textThe paper reports from the author’s perspective the debate on the book by M.P. Markowski Polityka wrażliwości. Wprowadzenie do humanistyki (Kraków: Universitas, 2013). This debate was organized within the Framework of the Conrad Festival in Cracow in 2013, and the participants were the following professors: Michał Paweł Markowski as the author of the book himself, Ryszard Nycz as the moderator of discussion, Agata Bielik-Robson, Krzysztof Kłosiński and Lech Witkowski, together with Grzegorz Jankowicz represen ing the journal „Tygodnik Powszechny”. The key question for the debate was linked with the issue whether and in what a way one can defend the value of humanities in their contrast with the scientific rigour on one side, and the neoliberal afirmation of equivalence of banality on the other.

Ideologia a popkultura) by Przemysław Witkowski has been considered by Przemysław Czapliński as ‘the monograph’ of pop culture created in the last thirty years. In his essay, Witkowski has made several attempts to reveal how the neoliberal and nationalistic ideologies are related to the popular or mass movies, TV series and shows, music, books, and other pop cultural phenomena. This article is a review of Hail to the Supermen… The author reconstructs the main assumptions and points out some of the most noticeable simplifications and general problems with the book.Hail to the Supermen: Ideology and Pop Culture (Chwała supermanom.

Późne spotkanie: Znaniecki, Witkowski i nauki o zarządzaniu. Organizatorska refleksja na temat pewnego fragmentu Uroszczeń i transaktualności w humanistyce Lecha Witkowskiego
No full textAbstract: The author of the article discusses the importance of the reinterpretation of Florian Znaniecki\u27s thought, which is carried out by Lech Witkowski in his monograph Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce, for management studies. The article focuses on the thesis – extracted from Znaniecki\u27s writings by Witkowski- about “the rationalization demands”. It describes the situation when rationalization transferred from one area to another, causes chaos and suppresses creativity. According to the author of the article, this thesis by Witkowski-Znaniecki can significantly help in the development of humanistic management (this stream of management, created in the early 2000s as a reaction to the hegemony of business corporations that do not care about employees and the environment while weakening the role of the state, is briefly presented in the text). On the one hand, the Witkowski – Znaniecki’ thesis raises awareness of the phenomena of “mathiness” and “lost in mathematics” in management. On the other, it shows the need and possibilities for scholars of humanistic management to undertake legitimate reflection on the epistemological contexts of combining management with the humanities.W artykule omówiono znaczenie reinterpretacji myśli Floriana Znanieckiego, której dokonuje Lech Witkowski na kartach swojej monografii Uroszczenia i transaktualności w humanistyce, dla studiów nad zarządzaniem. Skoncentrowano się na tezie – zaczerpniętej przez Witkowskiego z pism Znanieckiego– o „roszczeniach racjonalizacji”. Teza ta opisuje stan, w którym racjonalizacja przeniesiona z jednego obszaru poznania do drugiego wywołuje chaos i tłumi kreatywność. Zdaniem autora artykułu wspomniana teza może znacząco pomóc w rozwoju zarządzania humanistycznego (ten nurt zarządzania – powstały w pierwszych latach XXI wieku jako reakcja na hegemonię korporacji biznesowych, które nie dbają o pracowników i środowisko, jednocześnie osłabiając rolę państwa – jest krótko przedstawiony w tekście). Z jednej strony teza Witkowskiego/Znanieckiego uwrażliwia na zjawiska mathiness i „zagubienia w matematyce” odniesione do zarządzania, z drugiej zaś wskazuje na potrzebę i możliwości podjęcia przez przedstawicieli zarządzania humanistycznego pogłębionej refleksji nad kontekstami epistemologicznymi łączenia zarządzania z humanistyką

„Sie ist eine Zicke, ich liebe sie”. Jelinek nach Witkowski – zwischen Interpretation und Überinterpretation
No full textElfriede Jelinek to ważna i znana autorka w Polsce, ikona dla wielu pisarzy i pisarek, które odczytują i interpretują jej twórczość na własnych zasadach, co prowadzi do licznych refrakcji. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przyjrzenia się, jak Michał Witkowski (rocznik 1975) odczytuje teksty noblistki i wykorzystuje jej image w swej twórczości literackiej, wywiadach i nowych mediach (portalach społecznościowych itp.). Szczególnie w powieści Zbrodniarz i dziewczyna pisarz poświęca wiele uwagi symbolowi/ikonie Elfriede Jelinek, a nie jej działalności twórczej. Działalność artystyczna i pozaartystyczna Witkowskiego stanowi przykład interesującego trybutu literackiego i rodzaj niedoczytania (misreading).Elfriede Jelinek is a well-known author in Poland, she is an icon for many polish male and female writers, who read and interpretate her books in their own ways, with many refractions. This paper is a case study about how Michał Witkowski a young polish writer (1975) reads her books and uses her image in his literary works, interviews and new media. Especially in his novel Zbrodniarz i dziewczyna [A criminal and a girl] he is interested in a symbol/icon Elfriede Jelinek, not really in her writings. His work is an interesting literary tribute and an example of misreading.Elfriede Jelinek fungiert in Polen als eine wichtige und berühmte Autorin, eine Ikone für viele SchriftstellerInnen, die ihre Texte auf eine eigentümliche Art und Weise lesen und interpretieren, was zu vielen Refraktionen führt. Insbesondere Michał Witkowski (Jahrgang 1975) beruft sich auf Jelineks Schaffen und ihr Image, sowohl in seinem literarischen Schaffen, als auch in zahlreichen Interviews und in neuen Medien. Sein Roman Zbrodniarz i dziewczyna [Der Verbrecher und das Mädchen] ist ein Paradebeispiel für seine Strategien: im Mittelpunkt steht das Symbol Elfriede Jelinek und nicht ihr literarisches Schaffen. Witkowskis Herangehensweise ist eine interessante literarische Hommage und eine Art misreading zugleich
