The picture of God in Faraon by Bolesław Prus. Some chosen aspects of the linguistic analysis
No full textW artykule starano się omówić Prusowską wizję religii, zwłaszcza Boga, zawartą w powieści
o starożytnym Egipcie. Tekst składa się z dwóch zasadniczych części: 1) „Geneza Faraona”, 2) „Religie
w Faraonie. Jednowyrazowe określenia Boga/bóstw”. Autorka przybliża czytelnikowi przede
wszystkim zawartość semantyczno-stylistyczną leksemu Bóg/bóg, uwarunkowaną rzeczywistością
historyczną i powieściową, a także sposobem prezentacji, uzależnionym od rodzaju narracji (narrator
XIX-wieczny i starożytny). Analizie poddano również inne, jednowyrazowe określenia Boga/bogów,
zwłaszcza imiona poszczególnych postaci boskich. Tekst zamyka konkluzja o monoteistycznym
obrazie Boga w Faraonie, przy czym ów monoteizm obejmuje dwie niezupełnie tożsame istoty –
jedną z nich jest Bóg ogólnoludzki, najbliższy Prusowi, drugą zaś Bóg żydowski, traktujący swój
lud w sposób wyjątkowy, jako naród wybrany. Politeistyczną wizję bogów ukazanych w Faraonie
tłumaczą głównie względy wychowawczo-polityczno-ekologiczne.The article intends to outline Prus’ vision of religion, and of God in particular, included in the
novel on ancient Egypt. The text comprises two basic parts: 1) “Genesis of Faraon”, 2) “Religions
in Faraon”. One-word terms relating to God/gods. Essentially, the author discusses the semantic and
stylistic content of the lexeme God/gods conditioned by the historical and literary reality as well as
its discursive presentation which, in turn, depends on the type of narration (a 19th century narrator
and an ancient one). Moreover, other one-word terms relating to God/gods are analysed, vitally the
names of particular divine forms. The paper’s conclusion is that Faraon offers a monotheistic picture
of God albeit the monotheism incorporates two beings which cannot be fully identified with each
other. One of them is God in the general sense, with whom Prus seems closely affiliated, and the other
one is the Jewish God who treats his followers as the chosen people. The polytheistic vision of gods
pictured in Faraon can be accounted for primarily by educational, political and ecological factors
Phoenicians and the Polish Cause. Problems of Representation in Bolesław Prus’s Faraon
No full textThis article proposes to reflect on selected paradoxes of representation in Bolesław Prus’s novel Faraon [The Pharaoh]. First of all, the author discusses the validity of the notions of “truth” / “falsehood” in literary studies and proves that there is no reason for applying them to fiction. Then, he focuses on the depiction of the uncanny magician Beroes and his actions, which transgress realistic standards of probability. Finally, the author argues that the analogy between the novel’s fictional Phoenicians and 19th-century Polish Jews drawn by some researchers is unjustified both because of the novel’s narrative mode and the writer’s opinions expressed in his other texts
Den Siste Faraon
No full textThis thesis studies the connection between authoritarianism and legitimacy by applying it to Egypt. The author argues that the authoritarian regime in the country have maintained its power by using a consistent strategy involving cooptation of some groups and a selective repression of groups that threatens its position. In this way, it has been able to obtain legitimacy from key groups and suppress the groups that threaten its position. This study uses three variables in order to show the connection between legitimacy and the authoritarian resilience. This paper challenges the perception that an authoritarian regime lacks legitimacy and bases its rule exclusively on oppressing its population
A rede digital e as configurações do autor
No full textThis article analyses the configurations of the author in the virtual
epoch. Instead of a generic approach towards a definition of the author, it favors a differentiated conception which investigates the diverse functions and roles of the author in the respective social systems. The article parts from the actual discussion on hypertext as the realization of the old dream of a Universal Library. It will show the diverse historic efforts to conceive literature and arts in general as a communicative field free from authorial references,
frequently seen as “author-itarian”, as well as the continuity to keep a stable and identifiable authorship in the juridical and economic field.Este artigo analisa as configurações do autor na era virtual. Para tal objetivo, abstraímos de uma definição genérica do autor em favor de uma abordagem diferenciada que investiga as diversas funções e papéis da instância autoral nos respectivos sistemas sociais. O artigo parte da discussão atual sobre o hipertexto como realização virtual do sonho antigo de uma Biblioteca Universal. Mostramos as diversas tentativas históricas de conceber a literatura e arte como campo comunicativo livre de referencias autorais e assim “autor-itárias” bem como a continuidade de manter uma autoria estável e identificável na área jurídica e econômica

Mitologia polityczna wczesnych filmów Jerzego Kawalerowicza
No full textThe author refers to Roland Barthes’s early concept of mythology in analyzing the films of Jerzy Kawalerowicz, one of the most outstanding Polish directors of the twentieth century. He interprets three of Kawalerowicz’s films, Pociąg [Night Train], Matka Joanna od Aniołów [Mother Joan of the Angels] and Faraon [Pharaoh], which are read in the mythological register and in the political context. First the statements of the director in regard to each film are presented, then the judgments of film critics are provided, and finally the author gives his own interpretation. Night Train is shown as a film addressing the wrongs of the Stalinist era, and the problem of a totalitarian state. Mother Joanne of the Angels questions the sense of ideology in a totalitarian world, and is partially the director’s search for political identity, while Pharaoh is a look at the post-October reformers and the reasons for their failure. Pharaoh also provides a new vision of the state
Proceedings of CGAMES’2007
No full textData Distribution Management (DDM) services are very important to online services in general and, in particular, to online Computer Games. Many previous works have addressed the problemof minimizing bandwidth usage by avoiding sending unnecessary data to clients, which is often referred to as InterestManagement. Many good algorithms have been developed to calculate clients’ interests, having O(n2) complexity in worst case, but none of them have paid attention to the time dependencies of the data. In this paper we present a novel algorithm for Interest Management which reaches a O(1) complexity by profiting from time dependencies of data related to clients’ interests. Our results show that this approach improves previously existing ones in time performance, and it is specially suitable for its use in online computer game servers
