“Poland represented existential experiences of resistance, political experiences and intellectual impact”. Marek Zybura in conversation with Wolfgang Templin, the author of the German biography of Józef Piłsudski
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.

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
Dynamic Elasto-Visco-Plastic Material Model for Modelling of Light Weight Deflectometer Test:a uniaxial preliminary study
No full textA uniaxial material model comprising elastic (resilient), viscous (damping), plastic (permanent) and inertia forces is derived in this thesis. The behaviour of the model is studied and the capability of the model to replicate the behaviour of soils subjected to a Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) test is investigated.Based on literature review, material equations originating in impact engineering are used as the governing equations of the proposed model instead of traditional road/railway geotechnic material equations, e.g. a stress dependent resilient modulus, because the impact engineering equations are suitable for dynamic phenomena with high velocities and are capable of modelling seating. Because of the novelty of the model, only uniaxial case is considered in this research. The predominantly uniaxial nature of an LWD test is conveniently used during the simplification. To have the numerical solution of the proposed model fully under control, the solution is obtained via own-built \MATLAB code. Central difference numerical method is used during the solution for the linearization of the problem in the time domain and a uniaxial case of closest point projection method is used to drive the evolution of plastic state variables. No experiment was performed during this research. Instead, the model is calibrated using published and digitized LWD deflection data.The thesis shows that it is possible to create and solve a model comprising dynamic elasto-visco-plastic behaviour. It also shows that the model is capable of producing results of promising quality. The investigation of the behaviour of the model shows that all its parts, i.e. stiffness, inertia, damping and permanent forces, significantly contribute to the response of the model, which finding is in contradiction with the contemporary accepted assumptions about the LWD behaviour. Main findings are: (i) the model is very load sensitive, thus, to utilize the full potential of the model, the time-load data measured for the whole time interval of an LWD test needs to be uploaded into the model; (ii) for the same reason, the model need to be calibrated on the whole time-deflection data; (iii) the power stiffness governing equation is more suitable for modelling of LWD testing than the more widely used stress dependent resilient modulus approach, because it enables to model the phenomenon of seating and (iv) Armstrong-Frederic hardening rule, used in this thesis, is the simplest non-linear plastic governing rule, which is capable to deliver a non-zero increment of permanent deflection under cyclic loading. However, the rule is not entirely suitable for stress/force driven tests and some problems with the uniqueness of plastic material constant identification are encountered during the investigation.The findings of this thesis support the notion that the dynamic nature of LWD test should be acknowledged and that the current LWD testing procedure should be used with caution. Main recommendations are: (i) time-deflection and time-load data should be measured for a minimum of \mbox{30 ms} but recommended \mbox{50-60 ms} and the data should be recorded as inextricable part of an LWD test; (ii) the deflection of a soil surface under an LWD plate should be measured preferably to the deflection of an LWD plate itself; (iii) further research should be aimed on improving the governing equations of the permanent part of the model, with Armstrong-Frederic hardening rule possibly being replaced by multiple plasticity surface models and (iv) special attention should be paid if the results of LWD testing are directly compared to the results of a different Quality Assurance/Quality Control method.The author of this thesis acknowledges that to follow the aforementioned recommendations will require additional research aimed at the construction of LWD devices, especially at: (i) eliminating the systematic error between LWD surface and LWD plate measurements; (ii) minimizing the error of internal numerical integration, which decreases the reliability of measured data after approximately 15 ms of measurement and (iii) including load measurements into more than just few types of LWD devices.In summary, this thesis presents a dynamic elasto-visco-plastic model, which, for as far as the author of the thesis was able to review, is first of its kind in the context of LWD modelling. Only uniaxial representation of the problem is studied in this thesis in order to avoid the usage of a commercial final element method software, thus to have the numerical solution of the novel model fully under control. Though only uniaxial, results of this study provide useful insight into LWD mechanics and points out possible problems for future research
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
Some comments on Maurycy Zajęki’s paper brute and institutional presuppositions: an attempt to broaden the concept of Marek Smolak’s concept of a legal text presuppositions
No full textThe paper contains the polemics and refers to certain doubts that Maurycy Zaje˛cki presented in his paper. Responding to them, Marek Smolak formulated the following three remarks. Firstly, he accepts the postulate that presuppositions should be divided into, as proposed by M. Zaje˛cki, brute and institutional presuppositions. Secondly, contrary to M. Zaje˛cki’s view, the author of this paper argues that a certain fact is indeed an institutional fact even when, based on mutual expectations, only two persons recognise it as a fact. Thirdly, the author emphasises the fact that the truthfulness of the existence of institutional facts presupposed in a legal text depends on their social acceptance.Artykuł zawiera polemikę z wątpliwościami, jakie przedstawił w swym artykule Maurycy Zajęcki. Autor sformułował trzy uwagi. Po pierwsze, uznaje zasadność podziału presupozycji zaproponowanego przez M. Zajęckiego na presupozycje surowe oraz presupozycje instytucjonalne. Po drugie, wbrew stanowisku M. Zajęckiego autor argumentuje, że dany fakt jest faktem instytucjonalnym nawet wtedy, gdy na podstawie wzajemnych oczekiwań zostanie uznany tylko przez dwie osoby. Po trzecie, autor podkreśla, że prawdziwość twierdzeń o istnieniu faktów instytucjonalnych presuponowanych w tekście prawnym jest uzależniona od ich społecznej akceptacji
