Jacek Dehnel – obraz tłumacza
No full textThis article attempts to present Jacek Dehnel as a translator. For this purpose, the author refers to selected works discussing Jacek Dehnel as a writer, poet, translator, and artist. In addition, the author uses Jacek Dehnel's statements on translation made in interviews and his critical comments on poetry and prose translations. The author assumes that a discussion on Jacek Dehnel's (or any other translator's) professional activity solely from the perspective of the texts of their translations would be insufficient. In the article, the author suggests that Jacek Dehnel pays particular attention to non-standard varieties of language in his prose, which in turn may influence his translation decisions. The article notes that when it appears impossible to convey the character of the original language in its entirety, Dehnel has been a proponent of departing from the form of the source text to save its exact meaning - also in poetry translation. The article concludes that Jacek Dehnel is familiar with many views on literary translation, he is interested in its theory, willingly participates in discussions in this field, and reviews other translations. Dehnel treats literature as the best source of knowledge about writing and translation. Despite his unquestionable literary, poetic, and translation achievements, Dehnel does not deny that he is still learning how to write and translate from others. The article is also an invitation to further discussion and critical analysis of Jacek Dehnel's translations.Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia sylwetki Jacka Dehnela jako tłumacza. Autor opiera się na wybranych pracach, omawiających dotychczasowy dorobek Jacka Dehnela jako pisarza, poety, tłumacza oraz artysty. W artykule wykorzystano wypowiedzi Jacka Dehnela na temat tłumaczenia udzielone w wywiadach oraz jego komentarze krytyczne, dotyczące przekładów poezji i prozy. Autor wychodzi z założenia, że omówienie translatorskiej działalności Jacka Dehnela (oraz każdego innego tłumacza) jedynie przez pryzmat tekstów jego przekładów byłoby niewystarczające. Artykuł jest zatem zaproszeniem do dalszej dyskusji i krytycznej analizy tłumaczeń pióra Jacka Dehnela.

Le mani di Jacek Woszczerowicz, attore “di composizione” [An actor of composition. Jacek Woszczerowicz's hands]
No full text"The article aims to draw attention back to the art of Jacek Woszczerowicz, once a
well-known and beloved Polish actor. It focuses on his peculiar acting style by analyzing two
adaptations of stage dramas and a documentary of a theatrical masterpiece Richard III (1960). In
particular, the author highlights Woszczerowicz’s work on gesture and the role played by hands in

experience realized dramatically by the artist and to understand why Jan Kott considered him
“the first contemporary Shakespeare”, while Jerzy Grotowski praised him as the greatest “actor of
composition”.
