    O wczesnych relacjach Orwella z Polską [On Orwell's Early Ties with Poland]

    No full text
    The article discusses George Orwell’s early ties with Poland and Poles, it attempts to bring together different perspectives, contexts and less known facts. On the one hand, it highlights Orwell’s considerable interest in Poland and presents his attitude to some issues related to Poland as expressed in his journalism, which tends to be less known to the Polish reader than his more famous books. It also points out his personal contacts with Polish emigrants and his involvement in their problems. On the other hand, it indicates how contemporary Poles perceived Orwell and attempts to give a picture of his reception among them early on, from both perspectives: of the Polish emigrants and Poles back in the country (the official) and how they intertwined

    Trzy inedita, errata do tomu *** Antoniego Pawlaka [Three inedita, an erratum to the volume *** by Antoni Pawlak]

    Full text link
    In 1983, Główny Urząd Kontroli Publikacji i Widowisk (GUKPiW) [Main Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows] did not allow for the printing of several poems by Antoni Pawlak, which were supposed to appear in the poetic volume titled ***. The texts were forgotten for a long time. They were, however, preserved in the GUKPiW documentation. Thanks to this, it was possible to recover them after many years, through archival queries conducted by the Archiwum Akt Nowych [Archive of New Files] in Warsaw. The aim of the article is to describe the history of the lost poems by Pawlak and to present them in their full versions. The paper also references the biography of the author, as well as the socio-political aspects of the Polish People’s Republic in the 1980s, and the issues of censoring of Polish literature at the time

    Inedita z Yad Vashem i Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego. Twórczość poetycka Niny Gitler

    No full text
    The article presents a biography and excerpts from selected poetic works by Nina Gitler, a former Bergen-Belsen prisoner. Gitler, along with her family, lived through the beginning of the war in Warsaw. In 1940 or 1941 she found herself in the ghetto, where she stayed until the end of April 1943. She left it, together with her parents and grandmother, thanks to an unusual coincidence. Subsequently, the family received so-called “Palestinian certificates” through the Hotel Polski and, together with other Jews, were transported to Bergen-Belsen. She spent almost two years in the camp, but did not see its liberation, as almost at the last minute some of the prisoners were sent to another camp. However, the train did not reach its destination. The prisoners regained their freedom. A few months later, Gitler died in tragic circumstances, at the age of just 19. Despite her death at a young age, she left a substantial literary output, not only poems, also texts written in prose. Working on this article, a query was made at the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem in 2019 and the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw in 2020

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    „Ironia trącąca defetyzmem” a „społeczne zadania satyry”. Recenzje cenzorskie zbioru felietonów Władysława Smólskiego z 1948 roku

    Full text link
    W 1948 r. do Głównego Urzędu Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji iWidowisk trafiły dwa zbiory felietonów autorstwa Władysława Smólskiego, które otrzymały aż dziesięć recenzji, w tym dziewięć negatywnych. Maszynopisy przekazano do kontroli w kwietniu 1948 r., a kolejne w następnych miesiącach, kiedy kontrola słowa stawała się coraz bardziej restrykcyjna. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie negatywnych recenzji cenzorskich sporządzonych w GUKPPiW, a także przedstawienie sytuacji, w jakiej znalazł się wówczas pisarz, który jeszcze przed wybuchem II wojny światowej dał się poznać jako autor m.in. fars i humoresek

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
