This article aims to analyze the use of parodic ekphrasis of the cathedral in Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. This matter was first brought to attention by Małgorzata Czermińska, who pointed out the satirical nature of the literary description of the gothic church in Rouen. However, to truly understand the way in which the novelist transformed the traditional formula of ekphrasis in Madame Bovary one must consider two drastically different dimensions of this treatment. The inspiration for this division comes from the work of Renata Lis, who argued that Flaubert’s work is marked by a fundamental ambivalence concerning spirituality, resulting in a variety of representations of holiness in his novels. On one hand, the parody of ekphrasis in the novel serves the most obvious function – it’s a cause for the mockery of the bourgeoisie and its distorted spiritual and aesthetic sensibilities. On the other hand, the parodic aspect of the discussed fragment is reminiscent of Olga Freudenberg’s approach. According to this Russian scholar, the essence of parody is not expressed through comedy and ridicule but rather through tragedy and an inseparable connection to the sacred. Such an understanding of the parodic ekphrasis of the gothic temple in Madame Bovary highlights the remarkable consistency with which Flaubert reflected on the existential condition of the protagonist. Emma’s inability to grasp the aesthetic values and sanctity of the cathedral expresses her tragic tendency to misrecognize, which leads to the novel’s somber finale.

Lech Majewski’s The Mill and the Cross (2011) is a full-length feature film, a screen adaptation of Pieter Bruegel’s painting The Way of the Cross (1564). Majewski proves to be an excellent interpreter of Bruegel’s art, whom he considers a philosopher, an epic, and a poet. He relies on the research of Michael F. Gibson, and in his plotting he draws on a long-standing tradition of literary experience and digital technology (without this, it would have been impossible to faithfully reproduce the overall plan and realities of the painting). Majewski exposes the palimpsest nature of the narrative and shapes the film like a contemporary novel of space. In order to make the ideas of the screened painting comprehensible and to emphasize the fictionality of the depicted world, he introduces various versions of “literature about literature”. In the film, he perfectly integrates painterly features (word reduction, stop motion, long static camera shots) and literary features (the structure of an episodic novel of manners).
莱赫-马耶夫斯基的《磨坊与十字架》(2011 年)是一部长篇故事片,改编自彼得-勃鲁盖尔的画作《十字架之路》(1564 年)。事实证明,Majewski 是一位出色的勃鲁盖尔艺术诠释者,他认为勃鲁盖尔是一位哲学家、史诗和诗人。他依靠迈克尔-F-吉布森(Michael F. Gibson)的研究,在绘制过程中借鉴了文学经验的悠久传统和数字技术(没有数字技术,就不可能忠实再现画作的整体规划和现实)。马耶夫斯基揭示了叙事的 "重写本"(palimpsest)性质,并将影片塑造成一部当代空间小说。为了让人理解被放映的画作的思想,并强调所描绘世界的虚构性,他引入了各种版本的 "关于文学的文学"。在影片中,他完美地融合了绘画特征(减字、定格、静态长镜头)和文学特征(情节性礼仪小说的结构)。

The article is devoted to the literary heritage of Oles Ulianenko, who was virtually the only national author addressing LGBTQIA+ subject matter. The corporal-mimetic method was applied to analyze fiction works, which enabled us to draw a number of meaningful conclusions. On the one hand, LGBTQIA+ themes are typologically represented by a variety of images which are characterized by both an ironic dimension and dramatic pathos, interpreted not in ethical but in aesthetic terms. On the other hand, Oles Ulianenko was the first to shift homosexuality into the visible realm, and to represent the “splendors and miseries” (H. de Balzac) of homoeroticism to Ukrainian society; who, with his sexualized, homosexualized and lesbian narrative of his literary works attempted to speak of a future when his country would overcome the lack of social and sexual freedom.
文章专门论述了奥列斯-乌里扬年科(Oles Ulianenko)的文学遗产,他几乎是国内唯一一位以 LGBTQIA+ 为主题的作家。我们运用体态拟态法分析了小说作品,从而得出了一些有意义的结论。一方面,LGBTQIA+题材在类型上表现为各种形象,这些形象的特点是既有讽刺性又有戏剧性的悲怆,不是从伦理角度而是从美学角度来诠释的。另一方面,奥列-乌里扬诺夫科(Oles Ulianenko)是第一个将同性恋转变为可见领域,并向乌克兰社会表现同性恋的 "辉煌与苦难"(H. de Balzac)的人;他通过其文学作品中的性化、同性恋化和女同性恋化叙事,试图讲述他的国家将克服缺乏社会和性自由的未来。

The article contains a review of bell hooks’ Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center (1984; Wydawnictwo Krytyki Politycznej, Warszawa 2013, second edition 2022). The text by the American scholar presents groundbreaking theses for the development of the Black feminism movement – she was one of the first to draw attention to the need to take into account various social determinants of violence against women. At the same time, it emphasizes the exclusionary and marginalizing assumptions of second-wave feminism that dominated in the mid-twentieth century. In my review, I reflect on the importance of republishing a theoretical book that examines the systemic violence faced by Black women in a patriarchal and white society. For me, it is important to ask about the relevance of hooks’ reflections and the role they play in thinking about feminism in contemporary capitalist society. I also reflect on the applicability of hooks’ theory in Polish feminism context.

The article is a review of the most important works by Herbert George Wells in terms of the relationship between futurological vision, projected ideal and knowledge about the past. Wells is usually associated with a prospective attitude, with forecasting the future and modeling its desired image. Indeed, his science fiction novels, treatises and utopias try to answer the question of the paths of civilization’s development. But this work is accompanied by constant analysis of the past, correcting the scenarios of past events and shaping their new version. On the one hand, the retroactive formation of historical matter supports a utopia with a socialist profile, and on the other, it prevents its stabilization and closes it in the circle of left-wing melancholy, as described by Enzo Traverso. Some of the writer’s progressive ideas seem to be patient self-persuasion, others – such as fantasies about “fortunate disasters” – can be understood as attempts to escape from melancholy. Breaking free from its power, however, comes at a high price: it is the end of the socialist utopia, the abandonment of the idea of progress and the optimistic history of philosophy.

Video games are often analysed as textual objects. This default literary point of view, while providing valuable conclusions, fails to observe some essential points that are realised in different modes of narration. Here I will analyse the Cyberpunk 2077 video game from a musical perspective. I will be “listening to” the game rather than “reading” it. This kind of hermeneutical approach will highlight certain ideas of CP2077. I will focus on the issue of dehumanisation, and show that musically the game places special emphasis on this. I will point out the musical characteristics that can affect players and interpret the rationale behind it.

The article presents the performance Kronos, directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski in 2013. The performance was an immediate reaction to the extremely intimate work of art written by Witold Gombrowicz. Garbaczewski is involved in reading and staging Gombrowicz’s work since 2008. The article highlights how the creative method presented in Kronos is portrayed by actors during the performance. Moreover, the author shows the phenomenon of poetry epiphany in the play, the coexistence of corporeality and the mind, the processes of tabooisation of the body and mediatization in the play. The author points to common points in the works of Gombrowicz and Garbaczewski. She also draws attention to how the writer’s authority is invoked, a process through which the director legitimises the theatrical exploration.

The research paper presents the concept of secondarily multimodal work, which problematizes the status of e.g.: visual elements added to further editions of an initially monomodal text in the context of its interpretation. This issue is discussed using the example of Bronka Nowicka’s volume To Feed a Stone (2015; 2017), which was expanded in the second edition with photographs and tomographs of the objects described. The analysis shows that some added graphic elements break up the coherence of the narrative and both reinforce and undermine the mimesis in the work. They function based on the principle of a Derridean supplement: they complement and condition the content of the verbal passages. The article concludes with a study of art volumes that are part of Nowicka’s intermedia project focusing on exploring the relationship between image and memory.
该研究论文提出了 "二次多模态作品 "的概念,对诸如在最初为单模态文本的后续版本中添加的视觉元素在其阐释中的地位提出了质疑。本文以布朗卡-诺维卡(Bronka Nowicka)的作品《喂养石头》(To Feed a Stone,2015;2017)为例讨论了这一问题,该作品在第二版中增加了照片和所描述对象的断层扫描图。分析表明,一些添加的图形元素打破了叙事的连贯性,既加强又削弱了作品中的拟态。这些元素的作用基于德里达补充原则:它们是对语言段落内容的补充和调节。文章最后对作为诺维卡跨媒体项目一部分的艺术卷进行了研究,该项目侧重于探索图像与记忆之间的关系。

The author analyzes the works of Patricia Piccinini (sculpture), Shaun Tan (literature) and Joon-ho Bong (film) in terms of the post-humanist idea of interspecies familiarity. The text begins with an explanation of the term Kinship, and then indicates to what extent post-humanism extends its scope and describes the emotional ties between human and other-than-human members of the household. The author presents this kind of post-humanist, multi-genre family life in three different versions: in the field of visual arts, these will be works from the Welcome Guest, and Families of the Future by Piccinini, in the field of the literature – Tan’s Tales from the Inner City, and the film representation – Okja by Bong. Although each of these works brings out slightly different aspects and contexts of the post-humanist vision of the concept of Kinship, they share an openness to what is other-than-human, combined with care and tenderness.
