The University of Vilnius
04_04_lt_eng.docx THE UNIVERSITY OF VILNIUS The University of Vilnius – one of the oldest and most famous establishments of higher education in Eastern and Central Europe, was founded in 1579. Functioning for a long time as the only school of higher learning in Lithuania, it was a preserver of cultural and scientific traditions, and has played a significant part in the cultural life not only of Lithuania, but the neighboring countries as well. During more than four centuries of its existence, the University of Vilnius has seen periods of growth and decline, revival, and closure. The University is a unique witness to the history of the Lithuanian state. In 1773, the Jesuit order was dissolved in Europe and the University was taken over by the secular authority. After Lithuania was annexed by Russia, the University was renamed into Vilnius Principal School. In 1803, the University received a new statute and the title of the Imperial University of Vilnius. As a number of students and professors became engaged in the anti–tsarist movement, the University was closed down according to the orders of tsar Nicholas I, and it was not reopened until 1919. Vilnius and its region were then annexed by Poland, and the University functioned under the Polish auspices until 1939 by the name of Stephen Bathory University. In 1943, the University was closed down by the Nazis, and resumed its activities in the autumn of 1944. Though restrained by the Soviet system, Vilnius University grew and gained force. Vilnius University started to free itself from the Soviet ideology in 1988 even before Lithuania regained independence in 1990. -

The Power of Illusions: Enlightenment, Romanticism, and National Catastrophe in Poland
THE POWER OF ILLUSIONS: ENLIGHTENMENT, ROMANTICISM, AND NATIONAL CATASTROPHE IN POLAND Leszek Koczanowicz Abstract: The aim of the paper is to show the consequences of the loss of independence for the public discourse in Poland in the context of 19th comparison between Poland and Spain. The loss of independence is considered a “catastrophe” so the first part of the paper deals with the meaning of the concept of catastrophe. In the second part, the author tracks the traces of this catastrophe in Polish literature in 19th and 20th century using as the examples texts of such authors as Krasicki, Lelewel, Mickiewicz, Prus, Brun, and Gombrowicz. Drawing on psychoanalysis the author argues that in Polish discourse the sophisticated system of illusions have been developed which has helped to maintain Polish national identity during the times of oppression. The paper ends with the question about the usefulness of this system of illusions in independent Poland after 1989. I. Introduction: The Concept of Catastrophe as a Theoretical Category Catastrophe appears in the humanities and social sciences in various theoretical and empirical contexts. It is closely associated with the concept of event, which is becoming a paramount notion in the humanities at present. In his genealogy of the concept of event, Martin Jay shows how introducing “the event” into the humanities was interconnected with the dismantling of structuralist supremacy. Analyzing the meaning of the event in “French theory,” Jay concludes: “for them no event is a ‘current event.’ If it has any basic temporality, it is that of future anterior (sometimes called the future perfect), the time of what will come to be a completed past in what will be the future. -

Po pierwsze, Autor dysponuje skąpą liczbą źródeł na temat działalno- ści i poglądów politycznych swego bohatera i usiłuje to ukryć, opisując mnóstwo wydarzeń, z których żadna wiedza o tychże poglądach i dzia- łaniach nie wynika. Po drugie, nie wykorzystuje literatury historycz- nej; wprawdzie tu i ówdzie mamy do niej przypisy, ale dotyczą one kwestii incydentalnych, narracja zaś obarczona jest licznymi błędami wynikłymi z nieznajomości opracowań. Kwestie dobrze z nich znane Autor relacjonuje na podstawie źródeł, nader często niezwiązanych z tematyką rozprawy. W dodatku cytowane źródła i rozbudowane przy- pisy do nich niepotrzebnie rozdymają objętość książki. Po trzecie, nie mając podstaw źródłowych do napisania ponad 250 stron opracowania o politycznej działalności bohatera, Autor w lwiej części posługuje się domysłami, które dowodzą braku wnioskowania w oparciu o materiał źródłowy. I wreszcie czwarty z głównych zarzutów odnosi się do liczącego ok. 90 stron załącznika źródłowego. Wydawca zdradza w nim słabą znajomość języka staropolskiego, odsłania nieznajomość łaciny, a rozliczne błędy w odczytach sztukuje nierzadko wypaczającymi treść domysłami. * KH 126, 2019, 3, s. 592–600. 1 KH 127, 2020, 2, s. 341–354. http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/KH.2020.127.3.06 http://rcin.org.pl 636 Zofia Zielińska Narracja o politycznej karierze bohatera książki — bo jej przede wszystkim dotyczyła recenzja— obejmuje ponad 42 proc. -
Kyiv's Intellectual Environment on the Eve of the Valuev Directive, EWJUS
Kyiv’s Intellectual Environment on the Eve of the Valuev Directive Valentyna Shandra National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Translated by Vitaly Chernetsky, Olena Ivanenko; emendated by Ksenia Maryniak Abstract: The article discusses the conditions which galvanized the intellectual community in Kyiv prior to the 1863 January Uprising (aka Polish Insurrection of 1863-64). It analyzes local press coverage of the language debate, and delves into the worldviews of its participants, including Mykhailo Maksymovych, Mykhailo Iuzefovych, Mykola Kostomarov, Ksenofont Hovors'kyi, and others. It identifies how and why the results of this debate influenced the issuance of the 1863 Valuev Directive, which banned the use of the Ukrainian language in print. Keywords: language debate, Kyiv intellectual community, Valuev Directive. n 29 June 1862, the Imperial Russian War Minister Dmitrii Miliutin O wrote to the Chief of Gendarmes Vasilii Dolgorukov: “I consider it necessary to convey to Your Excellency the secret information about the events in Kyiv shared with me by the Governor General of the Court of His Imperial Majesty, Count Sievers, adding that I personally read the attached note to His Majesty the Emperor” (Savchenko 183). What was it that impressed the count so much in Kyiv, which he visited in early 1862 as a representative of the War Ministry, observing military installations and the moods of the peasantry—leading to his report being shared not only with key members of the cabinet but also with Tsar Alexander II himself? In the streets of Kyiv he saw many young people, mostly students, in “Little Russian” dress. After gathering some information privately and consulting a report by the governor of Kyiv gubernia, Lieutenant General P. -

Thomas Żebrowski – the Disciple of Joseph Stepling
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE – HISTORIA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PRAGENSIS 2017 Tomus LVII. Fasc. 2 Pag. 71–77 THOMAS ŻEBROWSKI – THE DISCIPLE OF JOSEPH STEPLING NIJOLĖ BULOTAITĖ THOMAS ŻEBROWSKI, JOSEPH STEPLING’S STUDENT In early eighteenth century, with the arrival of the Age of Enlightenment, the Jesuit Academy in Vilnius started to introduce various reforms. Political turmoil and the need to modernise the school system led to the introduction of Modern philosophy and science into the curriculum. Special attention was paid to mathematics and natural sciences, and this held even after the abolition of the Jesuit Order. Thomas Żebrowski, a talented mathematician, astronomer, and architect, was sent to Prague to learn about new methods and achievements of astronomy and mathematics from Joseph Stepling. He studied in Prague in 1751–1752. Upon his return to Vilnius, he started to teach mathematics, founded a cabinet of physics and mathematics, and in 1753, established an observatory. He kept in touch with Joseph Stepling and consulted him on various subjects including teaching, experimentation, and construction of an astronomic observatory. Ideas he brought from Prague had formed the foundation of ad- vancement of mathematics and astronomy at the Vilnius University, where they were further developed by his students and contributed to a high level of exact sciences, which was maintained until 1832, when the university was closed. Professor Żebrowski, whose career was short but productive, left behind an almost finished astronomical obser- vatory, a modern museum of mathematics, and a legacy of public scientific activities. He is also considered one of the most important late Baroque architects in Lithuania. -
History Joachim Lelewel's Edda of 1807
FOLIA SCANDINAVICA VOL. 22 POZNAŃ 2017 HISTORY DOI: 10.1515/fsp - 2017 - 000 3 JOACHIM LELEWEL’S EDDA OF 1807 A NNETT K RAKOW University of Silesia A BSTRACT . This article focuses on Joachim Lelewel’s interest in Old Norse literature as reflected in his paper on Old Norse literature delivered in 1806 and his book Edda that was published a year later. Lelewel’s Edda comprises the first Polish translation (partly as a concise retelling) of selected parts of the French translation of the Poetic Edda and the Snorra Edda as included in Paul Henri Mallet’s Monumens de la myt hologie [...] published in 1756. Lelewel’s work is placed in the context of the rising interest in this literature before 1800, whereby special attention is put on the sources Lelewel resorted to, in particular Mallet’s publications and articles in the Fre nch literary magazine Magasin Encyclopedique . Comparing the Eddas in Lelewel’s and Mallet’s publications, one can, among other things, note that Lelewel (1) ignores the literary value of the dialogue form in Gylfaginning due to a narrow focus on the mythol ogical content (2) relates the migration of the Scyth ian s to northern Europe in his introduction which thus serves as a substitute for the missing Prologue to the Snorra Edda and (3) partly deviates from Mallet in his footnotes. Aspects (2) and (3) can als o be linked back to Lelewel’s use of Magasin Encyclopedique . 1. ON THE RELEVANCE OF STUDYING LELEWEL’S INTEREST IN THE OLD NORSE WORLD Joachim Lelewel (1786 - 1861) was an eminent figure in the Polish humanities, best known for his influential works on, for instance, Polish history and the history of geography. -
Political Murder and the Victory of Ethnic Nationalism in Interwar Poland
POLITICAL MURDER AND THE VICTORY OF ETHNIC NATIONALISM IN INTERWAR POLAND by Paul Brykczynski A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor Brian Porter-Szűcs, Chair Professor Ronald G. Suny Professor Geneviéve Zubrzycki Professor Robert Blobaum, University of West Virginia DEDICATION In memory of my Grandfather, Andrzej Pieczyński, who never talked about patriotism but whose life bore witness to its most beautiful traditions and who, among many other things, taught me both to love the modern history of Poland and to think about it critically. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In a project such as this, there are innumerable people to thank. While I know that this list will never be comprehensive, I will nevertheless do my best to acknowledge at least some of those without whom this work would not have been possible. Most important, there will never be a way to adequately thank my wife and best friend, Andrea, for standing by me 150% through this long and often difficult journey. Working on a PhD certainly has its ups and downs and, without Andrea, I would not have made it through the latter. Her faith in my work and in the path I had chosen never wavered, even when mine occasionally did. With that kind of support, one can accomplish anything one set one’s mind to. An enormous thank you must go to my parents, Mikołaj and Ewa Brykczyński. Despite being uprooted from their culture by the travails of political emigration, they somehow found the strength to raise me with the traditions of the Central European Intelligentsia—that is to say in an environment where books were read, ideas were discussed, and intellectual curiosity was valued and encouraged. -
