Introduction • Many problems of the contemporary world include challenges already familiar to civilizations, societies and nations of distant epochs. Solutions to some of them, both intellectual and practical, are often forgotten or even unknown, while others have gained stereotypical interpretations, which do not always correspond to the truth. Meanwhile, the skilful interpretation of the cultural heritage of many contemporary nations may be a creative inspiration both in the effort to understand, diagnose as well as shape ways of resolving contradictions, conflicts and posing developmental questions towards the challenges of the contemporary world. The Jagiellonian era is an excellent area for such inspirations. During the three centuries fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth, concepts and a -ne twork of activities, institutions and legal regulations have been developed, which correspond to similar issues of contemporary Europe in the area of social mobility, multiculturalism, international and intercultural rela- tions, religious tolerance, cooperation of regional, national and supranatio- nal communities. This cooperation is noticeable in the field of science, arti- stic creativity and political culture. It is worth mentioning that many ideas were conceived then, which go far beyond the area of geopolitical relations, and thus beyond what Polish historians called the ’Jagiellonian idea’ in the second half of the nineteenth century. In political terms, it has always had different perception in individual countries that create a specific Jagiello- nian space stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. Yet, it should be remembered, that the space was not won with a sword, but a discourse of interests, more of less felt sense of community. The purpose of this book, however, is neither to evaluate nor to continue the visions of unity, but to highlight the many, very creative ideas 9 JAGIELLONIAN IDEAS... that have arisen in the fields of science, culture, interreligious relations, pu- blic affairs, the concept of the common good, education and rights, as well as the patterns of political thinking in its interpretation of axiology. It is a very diverse world of ideas referring, as in the case of outstanding and still underestimated thought authored by Paweł Włodkowic - to universalizing values that go far beyond national contexts. They create a wealth of inspira- tion, when one looks at this heritage, not only in terms of political science, but also through cultural sciences, anthropology, cultural sociology, peda- gogy, history of ideas, intercultural studies or social communication. The texts collected in the book are mainly the result of work within three seminars and one workshop carried out in 2017, designed in a com- parative perspective, successively at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, the University of Oxford, National Pedagogical Dragomanov University in Kiev and Western Sydney University. Each of these events was a separate, but at the same time corresponding experience, which participants found very interesting. This experience shows the Jagiellonian ideas from a diffe- rent but complementary side. In all these places, we enjoyed great support from representatives of the local scientific communities, for which we wo- uld like to express our great gratitude and hope for further cooperation. Each seminar and workshop, was similar in structure to the

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • After Miłosz: Polish Poetry in the 20Th and the 21Th Century Chicago, Chopin Theatre, 9/30 –10/3 2011
    After Miłosz: Polish Poetry In the 20th and the 21th Century Chicago, Chopin Theatre, 9/30 –10/3 2011 THE FESTIVAL The Chicago's literary festival titled After Milosz: Polish Poetry in the 20th and 21th Century is the largest presentation of Polish poetry in the United States this year. The festival celebrates the year of Czeslaw Milosz and commemorates the centennial anniversary of the birth of the Nobel Prize winner. The event goes beyond a familiar formula of commenting the work of the poet and offers a broader view on the contemporary Polish poetry. Besides the academic conference dedicated to Milosz's work, and a panel with the greatest America poets (Jorie Graham, Charles Simic) remembering the artist and discussing his influence on American poetry, the program includes readings of the most talented modern Polish poets of three generations. From the best known (Zagajewski, Sommer) to the most often awarded young writer nowadays, Justyna Bargielska. An important part of the festival will be two concerts: the opening show will present the best Polish rappers FISZ and EMADE whose songs are inspired by Polish poetry; another concert will present one of the best jazz singers in the world, Patricia Barber, who will perform especially for this occasion. The main organizers of the festival are the Fundation of Tygodnik Powszechny magazine and the Joseph Conrad International Literary Festival in Krakow, for which the Chicago festival is a portion of the larger international project for promoting Polish literature abroad. The co- organizer of the festival is the Head of the Slavic Department at University of Illinois at Chicago, Professor Michal Pawel Markowski, who represents also the Polish Interdisciplinary Program at UIC supported by The Hejna Fund, and also serves as the artistic director to the Conrad Festival.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION “We were taught as children”—I was told by a seventy- year-old Pole—“that we Poles never harmed anyone. A partial abandonment of this morally comfortable position is very, very difficult for me.” —Helga Hirsch, a German journalist, in Polityka, 24 February 2001 HE COMPLEX and often acrimonious debate about the charac- ter and significance of the massacre of the Jewish population of T the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941—a debate provoked by the publication of Jan Gross’s Sa˛siedzi: Historia za- głady z˙ydowskiego miasteczka (Sejny, 2000) and its English translation Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001)—is part of a much wider argument about the totali- tarian experience of Europe in the twentieth century. This controversy reflects the growing preoccupation with the issue of collective memory, which Henri Rousso has characterized as a central “value” reflecting the spirit of our time.1 One key element in the understanding of collec- tive memory is the “dark past” of nations—those aspects of the na- tional past that provoke shame, guilt, and regret; this past needs to be integrated into the national collective identity, which itself is continu- ally being reformulated.2 In this sense, memory has to be understood as a public discourse that helps to build group identity and is inevita- bly entangled in a relationship of mutual dependence with other iden- tity-building processes.

  • I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE the Manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and His Book Collection Have Not Been Deprived of the Attention of Polish Scholaraship
    ORGANON 26-27:1997-1998 AUTEURS ET PROBLEMES Tomasz Strzembosz (Poland) JAN STRZEMBOSZ (1545-1606) HIS MANUSCRIPT AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and his book collection have not been deprived of the attention of Polish scholaraship. The manuscript has been studied by Witold Rubczynski (1922), who, as Aleksander Birken- majer observed, "knew very little about its author". In fact his knowledge was "less than very little". The book collection has received the scholarly regard of many others, writing at diverse times. But none of it has amounted to more than just brief notes, not providing much information about the library collection and its history, and next to none about its original owner. Today, in an age marked by a heightened interest in the Renaissance, Strzem­ bosz’ valuable bibliophile bequest is a worthy subject for academic attention, while the life and achievements of the enlightened and public-spirited col­ lector who endowed us with it merit a few moments of notice. A compilation of the facts published earlier and more recently with the material preserved in the archives and collected still before the Second World War, which has fortunately managed to survive that War, will help to give us a fuller picture of the figure of Jan Strzembosz. In 1538 at Opoczno (now Central Poland), on a date recorded as "f. 5 post Conductum Paschae" the Strzembosz brothers, Mikołaj, the Reverend Andrzej, Derstaw, and Ambroży, sons of Jan Strzembosz of Jablonica and Wieniawa, and later of Dunajewice and Skrzyńsko, Justice of the Borough of Radom1, and Owka (Eufemia), daughter of Dersław Dunin of Smogorze- wo, Lord Crown Treasurer, and Małgorzata of Przysucha, concluded an act for the distribution of the patrimonial and maternal property left to them.

  • The Grand Duchy of Lithuania As a Successor of Rome in the Early
    Open Political Science, 2018; 1: 170–181 Research Article Joanna Orzeł* From imagination to political reality? The Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a successor of Rome in the early modern historiography (15th–18th centuries)# https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2018-0015 received December 17, 2018; accepted December 31, 2018. Abstract: At the beginning of the Renaissance Lithuanians understood that to join the civilization of Western Europe, it was necessary to have an appropriate (it means: very long) tradition. Like other countries, they had to create their own myth of origin. The most prestigious tradition was Greek-Roman antiquity, so the country’s origin story was invented, claiming its people descended directly from Rome. According to subsequent chronicles, the founder of the new state was Palemon (Publius Libon, initially Vilia). Using the theory of cultural memory of Jan and Aleida Assmann, the article presents how and why the Lithuanian myth of origin was transformed from 15th to the end of the 18th century. Particular attention was paid to the current needs of the state and the powerful noble families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which also found their origins in the state myth. During the early modern period, the changes in the story were made (including the date of Palemon’s arrival in the Lithuanian lands). Nonetheless, the myth was not questioned for a long time. Even once it had already been established that it was no more than a fairy tale, the story was revived again, performing other functions in the 19th century. Keywords: cultural memory; foundation myth; mythical genealogy; Palemon; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; Polish- Lithuanian historiography; Greco-Roman antiquity in early modern period.

  • POLES and JEWS TODAY Madeline G. Levine "Everyone Knows That Poles Imbibe Anti~Semitism with Their M
    WRESTLING WITH GHOSTS: POLES AND JEWS TODAY Madeline G. Levine "Everyone knows that Poles imbibe anti~Semitism with their mothers' milk." '1t's a well-known fact that those who accuse Poles of anti-Semitism are enemies of Poland." Everyone who has spent any time talking to Poles and Jews about the relations between them has heard some version of the sentiments paraphrased in these two comments. Even though Jews and Poles no longer live together in Poland, the simple phrase "Poles and Jews" evokes powerful emotions. Jews have bitter memories of friction and conflict, of being despised and threatened by Poles. Distrust of and dislike of Poles is handed down within the culture; most Jews today have had no personal experience of living among Poles. In contrast, when challenged to think about Polish-Jewish relations, Poles are quite likely to recall the good old days before the Nazis came when Poles and Jews got along very well with each other. But this sentimental memory is often linked with a sense of betrayal; since Jewish-Polish relations are remembered as good, Jewish accusations of Polish anti-Semitism are perceived as base ingratitude, if not treachery. In the ethnic cauldron that is Eastern Europe, there is nothing unusual about the historic frictions between Poles and Jews, for there can be little doubt that intense ethnic animosity is one of the principal features of the region. To be sure, Eastern Europe is not unique in this regard Ethnic conflict is a universal phenomenon, emerging from a tangled web of linguistic, religious, economic, and (broadly defined) cultural differences.

  • Non De Fide, Sed De Securitate Pacis.1 Faith and Politics in the Views of Protestants in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1631‑32
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Urszula Augustyniak (Warsaw) Non de Fide, Sed de Securitate Pacis.1 Faith and Politics in the Views of Protestants in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1631‑32 Traditionally, political views of Polish Protestants are investigated in the context of struggle for the so‑called religious tolerance, although at the time the Warsaw Confederation was regarded not as an ‘edict of tolera‑ tion’ but a guarantee of estate privileges and a principle of the political system of the Commonwealth. Mirosław Korolko’s analysis of political arguments used in the controversy over the Confederation2 – on a par with denominational, historiosophical, legal and socio‑economic argu‑ mentation – does not explain the relation between propaganda activity and actual attitudes of Protestants as citizens. Different from Catholic, the views of Polish and Lithuanian Protes‑ tants on the relationship between religion and politics – for instance, on the genesis of monarchical power and its obligations towards the state, the subordination of the clergy to general laws, the right of the subjects to resist edicts in conflict with the laws of God – were the result of doctrinal premises formulated in the twentieth chapter of John Calvin’s Institutio religionis christianae3 and in the Sandomierz 1 A.
