  • Discourse of Heresy in Polish Post-WWII Literature Herlingâ•Žs
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Folia Litteraria Polonica 4(55) 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.55.21 Margreta Grigorowa* https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4416-371X Discourse of heresy in Polish post-WWII literature Herling’s and Herbert’s heretics Heretics, stakes, and inquisitors invaded Polish literature of the second half of the 20th century. That was visible in the outputs of renowned Polish authors who en- dured the apocalypse of World War II and the dictatorships of the last century: Gustaw Herling-Grudziński (1919–2000), a prisoner of the Gulag in Yertsevo, combatant in the Warsaw Uprising, as well as Andrzej Szczypiorski (1928–2000), a prisoner of the Lager in Sachsenhausen, Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998), a young poet in occupied Lviv, or those who survived Soviet occupation, e.g. Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) and Jerzy Andrzejewski (1909–1983). What heretics can be found in their works? Jacques de Molay, a Knight Tem- plar burnt at the stake together with 36 other “relentless brothers”, Albigensians, Cathars, the related Bulgarian Bogomils in Herbert’s essays in the Barbarzyńca w ogrodzie1 volume: Obrona templariuszy and O albigensach, inkwizytorach i tru- badurach. Herling-Grudziński’s short stories featured the heretic Giordano Bruno and his spiritual ally the artist Caravaggio, e.g. in the short story Głęboki cień, the mysterious heretic from Bolsena in the short story Drugie przyjście, and the legendary St. Aaron, a former heretic, stealer of the Host, who by God’s miracle was saved from the stake in the short story Legenda o nawróconym pustelniku. Giordano Bruno was also featured in one of Miłosz’s key poems from 1943 entitled Campo di Fiori (Herling-Grudziński referred to it in his texts on Giordano Bruno), where the historical parallel became vivid during the nightmare with the burning * Professor, University of Veliko Turnovo St Cyril and St.

  • Globalism, Humanitarianism, and the Body in Postcolonial Literature
    Globalism, Humanitarianism, and the Body in Postcolonial Literature By Derek M. Ettensohn M.A., Brown University, 2012 B.A., Haverford College, 2006 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Brown University PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND MAY 2014 © Copyright 2014 by Derek M. Ettensohn This dissertation by Derek M. Ettensohn is accepted in its present form by the Department of English as satisfying the dissertation requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date ___________________ _________________________ Olakunle George, Advisor Recommended to the Graduate Council Date ___________________ _________________________ Timothy Bewes, Reader Date ___________________ _________________________ Ravit Reichman, Reader Approved by the Graduate Council Date ___________________ __________________________________ Peter Weber, Dean of the Graduate School iii Abstract of “Globalism, Humanitarianism, and the Body in Postcolonial Literature” by Derek M. Ettensohn, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2014. This project evaluates the twinned discourses of globalism and humanitarianism through an analysis of the body in the postcolonial novel. In offering celebratory accounts of the promises of globalization, recent movements in critical theory have privileged the cosmopolitan, transnational, and global over the postcolonial. Recognizing the potential pitfalls of globalism, these theorists have often turned to transnational fiction as supplying a corrective dose of humanitarian sentiment that guards a global affective community against the potential exploitations and excesses of neoliberalism. While authors such as Amitav Ghosh, Nuruddin Farah, and Rohinton Mistry have been read in a transnational, cosmopolitan framework––which they have often courted and constructed––I argue that their theorizations of the body contain a critical, postcolonial rejoinder to the liberal humanist tradition that they seek to critique from within.

  • Every Day Is a Fine Day” Calligraphy by Roshi Keido Fukushima from the World Wisdom Online Library: Www
    “Every Day is a Fine Day” Calligraphy by Roshi Keido Fukushima From the World Wisdom online library: www. worldwisdom.com/public/library/default.aspx Every Day is a Fine Day It was a nasty day. It had been raining all day. I had been waiting to play golf all week, and now all plans for golf had to be can­ celled. I was in a bad mood. All I could think of was, “Why did it have to rain today?” Suddenly Gensho walked into the living room, all drenched with rain, and with a big smile shouted, “Every day is a fine day.” I remember that I said nothing to his exuberant comment. On the contrary—I was irritated, think­ ing, “How can it be a fine day when it’s raining cats and dogs and I can’t play golf.” This incident occurred in 1974 at Claremont. Ever since that day, on numerous occasions, I have heard Roshi Keido Fukushima use this phrase—“Every Day is a Fine Day”—in his talks on Zen. Now that I understand the Zen import of this phrase, I have often greeted my students in my classes on a cold, wintry day in Ohio with the remark, “Every day is a fine day.” It presents an opportunity for a good discussion. As for me, I can cancel a tee-time for a golf game without get­ ting a headache. So, what does Zen have to do with the weather? The Roshi explains that it was Ummon (864 - 949 C.E.), a T’ang dynasty Zen master in China, who was fond of using this phrase.

Extending to the whole of the French Caribbean his previous work on the philosophical bases of the Haitian Revolution, Nesbitt has produced the first-ever account of the region’s writing from a consistently philosophical, as distinct from literary or historical, standpoint.’ Professor Celia Britton, University College London. -‘While Nesbitt’s work deals primarily with Caribbean and European political philosophy, his interrogations apply to more far-reaching questions involving the contemporary world order. […] The interrogations that Nesbitt’s work leads us through […] are of utmost currency in our work as scholars of the contemporary world.’ Alessandra Benedicty (CUNY), Contemporary French Civilization 39.3 (2014) -‘The book fills an important gap in francophone Caribbean studies, which […] has not previously been subject to such a rigorously philosophical critical treatment.

His father organised an underground university during World War II and he was a mem- ber of the People’s Army (Armia Ludowa). For his participation in the Warsaw Upris- ing in 1944 he was arrested and detained in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. After the war, he worked for local newspapers and Polish Radio. His first literary produc- tions were released under the pseudonym Maurice St Andrew in Życie Literackie in 1952. After joining the Polish Communist Party in 1956, he worked as cultural attaché in the Polish embassy in Copenhagen and continued to publish feuilletons in numer- ous Polish magazines. He resigned from his membership in the party after the political crisis in 1968. He was forbidden to appear in public in 1969 and his texts were banned from 1972, but he continued writing in the literary underground (drugi obieg), wrote anonymously for opposition newspapers, and started working for the Polish exile monthly Kultura in Paris (Worsowicz, 2003). After his death, the right-wing media in particular discussed the evidence for Szczypiorski being a secret agent for the Polish Security Service in the 1940s (Kruczek, 2007).
