Podstawowe informacje o stronie Adres strony to solaris.lem.pl. Obszerność strony internetowej jednak, a właściwie całego „serwisu internetowego poświęconego twórczości Stanisława Lema”, wykracza poza ramy samego adresu. Pod oficjalny adres, za pomocą hiperłączy, są podpięte inne formy, a właściwie formuły aktywności internetowej. Hiperłącza to, najprościej ujmując, odnośniki sformułowane jako tekst do kliknięcia kursorem. Odnośnik na jednej stronie lub podstronie odsyła internautę do innej strony lub podstrony. Oto zrzut ekranu samego szablonu głównej strony. Główna strona powitalna dla nowo przybyłego internauty wygląda jak na ilustracji numer 1. Zgodnie z powyższą ilustracją „serwis poświęcony twórczości Stanisława Lema” jest rozbudowany i panoramiczny. Według typologii gatunków stron internetowych pisarzy dokonanej przez Macieja Maryla jest to wortal1. Wortal, według definicji badacza, to horyzontalna wersja portalu, również zorientowana na umieszczenie w swoim obrębie (strony) możliwie dużej ilości informacji na ekranie. Centralną część strony zajmuje blog, tworzony przez ciąg wpisów, umieszczanych achronologicznie2. Mimo to, jak wyniknie z przedstawiania menu strony (solaris.lem.pl) mechanizm jego funkcjonowania jest daleki od formuły klasycznego bloga. Zawiera w sobie też podstrony statyczne – kalendarium3, pomagające zorientować się w chronologii dokonań pisarza. Dzięki temu efekt tzw. spłaszczenia perspektywy historycznej, o czym wspominał Mirosław Filiciak, nie jest całkowity4. Posiadanie wiedzy na temat chronologii utworów pomaga w ich rozumieniu, stąd ich umieszczenie na stronie wydaje się ważne i wpływa ono na odbiór prozy pisarza. Wiedza ta pozwala w gąszczu informacji zawartych na stronie odnaleźć te, które są potrzebne użytkownikowi w danym momencie5. 1 M. Maryl, Konwergencja i komunikacja.

  • Introduction to "Solaris" Translated from Polish by Lech Keller Stanislaw Lem Is Unquestionably One of the Greatest Authors of SF in the Global History of This Genre
    Acta Polonica Monashiensis Volume 2 Number 2 December 2002 Wojciech Kajtoch Introduction to "Solaris" Translated from Polish by Lech Keller Stanislaw Lem is unquestionably one of the greatest authors of SF in the global history of this genre. Thus inclusion of his works to the reading list1 is certainly a gesture, which acknowledges the reality. One could also regard this inclusion as an ennoblement of a genre, so far virtually ignored by the school administration because of its "lowly" origin (i.e. Verne's fantastic novels, targeted mostly for young people, and American "pulp" SF magazines of the 1930s). There are also different claims, namely that "Solaris" (and this novel is virtually unanimously regarded as the best work of Lem, the work, which introduced his works to the list of "must-read" books), is not really SF. The main reason is that "Solaris" can be read and interpreted as a psychological novel, thus in this context Lem is a "real", i.e. "mainstream" writer, actually not much interested in science and technology. In short: Lem is strictly speaking a "high brow" writer, rather than a "lowly" SF writer. It should be also noted the lack of regard to the cultural background (or its arbitrary selection), which was frequent in the interpretation of the post-Second World War literature, and common in the Polish secondary schools habit of reading every literary text as a direct reflection and appraisal of the real world. This way we have compiled a catalogue of the dangers threatening analysis of "Solaris', as it is done at the classes of Polish literature.

  • Questioning the Techno-Savior
    Questioning the Techno-Savior: Interpreting the Effects of Techno-Scientific Expansionism on Twentieth-Century Poland Through the Fiction of Stanislaw Lem Melika Hadziomerovic College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Florida This project examines the fiction of Poland’s most renowned science fiction author, Stanislaw Lem, in order to gain a broader understanding of his interpretations of scientific modernity and technology. It argues that Lem focuses on the ideological properties of modernity in the twentieth century. Lastly, it further relates Poland’s exposure to the techno-scientific regimes of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to the genealogy of science fiction in order to gain a better understanding of Lem’s fiction. An inherent assumption of scientific modernity is that vulnerability to imperialistic fervor and its universalizing technology functions in the best and planned interests of approach to human experience. humanity. However, breakthroughs in the field also Lem’s admitted attempts to “reconcile the contradictory tellingly lead to dominion over natural and social orders. elements of realism and fantasy” suggest that a historical- This can be seen in the use of military technology during cultural analysis of his work is appropriate (“Reflections” the twentieth century that has complicated both the 1). We can think of Lem’s fiction as symbolizing historical assumption that scientific mastery always benefits events just as trauma memories (following Freud’s humanity, and the conviction that an invention’s design interpretations) fictionalize events in the traumatized equals its practical implementation. How, then, do cultures psyche. Furthermore, Lem’s intellectual fascination with forcefully introduced to scientific modernity through the hard sciences (both biological and physical) drives him military aggression interpret its instruments? Further, what to analyze the nature of technologically driven regimes and insights do the literary artifacts that discuss and/or human nature empirically.

(Rosenbaum 1990, 60) Rosenbaum suggests that while the film is denying our archetypal space travel, the main concern is the psychological investigation of Kris Kelvin, while trying to rediscover a lost humanity in the face of technology and science. (Duffy 2003) As Tarkovsky noted, ”l am interested above all in the character who is capable of sacrificing himself and his way of life - regardless of whether that sacrifice is made in the name of spiritual values, or for the sake of someone else, or of his own salvation, or of all these things together.” (Andrey Tarkovsky 1996, 217) Andrew Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) film can also be approached through the philosophy of mind, of key questions in this area.

  • In-Situ Observation of Abstract Production Rate

In the ARPES studies carried out for crystals with Sn composition of x=0.23 in the synchrotron laboratory MAX-lab, Lund, Sweden and in the photoelectron spectroscopy laboratory of KTH, Kista, Sweden the band inversion was achieved at TC = 150 K. Below the inversion temperature one observed the formation of topological states with Dirac-like energy dispersion and Figure 1. A monocrystal of Pb0.77Sn0.23Se obtained by the Dirac cone centered in the vicinity of the X point of the self-selecting vapour growth method. the surface Brillouin zone [3]. Thus, the presence of the gapless Dirac-like states on the surface of Pb1-xSnxSe The existence of topologically protected surface proved that this narrow-gap semiconducting solid states with the Dirac-like dispersion on the (100) surface solution belongs to the new class of TCI. of Pb1-xSnxSe monocrystals has been recently proven by the angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments [1]. The discovery of new quantum materials – topological insulators (TI) (one of the most important recent developments in condensed-matter physics) showed that time-reversal symmetry and strong relativistic (spin-orbit) effects led to presence of metallic helical Dirac-like electronic states on surfaces of some particular crystals, like Bi2Te3 or Bi2Se3.The further theoretical developments in analysis of conditions necessary for occurrence of particular properties characteristic of TI led to widening the class of suitable materials by topological crystalline insulators (TCI), in which specific crystalline symmetries warrant the topological protection of metallic surface states [2,3].

Osadnik Redaktorzy naukowi Romuald Cudak, Wioletta Hajduk-Gawron, Jolanta Tambor Stanisław Lem to jeden z najbardziej znanych i najczęściej tłumaczonych polskich pisarzy na świe- cie. Urodził się w 1921 roku we Lwowie, zmarł w 2006 roku w Krakowie. Był pisarzem, futurologiem, eseistą, filozofem, myślicielem, wspaniałym, mądrym człowie- kiem. We Lwowie rozpoczął studia medyczne, kontynuował je na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w Krakowie, dokąd rodzina przeniosła się w ramach repatriacji. W 1948 roku uzyskał absolutorium, ale nigdy nie został leka- rzem. Miasto jego młodości, Lwów, znalazło swoje miej- sce w autobiograficznej książce Wysoki zamek. Zadebiutował w 1951 roku powieścią Astronauci. Utwory z gatunku science fiction zajmują najwięcej miejsca w jego twórczości. Takie dzieła, jak „Niezwycię- żony”, Powrót z gwiazd, Fiasko, Pokój na ziemi, Eden są znane fanom SF na całym świecie. Jednak najwięk- szą sławę przyniosła mu powieść Solaris, dwukrotnie filmowana: przez Andrzeja Tarkowskiego w 1972 roku (ZSRR) oraz przez Stevena Soderbergha w 2002 roku (USA, z Georgem Clooneyem w roli głównej).

  • Your Lyceum Season for 2019/20
    HELLO AND WELCOME TO YOUR LYCEUM SEASON FOR 2019/20 here’s a moment in Solaris, our opening show of the season, when Tan alien consciousness who has taken human form ruminates on the strange beauty of skin. This carapace which separates us from the rest of the world, but also allows us to experience touch. In this time of division reaching out and connecting with others is more vital than ever. This season all our shows speak to what divides and what unites us – how each of us become ‘we’. The season brings new voices and perspectives to our stage, whether they be from the barber shops of Nigeria, the invisible below-stairs world of a Jane Austen novel, or behind the walls of an infamous psychiatric hospital. We ask who are we and what can bring us together - it could be love, books, music, faith or ideas. Exploring these questions we can promise you, our theatrical community of Season Ticket Holders, a year full of pleasure and joy, wee delights and big questions, a shared experience in a fractured landscape.

The series provides a forum for introducing a broad spectrum of directors, working in and establishing movements, trends, cycles, and genres including those historical, currently popular, or emergent, and in need of critical assessment or reassessment. It ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or outside of the studio system—beginning with the origins of cinema and up to the present.
