  • 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).

  • Jerzy Jarzębski Science Fiction a Polityka - Wersja Stanisława Lema
    Jerzy Jarzębski Science fiction a polityka - wersja Stanisława Lema Pamiętnik Literacki : czasopismo kwartalne poświęcone historii i krytyce literatury polskiej 74/2, 83-113 1983 Pamiętnik Literacki LXXIV, 1983, z. 2 PL ISSN 0031-0514 JERZY JARZĘBSKI SCIENCE FICTION A POLITYKA — WERSJA STANISŁAWA LEMA Rozpatrywanie wizji politycznych w obrębie literatury science fiction obiecuje na wstępie więcej emocji, niż się w istocie spełnia. Nawet jeśli „politykę” rozumieć będziemy szeroko, jako całą sferę działalności zwią­ zanej z organizacją społeczeństwa, kierowaniem jego wysiłkami, wyty­ czaniem celów, prawodawstwem i egzekucją praw. Autorzy powieści i opowiadań fantastycznych nie kuszą się bowiem zazwyczaj o modelo­ wanie jakichś naprawdę oryginalnych sytuacji społecznych i Lem ma z pewnością rację, narzekając w Fantastyce i futurologii na pozorną je­ dynie odkrywczość przyszłościowych fabuł. Najczęściej odziewają one w nową technologiczną szatę stare wątki literackie lub wizje dobrze zna­ nych mechanizmów rządzenia. Trudno się zatem zgodzić z Verą Graaf, podkreślającą bogactwo fantazji autorów science fiction na tym polu *: „państwo policyjne”, „rządy korporacji”, „imperia”, „kultury plemien­ ne”, „maszyny państwowe” — cóż jest w tym, czego byśmy wcześniej nie znali? Zasługą twórców science fiction zdaje się być tylko odświe­ żenie tła, na którym rozgrywa się odwieczny dramat władzy. Rzecz prosta, sięgając w przyszłość Ziemi lub w kosmiczną przestrzeń autor-fantasta może tam rzutować „poprawiony” wizerunek naszego tu i teraz lub jego wersję skarykaturowaną; odpowiednio stanie więc w rzędzie naśladowców literatury nurtu utopijnego lub antyutopijnego (w dalszym ciągu będę używał na określenie utopii pozytywnej terminu „eutopia”, dla negatywnej rezerwując termin „dystopia”). Związki science fiction z utopią są zresztą dość oczywiste dla badaczy, o czym świadczyć mogą choćby odpowiednie rozdziały w większości dostępnych na naszym ryn­ ku książek o literaturze fantastyczno-naukowej: Very Graaf, Julija Ka- garlickiego, Andrzeja Zgorzelskiego czy wreszcie Stanisława Lema2.

  • Solaris Across Media. Mark Bould. Solaris. BFI Film Classics
    Reviews of Books 113 Emerging from Its Elements: Solaris across Media. Mark Bould. Solaris. BFI Film Classics. Palgrave McMillan: London, 2014. 96 pp. ISBN: 978-1-84- 457805-4. $17.95 pbk. Reviewed by Melody Jue When you walk into an aquarium, you are usually greeted by signs that welcome you to the “alien” realm of the ocean, with its “extraterrestrial” creatures, like the octopus and nautilus. One of the curious things about the ocean planet Solaris—as imagined by Stanislaw Lem and Andrei Tarkovsky—is that it has no indigenous life forms. In both Lem’s 1961 novel and Tarkovsky’s 1972 film, the planet Solaris is one massive ocean body of transient sculptural formations, perhaps sentient on a scale beyond human comprehension. The planet is at once an environment and a subject, presenting particular challenges for thinking about cinematic perception and the genre of sf. Mark Bould’s study of Tarkovsky’s Solaris is a new contribution to BFI’s Film Classics series that engages with the interrelation of environment and subjectivity. Although the book is organized into three chapters (“Sf, Tarkovsky and Lem,” “Solarises,” and “Tarkovsky’s Solaris”), the last chapter on Tarkovsky’s film comprises the majority of the book. Bould carefully recounts the plot of the film, occasionally splicing in forays into production history, literary and cinematic precedents, and full-color film frames. Bould’s Solaris is, in many ways, not simply a study of Tarkovsky’s Solaris, but an additional remediation of the film and novel that stands on its own. What emerges from Bould’s prudent analysis is an environmental sensibility: that the key to interpreting Solaris lies in a cinematic grammar that emerges out of its natural elements.

  • Does the Quality of Interlingual Translation Influence the Quality of the Intersemiotic Translation? on the English Language
    Journal of Language and Cultural Education, 2015, 3(3) ISSN 1339 - 4584 SlovakEdu DOI: 10.1515/jolace - 2015 - 0028 Does the quality of i nt erlingual translation i nfluence the quality of the intersemiotic t ranslation? On the English language film adaptations of S. Lem's The Futurological Congress and Solaris in the light of their translations into English. Agnieszka Majcher Un i wersytet Jana Kochanowskiego, Poland [email protected] Abstract The aim of this paper is to compare two English language film adaptations (by Steven Soderbergh and Ari Folman) with each other and with the books they are base d on. Stanisław Lem’s novels – The Futurological Congress and Solaris – were translated into English and the directors of the films mentioned above were able to work with them. However, while one translation was appreciated by many, including the author of the original, the other one did not get much credit and features many inaccuracies, which will be presented below. The question of how much the quality of tr anslation influences the intersemiotic translation, which adaptation is believed to be, will be examined in the paper. As, according to translation scholars, preliminary interpretation is vital for any translations, it seems justified to state that without being able to refer to the author’s original thoughts the film - makers cannot produce a good adaptation. This will be revised on the basis of comparing examples from the books and films. The analysis will be draw n on an account of translation and film adaptation theories together with the outlining of cultural background for each work.

This article examines one factor among the ways SF^ creates worlds different from our own: the use of personal names to convey information about international, transnational or post-national groups and societies in the future, and the way these names have been or could be rendered in English translation.

Since these names may create translation problems, the purpose of the analysis was primarily to determine the problem-solving techniques used by the translators, Maria Święcicka-Ziemianek and Joel Stern. Another goal was to make an attempt at explaining their translation choices and to determine the impact of these choices on the way in which the equivalents expressed with neologisms perform their naming function and the function through which they create the narrative world in the target text. Therefore, the article lists the possible causes of translation problems evoked by neologisms and presents the characteristics of the analysed names in terms of translation difficulties they may pose. The analytical material is presented taking into account the relationship between neologisms and their equivalents with the accompanying context and/or illustration. The article provides conclusions on the impact of the techniques used and the elements that determined the final shape of equivalents on the way the naming and creative function of authorial neologisms are reflected in the target text.
