Although the summit caused inconveniences for the residents of Lviv, they were satisfied that their city had hosted the international event held May 14-15. “Lviv has never looked this beauti- ful, at least not to those living there today,” wrote Vasyl Basiv in a com- mentary on the summit in the Lviv- based weekly newspaper Ukrainskyi Shliakh on May 13. City officials hope that, in light of the successful summit, the more than 1,000 European bureaucrats and 350 journalists who attended will carry the news of the beauty and friendliness of the city back to their countries, which in turn could generate new business interest and investments in Lviv.

    Poland Through Film EUS 3930 Section 0998 PLT 3930 Section 15EH EUH3931 Section 2H89 Dr. Jack J. B. Hutchens Turlington Hall 2341 Tuesdays: 3-4:55 Thursdays: 4:05-4:55 Poland Through Movies is an introductory survey of more than one thousand years of Polish history, illustrated on film. Poland’s contribution to world cinema has been immense. This class offers an examination of the chief currents of modern Polish film, including, but not limited to, the cinema of “the Polish School” of the 1950s and 60s, the works of experimental and avant- garde auteurs, satires and parodies of the late-socialist period, historical “great canvas” films, as well as more recent work that addresses the dramas, desires, and discontents of political transition and the realities of post-communist society. We will discuss the ways Polish filmmakers have represented Polish history, and how they have “read” history through their work. We will consider Polish cinema within the context of both Western European film and film production in the Soviet Bloc. A main focus will be on the oeuvre of Poland’s most recognized and prodigious filmmakers, including Wajda, Kieslowski, Ford, Polanski, Holland, Zanussi, and Hoffman, as well as on the work of “Wajda’s children” – the newest generation of filmmakers. Class time will consist of lecture & discussion, viewings, and class presentations. Required Texts: -Haltof, Marek. Polish National Cinema (paperback).

HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ Ogniem i mieczem TOM II Pewne pogodne nocy na prawym brzegu Waładynki¹ posuwał się w kierunku Dniestru orszak eźdźców złożony z kilkunastu ludzi. Szli bardzo wolno, prawie noga za nogą. Na samym przedzie, o kilkadziesiąt kroków przed innymi, echało dwóch akoby w przednie straży, ale widocznie nie mieli żadnego do strażowania i czuności powodu, bo przez cały czas rozmawiali ze sobą, zamiast da- wać baczenie na okolicę — i zatrzymuąc co chwila konie, oglądali się na resztę orszaku, a wówczas eden z nich wołał: — Pomału tam! pomału! I orszak zwalniał eszcze kroku, zaledwie posuwaąc się naprzód. Na koniec wysunąwszy się zza wzgórza, które osłaniało go swym cieniem, orszak ów wszedł na przestwór oblany światłem księżyca i wtedy to można było zrozumieć ostrożność pochodu: oto w środku karawany idące obok siebie dwa konie dźwigały przywiązaną do siodełek kołyskę, w kołysce zaś leżała akaś postać. Srebrne promienie oświecały bladą e twarz i zamknięte oczy. Za kołyską echało dziesięciu zbronych. Po spisach bez proporców można w nich było poznać Kozaków. Niektórzy prowadzili konie uczne, inni echali luzem, ale o ile dwa adący na przedzie zdawali się nie zwracać namniesze uwagi na okolicę, o tyle ci oglądali się niespokonie i trwożliwie na wszystkie strony. A ednak okolica zdawała się być zupełną pustynią. Ciszę przerywały tylko uderzenia kopyt końskich i wołanie ednego z dwóch adących na przedzie eźdźców, który od czasu do czasu powtarzał swą przestrogę: — Pomału! Ostrożnie! Na koniec zwrócił się do swego towarzysza.

Jak ten fragment staropolskiej kultury militarnej przejawia się w kulturze wysokiej i kulturze masowej; w świecie filmu, w przestrzeni miejskiej, w obrazach i numizmatyce; a jak manifestuje się w obszarze kultywowanych dzisiaj sztuk walki? Metoda. Odpowiedzi zostaną sformułowane na podstawie analizy 30 wybranych dzieł sztuki, dóbr lub artefaktów kulturowych oraz zilustrowane na przykładach. Wśród przykładów znajdują się filmy polskiej kinematografii (Krzyżacy, Potop, Hubal i inne), seria pamiątkowych medali oraz obrazy wybitnych polskich malarzy, które zainspirowały autorów tych medali. Są to więc zarówno wielkie dzieła malarskie wybitnych twórców (Jan Matejko, Wojciech Kossak etc.), pomniki i ob- razy filmowe, jak i małe formy graficzne (monety, medale). Wyniki i wnioski. Ta prapolska tradycja kultury militarnej przejawia się do dziś w kulturze wy- sokiej (malarstwo, literatura) i kulturze masowej (filmy, piosenki), w przestrzeni miejskiej (po- mniki), w dziełach sztuki medalierskiej.

  • Elucidating the Blurred Lines of the National Historical Imagination. the Narrative Allure of Sienkiewicz’S with Fire and Sword in 1933–1934 Poland
    Elucidating the blurred lines of the national historical imagination. The narrative allure of Sienkiewicz’s With Fire and Sword in 1933–1934 Poland Estelle BUNOUT Postdoctoral researcher Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), Université du Luxembourg (LU) [email protected] Abstract The novel With Fire and Sword by Henry Sienkiewicz (1846–1916) is an example of the interweaving of fiction, historiography and national collective imagination. It was written at the end of the period of Polish partition (1882–1888) and deals with events that marked the history and the collective imaginations of Poles, Ukrainians and Jews: the history of the Khmel’nyts’kyy Uprising (1648–1657). The epic nature of these historical events already carried the seeds of a powerful and emotional narrative that lends itself to mythicization. However, the reading of this book in a later situation, the Second Polish Republic (1921–1939), led the Polish Sanacja government to withdraw it from the compulsory reading in Polish schools in 1932. This aspect of the Jędrzejewicz school reform sparked a lively debate in the Polish press, whereby historians, literature scholars and journalists discussed the function that this book should have in the patriotic education of young Polish citizens, against the backdrop of tensions between the state and the political opposition on the issue of minorities, namely the Ukrainian minority. This discussion discloses the central place that Sienkiewicz has been given in Polish culture. At the same time, it examines the position that Polish intellectuals attribute to the Ukrainian minority in the Polish state and culture. Keywords: Sienkiewicz, Second Polish Republic, Ukrainian minority, school reform.

Associate Professor of History, Morehead State University, Kentucky, USA e-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0001-7831-1560 THE 1649 BATTLEFIELD OF ZBORIV: IDENTIFICATION OF PLACE AND PLANNING RECONSTRUCTION © Mandzy A. O.2019 In 2001, dr. A. Mandzy, working with scholars in both Poland and Ukraine, initiated the Cossack Battlefield Commission to explore and study Cossack battlefields. The battlef ield near Zboriv 1649 was chosen as the object of survey. Much like previous excavations at the Berestechko Battlefield, the Zboriv project made heavy use of historical records, cartographic evidence and archaeological fields testing methods. Beginning in 2002, the group of researches, working under promotion dr. Mandzy in conjunction with the I. Kryp’iakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies and Department of Architecture and Conservation of Lviv Polytechnic University, the regional power of preservation of historical and cultural monuments for the Ternopil Oblast, began a joint survey, the purpose of which was identifying any possible remaining cultural resources associated with the military events of 1649. Material of this survey was the basis for hypothetical planning reconstruction of 1649 field fortifications lines. Keywords: town of Zboriv, battlefield, Cossack and Polish Army, 17 th century, hypothetical reconstruction, field fortification. Introduction. The Battle of Zboriv is one of the major events in Ukrainian and Polish history. Following two days of bitter fighting, the battle came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Zboriv. This Treaty recognized the de facto autonomy of three Ukrainian provinces and established an independent Ukrainian Cossack principality.

Likewise, the German crusaders were ultimately unsuc- cessful in their state-building enterprise. In the fourteenth century they had become a lethal threat to the Lithuanian Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Poland. 1. The simultaneous union formation The Polish-Lithuanian personal union under Władysław Jagiełło, which was forged in 1385/86 when Rex Poloniae, (i.e., she held the throne; as a female she would otherwise have been called Regina) the young Jadwiga, daughter of king Louis of Anjou of Hungary, who was also of Piast ancestry, mar- ried the Grand Duke of Lithuania, was directed against the Teutonic Order. The latter’s defeat at the hands of Władysław and his relative, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, in 1410 was the beginning of its demise. In the northern part of the Baltic Region, parallel to developments on the Polish-German front, the Kalmar Union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in 1397 was established with the aim of contesting the commercial hegemony of the Hansa. Thus at the end of the fourteenth century, inter- national politics in the Baltic Region saw the emergence of a Central European empire in the southern part and a Scandinavian empire in the north.
