  • Jan Michalski Prize 2018
    PRESS RELEASE THE 2018 JAN MICHALSKI PRIZE Montricher, Wednesday, 21st November The 2018 Jan Michalski Prize was awarded to Olga Tokarczuk for her novel The Books of Jacob (Księgi Jakubowe, Wydawnictwo Literackie, 2014) translated from Polish by Maryla Laurent and published in French by Noir sur Blanc entitled Les livres de Jakób. The jury praised: “a work of immense erudition with a powerful epic sweep. The story of Jacob Frank, a fascinating character who actually existed, comes to life through the author’s sharp and poetic pen. He was the founder of a sect of Jewish heretics whose tribulations we follow through two hundred years of Polish history. The thematic richness is impressive. The story of the Frankists, rendered through a series of mythic narratives, is transformed into a universal epic tale of the struggle against rigid thinking, either religious or philosophical, that ostracize and enslave people. An extensive and prolific work that warns against our inability to embrace an environment complex in its diversity, fueling a fanatical sectarianism which ends in disaster. The Books of Jacob, by telling the past with a dazzling virtuosity, helps us to better understand the world in which we live.” The award ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 21st November at 11am at the Jan Michalski Foundation for Literature in Montricher, in Switzerland. Born in 1962 in Sulechów in Poland, Olga Tokarczuk graduated from the University of Warsaw with a degree in psychology and has been writing since 1997. The author of short stories, essays, articles and a rich array of novels, she has been playing an important role in Polish literature: her texts have been adapted to screen and theatre, and awarded prizes, including the most important prize in Poland, Nike, which Olga Tokarczuk won twice.

  • Polish Literature in English Translation 1999–2009
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 24 (2010): 263–290 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.12.014.0576 JOANNA RZEPA POLISH LITERATURE IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION 1999–2009 Abstract: In the period under consideration 265 Polish titles (poetry, drama, prose fi ction, reportage and memoirs) were published in English. Their publishers were mostly academic presses and small independent publishers, often subsidised by the EU or the Polish Book Institute. The analysis of the titles leads to several conclusions. First, the image of Polish literature construed on the basis of the available translations did not refl ect the situation on the Polish book market. The percentage of translated poetry volumes and memoirs devoted to the Holocaust and the Second World War was much higher than the percentage of such titles published in Poland. Second, the beginning of the decade concentrated on classics and memoirs, whereas towards the end of the period more and more contemporary prose titles were being published. Third, the increased interest in Polish prose among the British publishers was not refl ected among their American counterparts. The article is accompanied by a bibliography of English translations of Polish literature published in the years 1999–2009. Keywords: Polish literature in English translation, reception of Polish literature in the United Kingdom and the United States. The 1999–2009 decade can be viewed as a period when Poland drew nearer to West European countries. Among the changes brought about by Poland’s accession to the NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004 we can certainly list the growth in importance of the Polish language (Miodunka 2006).

  • Polish Novel in the 20Th Century
    Agnieszka Izdebska Department of Theory of Literature University of Łódź Polish Novel in the 20th Century This text is not a compendium of knowledge about Polish novel in the 20th century. It is rather a kind of brief guide not only through Pol- ish novel, prose, literature but also through Polish culture of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. My intention is rather to point some phe- nomena, names, books, personalities – not to provide complete (whatever it means) history of Polish novel of that time. The stress is put on two literary periods: the Interwar Years and the contemporary literature in this text. There are few reasons of that. First of all the Interwar Years were the most fruitful ones in Polish history and there were a lot of fabulous figures and texts worth mentioning. Moreover the roots of modern Polish culture, literature and novel itself can be traced in that period. Furthermore, the years after the World War I was the time of emerging of new states in Europe and establishing a new political status quo. So for many readers Polish culture and literature of those times could be easily compared with historical situations of their countries. As far as contemporary Polish literature is concerned, I just find it the most inter- esting for young foreign readers. I also write about Polish popular novels – fantasy literature and detective stories because this kind of reader might become interested. * * * 312 Agnieszka Izdebska In the 20th century realistic novel formula as the only effective one was exhausted. Nobody believed any more that it is a transparent cognitive tool, which could give us the same knowledge about the outside world as scientific research does.

  • Muzeum Pisarza / Henry James: the Writer's Museum
    THEORIA ET HISTORIA SCIENTIARUM, VOL. XIV Ed. Nicolaus Copernicus University 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/ths.2017.014 Henry James – muzeum pisarza / Henry James: The Writer’s Museum. Ed. Mirosława Buchholtz, Dorota Guttfeld and Grzegorz Koneczniak, Litteraria Copernicana 2017 21/1. Pp. 3–292. Versions: print and digital, http://apcz.pl/czasopisma/index.php/LC/issue/ view/990 Abstract. This essay reviews the 2017 issue of Litteraria Copernicana, edited by Mirosława Buchholtz, Dorota Guttfeld, and Grzegorz Koneczniak. The issue, entitled “Henry James: The Writer’s Museum,” contains critical articles, translations, interviews, reviews, and other pieces centered on or connected to James, such as poetry or remembrances by notable scholars. The issue’s main languages are English and Polish, yet some contributions appear in French, German, or Italian. Even though the range of literary forms included—as well as the five languages used—might initially give the impression of a farrago, this international scope is the issue’s strength: it is like a “museum” that contains many diverse exhibits of equally high quality. The articles have been selected carefully for their academic merit; the reviews and translations deal with the latest trends in James scholarship; and the poems, remembrances, and playful pieces serve to entertain Jamesians, both amateur and professional alike. A “must have” for a James lover, the 2017 issue of Litteraria Copernicana is a multifaceted volume, but one in which each side gives off its own impressive luster. Keywords:Henry James; journal; review. The volume of Litteraria Copernicana devoted to Henry James is an our-times, true museum—a collection of wonderful exhibits, interactive and playful, yet equally serious and valuable.

  • All That Jazz. Early Reactions to the Nobel Prize in Literature Awarded to Olga Tokarczuk
    DARIUSZ NOWACKI: Cały ten zgiełk… / All that jazz… 91 doi: 10.31261/PS_P.2020.25.07 POSTSCRIPTUM POLONISTYCZNE, 2020 • 1 (25) ISSN 2353-9844 DARIUSZ NOWACKI https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8274-8845 University of Silesia in Katowice Katowice All that jazz. Early reactions to the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Olga Tokarczuk All that jazz. Early reactions to the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Olga Tokarczuk Abstract: The paper discusses selected reactions to the Nobel Prize for Literature awarded to Olga Tokarczuk. The author focuses on the dispute about the legitimacy and justification of the Swedish Academy’s decision, highlighting the sceptical opinions, in some cases chal- lenging the Academy’s members’ verdict. Referring to a book by James F. English on cultur- al prizes, the author recalls the role of public controversies as an essential tool of influencing the general public. He also compares the situation of two winners of the Nobel Prize in Lit- erature (Olga Tokarczuk – for 2018, Peter Handke – for 2019), announced on the same day. Concluding, the author seeks to present the most important aspects of the dispute on the position and influence of Tokarczuk’s literary output. Key words: Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize in Literature, comments Contrary to the title in a way, I do not intend to talk about “all that jazz” in its entirety here, but rather about what I consider to be its most interest- ing manifestations. I will refer to the multiplicity of voices heard over the two months from the announcement of the Swedish Academy’s verdict (10 October 2019) to the Nobel Prize ceremony (10 December 2019).

  • Somatic Criticism Project
    Cross-Roads. Polish Studies in Culture, 12 Cross-Roads. Polish Studies in Culture, Literary Theory, and History 12 Literary Theory, and History 12 Adam Dziadek Adam Dziadek Somatic Criticism Project Dziadek Adam This book illustrates the problems connected with the body and the sign: the real body and the body of the text, somaticism and semiology (both as a general sign theory and in the medical sense as “symptomatology”). The author seeks to derive a more general principle Somatic Criticism Project from these two words, referring to the representation of experience in different literary texts. If we are talking about the representation of experience, we cannot, by any means, ignore the body that becomes the essential point of reference for human experience. This general principle aims at creating a matter of concept, a somatic criticism project, which is closely related to the issue of rhythm in literary texts − a rhythm understood as an intermediary between the body and the sense of the text. The Author Adam Dziadek is Professor of Literature at the University of Silesia in Katowice. His main research areas are the theory of literature, the history of literature and comparative literature, as well as the translation of scientific texts. He also deals with problems of editing and genetic criticism. He translated, among others, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy into Polish.
