WORKS CITED 386 x To The Lovers’ Of Beauty In An Age Of Vulgarity, Incivility And Aesthetic Ignorance, This Book Is Dedicated xi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book was an outgrowth of our first volume, The Great Polish Walking Dance, published in 1983. The first book began in 1969 as a mere collection of dance steps. As that collection grew, it became necessary to apply analytic principles to the material and also to take a Historical approach. This work continued and expanded into the present new volume. From 1971 to 1977 twenty-five months were spent doing research in Poland. These research trips were funded by the Kościuszko Foundation of New York City and the Polish People via the Polish Government. The author's first researches were done under the auspices of Dr. G. Dąbrowska of the Polish Institute of Arts and Science. In the realm of Stage Dance, words of thanks must be given to the managements of the Wielki Teatr and Operetta of Warszawa and to the Operetta of Kraków. Individual dancers who were helpful were Jan Kliński and Ryszard Krawucki. Special thanks must be given to the choreographer, Witold Gruca, of the Teatr Wielki. Professor Kopyciński of the Polish Character Ballet Company deserves much praise from us, as does Hanna Chojnacka of the State Ballet School of Warszawa. In Kraków thanks are given to Jacek Heczko for both his dance information and friendship. The Polonia Society for Relations Abroad must be cited for providing special assistance in the matter of amateur dance groups and dance courses. Maria Romowicz is to be acknowledged for her help with the dances of the Żywiec area. New researches began on the present volume after 1985 or so and has continued since then. For this a new set of acknowledgments are in order. My special thanks go to Dr. J. Pudełek of Warszawa for placing me in contact with Miss J. Shibilski of Warszawa, Poland who obtained and translated some of my first Russian language sources. Subsequent efforts led to the acquistion of more Russian material. Many libraries, regional and national, throughout Europe supplied me with both primary and secondary source materials. I thank them all. The most important material came from the following institutions: The National Library of Russia, Biblioteka Narodowa of Warszawa, Museum Narodowa of Warszawa, Museum Czartoryski of Kraków, Jagiellonska University Library of Kraków, Staatabibliothek Zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz, New York Public Library, Princeton University Library, Columbia University Library, and the Inter-Library Loan Departments of the Newark Public Library and of Essex County College. Several illustrations came from the library of the Instytut Sztuki Polskiej Akademii Nauk of Warszawa and the Staats-und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden. The Center For Academic Technology of Seton Hall University and the Computer Information Services Department of Essex County College also aided in our work. We are grateful to Dance Horizons Publishing for permission to reproduce part of their edition of Rameau’s, The Dancing Master. Additional interesting material, 19th century German manuals, were donated by R. Powers in 1997 and by Hannahlore Unfried in 2005. It has not always been possible to contact copyright owners in works quoted in the book. We will be pleased to make appropriate acknowledgement in any future edition. 2002 R. Cwieka 5 Manor Drive, 15M Newark, N. J. 07106 U. S. A. ISBN 0-915277-10-7 xii A NOTE TO THE READER The main topic of the book is the Dance and its performance —this is covered in detail. Other considerations such as the Historical Context, clothing styłes, etc., are secondary to the purpose of this book. We have only given mere introductions to these peripheral subjects. Persons interested in further study of these topics will find them readily available elsewhere. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATIONS Many of the illustrations are from the books of the following authors : Banach, Gutkowska- Tychlewska, Łoziński, Rameau, and Turnau. The drawings are those of the present author who wishes your forebearance for their amateur quality. ABOUT THE WORD-PROCESSING Here and there throughtout the text you will come across certain discontinuities, for example, capital letters in Polish where there should be none or excessive page gaps. These are due to using different language softwares, and the author’s lack of word-processing expertise. This does not effect the content. R. Ćwięka-Skrzyniarz xiii ALL QUOTATIONS FROM ORIGINAL SOURCES ARE INDICATED WITH QUOTATION MARKS AND ARE PRINTED IN ITALICS. THE AUTHOR’S TRANSLATIONS ARE NOT. xiv PART I THE HISTORY THE EARLIEST RECORDS The Polonaise is the Queen of Dances or the Dance of Queens. his restatement of what was originally said of the Minuet may be true or it may be false or it may be both. In any case, the reference to Royalty was stated in order to express something Noble or Spiritual about this Dance, the Polonaise—one of the T 1 world’s most Beautiful Social Ballroom Dances. We shall explore the living story of this Dance. This walking-type dance2 is perhaps the best known by the World as having some connection with Poland and or Polish Culture. There are a number of variants that will be distinguished by us. Its most permanent features have been (and still are), a walking done by any number of couples of men and women. As a walking dance, it is usually done at a slow tempo. The attitude of the dancers is one of mutual respect for each other, with the men exhibiting aspects of positive gallantry. About the origin of this dance, it is difficult to speak with absolute certainty. Searching for the early history of this dance two aspects must be considered—records of its music and its choreographic structure.

  • An Imperfect Mirror. the Image of Polonia from Nord-Pas-De-Calais in the “Echo De La Polonia” 1998–2018
    An imperfect mirror. The image of Polonia from Nord-Pas-de-Calais in the “Echo de la Polonia” 1998–2018 IWONA H. PUGACEWICZ KEY WORDS „Echo de la Polonia”, emigration, France, heritage, information centre, journal, Maison de la Polonia, Polish minority, national identity ABSTRACT The article describes the magazine "Echo de la Polonia" on the background of the latest fate of the Polish emigration from northern France. Using the journalistic method, the content of the magazine was analysed in the context of maintaining the Polonia’s cohesion and national identity. The dissertation presents the origins and evolution of the magazine and the environment around it. It shows both the significance and incompatibility of content in relation to real emigration’s problems. It highlights its successes and failures, and the key role of the magazine in maintaining unity of the Polish emigration and emigration heritage registration. On the occasion of celebration of the “Polish year” in Pas-de-Calais region, president of one of the events, standing at the head of the Department, deputy Dominique Dupilet said: “A large part of our community is of Polish origin. We must do everything so that in the year 2100 or 2150, if someone comes here to examine the history of Polish ancestors, he or she finds all of his emigration past preserved”1. Ten years have passed since 2007. And although in December 2012 the Museum in Lens had its loud opening, and was called a second Louvre Museum, and a few months before the former mining area of northern France was inscribed on the list of world natural-cultural heritage, there were no declarations on protection or commemorating Polish contribution to the building of high position of cultural and economic region in the inter-war period.

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • Piastowie I Ekkehardynowie*
    HERBERT LUDAT Piastowie i Ekkehardynowie* Aby głębiej wejrzeć w polityczne stosunki między Łabą, Soławą i Odrą w X w. zwrócić trzeba najpierw uwagę na powiązania genealogiczne między Piastami a Ekkehardynami. Wypada tedy przypomnieć epokowe znaczenie, jakie polska i niemiecka historiografia przypisują wydarzeniom lat 1002-1003 dla ukształtowania stosunków politycznych w Eu­ ropie Środkowej, a także między Polską a Niemcami1. Uwieńczony sukcesem najazd Bolesława Chrobrego na południowy obszar marchii połabskich wczesnym latem 1002 r., który zmusił Henryka II na zjeździe w Merseburgu do nadania w lenno księciu piastow­ skiemu obu Łużyc, a więc z Łużycami Dolnymi i Milskiem, a bratu zamordowanego Ek- keharda — marchii miśnieńskiej, oraz następnie zagarnięcie przez Bolesława władzy w Czechach stanowiły, j ak wiadomo, wstęp do woj en między królem niemieckim a władcą polskim2. O ile jednak przebieg wydarzeń, przynajmniej na obszarze marchii, rysuje się * Publikowany w jubileuszowym roku artykuł nieżyjącego już mediewisty niemieckiego Herberta L u d a t a (wspomnienie o nim: KH t. CI, 1994, s. 118-121) to rozdział trzeci jego szkiców An Elbe und Oder um das Jahr 1000, Köln-W ien 1971, repr. 1995, s. 18-32,109-131, ze skróconym, za zgodą p. Mechtildy Ludatowej, aparatem przypisów. Ukazując układy rodzinne i polityczne Mieszka I i Bolesława Chrobrego z saskim rodem możnowład- czym Ekkehardynów, autor rzuca nowe światło na wydarzenia poprzedzające i towarzyszące spotkaniu Ot­ tona III z władcą polskim w Gnieźnie w marcu 1000 r., oraz na wojny Henryka II z Bolesławem Chrobrym. Rewizja utrwalonego w historiografii rozumienia tych wydarzeń jako konfliktu narodowego pozwala inaczej spojrzeć na rolę, jaką polski książę odegrał na ziemiach między Łabą a Odrą.
