In former times, there was a special " Bread of the Dead” baked. A meal of remembrance was held to unite families spiritually with their deceased loved ones. Places were set for the deceased and food served in their honor. Leftovers and loaves of fresh bread were distributed to beggars (dziady), who gathered at cemeteries to pray for and honor the dead.

Cemeteries are crowded, often through the night, as the faithful keep vigil. Quiet prayerfulness and flicker- ing candles dramatize more than pious wishes for the dead, they are symbols of a love that is “as stern as death… its flames … a blazing fire.” As we honor our beloved dead as Catholic Christians, common faith strengthens us.

Wg Słownika etnologicznego tradycja to: dobra kulturowe przekazywane w czasie (również w przestrzeni), przejmowane i wartościowane (...). tradycja jest przekazywana od pokolenia starszego do młodszego, od ustępujących do bezpośrednio po nich następujących (…) Konieczne są co najmniej dwa przekazy dóbr kulturowych, w których uczestniczą trzy generacje, aby móc te dobra uznać za tradycję (...) Główną jej (funkcją– KG) jest wskazana już transmisja, dzięki której społeczeństwa nie muszą już tworzyć wszystkiego od początku i mogą dysponować potencjałem stworzonym przez poprzednie pokolenia. Ponadto tradycja dostarcza systemowi społeczno‐kulturowemu niezbędnej dozy stabilizacji oraz stanowi ważną podstawę integracji, identyfikacji i poczucia wartości własnej grupy (…) Tradycja polega bowiem zarówno na bezrefleksyjnych, jak i refleksyjnych zachowaniach i postawach, a o ich rezultacie decyduje całość procesu kulturowego.

  • Summary Russia of Adam Mickiewicz and His Polish and Russian Friends
    Summary Russia of Adam Mickiewicz and his Polish and Russian friends Spatial imagology, dealing with descriptions of places in various cultural texts is a very important aspect in contemporary humanities. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to analyse the ways of creating the image of Russia in the 3rd part of Dziady and in the records of Adam Mickiewicz’s friends – philomaths and decembrists. The first chapter of the thesis discusses the strategies of description of the Russian Empire in Ustęp by Mickiewicz. The main point of the analysis are the relations between the work by the Polish poet and Russian presentations of Saint Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo. The thesis also refers to unique observations that can be found in the La Russie en 1839 memoir by Marquis de Custine. The chapter begins with an analysis of spatial representations included in the “Road to Russia”– of a path, ocean and desert – and the basic features of the presented space: boundlessness and nondescriptiveness. This part of the thesis discusses the techniques Mickiewicz used to create landscapes (e.g. siberization of the western areas of Russia) and their symbolization. The analysis continues with a comparison of the text by Mickiewicz with the perception of the tsar and Petersburg in the Russian culture. Several motifs that accompany the descriptions of the urban space are mentioned: the motif of artificiality, ruins, mud, phantasmagoria, cities-lookalikes, theatre, army, animals etc. The chapter ends with a discussion on the strategies of description of the flood of 7/19 November 1824, which constitutes the last fragment of Ustęp – The Day before the Flood in St.

  • Timeline of Accidents
    EVENTS WE MAYBE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING1 Let’s do some thinking about Thoreau’s accidents. Weren’t there an unusual number of accidents in this particular person’s life? As a toddler, in a backyard incident, he had chopped off his own right big toe with the help of the kindling hatchet. As a young man, he had helped a buddy set a fire in a stump to cook their fish, and the conflagration that resulted burned over an entire section of Concord’s woodlots. While living in his shanty on the pond, he badly strained his torso muscles in avoiding the kick of a horse. Then he waded out toward Clark’s Island in Boston Harbor and was almost caught and carried away as the tide came in; had he not been rescued by a passing fisherman in a rowboat, our guy would surely have drowned. Are there other occasions I haven’t taken into consideration? Over and above what was happening to him personally, there was what was going on around him. During his lifetime there was the wreck of an Irish immigrant vessel on the rocks off Cape Cod, described in CAPE COD, and there was the wreck of the vessel carrying Margaret Fuller in the surf of Fire Island, and there was the shattering explosion of a powder mill near Concord with blackened human body parts being pulled down from the branches of the surrounding trees, and there were the people riding near Concord, backwards atop the train, who got their brains batted out against a low bridge beam, and there was a fire aboard an excursion boat that destroyed the lives of several people he knew — and so on and so forth.

  • The Post-Traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews
    The Post-traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews “A brilliant cross-disciplinary comparative analysis that joins a new path in theatre studies, revitalizing the artistic heritage of two great twentieth-century masters: Tadeusz Kantor and Jerzy Grotowski.” —Professor Antonio Attisani, Department of Humanities, University of Turin “Among the landmarks of postwar avant-garde theatre, two Polish works stand out: Grotowski’s Akropolis and Kantor’s Dead Class. Magda Romanska scrupulously corrects misconceptions about these crucial works, bringing to light linguistic elements ignored by Anglophone critics and an intense engagement with the Holocaust very often overlooked by their Polish counterparts. This is vital and magnificently researched theatre scholarship, at once alert to history and to formal experiment. Romanska makes two pieces readers may think they know newly and urgently legible.” —Martin Harries, author of “Forgetting Lot’s Wife: On Destructive Spectatorship,” University of California, Irvine “As someone who teaches and researches in the areas of Polish film and theatre – and European theatre/theatre practice/translation more broadly – I was riveted by the book. I couldn’t put it down. There is no such extensive comparative study of the work of the two practitioners that offers a sustained and convincing argument for this. The book is ‘leading edge.’ Romanska has the linguistic and critical skills to develop the arguments in question and the political contexts are in general traced at an extremely sophisticated level. This is what lends the writing its dynamism.” —Dr Teresa Murjas, Director of Postgraduate Research, Department of Film, Theatre and Television, University of Reading “This is a lucidly and even beautifully written book that convincingly argues for a historically and culturally contextualized understanding of Grotowski’s and Kantor’s performances.

  • Dziady Directed by Kazimierz Dejmek – an Attempt at Demythologisation
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTERARIA POLONICA 6(44) 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.44.05 Natalia Popłonikowska* Dziady directed by Kazimierz Dejmek – an attempt at demythologisation On 25 November 1967 in the National Theatre in Warsaw one of the most im- portant theatre premières in Polish history took place: Dziady (Forefathers’ Eve) directed by Kazimierz Dejmek. Through staging Dziady: Part III the Ministry of Culture and Art wanted to celebrate the October Revolution. That decision proved to be a failure on the part of the authorities, but most of all it was one of the fac- tors which spurred demonstrations and strikes. The removal of the play from the repertoire was one of the indirect causes of the events March of the following year. It is noteworthy that the director, having anticipated the possible consequ- ences of staging Dziady, decided to move the première from the 7th to the 25th of November. During rehearsals, the actors did not feel the play was supposed to provoke anyone to any demonst rations, but the growing politics-based social unrest caused some anxiety amongst them as well.1 Less than a month after the première, the play was cancelled due to the illness of the lead actor: Gustaw Holoubek. The actor’s health problems caused speculation that the play was inconvenient for the authorities due to its anti-Soviet nature. To- day, one could refer to such a situation as a marketing strategy, since the cancelling of the play and the related rumours resulted in increased attendance. The spirit of Romanticism was reborn in Poles.

  • Kartka Z Kalendarza: Halloween Po Podlasku
    Kartka z kalendarza: Halloween po podlasku... Obrzęd Dziadów Ciemno wszędzie, głucho wszędzie… Surowy listopadowy krajobraz okryty rankiem mlecznobiałą rosą, zaś wieczorem – spowity gęstą mgłą zdaje się skrywać jakaś tajemnicę. Zamierająca przyroda odsłania niewidoczną bramę łączą dwa światy – żywych i umarłych. Wiara w nadnaturalne spotkania przetrwała wieki – jej pokłosiem są współczesne Zaduszki – w kościele katolickim oraz Dymitryjewska Sobota obchodzona przez cerkiew. Usiądź wygodnie Czytelniku i wsłuchaj się w opowieść o tradycjach tak starych, jak żywa jest pamięć ludzka... Gdy opadają ostatnie liście z drzew, a świat okrywa się smutkiem i pustką, tradycja podpowiadała ludziom, że aura ta nie jest dziełem przypadku. Wówczas, gdy melancholijne wieczory wydłużają się, a księżycowa latarnia świeci pełnym blaskiem, świat staje się sceną dziwów i czarów. W tradycji ludowej wierzono, że przesilenie jesienne to czas, gdy zmarłe dusze odwiedzają swoich bliskich. Ta sama tradycja nakazywała uszanować pamięć o zmarłych krewnych, stąd na przełom października i listopada kultywowano zwyczaj zwany Dziadami (w mitologii słowiańskiej, zwłaszcza polskiej i białoruskiej, słowo dziady oprócz samego święta oznaczało duchy przodków). Historia obrzędów sięga prasłowiańskich czasów, przetrwała w nieco zmienionej formie - na Podlasiu zwyczaj ten obchodzono w Dymitryjewską Sobotę, przypadającą zawsze w ostatnią sobotę przed dniem św. Dymitra. Odprawiane wówczas obrzędy miały zapewnić przychylność i opiekę przodków, jednocześnie pomagały duszom w osiągnięciu spokoju w zaświatach. Zgodnie z tradycją w tym czasie najpierw wierni udawali się do cerkwi, gdzie odbywała się panichida (modlitwy za zmarłych), a następnie odwiedzali groby bliskich, pozostawiając żywność oraz rozpalone ognisko. Pozostawione na mogiłach niewielkie ilości miodu, kaszy, chleba, jajek czy maku stanowiły pokarm dla dusz, zaś ogień miał je ogrzać.
