Ignacy Domeyko - Spiritual Bridge Between Poland and Chile IGNACY DOMEYKO - SPIRITUAL BRIDGE BETWEEN POLAND AND CHILE SYMPOSIUM SUMMARY The visit of the representatives of Kraków City Hall and of the Jagiellonian Univer­ sity to Chile took place in 1999 and was the part of Polish Science Days in this country (see: „Jagiellonian University Newsletter”, no 11/1999). The tour gave us an opportu­ nity to visit the House of Domeyko in Santiago and we could also meet Ignacy Domeyko’s granddaughter-Anita Domeyko Alamos de Salazar. The substantial con­ tribution of Ignacy Domeyko to the founding and the development of the Chilean Alma Mater was emphasized during the meeting of Prof. Maria Nowakowska, Vice Rector of the Jagiellonian University with Prof. Luis Riveros Cornejo, Rector of the University of Chile (Universidad de Chile). The visit was an occasion to ponder on the life and output of Ignacy Domeyko as Doctor honoris causa of the Jagiellonian Univer­ sity. The Symposium „Ignacio Domeyko - Doctor honoris causa of the Jagiellonian Uni­ versity” was initially planned as the Polish-Chilean meeting, but it has gradually trans­ formed into the event of international character. The representatives of the main Domeyko family branches met at the Jagiellonian University, on 10th October, 2000. We hosted Mrs Paz Domeyko from Australian branch (Sydney), Mr Andrés Domeyko from American branch (Washington), Mr Pablo Domeyko and his wife Carmen Luisa from Chilean branch (Santiago), Mrs Rita Domeyko from Lithuanian (Vilnius) and Mrs Barbara Domeyko from Polish branch (Opole). On the day preceding the celebration, Prof. Franciszek Ziejka, Rector of the Jagiel­ lonian University and Prof. Maria Nowakowska, Vice Rector of the Jagiellonian Uni­ versity held the meeting with Prof. Luis Riveros Cornejo, Rector of the University of Chile and his wife. Both parties expressed a vivid interest in taking up research co­ operation between our universities when certain conditions are fulfilled. After the inauguration of Symposium by Prof. Maria Nowakowska, we could watch Anita Domeyko de Salazar presenting her address to the participants of the Symposium. The address was filmed by Prof. Zdzisław Jan Ryn a few days before, in Santiago (TV Universidad Católica, Canal 13). The descendants of Ignacy Domeyko regarded Kraków meeting as a wondrous occasion, because it was the first meeting attended by the representatives of all branches of the rich genealogical tree. 196 ARTYKUŁY The scientific programme of the symposium was divided between the two sessions. The first one was devoted to the presentation of Ignacy Domeyko’s contribution to the founding and development of the oldest Chilean University i.e. University of Chile [see: S. Prenafeta, Universidad de Chile, 150 Afios (1842-1992), Santiago, 1992]. It also covered the connections of Ignacy Domeyko with the Jagiellonian University. The second session comprised exploration activities of Domeyko in Chile, includ­ ing geological, mineralogical and ethnographical research. The lecture of Prof. Luis Riveros Cornejo, Rector of the University of Chile can be interpreted as the expression of recognition and homage which the Chilean nation pays to the eminent Pole. The reason for this exceptional respect is that Ignacy Domeyko, together with Andres Bello - the first rector of the University of Chile, created the educational institution which has had the leading role in science, humani­ ties and art and which has had immeasurable intellectual influence on the country and whole Latin America. According to Mr Riveros, Ignacy Domeyko left an indelible mark of cultural and educational pioneer spirit on the University of Chile, the spirit which has prevailed throughout theyears. Domeyko, being ahead of his time, pointed out the necessity to integrate experi­ mental sciences with classical studies, that is merging the former with the discovery <f beauty, harmony, elegance and unaffectedness. He voiced this belief in his dissertation Science, Literature and dirts. In 1847 the University Council accepted the higher education re­ form prepared by Ignacy Domeyko. The result of the reform was separating the pri­ mary and secondary from higher education (scientific and professional). Initially, as the University Delegate (1852-1867) and later as the rector of the University of Chile (1867-1883) Domeyko has reformed the higher education in Chile, adapting the European pattern to local specifics, especially political and cultural. Rector Riveros referred to Domeyko as to [...] one of thefoundingfathers ofthe University of Chile and one of its outstanding rectors. Thefun­ damental reform which he implemented, gave rise to the Corporation and its successes, and especially to founding ofPedagogical Institute (1889), Faculty ofHumanities and Philosophy and accepting the University Statute in 1931, what contributed to harmonious development of education and re­ search. According to Rector Riveros the figure of Ignacy Domeyko is the embodiment of the university career which is most representativefor pedagogical calling and a genuine researcher. The lecture of Rector Riveros situated the life and output of Ignacio Domeyko within the intellectual pantheon of the most eminent figures in the history of Chile. Prof. Zbigniew Wójcik from the Museum of Earth of the Polish Academy of Sci­ ences in Warsaw and the author of Ignacy Domeyko monography (1995), has referred to history and epistolography sources in order to reconstruct Domeyko’s connections with the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Ignacy Domeyko has been gripped by the magic spell of Kraków, the city which has played a special role in Polish history, since early childhood. Throughout his stay in Chile he continued his acquaintance with prof. Ludwik Zejszner, an eminent geologist, the director of the Chair of Mineralogy at the Jagiellonian University (1830-1833, 1848-1857). He sent his collections of min­ erals to Kraków via the friends in Paris and London. The collections have been pre­ served and is nowadays exhibited in the Museum of Geological Sciences Institute of thejagiellonian University. Kraków libraries (the Jagiellonian Library, the Czartoryski Library, The Library of Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Academy of Arts and Sci- Ignacy Domeyko - Spiritual Bridge between Poland and Chile. Symposium Summary 197 ences) have invaluable collections of Domeyko’s publications and manuscripts with the relevant dedications. In 1850 Domeyko received the letter from prof. Zejszner of the Jagiellonian Uni­ versity in which he was appointed the director of the Chair of Chemistry, Physics or any other branch of biology sciences. Due to family obligations Domeyko could not use this op­ portunity and he wrote in his diary: You would have to know, how vehemently I have loved Kraków since my early days, hcrw deep was my desire to see this ancient city, how highly I respected our Jagiellonian University, in order to have some understanding ofwhat was going on inside myself and what confusion I experienced. K year later (1851) he became a member and a correspondent of The Cracovian Sci­ entific Society. Domeyko visited Kraków a few times, quite late in his life, in the years 1884-1888, during his triumphant tour of Europe. The culmination of his connections with Kraków was awarding him the title of Doctor honoris causa of medicine of the Jagiello­ nian University in 1887, on the occasion of the opening celebration of Collegium Novum (one of the main buildings of the Jagiellonian University). The devotion and love for Kraków and the University, profound patriotic feelings, faithfulness to the ideals of Vilnius’ Filomats (the group of polish patriots who organized underground activities against Russian occupation) as well as his creative achievements in many branches of knowledge fully justified his recognition as the apostle of education and science both in Chile and in Poland. During noon break the participants of the Symposium visited the Museum of the Jagiellonian University and the exhibition prepared by the organizers of the Sympo­ sium. The exhibition which was devoted to Domeyko’s life and output, was prepared under artistic supervision of Mrs. Grażyna Nowosińska Ryn. The afternoon session was related to the activities of Ignacy Domeyko in Chile. Prof. Alfonso Carvajal from the University of La Serena (Universidad de La Serena), who is currently a PhD student at the Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Kraków, presented the paper on Ignacio Domeyko’s tracks in Coquimbo and the Atacama Desert. The paper was prepared in cooperation with prof. Claudio Canut de Bon. The exploration passion of Ignacy Domeyko led him to covering 7000 km during his horseback trips up and down North Chilean territories in the years 1838-1848. Domeyko visited numerous copper, silver and gold mines and conducted geological research in different parts of the Andean Cordillera, especially in the south part of the Atacama Desert and in the valleys of the Copiapó and Elqui rivers. Domeyko is also renowned for his research on the meteorites found in the region of Taltal (Atacama). He reached the main Andean summit a few times, climbing to the altitude of 4500 m over the sea level. The illustrations of the places he visited let the participants of the Symposium appreciate the unimaginable beauty of the Chilean desert landscape. Pablo Domeyko Pérez, the grandson of Ignacy Domeyko and the son of Kazimierz Domeyko had the presentation on the history of the house of Domeyko in Cueto Street in the old district of Santiago. The house has been taken care of by the subse­ quent generations of Domeyko family. The most serious contribution to its mainte­ nance was made by Dona Hortensia Pérez Tupper, the widow of Kazimierz Domeyko and Doria Anita Domeyko Alamos de Salazar - the only living granddaughter of Ignacy Domeyko. 198 ARTYKUŁY Since our early childhood we were acquainted with the authentic relics of Saint Casimir, with the picture of Our Lady ofOstra Bramf, the picture ofAdam Mickiewicf and Odyniec, the medals of KingVladislaus Jagidle? and Saint Hedwig, the Queen ofPoland*, King Jan Sobiesk? and others who kept up the spiritual contact with Poland and its eternal values, said Pablo Domeyko in his speech.

    Mapping Domeyko: A visual arts project inspired by the expeditions of Ignacy Domeyko Ignacio Acosta (University of Brighton, U. K.), Jakub Bojczuk (London, U. K.) Chile, with its rocky cordillera, overflowing with mineral wealth, holds the largest reserves of copper on the planet Earth. This mineral kingdom was yet to be discovered in 1838 when Domeyko reached Chile, as his arrival coincided with a remarkable phase of development in copper and silver mining in Chile. The country presented itself as an intriguing and exciting land, full of new discoveries and adventures. While main purpose of Domeyko’s work in Chile was to take up a teaching position in Coquimbo, which he carried out with care and dedication, he took full advantage of every opportunity that presented itself in order to explore the Andes mountains. This helped him collect educational material for his students but also satisfied his thirst for knowledge. As Paz Domeyko notes ‘from the moment of his arrival, the nearby mountains and the mines they contained had beckoned to his avid curiosity. No sooner was the school year over than Ignacio left on his first long-awaited excursion to explore them’1. In his numerous field expeditions, particularly frequent during his time teaching in Coquimbo between 1838 and 1847, Domeyko visited, amongst others: the silver mine in Arqueros (1838), the Carrizal copper mine (1840), the Chañarcillo silver mine (1840), the San Pedro Nolasco silver mines (1841), the El Teniente and El Volcano mines (1842) and smaller mines found during his journey to Araucania (1844–1845). These journeys, together with other trips to the Andes carried out less frequently after his relocation to Santiago, resulted in many detailed scientific analysis and publications.

A story by the President of the Institute of National Remembrance appears in the latest instalment of the "We Are Telling the World about Poland" series. This weekend, fifty media outlets around the world are publishing “Polish Innovators Have Changed the World”, another text by Jarosław Szarek in the “We Are Telling the World about Poland” project. This initiative of the New Media Institute is supported by the IPN, Foreign Ministry, National Bank and Polish Press Agency. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia will be told about Poland, but the story is also headed for more exotic places, such as Venezuela, Kuwait or Singapore. This weekend, France will be reading it in the “Special Pologne” insert in the “L’Opinion” daily. President Szarek gives examples of Polish explorers, innovators and inventors, “Poles spurred the development of electronics, chemistry and aviation. They constructed portable mine detectors and broke the German Enigma, accelerating the end of the WW2,” writes the IPN’s President, and adds, In the early 1980s, when the world watched the struggle of Polish “Solidarity” and newspapers carried the name of John Paul II on their front pages, only few people knew that 90% of stainless steel almost everyone used daily, including in their kitchens, was produced through a process developed by the US-based Polish engineer Tadeusz Sendzimir, the “Edison of metallurgy .

  • Litwa Nad Wartą? Wokół Pierwszego Pomysłu Pana Tadeusza
    Polonistyka. Innowacje Numer 9, 2019 Litwa nad Wartą? Wokół pierwszego pomysłu Pana Tadeusza Lithuania on the Warta river? Around the first idea of Pan Tadeusz Elżbieta Lijewska Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu Abstract: The article refers to the hypothesis that Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz had its origins in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland region). It reminds the source of the hypothesis and the attitude of researchers of the 19th and 20th centuries towards it. The author emphasises the significance of the fact that Mickiewicz met his brother Franciszek, and some other Lithuanians, in Łukowo on the Warta river. The author of this article draws our attention to an older version of the beginning of the poem entitled Żegota and connects the version with Ignacy Domeyko. Key words: Adam Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz, Ignacy Domeyko, November Uprising (1830-1831) Streszczenie: Artykuł nawiązuje do hipotezy wielkopolskich początków Pana Tadeusza Adama Mickiewicza. Przypomina źródła tej hipotezy oraz stanowiska wobec niej badaczy w wieku XIX i XX. Autorka podkreśla znaczenie spotkania z bratem, Franciszkiem Mickiewiczem oraz innymi Litwinami podczas pobytu poety w Łukowie nad Wartą. Zwraca uwagę na starszą wersję początku poematu, zatytułowanego Żegota, i wiąże ją z osobą Ignacego Domeyki. Słowa kluczowe: Adam Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz, Wielkopolska, Ignacy Domeyko, powstanie listopadowe Janusz Ruszkowski, kronikarz pobytu Adama Mickiewicza w Wielkopolsce, zwracał kiedyś uwagę na pewną zadziwiającą sytuację dotyczącą tego okresu życia poety. Z jednej bowiem strony żadnemu fragmentowi biogra- fii Mickiewicza nie poświęcono tylu osobnych publikacji, z drugiej nato- miast badania te mają prawie wyłącznie charakter regionalny, tak jakby siedem miesięcy spędzonych w Poznańskiem (sierpień 1831 – luty 1832) interesowało tylko Wielkopolan.
