  • “He Was One of Us” – Joseph Conrad As a Home Army Author
    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. 13 2018, pp. 17–29 doi: 0.4467/20843941YC.18.002.11237 “HE WAS ONE OF US” – JOSEPH CONRAD AS A HOME ARMY AUTHOR Stefan Zabierowski The University of Silesia, Katowice Abstract: The aim of this article is to show how Conrad’s fiction (and above all the novelLord Jim) influenced the formation of the ethical attitudes and standards of the members of the Polish Home Army, which was the largest underground army in Nazi-occupied Europe. The core of this army was largely made up of young people who had been born around the year 1920 (i.e. after Poland had regained her independence in 1918) and who had had the opportunity to become acquainted with Conrad’s books during the interwar years. During the wartime occupation, Conrad became the fa- vourite author of those who were actively engaged in fighting the Nazi regime, familiarizing young conspirators with the ethics of honour—the conviction that fighting in a just cause was a reward in itself, regardless of the outcome. The views of this generation of soldiers have been recorded by the writers who were among them: Jan Józef Szczepański, Andrzej Braun and Leszek Prorok. Keywords: Joseph Conrad, World War II, Poland, Polish Home Army, Home Army, Warsaw Uprising 1 In order to fully understand the extraordinary role that Joseph Conrad’s novels played in forming the ethical attitudes and standards of those Poles who fought in the Home Army—which was the largest underground resistance army in Nazi-occupied Europe—we must go back to the interwar years, during which most of the members of the generation that was to form the core of the Home Army were born, for it was then that their personalities were formed and—perhaps above all—it was then that they acquired the particular ethos that they had in common.

  • Discourse of Heresy in Polish Post-WWII Literature Herlingâ•Žs
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Folia Litteraria Polonica 4(55) 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.55.21 Margreta Grigorowa* https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4416-371X Discourse of heresy in Polish post-WWII literature Herling’s and Herbert’s heretics Heretics, stakes, and inquisitors invaded Polish literature of the second half of the 20th century. That was visible in the outputs of renowned Polish authors who en- dured the apocalypse of World War II and the dictatorships of the last century: Gustaw Herling-Grudziński (1919–2000), a prisoner of the Gulag in Yertsevo, combatant in the Warsaw Uprising, as well as Andrzej Szczypiorski (1928–2000), a prisoner of the Lager in Sachsenhausen, Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998), a young poet in occupied Lviv, or those who survived Soviet occupation, e.g. Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) and Jerzy Andrzejewski (1909–1983). What heretics can be found in their works? Jacques de Molay, a Knight Tem- plar burnt at the stake together with 36 other “relentless brothers”, Albigensians, Cathars, the related Bulgarian Bogomils in Herbert’s essays in the Barbarzyńca w ogrodzie1 volume: Obrona templariuszy and O albigensach, inkwizytorach i tru- badurach. Herling-Grudziński’s short stories featured the heretic Giordano Bruno and his spiritual ally the artist Caravaggio, e.g. in the short story Głęboki cień, the mysterious heretic from Bolsena in the short story Drugie przyjście, and the legendary St. Aaron, a former heretic, stealer of the Host, who by God’s miracle was saved from the stake in the short story Legenda o nawróconym pustelniku. Giordano Bruno was also featured in one of Miłosz’s key poems from 1943 entitled Campo di Fiori (Herling-Grudziński referred to it in his texts on Giordano Bruno), where the historical parallel became vivid during the nightmare with the burning * Professor, University of Veliko Turnovo St Cyril and St.

  • Revisiting Andrzej Wajda's Korczak (1990)
    Studia Filmoznawcze 39 Wroc³aw 2018 Marek Haltof Northern Michigan University THE CASUALTY OF JEWISH-POLISH POLEMICS: REVISITING ANDRZEJ WAJDA’S KORCZAK (1990) DOI: 10.19195/0860-116X.39.4 Emblematic of Wajda’s later career is Korczak (1990), one of the most important European pictures about the Holocaust. Steven Spielberg1 More interesting than the issue of Wajda’s alleged an- ti-Semitism is the question of Korczak’s martyrdom. East European Jews have suffered a posthumous violation for their supposed passivity in the face of the Nazi death machine. Why then should Korczak be exalted for leading his lambs to the slaughter? It is, I believe, because the fate of the Orphan’s Home hypostatizes the extremity of the Jewish situation — the innocence of the victims, their utter abandonment, their merciless fate. In the face of annihilation, Janusz Korczak’ tenderness is a terrifying reproach. He is the father who did not exist. J. Hoberman2 1 S. Spielberg, “Mr. Steven Spielberg’s Support Letter for Poland’s Andrzej Wajda,” Dialogue & Universalism 2000, no. 9–10, p. 15. 2 J. Hoberman, “Korczak,” Village Voice 1991, no. 6, p. 55. Studia Filmoznawcze, 39, 2018 © for this edition by CNS SF 39.indb 53 2018-07-04 15:37:47 54 | Marek Haltof Andrzej Wajda produced a number of films dealing with the Holocaust and Polish-Jewish relationships.3 His often proclaimed ambition had been to reconcile Poles and Jews.4 The scriptwriter of Korczak, Agnieszka Holland, explained that this was Wajda’s “obsession, the guilt.”5 Given the above, it should come as no surprise that he chose the story of Korczak as his first film after the 1989 return of democracy in Poland.

  • Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany
    Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany Jan-Jonathan Bock and Sharon Macdonald In late August and early September 2015, thousands of asylum seekers from the Middle East were stranded in Hungary’s capital, Budapest. Many complained about heavy-handed mistreatment by the authorities, who also set up new ‘detention centres’ at the country’s southeastern border (Haraszti 2015; Kallius et al. 2016). When thousands of migrants left Budapest to march on a motorway towards Austria – and Germany – the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and her Austrian counterpart, Werner Faymann, took a far-reaching decision. Bypassing the ordinary rules of the EU’s shared asylum system, both leaders agreed to permit asylum seekers entry into their countries to process applications for pro- tection and combat human trafficking. Only two weeks previously, the discovery of seventy-one dead bodies in a locked van on the A4 motorway in Austria – the victims of trafficking – had illustrated the fatal conse- quences of Europe’s insufficient protection schemes for those fleeing con- flict elsewhere (den Heijer et al. 2016). The pressure on European leaders to act further increased after the highly publicized death of a young boy, Alan Kurdi, who drowned on his way to Europe. Images of his lifeless body, washed up on a Turkish beach, shocked the world.1 According to the EU’s Dublin Regulation, asylum seekers ought to apply for protection in the first EU country they reach. In most cases, these are Greece or Italy – two countries that, in the mid 2010s, struggled with unemployment and austerity, and from which asylum seekers sought to continue northwards (Lucht 2012; Redattore Sociale 2015; Trauner 2016).

It focuses mainly on painting and graphic arts, and selected aspects of photography, design and architecture. Appropriation from Japanese sources triggered the articulation of new visual and conceptual languages which helped forge new art and art educational paradigms that would define the modern age. Starting with Polish fin-de-siècle Japonisme, it examines the role of Western European artistic centres, mainly Paris, in the initial dissemination of Japonisme in Poland, and considers the exceptional case of Julian Żałat, who had first-hand experience of Japan. The second phase of Polish Japonisme (1901-1918) was nourished on local, mostly Cracovian, infrastructure put in place by the ‘godfather’ of Polish Japonisme Żeliks Manggha Jasieski. His pro-Japonisme agency is discussed at length.

  • Immigration, Ueberfremdung, and Cultural Chauvinism in German Far-Right Partisan Discourse
    Imagined Identity: Immigration, Ueberfremdung, and Cultural Chauvinism in German Far-Right Partisan Discourse Paul A. Harris, Ph.D. Augusta State University Abstract In recent years, issues of an imagined ethno-cultural identity and revived nationalism have received renewed attention in German partisan public discourse. Initially, this came as a shock to both Germans and non- Germans. Both inside and outside of Germany the rise of right-wing partisan rhetoric has evoked fearful memories of the Nazi past. Yet, given the political parties responsible for bringing this nationalist, xenophobic and anti-semitic discourse to the forefront, most notably the Die Republikaner (REP) , Deutsche Volksunion (DVU), and Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD)such reactions should hardly be surprising. The radical right’s adherence to racist ideology is both openly xenophobic and anti-Semitic and centers around the threat of elimination of the German kulturnation. This article addresses this right-extremist rhetoric in light of Germany’s liberal post-War immigration policies. I first undertake a historical examination of German immigration policy which has contributed to Germany’s multi-cultural milieu. I then examine German far right partisan discourse and its attack on Germany’s expansive immigration policies. My ultimate goal is to expose the illusory and fallacious character of the far right’s racist arguments in light of Germany’s post-War status as a true immigration country. Since the end of World War II Germany has witnessed changes in the demographic makeup of immigrants entering its borders. Whereas in the immediate post-War years co-ethnics from throughout Central and Eastern Europe dominated the immigrant landscape, since the 1960s a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural mix of peoples from throughout Eastern German Policy Studies/Politikfeldanalyse, 1(3), 2001, pp.
