A Educação na Internacional Comunista
Authors: Diniz Cassio , Bauer Carlos , Delcorso Isabella
Published: January 2020

Esse manuscrito tem como proposta analisar as perspectivas educacionais que se processaram e se desenvolveram no seio da Terceira Internacional, também conhecida como A Internacional Comunista (IC). A metodologia de pesquisa sustenta-se em fontes bibliográficas, na descrição crítica de sua trajetória histórica e na ênfase que essa organização da classe trabalhadora deu ao estabelecimento da pedagogia socialista e na sua disseminação como parte dos seus propósitos de intervenção política de alcance mundial. A sua principal finalidade é reconhecer a importância da IC para o movimento internacional dos trabalhadores, recuperar sucintamente alguns aspectos de sua história e procurar localizar os autores, as preocupações teóricas e os desafios que se colocaram para aqueles que atuaram em suas fileiras e tinham como prioridade a intervenção no campo educacional, como foi o caso destacado de Nadezhda Krupskaya. As gravuras e fotografias utilizadas ao longo do artigo têm caráter ilustrativo, são de domínio público e constituem o acervo dos autores.
Compre o seu futuro! O cenário atual da mercantilização da educação profissional no Brasil
Authors: Souza Francisco das Chagas Silva , Albano Verônica Dantas de Araújo
Published: January 2020

Neste artigo, objetivamos discutir a ampliação da Educação Profissional em instituições privadas de ensino. A metodologia constou de pesquisas nos sites de seis empresas que ofertam cursos de formação profissional com a finalidade de compreender como se apresenta o discurso da empregabilidade, da qualificação e da competência como estratégia de marketing para atrair ‘alunos-clientes’. Baseados em revisão de literatura acerca do tema privatização da educação profissional no Brasil, consideramos que a ampliação do setor privado na educação brasileira decorre do aprofundamento da política neoliberal, que reduz a participação do Estado nos investimentos e dissemina a ideia da inserção no mercado mediante a aquisição de cursos de capacitação, geralmente curtos, fornecidos pelas instituições de ensino, sobretudo privadas, muitas das quais com a obtenção de financiamentos públicos.

„Authorial Intention”: A Few Remarks On a Noble Lie in Scholarly Editing
Authors: Bem Paweł
Published: January 2020

The article addresses the practice of critical editing in Poland. It establishes a framework
for the evaluation of the theoretical underpinnings of this practice as a refl ection
of the author’s intention. Bem advocates a „new philology” paradigm in scholarly editing.
The perspective of „new philology” enables the handling of every text as a unique
artifact. Bem is in favor of retaining old forms of spelling and questions the common
practices of modenization.
„Let me Declare Myself as a Geometrician”:
Interpretation, Over-Interpretation and Its Limits
Authors: Czardybon Marcin
Published: January 2020

The article addresses the issue of „limits of over-interpretation”, which was famously
brought up in Jonathan Culler’s discussion with Richard Rorty, Umberto Eco and
Christine Brook-Rose. Over-interpretation is described as „a unique state of line”.
This concept is borrowed from Carl Shmitt’s theory of state law and allows one to problematize
the central question of Culler’s theory: if the guarantee of over-interpretation
is the background, who represents agency, who determines the methodological position
of an interpreting person? The work of Pierre Bourdieu and Giorgio Agamben has been
referenced, among others.
The Problem of Over-Interpretation in Literary Studies
Authors: Nalewajk Żaneta
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the functions of over-interpretation in contemporary literary studies, beginning with an attempt to defi ne the principal epistemological positions in the debate on the ways of establishing literary meanings. The understanding of the role of interpretation depends on the choice of a given position. Over-interpretation has several homonymic meanings. The article highlights the differences between interpretation in literary studies and colloquial or artistic interpretation. It identifi es fi fteen types of over-interpretation and their implications in literary studies.
Truth Matters: A Critical Exercise in Revisionism
Authors: van Peer Willie
Published: January 2020

This article provides fi ndings on the status of „truth” in recent academic discourse. Willie van Peer suggests undertaking a critical analysis of some recent debates, using the term „revisionism” for this enterprise. Author elaborates on various methodologies concerning the status of truth: revelatory, formal, and empirical notion of truth, as well as theories rejecting the notion of truth altogether. These considerations lead to the conclusion that the subject of literary studies would profi t considerably from any attempt to increase semantic precision of invoked notions of truth.
Between practice and theory – the case of the Russian avant-garde
Authors: Berkieta Aleksandra
Published: January 2020

The article is concerned with Russian avant-garde literature and modern literary theory in its
„heroic” period between World War I and the Russian Revolution of 1917. It analyzes selected
works by and biographies of the Russian Futurists and the literary theorists who sympathized with
them, i.e. the founders of the so-called Russian formalist school gathered in OPOYAZ („Society for
the Study of Poetic Language”) in St. Petersburg and Moscow Linguistic Circle in Moscow. The article
shows that the revolution in art which they proclaimed and the resulting negation of the academic
and literary tradition (especially the rejection of Russian symbolism) was rather superfi cial. It was
a consequence of a generational change on the Russian literary scene as well as in the modernist
literary studies.
The silence of literature. Houellebecq’s The Possibility of an Island
Authors: Borowska-Kazimiruk Sylwia
Published: January 2020

Readings of the fourth novel in Michael Houellebecq’s literary output have generally converged
with the interpretations of his previous works, highlighting the writer’s critical observations about
the postmodern condition of the Western Man: someone who stands on the rubble of a modern
decadent’s prevalent values. The article presents a different view on „The Possibility of an Island”
by referring to Maurice Blanchot’s „The Space of Literature”. In the light of Blanchot’s contemplations
about the literary work as superior to the author, a dystopian tale about the life of Daniel
and his subsequent incarnations becomes a statement on writing as well as reading. In this futuristic,
pantextual story, composed exclusively from diary entries, the rules are set fi rst and foremost
by literature – with all its consequences, primarily negative. By comparing Blanchot and Houellebecq,
one can trace the relationship of the writer/reader with the text and look into the possibilities
of transcending the evoked reality.
Kandinsky’s Figure R.
Authors: Gromek Karol
Published: January 2020

The article focuses on the present status of interpretation in the humanities. After poststructuralism, whose proponents have undermined all major components of the humanistic discourse, the role of the researcher also appears to be problematic. The article therefore proposes a new category to defi ne the position of the reader in critical analysis. This has been done through a reference to Victor Kandinsky, a famous Russian pioneer of psychiatry. Selected events from Kandinsky’s life have been juxtaposed with the process of interpretation to produce a new defi nition of the interpreter based on four attributes: textual experience, the contestation of the fi elds of truth, the fear of over-interpretation and the lack of individuality.
Anatomy of Appropriation. Postmodernism, Allegorical Procedures and the Myth
Authors: Lipiński Filip
Published: January 2020

The article is an extensive analysis of the postmodern phenomenon of appropriation art in its practical and theoretical context. It focuses on the historical period of the late 1970s and 1980s and the New York Scene of American artists, collectively called the Pictures Generation. It was a moment when artistic practice merged with an insightful critical refl ection inspired by diverse sources such as Walter Benjamin’s theory of allegory, Roland Barthes’s analysis of myth and the idea of „the death of the author” as well as Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction. In the fi rst part of the article I analyze the photographic work of four major female artists – Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman and Barbara Kruger – in terms of the strategies of appropriation they employed. It sets ground for the second part of the article – a detailed „anatomy” of critical discourse and theoretical and historical premises for the emergence or appropriation art with a special focus on the allegory and allegorical procedures discussed in seminal articles by Craig Owens and Benjamin H. Buchloh. It also highlights the relationship between appropriation and the Barthesian understanding of the myth. In the third part I discuss critical reconsiderations of appropriation in terms of subjectivity and its political value. The fi nal section consists of analyses of selected works of appropriation, deconstructing „American myth” in order to demonstrate the above-mentioned political/critical dimension of appropriation. In conclusion, I propose to think about postmodern appropriation not only as an important phenomenon of the past but a still operative, even if at times aporetic, project which sets major coordinates for contemporary art.
Postdigital aesthetics: the art of imperfection, decomposition and glitch
Authors: Marzec Andrzej
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the recent phenomenon of postdigital aesthetics, with a focus on postdigital artists’ preference for destructive actions, and their use imperfection, distortion and errors. It analyzes glitch art creators, using the theoretical tools proposed by Rosa Menkman and Michael Betancourt. It addresses the possible reasons for a return to analogue in the postdigital age and for a critical use of glitch in contemporary art. The art of glitch perhaps best epitomizes our postdigital condition and shows a discontinuous experience of reality.
From the realism to the Real. The „suicidal gesture” in the photography
Self Portrait as a Drowned Man by Hippolyte Bayard and in the painting
The Wounded Man by Gustave Courbet
Authors: Pyra Justyna
Published: January 2020

The article begins with an analysis of two works of art: the photography Self Portrait as
a Drowned Man by Hippolyte Bayard (1839–1840), which is one of the fi rst photographs in history,
and the painting The Wounded Man by Gustave Courbet (1845–1854). Both these images use
the same iconographic theme: the death of the author. This comparison leads to a refl ection about
the intersections of photography and death, in an artistic as well as an anthropological sense.
The similarity of the subject of both the works, and their rootedness in the time of creation, induce
a variety of questions: what was the status of photography shortly after the invention of this medium?
How did it affect the notion of art, the social position of the artist, the comprehension of realism,
and fi nally – the perception of the world itself? The article tries to answer some of these questions
by bringing out the picture of a specifi c moment in (art) history, when both man’s interest in death
and the realist’s aspiration to create mimetic representations have found a new refl ection in art
thanks to photography.
Slices of art. Viennese actionists and Werner Schwab’s negations
Authors: Pytko Mateusz
Published: January 2020

The article raises questions about the possibility of negation of art on the example of Viennese
Actionism’s body performance and Werner Schwab’s conception of theatre. It puts emphasis
on the problems of the political meaning of the abjectal usage of the body (actionists) and language
(Schwab) in contrast to the fascist dryness represented by Heinrich Gross. It additionally demonstrates
the similarity between the brutal performances of the Viennese Actionists and Werner Schwab’s
affective imaginarium.
Bards at the bus stop:
Jan Krzysztof Kelus and Andrzej Garczarek and the song of the concrete
Authors: Dźwinel Karol
Published: January 2020

The article discusses poetic representations of places, people and events in selected
songs by Jan Krzysztof Kelus and Andrzej Garczarek. This is a key feature of the bardic
idiom in general (to be found in the lyrics by Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan or Woody Guthrie).
If poets need to ensure the sylleptical transposition of the subject and autobiographical
lyrical narratives, then bards can also resort to the truth of their own voice, enhanced
by a phonically depicted person. References to specifi c people, geographical locations
or historical events, the poetic reconstruction of circumstances, singing in the function
of a „personal journal” – become the ways of obtaining and then maintaining the authenticity
of what (and how) is sung. Kelus and Garczarek are shown as poets of circumstances,
singers of the reality, masters of the concrete.
Writing Philosophy as Poetry: Wittgenstein’s Literary Syntax
Authors: Perloff Marjorie
Published: January 2020

This article concerns Wittgenstein’s way of writing. Among the questions that have been addresses,
there is the relation between common language and literary language. Another problem
is Wittgenstein’s aphoristic writing. Wittgenstein’s poetics of writing has been analyzed in the light
of its similarity to the poetry, games and poetics of Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams.
The Literary, Musical and Social Conditioning of the Czech Folk Song
Authors: Prokeš Josef
Published: January 2020

The article consists of three excerpts from the book Czech Folk Songs from the 60s
to 80s of the 20th century by Josef Prokeš. The publication maps out the phenomenon
of singer-songwriting in Czechoslovakia. The fi rst two extracts – „Folk Song lyrics in
the context of Literary Studies” and „The Folk Song Genre in the context of Music Studies” – deal with methodological issues regarding the ways of analysing folk song lyrics
in a wider cultural context, and the possibility of situating folk music in the fi eld of Czech
Music Studies. The third excerpt, entitled „The Status of the Czech Folk Song in national
culture”, discusses the sources of folk music in Czech culture, the inspirations of major
singer-songwriters, the development of folk music in the analysed period as well as its
signifi cance during the totalitarian era in Czechoslovakia, and fi nally poses questions
about its future in the context of national culture.
The Music Protest in the Czech Republic after 1989.
Jaroslav Hutka’s „Udavačz Těšína” and the discourse on post-Velvet
Revolution bardic art
Authors: Witkowska Tatiana
Published: January 2020

The article analyses the press debate regarding Jaroslav Hutka’s song Udavač
z Těšína, with a focus on both the objections against the author as well as Hutka’s defence. The arguments articulated in this debate function on two main levels: a formal
and a personal level, the latter shedding light not only on the author’s motivations but
also on his audience’s outlook. The analysis traces the shifts within the post-communist
bardic discourse in the Czech Republic and the evolution of the relationship between
singer-songwriters and the audience with respect to the perception and interpretation
of the new post-communist reality as well as their own lives.
A literary character as a co-author: The presence of Zuzanna Ginczanka in Józef Łobodowski’s book of poems Pamięci Sulamity („In memory of Shulamite”)
Authors: Długoszewska-Tamoń Katarzyna
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the relationship between the work of Zuzanna Ginczanka and the volume of poetry Pamięci Sulamity (In memory of Shulamite) by Józef Łobodowski. The use of stylized elements referring to the work of other writers is characteristic of Łobodowski’s writing. The article addresses the question of how Zuzanna Ginczanka, the poet’s friend from his youth, is present in his volume In memory of Shulamite. A relevant context for such an examination is the problem of writing after the Holocaust and the idea of God’s silence in the face of the tragedy of war. The article also discusses the infl uence of the biblical tradition, in particular the Song of Songs, on the works of Zuzanna Ginczanka and Józef Łobodowski.
The Refl ection of Life – Marjan Satrapi‘s Auotbiographical Persepolis
at the Crossroads of Cultures
Authors: Dorobińska Magdalena
Published: January 2020

In the autobiographical comic book Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi combines the themes
of coming of age and the search for identity with a depiction of the Islamic revolution
that led to a radical cultural change in Iran. The choice of a comic as a medium
for conveying the memories of youth emphasizes the inseparability of the cultures
of the East and the West, between which the heroine is suspended. The intercultural dimension of Satrapi‘s work is manifested through the form of the story, the outline
of the cultural confl ict in Iran in the 20th century, and the cultural shock after the heroine‘
s arrival in Europe.
The Liminal Character. The problem of Identity at the Crossroads of Cultures
Authors: Jakóbczyk Adrianna
Published: January 2020

Living in the multicultural areas of a predominantly Polish community, German characters either identify themselves as Poles (the fi rst, naive description of their identity), or realise that a full national identifi cation is impossible for them (the second stage, which usually signifi es that they are about to be confronted with German culture). Since their experience of being permanently in-between entails a liminal position, these literary fi gures can be described as liminal. The crucial aspects of describing a literary character as liminal are: 1) the exposure during adolescence to at least two cultures which are perceived as unequal; 2) the aspiration to enter the dominant culture, linked to the promise of a social gain; 3) full alienation – a permanent status as an Other in both cultures; 4) the uniqueness of experience – the absence of a community of people in the same situation, the lack of understanding on the part of people from both cultures. These issues are discussed with reference to the novels Kronika wypadków miłosnych by T. Konwicki, Homunculus z tryptyku by B. Wuttke and Początek by A. Szczypiorski.
Two Chords of Apocalypse. La Saletta and The Sign of Power by Jan Zahradnicek
Authors: Vojvodík Josef , Wiendl Jan
Published: January 2020

The article is concerned with two major poetic works by the Czech author Jan Zahradníček from 1947 and 1951. In this very diffi cult period, he created two fundamental texts in which he expressed his skepticism about the development of the post-war Czechoslovak society dominated the communist regime. These poetic compositions, however, remain a unique testimony to the attempt to defend an endangered conservative attitude and to offer a diagnosis of the time, characterized by a great social optimism, on the one hand, and an awareness of destruction, on the other.
Nabil Shaban’s Dialogue with the Non-Disabled Centre
Authors: Ojrzyńska Katarzyna
Published: January 2020

The article centres on the literary output of the Jordanian-British artist Nabil Shaban.
In his texts, Shaban often rewrites various historical and popular narratives from the perspective
of a person with a disability. This strategy, for instance, involves the investigation
of the lives of certain historical fi gures, such as Ivar the Boneless, whom Shaban brings
out of the disability closet. The concept of what may be termed „writing back to the
non-disabled centre” is also conspicuous in Shaban’s rewritings of popular narratives, the best example being the parody of a zombie apocalypse narrative in the screenplay
entitled Hoodies and the Crips. Taking recourse to such concepts as Julia Kristeva’s „the
abject”, Barbara Creed’s „monstrous feminine” and Tobin Siebers’s „disability drag”, the
article examines the subversive strategies used by Shaban in order to enter a dialogic
relationship with non-disabled culture and history.
Languages of Jospeh Conrad – a biographic perspective
Authors: Kujawska-Lis Ewa
Published: January 2020

Joseph Conrad presents a very unique case of multilingualism in the context of creative writing.
Polish was his native language (fi rst language). He learnt French as a child, but chose English, which
he acquired relatively late – at the age of 21, as the language of his literary output. Theoretically,
as a writer he could have created in any of these three languages. The article traces the circumstances in which Conrad acquired each of the mentioned languages and motivation in learning foreign
languages as well as in selecting the language of his oeuvre.
Self-translation as Autobiography: Translation Discourse and the Discourse of Death
Authors: Wojtyna Miłosz
Published: January 2020

The article discusses Samuel Beckett’s practice of self-translation as 1) a textual strategy that parodies the use of life/death methaphors in translation studies discourse, 2) a predominantly autobiographical act that aims at the preservation of a certain writerly signature not only in two linguistic versions of the same text but also in the larger Beckett oeuvre. Issues related to transtextuality and subjectivity are discussed with reference to a wide array of critical writing on Beckett, self-translation, and translation studies in general.

Starting from the recent observation by Zara Dinnen and Robyn Warhol that the discipline is relevant and suitable for studying all of “contemporary cultural life”, the authors present various attempts at ordering the multiplicity of narratologies. In addition, they put forward their own categorisation of recent postclassical approaches, distinguishing between narratologies that broaden the notion of narrative text and those that focus on communicative context, cultural context, and “storytelling”.
Representations of Women in Selected Short Stories by Katherine Mansfield Viewed Through Seventeenth-century Genre Paintings
Authors: Kwiatkowska Anna
Published: January 2020

The goal of the paper is to demonstrate the influence of the Dutch masters on the representation of women in Mansfield’s short stories. The correspondences discernible between Mansfieldian women characters and the women figures from the Dutch Old Masters’ canvases as well as Dutch painters’ techniques dealing with perspective and Mansfield’s treatment of narration show a lot in common. When introducing her female protagonists, Mansfield seems to employ certain narrative strategies that are reminiscent of the techniques utilised by the Old Masters. The paper addresses, therefore, two issues. Firstly, it deals with a transmedial aspect of Mansfield’s stories and makes an inquiry into the question of how the writer endowed her female protagonists with the characteristics that echo the features of women painted by the seventeenth-century artists. And secondly, the paper tries to establish why Mansfield would resort to the Old Masters’ canvases while constructing her modern texts. Since the topic of Dutch influences in Mansfield’s works appears to be a complex one, the paper is but an introduction into a deeper and more thorough inquiry into the works of Katherine Mansfield in relation to the 17th century paintings.
Narrative in the Contemporary Novel – Some Reconceptualisations
Authors: Lutostański Bartosz
Published: January 2020

This paper discusses two contemporary novels from a narratological perspective. The Unfortunates by B.S. Johnson and S. by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst demonstrate inapplicability of narrative most commonly theorised as a representation of events. Instead, due to their unconventional usage of typography, multimodality and/or transmediality, they provoke daring attempts at reconceptualisations of this fundamental concept of modern narrative theory and novel studies. In addition, the two novels exemplify an increasingly common trend in contemporary fiction of undermining the traditional understanding of the novel as a monomodal (exclusively verbal) work and selfcontained, printed entity
Musique, que me veux-tu? Music, Meaning, and Narrative
Authors: Barska Joanna
Published: January 2020

Sloboda wrote that the meaning and emotions are the most important elements of the musical experience. The paper focuses on both these aspects and poses three questions about music and narrativity. First: whether or when can we talk about a narrative or narrativity with reference to musical works? Second: when can we speak of meaning in music? Third: in what way do our emotions affect that meaning and determine our interpretation of a musical work? Whenever a musical work is perceived as if it created a story in our mind, it is based both on the composer’s suggestions as well as on our own way of interpreting it, which depends on cultural factors. I make a distinction between two areas of music. The ﬁ rst one only stimulates individual emotions, reﬂ ections, recollections, etc., and it is represented, for instance, by etudes or fugues, without titles, commentaries, or any other hint as to the work’s semantic interpretation. This kind of music would produce a different, particular meaning for each listener – through its tempo, key, and character. The second area is the music with an intention of telling a story or at least implying certain moods, emotions, and meanings. The article analyses e.g. Franz Liszt’s Faust Symphony in Three Sketches after Goethe and Fryderyk Chopin’s Fantasy on Polish Airs in A major, Op. 13. and seeks the ways of applying the category of „tellability” to them so as to ultimately address the question whether a musical piece can be a story.
Philosophy as a Mockery of Truth: Humour in Plato’s Charmides
Authors: Skarbek-Kazanecki Jan
Published: January 2020

The article subsequently analyzes the examples of Socratic wit so as to illustrate selected functions of humour in Charmides, using the methodological framework based on the „taxonomy of wit” proposed by D.L. Long and A.C. Graesser (1988). Special attention has been paid to the prologue and to the myth about the Thracian magical incantation (epōidḗ) which Socrates learned from the physician and priest Zalmoxis. In the light of Socratic considerations of the human cognitive limits and the transmissibility of philosophy and knowledge, some forms of Socrates’ humour acquire an anti-dogmatic character; humour in Charmides is an expression of the philosophical inquiry and practice which involves the realization and acceptance of the human limits of knowledge.
Absurdity, Incongruity and Laughter. Philosophy
Authors: Plant Bob , Kręglewska Katarzyna
Published: January 2020

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus advocates scornful defi ance in the face of our absurd, meaningless existence. Although Nagel agrees that human life possesses an absurd dimension, he objects to Camus’ existentialist „dramatics”. For Nagel, absurdity arises from the irreducible tension between our subjective and objective perspectives on life. The article offers a critical reconstruction of Camus’ and Nagel’s positions, and elaborates Nagel’s critique of Camus in order to argue that humour is an appropriate response to absurdity.
„I did myself as a dog”. Leo Lipski’s Piotruś in the Light (and darkness) of the Henri Bergson’s and Georges Bataille’s Theories of Laughter
Authors: Pytko Mateusz
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the signifi cance of laughter which in Leo Lipski’s Piotruś with reference to Henri Bergson’s and Georges Bataille’s theories of laughter, as well as to Peter Sloterdijk’s concept of kynism. Bataille’s criticism of Bergson’s theory of laughter indicates that the latter philosopher avoids a comprehensive interpretation of this phenomenon. It is Bataille’s perspective that enables a better understanding of Lipski’s paradoxical laughter in the face of paralysis, death and sacrum.
Russian Studies in Żoliborz
Authors: Mitzner Piotr
Published: January 2020

This is a lecture by Wiktor Woroszylski on the Russian avant-garde group OBERIU that functioned in the Soviet Union in the years 1926–1930. The lecture was given in 1979 as part of the independent Scientific Courses Society. OBERIU was a group of poets and playwrights whose works represented a variety of surrealism and anticipated the literature/theater of the absurd. Their inspiration, however, was not philosophy, but the Soviet reality itself and the tradition of the grotesque in Russian literature. The works of most of the OBERIU writers did not appear until long after their deaths.
SUBJECTIVITY, CREATIVE ACT AND EROS OF WOMEN: "THE
ESSENCE" COMIC AND SELECTED FEMINIST THEORIES
Authors: Hamer Magda
Published: January 2020

Starting from the modern interpretation of the theories: parler femme by Luce Irigaray
(adopting a speaking position that will enable woman/women to articulate their own sexuality,
speak with their own voice) and écriture feminine by Hélène Cixous (a text freed by writing a
female desire that carries the potential of revolutionary transformations) I come to the theory
of the nomadic subject by Rosi Braidotti (the central categories are movement, changeability
and the endless process of shaping the subject). I ask questions about the possibilities and
limitations of finding or building a female identity and subject through creativity, empowering
women in the domain of images related to sexuality, and the right to talk about their desires as
creating their own place in the space of culture. As an example of creative acts building
subjectivity, I present an erotic comic "Being" which is the first collective work on Polish soil
that is supposed to express erotic fantasies from the perspective of women.

Authors: Chudoliński Michał
Published: January 2020

The author of the article "The Neurotic Knight. Reminiscing on Grant Morrison's and
Dave McKean's Arkham Asylum" wishes to present modern reflections on the genesis of
one of the most popular comic books about Batman. To this end, he recalls the diegesis
of the cultural work, which takes into account the originality of the story, the perception
of the graphic novel, as well as directly references the thoughts of the authors, Grant
Morrison and Dave McKean. Particular focus is put on the therapeutic function of the
comic, a theme which was discussed in the scholarship of i.a. Janina Scarlet. The
character of Batman and his antagonists were portrayed in Arkham Asylum in a
groundbreaking, very symbolic way, which at the same time imbued the reader with a
sense of dread. Thirty years after the publication, the author of the article reminisces on
Morrison's and McKean's work, drawing upon modern research methods and pop-
cultural references alike.

"Why so much noise?": Polish music comics
Authors: Lelek Jadwiga , Sierzputowski Konrad
Published: January 2020

This article is the result of research on the condition of Polish musical comics. The basis of
considerations are the comics of Marcin Podolec: Smoke and Fugazi Music Club, two works
of Krzysztof Owedyk: Blix and Żorżet and You will be frying in hell, as well as the worst
comic of the year by Maciej Pałka and Only calmly Bartek Glazy. The text aims to show the
relationships between Polish popular music and comics. Draws attention to the ways of
presenting musical subcultures and individual portraits in comic culture. It also introduces the
role of memory and nostalgia in the construction of illustrated musical stories in which the
real order mixes with the imaginary. The article points to the common points of these works
and takes into account the most important shortcomings of all six comics. It highlights the
marginalization of the role of women, both in the creative process and the discussed cultural
texts. Using the theories of Jacques Ranciere and Robin, James raises the question of male
dominance in the Polish music comic, while shedding light on the Polish music scene.
