  • Prophecies of Civilizational Collapse 2.0: Michel Houellebecq’s Submission

    Open AccessEwa M Thompson, Ewa ThompsonARTICLEPorównania2024

    The paper interprets a fictional biography of a French university professor bored with life. He tries the usual medicines: sex and other physical pleasures, debates with peers, and monastery solitude. No remedy seems to work. He fails to pay attention to one of his student lovers who chose commitment to a set of beliefs in Israel over pointless existence in Paris. The novel ends with political power in France passing on to the Muslim Brotherhood.…

  • Historia i teraźniejszość, 1945–1979: Podręcznik dla liceów i techników [History and the present: A textbook for senior high and trade schools]

    Ewa M Thompson, Ewa ThompsonARTICLEThe Polish Review2024

    In some ways, this history-and-civics textbook is modeled on the American ones. The emphasis is on understanding the causes of events, rather than on chronological presentation of facts and their memorization. Hundreds of photographs (with captions) make the text student-friendly, and there is an audio part that can be purchased separately. Altogether, Professor Wojciech Roszkowski's textbook is dramatically different from the communist-inspired …

  • Teby-Smoleńsk-Warszawa [Thebes-Smoleńsk-Warsaw]

    Ewa M ThompsonARTICLEThe Polish Review2022

    The striking difference between this book and the recently published other books about postcommunist Poland and postcommunist Central Europe is the strong presence in it of ancient writers: not just Plato and Aristotle, but Hesiod, Thucydides, Cicero, and a host of others. They provide a standard against which contemporary politicians and their rhetoric are measured. Their presence indicates Dariusz Karłowicz's intention to articulate the deepest…

  • Anna Cienciala: What I Remember

    Ewa M Thompson, Ewa ThompsonARTICLEThe Polish Review2016

    I met Professor Cienciala in 1991 or 1992 at the University of Kansas, where I gave a talk. We were probably aware of each other’s existence before my visit but had never before met in person. In those days I strictly observed the academic canon concerning appropriate attire while giving a lecture: blouse and blazer it was, and of course trousers rather than a skirt. To my amazement, she came to my talk dressed in a flowery cotton dress, of the k…

  • Russia and Ukraine: Literature and Discourse of Empire from Napoleonic to Postcolonial Times

    Ewa M Thompson, Myroslav ShkandrijARTICLEThe Slavic and East European…2002

    Concepts of civilizational superiority and redemptive assimilation, widely held among nineteenth-century Russian intellectuals, helped to form stereotypes of Ukraine and Ukrainians in travel writings, textbooks, and historical fiction, stereotypes that have been reactivated in ensuing decades. Both Russian and Ukrainian writers have explored the politics of identity in the post-Soviet period, but while the canon of Russian imperial thought is wel…

  • The Search for Self-Definition in Russian Literature

    Ewa M ThompsonBOOKThe search for self-definition in…1991

    In Gorbachev's Russia and outside of it the strength and scope of Russian nationalism is currently a subject of strenuous scholarly debate. The many and varied forms national ideology takes in Russian literature are the subject of this collection of essays. Over the past two hundred years Russians have used their literature to express both conformist and nonconformist views on the relationship between the individual and society and on Russian nat…

    Résumé/SummaryLes lettres russes ont été dominées par l'archétype de l'homme obsédé par la recherche de la vérité et de la justice "le fou de Dieu." Il a fait son apparition par suite de certains traits caractéristiques de la vie sociale russe et par suite des préférences philosophiques des écrivains russes. Les types sociaux tels que "le fou au nom du Christ" (iurodivyi Khrista radi) et le pèlerin (strannik) ont prospéré dans la vie sociale russ…
