Aquacritical Vistula
This article focuses on an aquacritical reading of literary sources within the emerging historiography of flooding. In 1934 the largest flood in the history of the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939) happened. After summer torrential rains the tributaries of the main river in Poland, the Vistula River, disrupted the functioning of the centrally-managed and newly recovered state. By using a deep mapping tool for river-related discourse analysis and…
The Vistula, Overgrown Shrubs, and Untended Gardens in the Literature of Postwar, Communist Warsaw
The article offers to combine the environmental history and memory of Warsaw on the example of analyses of literary works relating mainly to the post-1939-war and communist periods. These references involve specific places, such as the Vistula River, wastelands and abandoned allotments. In addition to brief exemplifications from Marek Hłasko and Dorota Masłowska, the psychogeographical interpretation of the environmental realities of post-war War…
Zoöpolis” — miasto ludzi i zwierząt
Tekst jest komentarzem do polskiego przekładu Zoöpolis Jennifer Wolch, w którym amerykańska badaczka postuluje międzygatunkową teorię miasta. Barcz przedstawia najważniejsze problemy podjęte przez Wolch oraz pokazuje, co koncepcja zoöpolis ma do zaproponowania antropocentrycznym studiom miejskim. Ekologizuje ona bowiem zarówno studia nad miastem, jak i samą koncepcję nowoczesnego „miasta-kultury”
Zoöpolis”
Bez uznania, że miasto jest także środowiskiem i częścią dzikiego świata, do którego należą
Wisła akwakrytyczna
Obecnie zajmuje się ekokrytyczną historiografią i kulturową adaptacją do groźnych zjawisk
Vulnerability and Resilience Embedded in Discourses
The sociology of knowledge approach to discourse assumes that cultural knowledge—and thus cultural spaces—are generated and shared through discourse. Actors’ shared perceptions of vulnerability and practices to create resilience should be interrelated with knowledge provided by the relevant discourses of local and historical influence. However, these assumptions have not been thoroughly examined. This study compares river-related knowledge (conce…
Wróbel – drogowskaz, na drodze jeż. O przemocy wobec zwierząt w metapoetyckiej refleksji Anity Jarzyny
[A sparrow as a signpost, a hedgehog on the road: on violence against animals in Anita Jarzyna’s metapoetic reflection] Recenzja: A. Jarzyna Post-koiné. Studia o nieantropocentrycznych językach (poetyckich), Wyd. UŁ, Łódź 2019
Animals and Their People
Animals and Their People: Connecting East and West in Cultural Animal Studies, edited by Anna Barcz and Dorota Łagodzka, provides a zoocentric insight into philosophical, artistic, and literary problems in Western, Anglo-American, and Central-Eastern European context. The contributors go beyond treating humans as the sole object of research and comprehension, and focus primarily on non-human animals. This book results from intellectual exchange b…
The Oder – a river that floods
This article discusses inter and post-war works of fiction written by Polish and German-speaking authors with biographical connections to Oder River regions. The literary texts provide insights into the vulnerability to and resilience constructions of floods, which are related to such cultural factors as migrant histories and traditions, regional beliefs and religion, and the political background of changing frontiers in 1919 and 1945 that affect…
O rzece, która wylewa. Literatura i nowa pamięć o powodzi
Barcz presents an exemplary overview of literary works – most written after the war – concerning the River Oder and the theme of the flood. Works by writers such as Hans Niekrawietz, Horst Bienek, Olga Tokarczuk, Tomasz Różycki and Janusz Rudnicki contribute to our understanding of how people describe the process of coming to terms with the river’s flooding. Barcz discusses how memory helps us understand powerlessness and adapt to the threat of f…
Wprowadzenie do zookrytyki (teorii zwierzęcych narracji)
The article’s starting point is to recognize what is the relation between the cultural animal studies and empirical research, particularly: what is the role of the cognitive ethology in humanities, what kind of merger we are observing, and if and how transdisciplinarity is possible here. One of the solutions, presented in the article, is to analyse animal texts of culture within a zoocritic perspective. This perspective aims at developing animal …
Posthumanism and Its Animal Voices in Literature
In the article posthumanism is not only presented but also seen from the perspective of literary studies and human-animal relationship. The author follows Cary Wolfe’s What is posthumanism? and analyses what consequences this criticism on human subjectivity would have when applied to animal narratives and animal characters mainly in Kafka, Bulgakov and Rilke. These writers use anthropomorphism to represent nonhuman animals but, simultaneously, th…
Zwierzęta i ich ludzie
Co humanistyka może zaproponować w kwestii zwierzęcej, czego nie umożliwiają ani etologia, ani ewolucjonizm, ani nauki przyrodnicze? Co istotnego oferują badania kulturowe, czego nie wyczerpuje etyka praw zwierząt ani socjologiczne badania ludzko-zwierzęcych relacji? Co wnoszą studia nad zwierzętami, czego brakowało zarówno w dotychczasowym modelu uprawiania nauki, jak i w społecznych ruchach na rzecz zwierząt
Między Człowiekiem a Bestią
