Skowyt przyjaciółek
Przedmiotem artykułu są transfeministyczne narracje w dwóch zinach poetyckich: Zniszczona Cindy Eileen Myles i Silesian Gothic Anouk Herman, które ukazały się nakładem niezależnego wydawnictwa Girls and Queers to the Front. Artykuł bada, w jaki sposób narracje poetyckie i związane z nimi oddolne praktyki wydawnicze w Polsce tworzą nową, transfeministyczną i queerową przestrzeń protestu, powstającą w odpowiedzi na materialną i symboliczną przemoc.…
Contamination as Collaboration
Frames of the Anthropocene is a collaborative digital exhibition launched by the Virtual Museum of the Anthropocene in 2021. Envisioned as a work-in-progress, the exhibition simultaneously archives and performs the memory of the ongoing anthropogenic changes in different environments. It is argued that many of the photographs, while seemingly focusing on various kinds of human-produced waste, in fact represent multifarious constellations and coll…
Mind the (time) gap
According to Amitav Ghosh (2016), climate change constitutes also a “crisis of the imagination,” as it evades our grasp due to the vastness of its temporal frame. Any shifts in climatic patterns are measured in geological time, whose uncanniness makes it difficult for people to meaningfully relate to it. Hence, addressing the current crisis must start by finding ways of enhancing our imagination and capacity for understanding. It can be argued th…
Trafiają się przekłady bardzo dobre i wtedy jest wielkie święto”
W historii polskiej literatury tłumaczonej z języków obcych czasopismo Dialog zajmuje szczególne miejsce. W kraju o słabej tradycji drukowania tekstów dramatycznych miesięcznik od przeszło pół wieku regularnie publikuje przekłady dramatów z krajów europejskich i pozaeuropejskich. Istotna rola Dialogu w kulturze przekładu w Polsce nie jest jednak powszechnie znana, co unaoczniły niedawne dyskusje towarzyszące kryzysowi w piśmie po mianowaniu przez…
Chateaubriand’s literary identity
The aim of this article is to examine how Chateaubriand's translation of Milton's Paradise Lost influenced his monumental portrayal of the memorialist in Memoirs from Beyond the Grave. The writer is aware that his work marks the culmination of his literary creation: hence the reference to Milton drawing on the beauty and universalism of the Bible. In this context, the works of both writers show convergence in terms of thematic and stylistic threa…
Introduction
Materials and Media of Infrastructure
Mediating the Tree
Background: Through a close reading of the four issues of The Bowater Papers, this article aims to understand the rise of a paper modernity and to reinsert it—as material and infrastructure—into media studies. Analysis: Producing wood paper is a strain on the landscape and the environment. The Bowater Papers showcases the histories and material possibilities of paper media products. A paper-dependent modernity can be understood as an infrastructu…
Bratobójstwo w melodramacie Duch opiekuńczy, czyli Diabeł niewieści Guilberta Pixerécourta
The aim of this paper is to analyze the theme of fratricide in its visual, moral and verbal aspect. Fratricide, thanks to the reference to the sublime, is presented in a double aspect: as an insurmountable taboo and as a driving force that allows the hero to change his fate. Thanks to the ludic formula abounding in sudden plot twists and pictorial scenes, the viewer identifies with the problematic. On the other hand, the reference to such strong …
‘Words are few. Dying too’
There is a widespread belief that since words, belonging to the temporal dimension and ultimately formulated by the body, bind the utterer to human reality, the transcendental must lie beyond language. Ewa Wąchocka (2005) proposes a category of “transcendental silence” to mark those moments in a dramatic text which transgress ordinary silences and pauses to hint at something much more profound and inexpressible. One of the famous proponents of “l…
Trudności związane z przekładem elementów kulturospecyficznych w literaturze kryminalnej
Challenges of translating cultural embeddedness in crime fiction: a picture from Croatia The aim of the present study is to examine the specific features of translating crime fiction genre in Croatia in the 2000s. Frederic Jameson (qtd. in Rolls, Vuaille-Barcan & West-Sooby 2016) foregrounded the notion of crime fiction’s role as the new Realism due to the importance it places on historical and geographical specificity, and the social fabric of o…
Nano-Optical Image-Making
This article provides a technical overview of nano-optical image-making produced in collaboration between the author, engineering scientists at the Ciber Lab in Vancouver and the artists Christine Davis and Scott Lyall. It situates the work in relation to other optical technologies (such as holographs), to the primary application of nano-optical images as authentication devices and to other artistic practices concerning nanoscale interactions of …
Failing Adulthood, Queering Girlhood
The Intrinsic Value of Valuable Paper
Authentication devices transform cheap paper into legitimate documents. They are the sensory, informational, and computational features that make up valuable papers like banknotes and passports, and they provide the confidence required in moments of exchange and passage. These devices - which include techniques like watermarks and specialized threads, proprietary substrates and inks, or RFID chips - are the product of security printing, an indust…
Mediating Poles
Site-Specificity in the Postsocialist City
Increased transnational and cross-cultural exchanges raise questions about the enduring meaning of site, locality, and rootedness. Media art’s ability to animate architecture offers provocative ways of reclaiming urban narratives and site-specificity. In Poland, such interventions into the urban landscape pluralize history and challenge the institutionalized narratives of cultural memory in order to rebuild the civic identity needed for a democra…
