The data on the enterprises were drawn from the Polish official register of economic entities, i.e. REGON database.

The results obtained in this study offer comprehensive insights into the economic situation of Polish translation enterprises and suggest main criteria for the future sample selection: in terms of their legal and economic strength, and in terms of translational profile consistency expressed through the lexicon used in the identifying segments of their names in order to designate their core business.

2024-04-22T18:26:10+00:00

The article highlights the growing significance of transfer and the Third Mission in German universities, especially in literary studies. It argues that literary disciplines have been slow to define their approach to transfer, likely due to resource limitations or resistance to change. To address this, the article proposes “Literary Transferring” as a creative, philological method for integrating transfer concepts into literary studies, emphasizing the need for theoretical engagement to inform empirical practice and foster collaboration between authors, literary institutions and researchers.

Co Eliza Orzeszkowa pisała o małżeństwie w "Pamiętniku Wacławy. Ze wspomnień młodej panny" i "Marcie"

2024-06-03T10:28:18+00:00

This article focuses on the analysis of the issue of marriage amongst the landed gentry in nineteenth-century Poland as depicted in two novels by Eliza Orzeszkowa: "Pamiętnik Wacławy. Ze wspomnień młodej panny" (Wacława’s Memoirs: From the Memories of a Young Lady) and "Marta". The article examines how the images of marriage presented by the author show young women’s dependence on the will of the family and the decisions of their intended husbands. The analysis of these two novels aims to outline the traditional models of marriage prevailing at that time and to show what challenges and difficulties the heroines must go through in their lives. The images of marriage presented in the novels allow us to explore the complexity of the relationships between partners and to understand their social, cultural and psychological context. The article analyses the social context of such marriages, which often served to maintain the social and economic position of the relative families, as well as their impact on the lives of individuals, especially women, who were often deprived of independence and subordinated to men. The analysis of these topics allows for a better understanding of the socio-cultural realities of the period and reflection on the evolution of the institution of marriage and its role in the history of Polish society.

Nauka i filozofia w bajkach George Sand na przykładzie tekstów wybranych z tomiku bajek "Mówiący dąb. Opowiadania babuni"

2024-08-15T14:29:32+00:00

The purpose of this article is to show how multifaceted the fairy tales of George Sand are in terms of scientific and literary testimony. In addition, it demonstrates how the multifaceted nature of the prose makes it possible to put a different complexion on than previously: as a fabulist, rather than a heroine of 19th century scandals. By examining previous studies and relying on my own research. I present the interdisciplinary nature of the texts and the scientific theories and philosophical elements hidden in them, such as evolutionism, catastrophism, saintsimonism, socialism and reincarnation. By contextualizing and exploring autobiographical themes, the novelty and pioneering nature of Sand's fairy tales is confirmed. Additionally, an important aspect here is the audience to whom the writer addresses her texts.

Poza kategoriami – na przecięciu teorii feministycznych i queerowych

2024-09-11T19:21:48+00:00

Queer theory assumes that identity cannot be crystallized, which may seem contradictory to feminism, rooted in a distinction between cultural and biological sex and centered on women's identity. The aim of the article is to outline the network of connections between both concepts, paying particular attention to the issue of the feminist subject. A review of the mentioned theories may become the basis for reflection on the benefits of combining feminist and queer perspectives in literary studies. Considering the category of femininity in queer research allows for filling the gaps created by the marginalization of non-heteronormative heroines and writers.

"Na dnie" Maksyma Gorkiego w interpretacji polskiego teatru (na przykładzie wybranych spektakli)

2024-10-13T15:31:56+00:00

The subject of this sketch is a reflection on two productions of Gorky’s The Lower Depths by Leon Schiller and Krystian Lupa. The starting point for the analysis is the remarks situating Gorky's drama within the circle of philosophical problems. In this understanding, it becomes a story about the strength and power of man, as well as the conflict between truth and lies. Despite the stereotypes regarding the perception of this drama, thanks to the successful techniques and gimmicks used by both directors, the performances created by them became the apotheosis of man. They also responded to the need of their times – the power of creation of the post-war time and the power of the dream of the present. In both cases, they managed to see and show the universal values encoded in the text, resulting in multidimensional performances that interpret Gorky's text in a universal and timeless way.
