Polish Literature And The Holocaust (19391968)

by Dorota Krawczyska, Jacek Leociak e Sawomir Burya

81,16€ + 10% CARD

 Polish Literature and the Holocaust (19391968) scrutinizes literary and documentary testimonies produced during or after the extermination of Jews in the Second World War and rooted in that historical, political, and anthropological context. Whether someone wrote a text during or after the war influenced the nature of what was communicated. Hence, the authors divided this publication to separately cover two periods: 19391944/45 and 19451968. This publication overviews belles-lettres, personal document literature, and press publications. Almost all texts were written in the Polish language. The genre category constitutes the basic compositional criterion. The individual parts of our publication discuss poetry, narrative prose, personal document literature, and the press discourse.

Gender Structuring Of Contemporary Slovenia

58,37€ + 10% CARD

 This volume offers a new view on gender structuring in contemporary Slovenia and the persistence of the gender order produced and reproduced through gender regimes in education, work, family life and politics. With a focus on the low presence of women in politics, the study analyses empirical data, mapping structural changes, delays of changes and the persistence of existing social structures over several decades. It appears that the choices individuals make in their lives are made in a specific social context of structural opportunities and obstacles. As such, gender difference is first socially produced and later universally used for justification of that stratification.

The Icon Debate - Religious Images In Russia In The 15th And 16th Centuries

by Aleksandra Sulikowska

77,91€ + 10% CARD

 The book explores the subject of Russian icons and their changes as well as the discussion on art that unfolded in Russia in the 15th and 16th centuries. Taking the representation of the Old Testament Trinity, attributed to Andrei Rublev, as its point of departure, it discusses and analyses the key issues of the iconography of the Holy Trinity and the process of the emergence and the dissemination of the imagery of God the Father and the New Testament Trinity in Russia. These issues are framed in the context of the debate that took place at the time within the Muscovite Orthodoxy, which concerned heresy, the relations with other denominations, the identity of the Russian Orthodox Church and the place of the icons in the existing canon.

La Révolution Oubliée - Lémergence Dune Écriture Féminine Polonaise Dans Lentre-Deux-Guerres

by Agata Araszkiewicz

63,40€ + 10% CARD

 Aniela Gruszecka, Irena Krzywicka, Wanda Melcer, Pola Gojawiczyska... Voici les noms des femmes inconnues en France et peu connues en Pologne, les noms « à laccent », à la sonorité exotique. Le travail dAgata Araszkiewicz montre que ces femmes-écrivaines de lentre-deux-guerres sont les précurseurs de lécriture féminine. Leur écriture tant sous-estimée représente en fait la place de limaginaire féminin véritablement révolutionnaire. Il sagit là dinterroger le cadre de notre modernité, mais aussi, de savoir si on peut avoir du plaisir à fréquenter ces textes des femmes. (Professeur Agnieszka Grudziska, Les Etudes Slaves, Sorbonne Paris IV (France)) Araszkiewicz amène une nouvelle perspective sur l<339>uvre des femmes-écrivaines en Pologne. Son travail est basé sur lacquis de la critique littéraire aussi bien française, sous le signe de « lécriture féminine » (H.Cixous, L.Irigaray, J.Kristeva), quoutre-Atlantique (S. Gilbert, S. Gubar, N. K. Miller, E. Showalter). Lauteure analyse les relations entre le discours de lémancipation et lesthétique du roman, la signification des thèmes homosexuels ou encore les questions du langage et de la textualité du corps. Elle propose des interprétations créatives de textes, expliquant leur absence du canon littéraire officiel et les raisons du dénigrement de la valeur esthétique des <339>uvres des femmes quon « ne savait pas lire ».

by Joanna Tokarska-Bakir

 Focused on the struggle to survive by the Jewish Poles stranded in the Polish countryside during the Holocaust, case studies collected in this volume are based on research carried out at Polands Institute of National Remembrance. Where possible, they are also complemented by Jewish survivors testimonies dispersed throughout the world. There are at least two leitmotifs recurring throughout all texts: What are the social correlates of the anti-Jewish violence undertaken by Polish neighbours without German initiative and even knowledge? Are there certain types of social relationships more subject or prone to this kind of violence? What was the role of peasantry, social elites, and Catholic church in inciting and perpetrating it? Was this violence influenced by the Holocaust, or was it a separate form of genocidal violence?
