The present sketch deals with the speaking possibilities of heroines in epic poems. In accordance with former social practices, heroines cannot make speeches at meetings and gatherings, at feasts, or during intervals on hunting expeditions. Their utterances are of an anti-rhetorical nature. Heroines may take part in dialogues and also makes use of internal speech. An excellent example of an internal monologue in a romantic narrative poem is Telimena's monologue in Book V of 'Master Thaddeus', consistently maintained in apparently reported speech. The monologue in question is distinct both from the narrative into which it is neatly mounted (it is accompanied by the accounts about behavior) and from the words the heroine herself utters in her dialogues. It does not inform the reader of any facts, rather it reveals her train of thought, weighs up the possibilities and - like the figure of Telimena in general - has comic overtones. In presenting her train of thought, the monologue is highly innovative. It anticipates phenomena that would appear in novels only in the final decade of the nineteenth century.

LITERARY STUDY VERSUS CULTURAL SCIENCES

Should one understand the term 'culture' in a broad manner, as pursued by certain anthropologists or sociologists, literary scholarship/criticism would simply, like any other humanistic discipline, become part of cultural studies. This possible option should be taken into consideration, yet such a thesis, when assumed, appears not to open any novel opportunities. What it does is it condemns one to generalisation, however correct the latter might be. Should, however, the category in question be understood in a narrower way, then a whole series of issues occurs, along with various difficulties, of which one should merely become aware. For instance, why should so-called internal methods be usually approached as independent of the discipline called cultural studies, whilst others, being shaped otherwise in methodological terms, tend sometimes to be merged therewith? And, there is the very basic problem: Within what concepts is the issue of literary language designed for singling literature out of such context, and in what sorts of concepts does it provide a link to/with the related general-cultural phenomena? Plus, there is the issue of literary folklore study. The role of sociology of language as an entity linking literary study and cultural theory. What is the actual place of history in this context? Problem spheres connected with cultural studies: literature vs. traditional habits/morals; literature vs. other cultural institutions. There is a certain conventionality about singled-out cultural-science fields: cultural science appears to encompass certain not-as-yet-fully-crystallised items.

PATRIOTIC DISCOURSE VERSUS NATIONALIST DISCOURSE

The author discusses the crisis of the patriotic discourse pointing to the expansion of nationalist discourse in the present-day Poland. The fundamental distinctions between the two types of discourse have been discussed. The nationalist discourse defines a national community in ethnic ('blood ties') and religious ('Polish and Catholic') terms rather than in cultural terms. It appeals to frustrations and fear, the figure of the allpresent enemy and its conspiracies against the nation who is in a permanent danger of being deprived of its goods and values are characteristic features of the nationalist discourse too. On the other hand, the patriotic discourse defines a national community in cultural terms, it focuses on the positive, beneficial and favourable aspects, the mythical enemy is not present in this discourse.

Jan Blonski's essay after years

The author reflects upon Jan Blonski's essay 'Biedni Polacy patrza na getto' (Poor Poles look at the ghetto) nearly twenty years of its publication by 'Tygodnik Powszechny'. He points at the innovative character of the depiction of Polish-Jewish issues in the moral context, outside of all the political embroilments. Blonski's voice is unique, because it acknowledges, in the spirit of the Gospels, that analysis of Polish-Jewish relations is a fundamental issue for the Polish society, a 'homework' that needs to be done. This essay, the author claims, is free from the embroilment in the dualism of the negative and positive myths regarding these relations. He writes about reactions to this text, the letters to the editor and notes one particular voice, which he reads as an internalised nationalist ideology and the dangerous continuation of the nationalist discourse. The article concludes the post scriptum, in which the author refers to another article, published in 2006 by 'Gazeta Wyborcza', regarding the current historical policy, whose proponents see Blonski's essay as a negative reference point. He notes that this essay constantly evokes strong emotions, and, as an expression of critical patriotism, still has its ardent opponents.
