The article in an attempt at reading two contemporary Polish women’s texts (Olga Tokarczuk’s Historie ostatnie [Last Histories] and Izabela Filipiak’s stories Korzenie [Roots]) in the perspective of Rosi Braidotti’s nomadic theory. As analytical instruments there appear such notions as: rooting/uprooting, settling in/homelessness, desire/longing, kinship/affinity, and foremost genealogy. That last category, which, after Foucault (and Nitzsche) Braidotti perceives as a negative discourse (“continuity in discontinuity”), turns out to be a key to understanding the sense of the project of women’s cultural nomadism. The trope of the mother’s relation, which is here a metaphor of the past, with her daughter, explains in the text the ambivalence inscribed in the process of transfiguration of “a migrant” or “an outlaw” into a “nomad”. A condition of transforming a negative sense of uprooting into a positive feeling (possible but not forced) of rooting is the persona’s creation of his/her own genealogy. It takes a form of a retrospective map of the places where we are not any more.

Between the human and the non-humanThis article refers to the collection of essays entitled Other Spaces, Other Places. Maps and Territories (Inne przestrzenie, inne miejsca. Mapy i terytoria, Wołowiec 2013), edited by Dariusz Czaja. Inspired by the well-known anthropological concept of „non-places” (coined by Marc Augé) and M. Foucault’s idea of „heterotopy”, Polish academicians and cultural critics present their own perspectives on space in its relation to human being, nature and history. Regarding themes like: literary tourism, reproduction of landscapes, city cameras, traumatic or empty memory of a place, ambivalent status of city perypheries, ruins and ghost-villages, authors discuss many different cultural, political, social and philosophical implications of the category of non-lieux in our contemporary experience of the world that surrounds us. In the review also a question on anthropocentrism of the humanities in general, has been put.

Women and the gender of the modern cityThis article is a review of the book Women on the Road. The experience of the public sphere in literature at the turn of 19th and 20th century by Agnieszka Dauksza. The book itself is an attempt at reconstructing and interpreting literary images of women’s experience of space in modern times. The most important context of the author’s analysis are transformations within the public and private spheres caused by the processes of modernization of the cities on the one hand, and emancipation of women on the other hand. The article refers to and discusses the crucial figures of female experience of the city frequently used in cultural and gender studies, namely: the figure of flâneuse, prostitute, house-wife and consumer. The review also touches upon the question of the modernist literary tradition and canon in order to point at the hidden „gender of modernity” and history of literature.

Still, time to sow ideas: Wielkopolski Alfabet Pisarek (The Alphabet of Women Writers in Greater Poland) edited by Ewa Kraskowska and Lucyna Marzec The article is a review of Wielkopolski Alfabet Pisarek (The Alphabet of Women Writers in Greater Poland) – a collective work which is an effect of historical research in the field of Polish women’s writing carried out by academicians collaborating with the Center of Feminist Criticism (Pracownia Krytyki Feministycznej, UAM, Poznań). The review points out the most important assumptions taken up by the editors and the authors of the compilation , which determined the methodological consequences in the book – namely: the signifi cance of the sex/gender category and local context in both the production of literature and academic knowledge about it. Also the generic form of an „alphabet” – with its arbitrariness and variety – was analyzed here as the manifestation of a general principle chosen by the editors to provide a comprehensive view of the literary tradition created by women-authors who were (or are) related to the region of Greater Poland.

HISTORY OF WOMEN’S LITERATURE – AN UNFINISHED PROJECT The text poses some questions concerning the future of the feminist history of literature in the context of contemporary transformations in the fi eld of “academic knowledge production”, as well as the rhetoric and politics of the women’s movement. Moreover, it draws attention to the emancipatory character of the early feminist literary projects relating to the recovery of women’s past and also problematizes the present-day notion of women’s “sister community”. The analysis of family metaphors often used in discussions concerning “mother heritage” in the 70s, points to differences between second- and third-wave understanding of the category of “belonging somewhere”. Looking at those arguable places in feminist criticism (e.g. Showalter, Gubar, Gilbert and Moi) allows one to notice changes in the way feminist scholars perceive the literary past. Finding a new critical language to describe the pluralistic and multidimensional nature of women’s literary tradition seems to constitute the biggest challenge to contemporary feminist studies.

The article presents an overview of Bronisława Waligórska’s book Listy z Cytadeli 1886 (Letters from the Citadel 1886), which were prepared for publication by Monika Rudaś-Grodzka together with the “Archiwum Kobiet” team. In this study, I present the methodological features of the Archive’s research project in the context of women’s history, while also referring to the ways in which the figure of Bronisława Waligórska has been placed in the context of the Polish tradition of cultural images of female revolutionaries. The article also draws attention to the restrictive role of myth in women’s biographies and underlines the importance of the body in the reclaiming the material (and historical) dimensions of women’s personal writings. The physical connection between the body and the space of the prison, as well as its influence on the form of correspondence, is also emphasized here.

Artykuł jest omówieniem książki Bronisławy Waligórskiej Listy z Cytadeli 1886, przygotowanej do druku przez Monikę Rudaś-Grodzką wraz z zespołem Archiwum Kobiet. Autorka przybliża metodologiczne rysy projektu naukowego Archiwum w kontekście koncepcji women’s history, jak również przygląda się postaci Waligórskiej w perspektywie zakorzenionych w polskiej tradycji kulturowej wyobrażeń rewolucjonistek. Zwraca także uwagę na ograniczającą dla kobiecych biografii rolę mitu oraz znaczenie cielesności w odzyskiwaniu materialnego (i historycznego) wymiaru przez ich osobiste zapiski. Podkreślony zostaje również związek między ciałem i przestrzenią więzienia oraz jego wpływ na kształt korespondencji.
