Centralnym tematem artykułu są inspiracje matematyczne we współczesnej humanistyce. Stanowi on próbę przeglądu różnych propozycji fi lozofi cznych, w których pojawiają się elementy topologii oraz matematyki chaosu i emergencji czy pojęcia takie jak fraktal, sfera, wstęga Möbiusa. Posługują się nimi Baudrillard, Agamben, Sloterdijk i Žižek. Obiekty i pojęcia matematyczne służą im za modele różnych konceptualizacji świata i zjawisk zachodzących w przestrzeniach symbolicznych tworzonych przez człowieka. Pozwalają na lepsze uchwycenie analogii i nieoczywistych podobieństw między wytworami kultury. Zapożyczenie nieobecnych dotąd w humanistyce metod myślenia czy schematów abstrahowania przyczynia się do przełamania zastałych schematów refl eksji i interpretacji.
EN
The main phenomenon discussed in the article is the presence of mathematical inspiration in contemporary humanities. The essay brings together samples of reflection by Baudrillard, Agamben, Sloterdijk and Žižek, in which certain topological objects or concepts belonging to the mathematics of chaos (fractal, sphere, the Möbius strip and so on) play an important role. The mathematical components introduced into the philosophical reflection serve as models of different conceptualizations of the world and of different phenomena occurring in the symbolic spaces created by man, helping to describe and analyze analogies and non-obvious similarities between objects of culture. Conceptual and methodological borrowings puncture the boundaries of the fossilized schemes of reflection and interpretation.

Al-Andalus: transkulturowa przestrzeń pamięci

Al-Andalus becomes a deterritorialized space of memory in which the notions of past cultural and intellectual excellence are used as a legitimisation for the contemporary aspirations of new societies, such as those of the United Arab Emirates. Andalusian texts and figures, such as the Lament for the Fall of Seville by Abu’l-Baqa’ al-Rundi or the legendary “aviator” Abbas Ibn Firnas are being digitalised in new interpretations made accessible on the Internet and reinvented in the consumerist culture. The memory of Al-Andalus forms a basis for a non-Western formulation of new universalism, fostering, at the same time, the necessity of reintroducing the term into the discourse of the contemporary humanities.

The aim of this article is to discuss the limited applicability of the “standard” post‑colonial method in the analysis of the Brazilian literature and culture. A new, trans‑ colonial paradigm is proposed instead, focusing on emerging idiosyncrasies rather than on the process of critical deconstruction of the European discourses and ideologies. In a comparative perspective confronting the studied case with other situations in the world, the article presents particular circumstances that shaped the trans‑ colonial pattern of development of the Brazilian culture. The factors and phenomena taken into the account are: the proportions of economic and cultural strength between the colony and its metropolis, the dynamics of the identity search that followed the moment of formal independence, the peculiarity related to the predominance of a non‑printed (oral or handwritten) culture and finally the emergence of cultural distinctiveness alien to Eurocentric canons.

From Agamben to Saville’s Bellies. Transgression into the Animal Condition in Post-Humanity, Primitive Humanity and Contemporary Art

The reflection presented in this article in three distinct “steps of inspiration” (Agamben, ethnology and art) interrelate apparently distant spheres of problems and cultural phenomena. The starting point is given by Agamben’s idea of the apocatastatic “opening of the community,” overcoming the human condition defined by exclusion. The second move will explore an ethnological inspiration. We will reflect upon the archaic search of transcendence through the animal and in the animal, corresponding to the stage of man before the “invention of monotheism” which introduced the concept of divinity defined by reduction and abstraction. As a working hypothesis, it is assumed that the monotheistic concept of God radically driven away from any biological analogy precedes and shapes the concept of humanity defined by exclusion from the universality of biological life

Dwa miasta i duch pustyni. Spór o doczesność

EN
The author comments on the debate concerning the ideal model of life in the perspective of history and philosophy of religion. Taking as the starting point George Steiner's criticism of the “tyranny of the Absolute” introduced by the monotheistic idea, she sketches an outlook of the sources and character of the tension between religious requirements and the desire for secular life in Christianity and Islam. Already at its beginnings, Islam treated this tension in quite a different way than historical Christianity, stressing the necessity to achieve the ideal state in this world; quite to the contrary, such ideas were contested by early Christians, who claimed that the Kingdom of the Christ is not from this world. As suggested by Bernard Lewis, Muhammad took on the role of Constantine, establishing a different tradition of universal law in which the distinction between public and private affairs is blurred. The modern and postmodern debate on the frontiers of the sacred and the profane is thus treated as a consequence of the historical beginnings of Christianity and Islam, as well as the primary principles with which both religions confronted the Mediterranean world of late Antiquity. The conclusion accentuates both the agonistic and dialogic character of the disagreement concerning the sacred and the profane of Christianity and Islam, treated as essential answers to the same, still pertinent question asked at the end of pagan Antiquity.

EREGNAT EM ILON. The Elitist and her Nomads

issue 28 Elitarne
1-15
EN
The essay is an attempt at capturing the secret of the symbiosis between the elitist humanities cultivated at the high-ranking universities and the academic outsiders. The problem at its core is the persistent lack of eminence of Polish humanities in the international context (that the author interweaves with her personal lack of eminence in the Polish context, creating a game of palindromes). Trying to indicate possible causes of this situation, the author comments on the marginalization (and self-marginalization) of the outsiders searching for new paths, the derived character of the approaches produced in Polish mainstream academia, as well as the narrowness of conservative corpus that Polish scholars work on; lacking originality is shown as a consequence of a relative poverty of new, unexplored materials. As an example of a dynamic, expanding corpus, studied in the leading academic contexts but not in Poland, the author brings about several examples of nomadic literature (the songs of Fulani shepherds, a novel by a Saudi writer, the modern poetry of Najd).

Battlements. Essay in critical nomadism

issue 24 Miasto i miejsce

EN
The essay is built around a basic architectonic pattern: that of battlements, alternating cubicles of stone and void. This image is treated as a synecdoche of the city, understood here not as a permanent settlement, but rather, paradoxically, as an empty space that is cyclically occupied by the nomads. The paradigmatic occupation by the newcomers can be found not only in Kafka, but also in Michał Paweł Markowski's book on travel, Dzień na ziemi. On the other hand, the notion of "critical nomadism" is taken from the Machinic Eros, a recent anthology of Guattari's writings on Japan. The problem of occupying space returns in his poem on a butoh dancer, published in this volume. Finally, the interconnection of nomadism and travel is traced back to the 7th century Arabian poet, Ka'b ibn Zuhayr, and his qasida Banat Su'ad. The battlements, architectonic element exploited in the building of Kirin Plaza in Osaka that Guattari compares with the medieval tower in Bologna, illustrates the problem of cyclophrenic rhythms of full and void, mass and empty form, as well as the experience of jet-lag, temporal suspension between 'too early' and 'too late' that is sought after not only by the postmodern tourist, but also by the Bedouin erotic subject, in love with a footprint: an arousing sign of bodily absence.

Justyna Olko, koordynatorka dwóch dużych projektów badawczych związanych z ginącymi językami mniejszościowymi, opowiada o tym, w jaki sposób przeszła od badań archeologicznych nad kulturami prekolumbijskimi do pracy z dzisiejszymi potomkami Azteków i działań na rzecz ochrony ich języka, nahuatl. Rozmówczynie zastanawiają się nad problemami prowadzącymi do porzucania mniejszościowych języków i trudnościami wiążącymi się z rewitalizacją, zarówno na meksykańskim, jak i na polskim gruncie, jako że doświadczenia z Nowego Świata są tu zestawione z polskimi działaniami na rzecz języka wilamowskiego i łemkowskiego. W ten sposób wyłania się nowy model humanistyki, stawiającej sobie już nie tylko cele poznawcze, lecz nastawionej także na bezpośrednią współpracę ze społecznościami lokalnymi.
EN
Justyna Olko, a leader of two important projects that deal with endangered languages, relates the path that has led her from archeology of pre-Columbian cultures to direct collaboration with the descendants of the Aztecs and the preservation of their language, the Nahuatl. The interviewer and the interviewee discuss the reasons why minor languages are spoken less and less often and the difficulties of revitalization, both in Mexico and in Poland. The experiences in the New World are juxtaposed with the Polish actions in favor of the Vilamovian and the Lemkovian. As a consequence, a new paradigm of humanities emerges, one understood not only as a research, but also as a direct collaboration with local communities.
