Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz’s The Crazy Locomotive was published in 1968 in the collection of Witkacy’s dramas The Madman and the Nun and Other Plays translated into English by Daniel Gerould and C. S. Durer. As a translator and a researcher of Witkacy’s works, Daniel Gerould takes a double role. He interprets Witkacy’s play not only in his explicit comments published in his study Witkacy. Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz as an Imaginative Writer (1981) or in the introduction to The Crazy Locomotive, but also in his translation of the drama. The author of the article presents how Gerould’s explicit interpretation of The Crazy Locomotive as a catastrophic play, where the machine wreaks auto-destruction (which is not necessarily obvious in the Polish version), may influence the translation of the text into English. In her analysis of the Polish, French and English versions of the play, the author reveals different interpretational acts of the translators.

Zbigniew Herbert (1924-1998) and Ted Hughes (1930-1998) are not often compared in critical studies, though—as Terry Gifford claims—Herbert was one of several Eastern European poets who influenced Hughes’s work. In this paper, I refer to Hughes’s remarks on Eastern European poetry and present the possible reasons for Hughes’s admiration of Herbert at the end of 1960s. I wish to present Herbert’s and Hughes’s poetry as introducing certain new qualities into post-war European poetry. However, the main aim of my work is to juxtapose the protagonists of Herbert’s and Hughes’s collections, Mr Cogito (Pan Cogito, 1974) and Crow (1970), thus initiating a kind of dialogue between the “civilized” figure of Herbert’s Mr Cogito and the “barbaric” figure of Hughes’s Crow. I examine how “civilization” (especially Christian civilization) is perceived through the lenses of two contemporary poets – one from the West and the other from the East.

The article presents a comparative analysis of two literary images of Gdańsk city. The author compares Freie Stadt Danzig immortalized by Gunter Grass in his famous novel The Tin Drum [Die Blechtrommel, 1959] with a postmodern Gdańsk of Paweł Huelle described by the Polish writer in his recently published book The Last Supper [Ostatnia wieczerza, 2007]. The theory of the grotesque – introduced by German researcher of this mode, Wolfgang Kayser (Das Groteske. Seine Gestaltung in Malerai und Dichtung, 1957) – serves as a tool for this comparative analysis. Although Gdańsk in The Tin Drum and in The Last Supper is presented as a radically different city, that is to say, as the historic Free City of Danzig (the Gdańsk of Germany) in The Tin Drum and a futuristic metropolis (the Gdańsk of Poland) in The Last Supper, a common ground for these two diff erent accounts can be established. Gdańsk is introduced by both novelists as a city on the brink of revolutionary historic events – it becomes a place of grotesque alienation where the status quo of the co-existing cultures is threatened and return to the previous state is impossible. Kayser’s idea of the grotesque as an alienating world has been employed here to present the ways of manifesting, inter alia, the desecration of cultural sacrum, the encounter with madness and the threat that comes from the outside as well as from the inside of German or Polish culture. Furthermore, the author introduces the idea of a clown-narrator and a preacher-narrator as the complementary ways of telling a story by using the grotesque mode.

Pan Kiehot by Günter Grass is one of many literary incarnations of Cervantes’s Don Quijote. Grass created his hero in a double manner: the character exists in the poem Pan Kiehot, published in Gleisdreieck in 1960, and a fragment of a chapter in The Tin Drum, the novel published in 1959. The poem has been translated six times into Polish, by Jan Koprowski, Krzysztof Karasek, Bolesław Fac, Zdzisław Jaskuła, Wojciech Woźniak and Ryszard Sobieszczański), whereas The Tin Drum, only once, by Sławomir Błaut. The article analyses all the translations into Polish, as well as the translation into Kashubian by Jan Trepczyk, in the context of the notion of translation series and textualisation series, proposed by Marta Skwara, and with reference to theorists of quixotism, such as Arne Melberg, Josè Ortega y Gasset and Michel Foucault, as well as to German and Polish critics of Grass’s work. The author draws conclusions about the challenge of a different form of interpretation, multiplied interpretation, which is facing the reader of a translation or textualisation series. Every translator who works on a text that has been translated before, must face various anxieties: “the anxiety of influence”, which is often coupled by horror vacui, and fear of imperfect rendition of source-texts meanings (as described by Jerzy Jarniewicz). Thanks to translation series, and works that constitute textualisation series together with translations, Grass’s Pan Kiehot is inscribed in entirely new interpretative framework: each new translation, thus, constitutes a challenge for the translator and for the imagination of a reader of the series.

Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu emigracji na stopień pozyskania nowych lub rozwinięcie dotychczas posiadanych wiedzy i umiejętności. Badanie sondażowe pozwoliło na uzyskanie odpowiedzi od 160 respondentów – Polaków przebywających co najmniej 12 miesięcy za granicą. Wyniki badania wskazują, że blisko co czwarty badany, decydując się na emigrację, kierował się chęcią pozyskania nowych lub rozwoju posiadanych kompetencji, a blisko co piąty wyrażał chęć pracy w międzynarodowym środowisku. Aż 84% respondentów deklaruje, że dzięki pracy za granicą pozyskało lub rozwinęło wiedzę i umiejętności, które przez większość badanych są wykorzystywane w obecnej pracy. Co trzeci badany wskazuje także, że chce powrócić do kraju ojczystego lub wyjechać do innego kraju trzeciego. Oznacza to, że migracja przyczynia się do wzbogacenia kapitału ludzkiego i „cyrkulacji mózgów” pomiędzy krajami.

The aim of this article is to identify the determinants that have the greatest influence on wages in Poland between 1995 and 2014. The analysis was made using the Gretl program, which allows the verification of econometric models, in this case the model of the determinants of wages. 20-year period of the analysis will indicate trends, taking into account important occurrence of labor market development, i.e. decrease/increase of an unemployment rate, employment and labor productivity. The analysis has shown that the labor productivity had a significant impact on the average level of wages in Poland during this period, while the unemployment rate had no effect on wages. Data analysis was preceded by theoretical aspects concerning the labor market and issues related to wages.

The phenomenon of population aging exists in many developed countries. Poland is one of the countries which is faced this problem. Due to the rapidly progressing demographic changes, the aging of the Polish society is becoming increasingly important challenge for the economics. One consequence of the growth in the number of elderly people in society is a greater demo-graphic burden, that without significant reforms may lead to a deterioration of the economic situation throughout the country. The aim of this article is to present four areas (health care, labor market, lifelong learning, family policy), which should address the most important changes, aimed at reducing the burden of aging population on the economy. Data published by the Central Statistical Office of Poland and literature studies were used to the analyze.

Celem artykułu jest ocena sytuacji uczelni galicyjskich po uzyskaniu przez Galicję autonomii. Skupiono się w nim na sytuacji uniwersytetów oraz Szkoły Politechnicznej we Lwowie, m.in. na liczbie wykładowców, słuchaczy i wykładów na tych uczelniach. Rozpatrywano również kwestię materialnego wsparcia nauki. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala na wyciągnięcie wniosku, że uzyskanie przez Galicję autonomii przyczyniło się do rozwoju szkolnictwa oraz poprawy poziomu wykształcenia społeczeństwa. Dzięki większemu dostępowi do finansowania mogły się rozwijać również nowe dziedziny nauki. Sytuacja na objętych analizą uczelniach była podobna. Od początku okresu autonomii w Galicji wzrastała liczba wykładowców, wykładów oraz słuchaczy. Powstawały nowe wydziały, katedry czy kierunki kształcenia. Z uwagi na charakter kształcenia uczelnie galicyjskie wykształciły wielu sławnych humanistów.
