This paper examines how fleeting experiences exert a disproportionately powerful effect on the language learning motivation and behavior of university students. A thematic analysis of interview data is used to show how significant incidents have two principal consequences. The first, anagnorisis, is an immediate, revelatory change in beliefs about language learning. The second, narrative incorporation, is a process through which the memory of the incident and/or its anagnorisis becomes a constituent of self-narratives. It is argued that the significant incident is best understood not as an external influence on motivation, but as a component of the learner’s worldview.

On 27 March, 2020, Pope Francis raised to the Lord a prayer of supplication in the name of the whole of humanity, seeking an end to the Covid-19 pandemic. In that occasion he gave an impressive homily based on the text of Mark 4,35-41, the famous account of the stilling of the storm. The present paper studies the triple attestation in the Synoptics (Matt 8,23-27; Mark 4,35-41; Luke 8,22-25), by considering the main difference on which it’s necessary to reflect with attention: Matthew reverses Mark and Luke in an important point. In fact, in Matt 8,26b, the injunction addressed to the wind and the sea falls after the question about the nature of the disciples’ faith, but in Mark 4,39b and Luke 8,24b the opposite happens: Jesus first calms the storm and only then asks the question about their faith. Why? With different strategies, all three Synoptics show that the disciples are men who, for all their slowness, will enter step by step into the anagnorisis of Jesus. In the course of the drama, the question with which the episode of the stilling of the storm concludes is really serious about Jesus’ identity. Beyond the differences of detail which emerge from the reading in parallel, the three Synoptics agree in conferring the same narrative emphasis on the disciples’ final question: “Who is this then, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” The question about who is this (τίς ἐστιν) forms the key query: if the Christological question continues after the description of the final solution, that means that, for the evangelists, the most important aspect is represented not by the miracle of the stilling of the storm but what that reveals about the identity of the protagonist of the story. The ultimate aim of the text concerns the identity of Jesus as God. The disciples are full of ὀλιγοπιστία because they are frightened of dying, not yet having learnt the perspective of eternal life: the one who speaks in the stilling of the storm is, yes, the Nazarene of history but still more the Risen One whom the great storm of death will have to obey in the morning of Easter.

Od rozpaczy do wiary: uciszenie burzy 27 marca 2020 r. papież Franciszek wzniósł do Pana modlitwę błagalną w imieniu całej ludzkości, prosząc o zakończenie pandemii Covid-19. Z tej okazji wygłosił impresywną homilię, opartą na perykopie z Ewangelii według św. Marka 4,35-41, słynnej relacji o uciszeniu burzy. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano potrójne świadectwo synoptyków o tym fakcie (Mt 8,23-27; Mk 4,35-41; Łk 8,22-25), biorąc pod uwagę główną różnicę, nad którą należy się uważnie zastanowić: Mateusz przestawia w ważnym punkcie kolejność wydarzeń podawanych w relacji Marka i Łukasza. W rzeczywistości w Mt 8,26b nakaz skierowany do wiatru i morza pojawia się po pytaniu o naturę wiary uczniów, a w Mk 4,39b i Łk 8,24b dzieje się odwrotnie: Jezus najpierw uspokaja burzę i dopiero wtedy zadaje pytanie o wiarę uczniów. Dlaczego? Wszyscy trzej synoptycy, stosując różne strategie, pokazują, że uczniowie są ludźmi, którzy, mimo całej swojej opieszałości w myśleniu, wejdą krok za krokiem w anagnorisis Jezusa. W trakcie dramatu pytanie, którym kończy się epizod uciszenia burzy, jest naprawdę ważne, jeśli chodzi o tożsamość Jezusa. Pomijając różnice w szczegółach, które wyłaniają się z równoległego czytania tekstów ewangelicznych, trzej synoptycy kładą w swojej narracji zgodnie ten sam nacisk na ostatnie pytanie uczniów: „Kimże On jest, że nawet wichry i jezioro są Mu posłuszne?”. Pytanie „kim On jest (τίς ἐστιν)?” jest kluczowe: jeśli kwestia chrystologiczna toczy się dalej po opisie ostatecznego rozwiązania, oznacza to, że dla ewangelistów najważniejszy aspekt nie jest reprezentowany przez cud uciszenia burzy, ale przez to, co ujawnia tożsamość bohatera opowieści. Ostateczny cel tekstu dotyczy tożsamości Jezusa jako Boga. Uczniowie są pełni ὀλιγοπιστία, ponieważ boją się śmierci, nie znając jeszcze perspektywy życia wiecznego: ten, który przemawia podczas uciszania burzy, jest Nazarejczykiem historii, ale jeszcze bardziej Zmartwychwstałym, któremu wielka burza śmierci będzie musiała być posłuszna w poranek Wielkanocy.

Although the use of anagnorisis in literature dates back to ancient times, it is still easily found in Henryk Sienkiewicz’s works. Aristotle defines anagnorisis as "a change from ignorance to knowledge, producing love or hate between the persons destined by the poet for good or bad fortune". This literary device appears in almost all novels by Sienkiewicz and is always aptly incorporated in a way which is a logical consequence of the events and which leads to revealing some kind of mystery. Coupled with dynamic plot, remarkable protagonists, and devices typical of Walterscottism, it accounts for the attractiveness of Sienkiewicz’s works. Most frequently, it is a recognition of a character be it against their will or at their volition, but also self-recognition, a moral or ideological initiation. The most excellent ones include anagnorisis in Whirlpools (solving the secret of Agnes Anney), in Sir Michael (unmasking Asia), and in The Deluge (Kmicic’s rehabilitation). In each novel the anagnorises used have intended impact on the reader and induce the empathic effect of Catharsis.

2 Kings 5:1–27 describes the healing of a foreigner, Naaman the Syrian, a high officer of the King of Damascus, by Elisha, a prophet in Israel. Naaman the Syrian suffers from a kind of skin disease called “leprosy” in the Bible. He thinks that, being rich and powerful, he is in possession of the means to get healed. He has to change his mind and his behaviour, though. He is healed when he agrees to listen to an Israelian maidservant, a slave, to the prophet Elisha, and to his own servants. When he bathes in the Jordan, he symbolically enters the Promised Land because he is healed and, at the same time, he acknowledges that Yhwh is the only Lord of the universe.

The subject matter of the article is the relationship between ancient literature and Brandstaetter’s writings. The Polish writer interprets motifs from Greek mythology and ancient dramas in the light of Christian anthropology. The author of the article demonstrates examples of such an interpretation in Brandstaetter’s “Odys płaczący” (“Odysseus Weeping”), in which the effect of anagnorisis is broadened by the Christian understanding of kenosis. Odysseus’ return home becomes a metaphor of the paschal passage from sin to grace.
