100%
EN
The article aims to investigate Francis Bacon’s works in the broader cultural and philosophical context. Tracking down the influence of other artists on Bacon’s art and the symbols visible in his paintings leads to valid conclusions related to the problems of the artists of the twentieth century. These are: human loneliness, abandonment by the Creator, reduction of human being to mere bodies and the question of the existence and location of an immortal soul.

The article focuses on the literary aspect of dream in Maria Grossek-Korycka's Sonaty mol. The poetics of dream is realized within selected works in the series through the use of the word 'sen' ('dream') or by introducing a romantic encrustation aura. The term 'senne ekspresje' ('dreamy expressions'), appearing in the title of this article, indicates a specific way of shaping the imaginative projections. The characteristic properties of the oneiric visions: the aesthetics of contrast, anthropomorphism, handling a wide range of colours, synesthesia as the main means of expression, deformation in the cause-and-effect relationship lead to a dreamy expressionist technique in the context of the individual sonatas. 'The texts' of verbalised phantasma activate an array of symbolic references and analogies. The poet goes back to the tradition of Kabbalah - a dream often manifests itself to the dreaming entity and becomes its peculiar emanation or attribute. This interpretation makes an attempt to read the contents of literary visions and includes the description of the general rules governing the oneirology of The Young Poland poet.

The  present  paper  analyses  Ivo  Vojnović’s  drama  Maškarate ispod kuplja  by  intending  to emphasize  the  importance  of  carnival  masks  considered  as  instruments  of  liberation  of individuals from social conformism. The protagonists of Vojnović’s  Maškarate show their non-conformist faces and experience freedom only incarnival season. The carnival is described  as  the allegory  of  surreal  and  phantasmagoric  world  displaying  pseudo-realistic situations that represent the deformed face or, rather, the alter of the masked reality. Masks are,  therefore, perceived  as  shields  from  the  frustrating  reality  and  external  influences, whereas life under masks is understood as the perfect model of concealing internal weaknesses and insecurities. The enchanting carnival atmosphere enables the protagonists to openly show the suppressed personality and personal choices. The clear model of searching for the illusion of the truth and the truth of the illusion is also shown, notwithstanding the complicating conditions of the emotional world of the protagonist-symbol who creates false identity provoked and conditioned by external factors. The influence of the Italian grotesque theatre has been reported as well, whereas the similarities have been perceived in particular in the behavioral pattern of the protagonists and perception  of  time and  place  as  metaphysical  categories.  The  determination  of  the  level of  interdependence between  the  Croatian  author  and  the  Italian  role models  has  also  been possible.  The comparison  with  the  Italian  literary  contemporaries  has  been  performed  by examining the intertextual correspondences in particular related to the selection of the „carnivalesque” motives.

Transforming Memory: Found Footage as a Mechanism of Cultural Reinterpretation The article is about the role of found footage in shaping the consciousness of the modern spectator in relation to historical cinematographic creations. The meaning and signifi cance of interpretation, as well as the aesthetics of experimental movies, shatter myths about classical narration and the understanding of film in its social normative role. Chosen films by Bill Morrison, Fabio Scacchioli and Peter Tscherkassky are analyzed in order to outline this issue.

‘Return to Ostrog’ by Sasha Filipenko: deformations and distortions of ‘behind the looking glass’ world in the novel contemplating «Russian longing» Return to Ostrog by Sasha Filipenko is an example of a contemplative novel in postmodern literature. This novel focuses on a comprehensive look at surrounding reality without judging it. The genre of Filipenko's novel is heterogeneous: though being based on real facts, it also has threads of detective novel, thriller and political satire. Staring at the eternal Russian longing on the physical, material, but, above all, mental and spiritual level becomes a key element of the narrative. In fact, this ubiquitous longing becomes one of the heroes of the novel. Ostrog's world could be percept as postmodern reminiscences to Shakespeare's Hamlet and Dostoyevsky's Notes from the House of the Dead. Ostrog is an inverted, deformed world and it becomes a mirror which reflects the mental and spiritual condition of modern Russian society. The theme of deformation and ‘behind the looking glass’ reality is realized in the Filipenko's work with many symbols. For example, the prison is a heart of Ostrog which made the city exist. And this prison has its reflection in the local orphanage. The semantic meaning of the word ‘return’ in the title of the novel becomes the epitome of the spiral movement of history – not only a history of Ostrog and its inhabitants, but, in fact, of the entire Russian society as well.

Powrót do Ostroga Saszy Filipenko: deformacja i wykrzywienia świata po drugiej stronie lustra w powieści-kontemplacji «rosyjskiej tęsknoty» Powrót do Ostroga Saszy Filipenko – jeden z przykładów funkcjonowania w literaturze postmodernistycznej powieści kontemplacyjnej skupiającej się na wszechstronnym spojrzeniu na rzeczywistość bez jej oceniania. Powieść cechuje heterogeniczność gatunkowa: w opartym na realnych faktach Powrocie do Ostroga obecne są wątki powieści detektywistycznej, powieści grozy, satyry politycznej. Elementem kluczowym narracji staje się wpatrywanie w odwieczną rosyjską tęsknotę – na poziomie fizycznym, materialnym, ale przede wszystkim mentalnym i duchowym. Owa wszechobecna tęsknota staje się wręcz jednym z bohaterów powieści. Świat Ostroga – postmodernistyczne reminiscencje do Hamleta Shakespeare’a i Wspomnień z domu umarłych Dostojewskiego. Jest to świat wywrócony, zdeformowany – zwierciadło odbijające mentalną i duchową kondycję współczesnego społeczeństwa rosyjskiego. Motyw deformacji i rzeczywistości po drugiej stronie lustra jest realizowany w utworze za pomocą wielu symboli. Sercem Ostroga, wokół którego to miasto się rozrosło, jest więzienie, którego odbiciem właściwie staje się sierociniec. Z kolei semantyczne obciążenie obecnego w tytule wyrazu „powrót” jest uosobieniem ruchu spiralnego historii nie tylko Ostroga i jego mieszkańców, lecz, w gruncie rzeczy, całego społeczeństwa rosyjskiego.
