A diary and a few letters and poems have been preserved from the time when Michał Leon Obuchowicz (circa 1630–1669) was in Moscow slavery (1660–1662). These various texts, which illuminate one another, express the difficult experience in ways characteristic of their genres. The diary was published twice (1859 and 2003) and the contemporary edition was enriched with official and private correspondence. The basis of the last edition of the diary is an eighteenth-century copy of Obuchowiczes’ silva rerum book (MS BK 358). The book contains also unpublished poems related to slavery, which can be attributed to Obuchowicz. The most interesting of them is Lament więźnia (see Annex). It is, similarly to Zbigniew Morsztyn’s Duma niewolnicza, an example of autobiographical lyric created by a soldier. Genologically, it forms a variation of the lamentation on Fortuna‘s instability.

The article presents the accounts of Polish diarists’ overseas travels (16th–17th century), which include descriptions of parks and gardens. The authors: Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł “Sierotka” and Karol Stanisław Radziwiłł, Krzysztof Zawisza, Jan Ocieski, Teodor Billewicz, Maciej Rywocki, and others marvelled at the impressive gardens and bestiaries in France, Italy, Spain and the Holy Land. In the travellers’ accounts – diverse in terms of their attention to detail – there appeared descriptions of gardens, their location and arrangement, together with some opinions and evaluations made by the authors. What drew their particular attention and admiration were magnificent fountains, exotic plants and animals.

Metacognition is a complex construct widely investigated in SLA studies, also those that focus on reading skills and reading comprehension. Ample research points to metacognition as a strong predictor in developing foreign language reading skills, thus promoting metacognitive strategies in FL education is highly recommended. This paper presents a report on a study in which Polish FL learners kept a diary for a period of one month and wrote comments in reference to the reading classes in which they participated. The data obtained from the students’ narrations allowed to examine the learners’ metacognitive beliefs defined in the study as knowledge about cognition, consisting of three components: person knowledge, task knowledge, and strategy knowledge (Flavell, 1981). The diary data were analyzed in a global narrative way, which enabled the researcher to examine a complex character and a dynamic nature of metacognition in relation to the reading lessons. The findings underline a double role that learner diaries played in this study: as a research tool useful in investigating learners’ metacognition and an effective task that seemed to facilitate the learners’ reflection skills.

The article points out the strands connected with music and the musical life in Poland in Dzienniki by Stefan Kisielewski. Kisielewski has been writing his Dzienniki between 1968 and 1980. There are numerous references to the composers, musicians and musicologists contemporary to Stefan Kisielewski with the author’s opinions on them and their works. Kisielewski presents often very sharp, uncompromising and scathing views about the people mentioned in his diary. The literary genre of diary is personal and not destined to be published though not devoid of the elements of the literary creation. This is why Kisielewski could express here his opinions freely, without the fear of a censorship. The pages of Stefan Kisielewski’s diary testified also to his anxiety about his own com-positions’ artistic value. This is a fascinating evidence of his artistic process of composing and writing. The text underlines the fact that Dzienniki is a very illuminating book, with a great doc-umentary and factual value. It gives a true picture of the difficult artistic life in PRL in the 60s and 70s, under the domination of the communist ideology. Simultaneously this is an invaluable record of Stefan Kisielewski’s complex and colourful personality. The article depicts also the changes in Kisielewski’s views on music and his own artistic activity as time goes by.

The purpose of this article is to explore the traditions and customs commemorated by the school community from the Austrian annexation. It presents their involvement in the celebration of national anniversaries (e. g. the adoption of the Constitution of May 3, the battle of Raclawice, uprisings) and religious ones (including Christmas, Easter, Corpus Christi, All Souls’ Day). On the other side, it shows events associated with Polish education (e. g. National Commission of Education day) and also the functioning of the school (school anniversaries, the day of the patron saint of the school). It takes into consideration the ways of commemorating the achievements of people who contributed to the history of Polish learning and culture (e. g. Tadeusz Kościuszko, Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki). In addition, it explores the attitudes of the teachers to Polish traditions and customs. The above issues are illustrated on the basis of selected diaries and memoirs written by pupils and teachers.

This contribution presents two feature articles from “Nowa Reforma” which are unknown in the literature of the subject and which contain references to Norwid and quotes from conversations with him. Both texts are most likely authored by Mieczysław Pawlikowski. The author drew attention to the convergence of certain ideas proposed by the author(s) with the views of Norwid himself. The article ends with a postulate to examine the ideological and aesthetic relationships of the group centred around Krakow-based periodicals “Kraj” and “Nowa Reforma” with Norwid’s thought.

The article concerns an album of Zdeněk Brtnický of Waldstein (1581‒1623), a non-Catholic aristocrat, who became a director and chamberlain to Frederick V during the estates uprising. The album, which contains 175 entries from 1591‒1600, represents a valuable source of information on Waldstein’s process of education and his social contacts, suitably supplemented with a diary where he recorded people whom he was meeting. The essay describes the external form of the album, the languages in which the records are written and the content of the records. It monitors distribution of the entries in time, informs about the process of Waldstein’s education and itinerary of his grand tour as well as personalities of the individual scriptors.

In 1954 a young country woman from New South Wales, Shirley Dunk, ex- ercised her agency and travelled to London. This was a journey to the home of her fore- fathers and copied the activities of other country women who made similar journeys. Some of the earliest of these journeys were undertaken by the wives and daughters of the 19th-century rural gentry. This research project will use a qualitative approach in an examination of Shirley’s journey archive complemented with supplementary interviews and stories of other travellers. Shirley nostalgically recalled the sense of adventure that she experienced as she left Sydney for London by ship and travelled through the United Kingdom and Europe. The article will address questions posed by the journey for Shirley and her travelling companion, Beth, and how they dealt with these forces as tourists and travellers. Shirley’s letters home were reported in the country press and reminiscent of soldier’s wartime letters home that described their tales as tourists in foreign lands. The narrative will show that Shirley, as an Australian country girl, was exposed to the cosmo- politan nature of the metropole, as were other women. The paper will explore how Shirley was subject to the forces of modernity and consumerism at a time when rural women were often limited to domesticity.

This article presents one of the most important Polish books in the diary format originated in the 19th century – Przechadzki po mieście (City Walks) authored by Marceli Motty, a well-known indefatigable eulogist of the nineteenth century Poznań, within the context of the image of the city and its inhabitants presented in the work. In his memoirs, the author aims at primarily investigating individual people’s lives, while the city of Poznań, its streets and squares, simply provides a background and a framework for successive “walks” in the adopted narration. The extraordinary virtues of the book, such as the fluency and richness of the language, sense of humour, narrative clearly energized by powerful anecdotal message, as well as an enormous amount of information on Poznań and its inhabitants (i.e. members of all of the nationalities present in the city), including primarily representatives of the local landed gentry, intelligentsia, and bourgeois class, make this work an outstanding source of its own kind of the venerated author’s personal record of events and impressions. This is a book to be savoured slowly for its richness and depth, rediscovered again and again with each rereading of the book, while its contents have been extensively and continuously explored by historians, city tour guides and all those interested in the history of the capital of Greater Poland in the nineteenth century.

Artykuł prezentuje jedno z najważniejszych polskich dzieł pamiętnikarskich powstałych w XIX wieku – Przechadzki po mieście autorstwa Marcelego Mottego, zwanego „piewcą XIX-wiecznego Poznania” – w kontekście przedstawionego w nim obrazu miasta i jego mieszkańców. Autor w swych wspomnieniach na pierwszym miejscu postawił opowieść o ludziach, natomiast miasto, jego ulice i place jako teren kolejnych przechadzek są niejako kanwą narracji. Niezwykłe walory dzieła, takie jak komunikatywność, bogactwo języka, poczucie humoru, anegdota w przekazie, wraz z ogromem informacji na temat miasta i jego obywateli (wszystkich funkcjonujących w nim narodowości), w tym zwłaszcza warstw ziemiaństwa, inteligencji, mieszczaństwa sprawiają, że dzieło stanowi wyjątkowe źródło pamiętnikarskie, z którego głębi, ujawniającej się w każdorazowej lekturze, czerpią historycy, przewodnicy miejscy oraz wszyscy zainteresowani dziejami stolicy Wielkopolski XIX stulecia.

In the 17th century, both the Turks and (much more often) the Tatars invaded Poland. According to historians, the Tatars in particular treated the Polish Republic as an area of economic exploitation. Its most severe form was the forced captivity of inhabitants of the south-eastern borderlands. This was documented by diarists and memorialists of Polish seicento, including Jan Florian Drobysz Tuszyński, Mikołaj Jemiołowski, Joachim Jerlicz, Samuel Maskiewicz, Zbigniew Ossoliński, and Kazimierz Sarnecki. They drew attention to the mass character of the Tatar-Turkish thraldom: not only soldiers but also many civilians were kidnapped by the Tatars, who benefited from human trafficking and thus made them captives. The authors of the diaries documented the circumstances of the attacks, including the time and routes taken by the looters. They drew attention to the state of the captives and reconstructed the human martyrdom.

This text is a review of selected ways of defining autobiography and biography, showing the specificity of each genre of personal writing, as well as indicating points of contact and exposing mutual dependencies. The (auto)biographical theories of e.g. Małgorzata Czermińska, Phillipe Lejeune, George Mish combined with theoretical approaches to biography by Jerzy Jarniewicz, Lucyna Marzec, Michał Paweł Markowski, complemented by a gender component, not omitting also the specificity of letters as a genre more strongly related to autobiography than biography, served to indicate the reasons for the permanent attractiveness of personal document literature. Moreover, by taking into account narrative theories of identity, an attempt was made to reconstruct possible constructions of the (autobiographical) subject. The whole article (in an extended version) was delivered as an inaugural lecture during the opening of the Biography and Autobiography Research Workshop at the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University.

Niniejszy tekst jest przeglądem sposobów definiowania autobiografii i biografii oraz ukazywania specyfiki każdego z gatunków pisarstwa osobistego. Owe przypomnienia służą wskazaniu punktów stycznych, a także eksponowaniu wzajemnych zależności pomiędzy pokrewnymi tekstami. Teorie (auto)biograficzne, np. Małgorzaty Czermińskiej, Phillipe’a Lejeune’a, Georga Mischa, połączone z teoretycznymi ujęciami biografii Jerzego Jarniewicza, Lucyny Marzec, Michała Pawła Markowskiego, uzupełnione o komponent genderowy, niepomijające również specyfiki listów jako gatunku mocniej związanego z autobiograficznością niż biograficznością, posłużyły do wskazania powodów stałej atrakcyjności literatury dokumentu osobistego. Ponadto, dzięki uwzględnieniu narracyjnych teorii tożsamości, spróbowano scharakteryzować możliwe konstrukcje podmiotu (auto)biograficznego. Tekst jest fragmentem wykładu inauguracyjnego wygłoszonego podczas otwarcia Pracowni Badań Biografii i Autobiografii na Wydziale Polonistyki Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego.

Travels abroad constituted one of the most elitist pastimes of landed gentry in the 19th century. The fashion from the beginning of the 19th century among landowning elites required visiting heath resorts. Staying at such places entailed not only the treatments recommended by doctors but also was of social-entertainment nature. The Skrzyński family, possessing estates in the vicinity of Krosno, Dubiecko and Lviv in 1850s visited mainly Carlsbad, Ostend and Oeynhausen in Westfall, where they wanted to bathe in curative waters. In order to improve her daughter Maria’s health, Emilia Skrzyńska in winter 1877 spent three months in the south of Italy. Moreover, the women went on a pilgrimage to Lourdes in France, in the hope that the miraculous intervention of the Holy Virgin could improve Maria’s health.

Wyjazdy zagraniczne należały do najbardziej elitarnych rozrywek ziemiaństwa w XIX w. Moda, jaka na początku XIX w. zapanowała wśród elit ziemiańskich, nakazywała bywanie w uzdrowiskach. Pobyt w nich wiązał się nie tylko z zalecanymi przez lekarzy kuracjami, ale miał także charakter towarzysko-rozrywkowy. Rodzina Skrzyńskich, posiadająca majątki ziemskie w okolicach Krosna, Dubiecka i Lwowa, w latach 50. XIX w. wyjeżdżała głównie do Karlsbadu, Ostendy i Oeynhausen w Westfalii. Celem podróży było korzystanie z tamtejszych wód leczniczych. Dla poratowania zdrowia córki Marii Emilia Skrzyńska w zimie 1877 r. spędziła trzy miesiące na południu Włoch. Ponadto panie Skrzyńskie odbyły pielgrzymkę do Lourdes we Francji, wiążąc polepszenie stanu zdrowia Marii z cudowną interwencją Matki Bożej.

This article looks at Scouting from the perspective of J. Burghauser (1921–1997), the well-known musicologist and composer, using his personal diaries from the 1940–1945 period, written in Ancient Greek and as yet unstudied. As such, the article presents these unique recollections to the general public for the first time. The focus of attention is given over to the running of the 2nd Prague Scout Troop, which even after the banning of the Scouts in autumn 1940, continued as an undercover scout troop in various structures up until May 1945. During this time, Burghauser helped troop head Jaroslav Foglar as his deputy. The article concludes with a discussion of the possible motives for Burghauser to use Ancient Greek in his diary entries, coming to a position that rather than an attempt at masking the undercover scouting activities, the diary author was instead attempting to improve his personal language skills in a language whose culture, in particular Ancient Greece, he had considerable respect for.

The text presents examples of ego-documents (or personal documents) of peasants, here understood narrowly as letters and diaries, as sources for research into the history of the Polish Kingdom in the second half of the nineteenth century. A brief introduction to ego-documents as source material used in historical work is followed by a discussion of successive collections of letters (sent to periodicals, correspondence of emigrants and exiles) and diaries (including competition ones). Finally, the text presents a general overview of the peasants’ ego-documents as a collection of source material with suggestions for the future direction of research.

Tekst prezentuje przykłady egodokumentów (czy też dokumentów osobistych) chłopów, tu rozumianych wąsko jako listy i pamiętniki, tj. źródła do badań dziejów Królestwa Polskiego w drugiej połowie XIX w. Na początku przedstawiono zwięzłe wprowadzenie do tematyki egodokumentów jako materiałów wykorzystywanych w pracach historycznych. Następnie omówiono kolejne zbiory listów (do czasopism, emigracyjnych, zesłańców) oraz pamiętników (w tym konkursowych). Na koniec zaś tekst przedstawia ogólne ujęcie egodokumentów chłopów jako zbioru źródeł wraz z sugestiami do dalszych prac badawczych.

Celem artykułu jest analiza narracji pamiętnikarskich zawartych w tomie Cała siła, jaką czerpię na życie. Świadectwa, relacje, pamiętniki osób LGBTQ+ z wykorzystaniem metodologii religioznawczej Mircei Eliadego. Poprzez wydobycie z tekstów powtarzających się motywów i zestawienie ich z elementami scenariusza inicjacyjnego ukazane zostało, że akt coming outu może być traktowany jako współczesna wersja rytuału przejścia. Postępowanie analityczne osadzone jest w refleksji dotyczącej możliwości uprawiania refleksji metafizycznej we współczesności. Przez odwołanie do koncepcji Emmanuela Levinasa, Paula Ricoeura oraz Hansa-Georga Gadamera zaprezentowano sposób na filozoficzne ujęcie nowoczesnej duchowości jako kondycji pozwalającej na poszukiwanie Innego oraz wymiaru sacrum poprzez akt rozmowy hermeneutycznej odbywającej się w czasie lektury tekstu. W takim postępowaniu proces kształtowania się tożsamości rozumiany jest jako szansa otwarcia się na inność, duchowość i metafizykę.

The aim of this article is to analyse the diary narratives from the volume Cała siła, jaka czerpię na życie (All the Strength I Draw for My Life: Testimonies, Accounts, Diaries of LGBTQ + People), using Mircea Eliade’s religious studies methodology. By extracting recurring motifs from the texts and juxtaposing them with elements of the initiation scenario, the article shows that the act of coming out can be treated as a modern version of the rite of passage. This analysis is presented along with ideas on the possibility of practising metaphysical reflection in modernity. By referring to the concepts of Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, and Hans-Georg Gadamer, the article demonstrates how modern spirituality can be approached as a condition that allows people to search for the Other and the sacred through the hermeneutic conversation that occurs while reading a text. In this way, the process of shaping identity is understood as an opportunity to open oneself to otherness, spirituality, and metaphysics.

The article focuses on the changing norms of morality around sexuality in the first two decades of the People’s Republic of Poland. The diary narrative analysed reveals tensions connected to the rural-urban migration process, embracing a significant portion of the Polish population. In the course of this process it became necessary to re-negotiate one’s habitus instilled during the primary socialisation process; this laid bare the tensions between countryside and city, both economic and cultural, especially in regards to sex and marriage. Another axis of analysis in the article is gender; the analysed narrative is that of a woman, which enables the identification of the cultural constructs of rural and urban femininities, and the differences between them. The article opens with explorations of cultural images of rural sexuality, and then goes on to analyse the diary narrative comprising the source material.
PL
Artykuł poświęcony jest przemianom norm moralnych wokół seksualności w początkowych dwóch dekadach Polskiej Rzeczpospolitej Ludowej. Analizowana narracja pamiętnikarska ukazuje napięcia związane z migracją ze wsi do miasta, która była udziałem znaczącej części polskiej populacji. W procesie migracji konieczna stawała się renegocjacja habitusu wpojonego w trakcie socjalizacji pierwotnej; tym samym obnażał on napięcia pomiędzy wsią a miastem, zarówno na tle ekonomicznym, jak i kulturowym, zwłaszcza w wymiarach moralności wokół seksu i małżeństwa. Dodatkową osią analizy w artykule jest płeć kulturowa - analizowana narracja jest narracją kobiecą, co pozwala zidentyfikować różnice w modelu kobiecości wiejskiej i miejskiej. Artykuł otwierają rozważania na temat kulturowych obrazów wsi w kontekście seksualności; następnie zanalizowano narrację pamiętnikarską będącą materiałem źródłowym.
