This article in its empirical part is devoted to the interpretation of the content of blogs about ultramarathons, i.e. runs at a longer distance than a standard marathon (42,195 km). This subdiscipline of long-distance running is now rapidly growing and constantly attracting new participants, which is accompanied by fast development of the blogosphere dedicated to this subject. However, online diaries of runners have not yet been analysed too comprehensively by social researchers. Therefore, this work will be an attempt to fill in this empirical gap, and the content of the examined blogs will be used to understand the practice of participation in ultramarathons. The theoretical basis of this work is Ruth Benedict’s considerations and her concepts of apollonian and dionysian as aspects of culture. These notions were borrowed from F. Nietzsche and used in the description of North American Indian culture. The main research goal set by the author is an attempt to analyse the forms of manifestations of the apollonian and dionysian elements in written stories from ultramarathons. For analysing the textual content of blogs the author will use the personal documents method. The summary contains the conclusions from the whole inquiry and the suggestions for further sociological research.

Artykuł ten poświęcony jest interpretacji tekstów z blogów o ultramaratonach, czyli biegach na dystansie dłuższym niż standardowy maraton (42,195 km). Ta subdyscyplina biegania długodystansowego obecnie prężnie się rozwija i stale przyciąga nowych uczestników, czemu towa­rzyszy między innymi szybko postępujący rozwój blogosfery poświęconej tej tematyce. Internetowe dzienniki biegaczy nie były jednak do tej pory analizowane zbyt obszernie przez badaczy społecznych. Dlatego w tym tekście autor podjął próbę wypełnienia tej luki empirycznej, zaś treść badanych blogów ma posłużyć do zrozumienia głębszego sensu praktyki, jaką jest uczestnictwo w ultramara­tonach. Podstawą teoretyczną tej pracy są rozważania Ruth Benedict i stosowane przez nią pojęcia apollińskości oraz dionizyjskości. Pojęcia te wspomniana autorka zapożyczyła od F. Nietzschego i stosowała w opisie kultury Indian Ameryki Północnej. Głównym celem badawczym, który postawił sobie autor prezentowanego tekstu, jest próba analizy form przejawiania się apollińskości i dio­nizyjskości w pisemnych relacjach z ultramaratonów. Do analizy zebranych materiałów posłużyła metoda analizy dokumentów osobistych, a interpretacji poddane zostały treści tekstowe zamiesz­czone na blogach. W podsumowaniu znajdują się wnioski płynące z całości rozważań oraz sugestie co do dalszych badań socjologicznych.

The article offers an analysis and interpretation of the poem Zaklęte miasto [Enchanted city] from the volume Ballady i pieśni [Ballads and songs] by the Young Poland poet Edward Leszczyński. The poem is first analysed based on the oneiric convention. For this purpose the author refers to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and explains the symbolism of the wheel, which indicates the sense of entrapment in the world, a situation with no way out. The dreaming-wandering from Leszczyński’s poem, the gaining and losing of faith, is then examined in the context of August Strindberg’s A Dream Play. The two works, ostensibly so different, address with a similar kind of poetic “dreaming.” In both cases, the life in question is inauthentic, asleep, affected by a curse, kept under a spell. The last stanza of the poem indicates the Dionysian tradition, and therefore makes it necessary to refer to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and his idea of eternal return. The examination lead to the conclusion that Leszczyński’s work refers to the dual meaning of circularity, or rather two attitudes towards life. In the first case Schopenhauerian determinism is revealed, according to which life is a monotonous, enchaining, ominous dream. In the second case we are dealing with the worship life of Nietzschean provenance – one may, therefore, conclude that a curse can be a blessing and being asleep can be being awake, if we accept the eternal return.
