On the example of Mann’s Der Erwählte (1951) and its Polish version Wybraniec (1960) by Anna Linke, the article demonstrates how the creator’s imagination (the creators are the author and the translator) is related to translation and cultural memory, the basic notions of recent German culture studies. Mann’s novel can be described as a parodistic translation of a medieval epic, a text belonging to German cultural memory, into 20th century discourse and language. The article shows Mann’s translation strategies, whose aim is actualisation of the stocks of cultural memory of German readers: an experimental style imitating Medieval language, specific structure of narration time, represented world, and the narrator’s character, the montage and ecphrasis, which are all techniques calling for creative imagination. The article then demonstrates how Mann’s techniques were rendered in the translation. The analysis shows that Linke’s text, by referring to cultural memory of Polish readers, activates the content which is absent in cultural memory of German readers: this is because the translation employs fabulous and archaic elements derived from Polish historical novel, instead of stylistic and genre-specific techniques of German medieval epics. References to the visual archive of common European cultural memory (medieval iconography and architecture) clearly facilitate the translation, and the translator’s own imagination allows for credible rendition of names of medieval realities. The most important task was the rendition of the medieval dialect, which was fully Mann’s imaginary creation.

Many scholars believe that literary and artistic level of Book V of Vergil`s Aeneid is much lower than in the neighbouring books four and six. Nonetheless a detailed analysis of the contents and composition allows, in my opinion, to treat Book V as interesting and valuable. Vergil concentrated primarily on the sense of suffering which often befalls innocent people. The most vivid is the example of Palinurus whose undeserved and sacrificial death permits Aeneas to continue with his mission. The death of Palinurus and Dido is, I think, a symbolic farewell of Aeneas with the Trojan past and the wandering on the sea. The participants in the games are all secondary characters. By introducing them Vergil, I believe, wished to stress the importance of every man of Aeneas` crew in the fulfilling of the task set by destiny. The importance of fatum and fortuna increases exponentially in the instances where human strength and abilities fail.

The scholarly output of Wiesław Juszczak (1932–2021) is very diverse with regard to both the range of topics and the conceptual approaches to particular issues; yet it is possible to discern in it certain permanent themes, a desire to revisit fundamental problems, such as the role of the imagination in historical cognition and artistic creativity, the origins of art and of its cognitive pursuits, or the significance of the relationship between the word and the image (in ecphrasis, in art criticism). Those issues he approached sometimes in articles of a methodological nature, sometimes in incomparable interpretations of particular artworks and artists, and sometimes – with time, increasingly frequently – in essayistic texts that had the quality of philosophical deliberations. Wiesław Juszczak’s scholarly achievements allow us to see him as a historian and at the same time a philosopher of art, endowed with an originality of thought and a masterful form of its expression, an exceptional authority on the art of European Romanticism and Symbolism, a tireless hunter for the beginnings of artistic creation in the culture of archaic Greece, and a humanist worthy of this name in the highest degree.

W naukowej twórczości Wiesława Juszczaka, bardzo zróżnicowanej pod względem tematycznym, ale także konceptualnego ujęcia konkretnych problemów, można jednak dostrzec stałe wątki, powracanie do fundamentalnych problemów: roli wyobraźni w poznaniu historycznym i tworzeniu artystycznym, genezy sztuki i jej poznawczych dążeń, znaczenia relacji pomiędzy słowem a obrazem (w ekfrazie, w krytyce artystycznej). Problemy te Juszczak podejmował czy to artykułach o metodologicznym charakterze, czy to w niezrównanych interpretacjach poszczególnych dzieł i artystów, czy to – z czasem coraz częściej – w tekstach – esejach o charakterze filozoficznych rozważań. Dokonania naukowe Profesora pozwalają zobaczyć w nim historyka sztuki i filozofa sztuki, cechującego się oryginalnością myśli i mistrzowską formą jej wyrazu, świetnego znawcy sztuki romantyzmu i symbolizmu europejskiego, niestrudzonego poszukiwacza początków tworzenia w kulturze archaicznej Grecji, humanisty godnego tego miana w najwyższym znaczeniu.

The article contains a short review of semantics of inexpressible representation in modern research, the philosophical and methodological bases of studying inexpressible are designated. In the article the grammatical core of semantics of inexpressible is defined as a category of denial (negation). Semantics of inexpressible is compared with other adjacent concepts (apophatism, phenomenon of inexpressible in an ecphrasis, poetics and methodology of romanticism). The main directions of studying inexpressible in literary criticism are defined and characterized. The linguistic paradigms in which the semantics of inexpressible is studied are mentioned: linguopoetic, cognitological, ethnolinguistic, structural-semantic in Russian linguistics (V. V. Babaytseva school). Asymmetry in hierarchy of functional and semantic category of inexpressible and active transmission media of the called semantics are shown in fiction.

Статья содержит краткий обзор представленности семантики невыразимого в современных гуманитарных исследованиях. В ней обозначены философско-методологические основания изучения невыразимого, а также определен грамматический стержень семантики невыразимого – это категория отрицания (негации). Семантика невыразимого сопоставлена с другими активно востребованными в современных гуманитарных изысканиях смежными понятиями (апофатизмом, феноменом невыразимого в экфрасисе, поэтикой и методологией романтизма). Определены и охарактеризованы основные направления изучения невыразимого в литературоведении. Исчерпывающим образом названы исследовательские парадигмы лингвистики, в которых статьями или попутными рассуждениями и замечаниями изучается семантика невыразимого: лингвопоэтика, когнитология, этнолингвистика, структурно-семантическое направление в российской лингвистике (научной школы В. В. Бабайцевой), смежные, междисциплинарные исследования. Показана асимметрия в иерархии функционально-семантической категории невыразимого и активных средств передачи названной семантики в художественном тексте.
