The rebuilding of Poniatowski Bridge in the years 1945–46 was a symbolically meaningful act for both the national propaganda of the times and the postwar Warsaw. The city was in ruins and so its potential as the country’s future capital was questioned by many. The reconstruction process became legendary owing to its main figure Józef Sigalin – one of the chief managers of the Bureau for Rebuilding the Capital (Polish: BOS) and later, during Stalin years, its main architect. His story is related in the collection Nad Wisłą wstaje warszawski dzień... (ed. 1963). Narrated within the framework of initiation myth, the story reveals its characteristic elements: the unfolding of the enterprise, the idealistic portrait of BOS and the enthusiastic ideal of People’s Poland. All these elements formulate the carefully constructed founding myth, whose demystification is the purpose of this article.

National commemorations are historical events, too. While re-imagining the past to correspond with contemporary sentiments, they are themselves open to reinterpretation by future observers. The 50th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising was intended to be a liminal event, paying tribute to the veterans of the revolutionary generation while recalibrating the national narrative to be more conciliatory and less militaristic. Yet, the anniversary later became neglected as one of the sparks of the conflict in Northern Ireland and subsequently served as the grand negative example of what needs to be avoided during the preparations for the Easter Rising centenary in 2016. The organisers of this centenary eventually introduced a highly diverse programme that held inclusivity at its centre. Nonetheless, with Brexit or Covid-19 in mind, one might wonder what the afterlife of the centennial mosaic of narratives will look like. Will the popular success of the event last, or will it be overshadowed or even neglected in the future?

The ancient myth about Hercules’ expedition to the island of Erythea, his combat with Geryon and setting the Pillars was adopted by the authors of Iberian chronicles from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. The paper responds to the question of how the myth was being changed by the authors and what their political or genealogical aim related with the historical period was. The analysis of ancient sources and the comparison with chosen Iberian chronicles proves that the character of Hercules was intentionally adapted for creating old dynastic genealogies, a model of good king or founding myths of Spanish cities (as Cádiz and A Coruña). For similar reasons, Spanish colonial expansion changed also the idea of the Pillars of Hercules which were not perceived as the boundary of the Mediterranean anymore but became a gate to the New World.

Tygodniowe konwersatorium w Centrum Studiów Dehoniańskich stało się okazją do zarysowania możliwości nowego projektu badawczego wewnątrz studiów dehoniańskich. Na kanwie rozważań o tradycjach sercańskich i dziedzictwie charyzmatycznym jawią się postaci, które odpowiadały na takie dziedzictwo bezpośrednio, przekuwając w życie charyzmat założycielski. Artykuł stara się określić status takiej tradycji w odniesieniu do postaci Założyciela i jego pierwszych towarzyszy. Zważywszy na historię początków Zgromadzenia, pełną punktów zwrotnych, lista tzw. pierwszych ojców została obdarzona szeregiem zastrzeżeń i podzielona na kilka poziomów, by uczynić zadość idei pierwszego ojca: zakonnika, który za życia Założyciela wytrwał w Zgromadzeniu do śmierci i wniósł znaczący wkład w konsolidację charyzmatu Zgromadzenia. Daje to okazję, by zastanowić się nad historią instytutu, jak i nad współczesną koncepcją biografii, która w krytycznym podejściu próbuje godzić inne metodologie (komemoratywną, hagiograficzną czy pozytywistyczną), które nawiązując do istotnych potrzeb badawczych, redukują przekaz historiograficzny. W końcowej części artykułu zostają zebrane elementy, które pozwoliłyby skonstruować projekt badawczy, określając jednocześnie jego możliwe cele.

A week-long workshop at the Dehonian Studies' Centre provided an opportunity to outline the possibility of a new research project within Dehonian Studies. Against the backdrop of reflections on Dehonian traditions and charismatic legacies, figures emerge who responded to such legacies directly by putting the founding charism into practice. This article seeks to define the status of such a tradition towards the figure of the Founder and his first companions. Given the history of the origins of the Congregation, full of turning points, the list of the so-called first fathers has been endowed with some caveats and divided into several levels to satisfy the idea of the first father: a religious who, during the Founder's lifetime, persevered in the Congregation until his death and made a significant contribution to the consolidation of the Congregation's charism. This provides an opportunity to reflect on the history of the institute, as well as on the contemporary concept of biography, which, in a critical approach, attempts to reconcile other methodologies (commemorative, hagiographic, or positivist) that, refer to the essential needs of research, reduce the historiographical narrative. The final section of the article brings together the elements that would allow the construction of a research project while defining its possible objectives.
