The early works of Ibsen – which concentrate on historical issues from the old Norwegian past, using material from sagas, folk-tales, and songs – give us a picture of an author who is focused on a national programme. In accordance with the Romantic philosophy of history (historism), Ibsen uses its main categories of causation and explanation of the national past, mainly positing individual ideas as a major shaping force of the course of history and the impact of great personalities. At the same time, Ibsen presents the path for Norwegians to build a strong and independent nation, and the conditions that have to be fulfilled for that to happen.

The author’s aim is to analyse the problem of criticism in the context of political sciences, in particular in the context of political philosophy. The issue is considered in the light of two basic epistemological standpoints: contextualism and presentism. These two approaches are often regarded as mutually exclusive; however, the author presents arguments for their possible complementarity and demonstrates that their concurrence is the necessary point of departure for critical attitudes in political philosophy.

Hoping to revalue the literary profile of Michał Synoradzki, a writer familiar to, though underestimated both by his contemporaries and a new generation of readers, the author of the article focuses on the most representative collection of stories in his career, namely Gniazda szlacheckie (Nobility Nests from 1914). A multi-faceted analysis of the text concentrates on an interesting, but still lacking sufficiently exploited intellectual potential, problem of epigonism. Basing on Synoradzki’s literary work, the author of the article by rejecting the commonly accepted, yet inaccurate and definitely pejorative definition of epigonism, attempts to prove that epigonism does not necessarily involve lack of talent, graphomania, or kitsch aesthetics. An epigone may turn out to be a skilful and clever writer; therefore, one should not judge his work as flat indolent or lacking any technical skill. It happens that an epigone writer does not reproduce mechanically clichéd stereotypes, but, paradoxically, creates them autocratically (originally?), thus believing that this is the only way to pursue aesthetic postulates of the epoch. The author claims that it is the case of Synoradzki, who, in his correspondence, journalistic writings and reviews classified himself as the follower of Jozef I. Kraszewski’s documentary prose, and who, praised by his mentor and urged to continue practicing his literary skills, pursued eagerly his credo. Synoradzki’s case contributes to the proof of the thesis that epigones may arouse readers’ curiosity as they intensify the aesthetic evolution and revolution. Imitating a fixed scheme conceived in specific conditions, they involuntarily discredit it and show, as it were, its distorted image thus provoking and stimulating the necessity of innovative, original (individual and creative) solutions. Studying literature diachronically, we tend to focus mainly on great and outstanding works. Hence, we have the impression that the process of literary history is built upon „from masterpiece to masterpiece” principle although it is not quite so. Epigones intensify the necessity of gradual changes, their role in literary development is important, if not crucial. Their literary „training cycles” rooted in conventionalised stylistics push the literature towards new, creatively untapped areas which, in fact, are fully explored by their contemporaries and successors. Nevertheless, epigones become „late winners”, as it is indicated by etymology of the key word itself.

The article focuses on a series of dances performed in Fuyuge (Papua New Guinea) ritual, one of which provokes debate about its ancestral appropriateness. I use these examples to examine the distinctiveness of Fuyuge aesthetics and historical understanding as compared with Western aesthetics and historical understanding. Whereas the latter is geographically wide and relativistic the former imagines all aesthetics and historical forms as deriving from the Fuyuge world.

Historyzm estetyczny i estetyka Tidibe: rytuał, performance i kontrolowane postrzeganie „skóry” w papuaskich górach Artykuł skupia się na serii tańców wykonywanych w rytuale Fuyuge (Papua Nowa Gwinea), z których jeden prowokuje dyskusję na temat jego rodowej stosowności. Korzystam z tych przykładów, aby zbadać odrębność estetyki Fuyuge i rozumienia historii w porównaniu z estetyką zachodnią i zachodnim rozumieniem historycznym. Podczas gdy te drugie są geograficznie obszerne i relatywistyczne, te pierwsze wyobrażają sobie całą estetykę i formy historyczne jako wywodzące się ze świata Fuyuge.
