Born and raised in Newfoundland and Labrador, Michael Crummey uses his inside knowledge to describe the region’s peculiarities in vivid detail. All four of his novels are set in Newfoundland and weave a story of its inhabitants throughout different moments in the island’s history. Though Crummey’s prose is broadly characterized as historical fiction, his novels differ from their traditional counterparts. This article aims to invite a reading of Crummey’s works through the prism of rescue history, a concept recently introduced by a Polish scholar, Ewa Domańska. Rescue history, drawing on frontier and post-colonial studies among others, is preoccupied with local, potential, existential and affirmative history whose goal is to rescue the future. Although the concept of rescue history encompasses a variety of disciplines and activities, this article will focus on the literary realization of the notion of rescue history in Crummey’s debut novel River Thieves, published in 2002. Based on historical accounts of Captain David Buchan’s expedition to Red Indian Lake, whose aim was to encourage trade and put an end to hostilities between English settlers and Beothuks, the novel encourages a compassionate revisiting of the chronicled events. Weaving an intricate web of human relations and dependencies, Crummey manages to restore agency to those who are situated on the periphery either due to gender, status or origin, thus reminding the reader that we are all capable of changing the course of history.

Textualisation of places recovers memory of the territories which seem marginalized, excluded, places which belong to “the historically mute”. The article exemplifies the concepts of rescue history in cultural texts which originated in the region of Podlasie. One of them is Dana Łukasińska’s drama Antyhona, the story of a borderland Polish-Belarusian village in the years 1942–1947. Next is a performance Metoda Ustawień Narodowych directed by Michał Stankiewicz, narrating the 1946 pacification act against civil Orthodox Belarusian population. And finally, there is the example of Wierszalin, a geo-historical event, which is textualized in Włodzimierz Pawluczuk’s literary reportage Wierszalin. Reportaż o końcu świata, and in the Wierszalin Theatre performances directed by Piotr Tomaszuk. These works substantiate the thesis of the rescue function of regional literature.

The book published by the Museum of Art in Lodz Continue Listening, Please is the result of a number of interviews with current and former staff, and also with artists affiliated to the Museum, conducted in the course of the ‘Tell the Museum’ Project implemented in 2018–2022. Their authors methodically applied oral history to investigate the Museum’s history, following which they commissioned a non-Museum affiliate to prepare texts on the grounds of the conversations. The selection of interviewees, encompassing curators, conservators, individuals responsible for education, or administrative staff allowed to describe the aspects of the operations of the Museum of Art, events, and individuals, previously only marginally present in the to-date publications on the Lodz institution. Not really being a monograph, the book signals motifs which could be tackled in the course of the preparation of the future history of the Museum of Art, going beyond the paradigm of the existing stories about the institution’s history, such as its functioning in the times of the political and economic crisis in the 1980s, the operations following the 1989 transformation, employee relations, or the organic, including the non-human dimension of a museum. It also poses questions about functioning of museums, their role and organization, currently and in the future.

Research on the economy of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth usually follows one of two paths: searching for the genesis of the crisis of the farm and serf economy or estimating the scale of war damage. Is it possible to join these two paths and present a complex model of the functioning of local communities during the crisis? Can it be used in the field of the rescue history?

The paper explores and develops the conception of rescue history proposed by Ewa Domańska, by translating the idea into the field of literary didactics. As a result, we are given a chance of overcoming negative, destructive and catastrophic messages from school set books. In the face of pandemic, war and climate change experiences, the concept of rescue reading leans towards positivity and rescue humanities which is aimed at equipping students with a language to think and talk about the possibility of a better future. The Polish subject at school is a field of didactic experiment in which a literary text becomes an object and a tool in the process of building affirmative discourse on the world and humans.
