Although they made their spectacular literary appearance with the arrival of Romanticism, vampires were arousing a vivid interest well before the 19th century. At first, the present paper will briefly review the vampire motif in French texts from the second half of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th c., such as the articles published in Mercure Galant in 1793 and 1794 or the travel narratives published by François Richard (1657), Paul Lucas (1704) and Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1717). Afterwards, Traité sur les apparitions des esprits et sur les vampires ou les revenants de Hongrie, de Moravie, etc. [Treatise on the Apparitions of Spirits and on Vampires or Revenants of Hungary, Moravia, et al.] (1751) by Dom Augustin Calmet (1672-1757) will be analyzed in order to examine the way in which the Benedictine tackles this controversial subject in his book. The article closes with some thoughts on the reception of the treatise after its publication and its importance for the creation and consolidation of the subsequent concept of the vampire.

Bien qu’ils fassent leur entrée spectaculaire au sein de la littérature avec l’épanouissement du romantisme, les vampires furent une source inépuisable d’intérêt bien avant le XIXe s. Au début de la présente étude nous passerons brièvement en revue le motif vampirique dans des textes français de la deuxième moitié du XVIIe et du début du XVIIIe s., tels que les articles publiés dans le Mercure Galant en 1793 et 1794 ou les récits de voyage de François Richard (1657), de Paul Lucas (1704) et de Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1717). Par la suite, nous nous pencherons sur le Traité sur les apparitions des esprits et sur les vampires ou les revenants de Hongrie, de Moravie, etc. (1751) de Dom Augustin Calmet (1672-1757) afin d’analyser la manière dont le bénédictin aborde ce thème controversé dans son ouvrage. Nous terminerons notre article par quelques réflexions sur la réception du Traité après sa parution et sur son importance pour la création et la consolidation du concept postérieur de vampire.

Face Down: The Phenomenon of Prone Burial in Early Medieval Poland

This paper examines the phenomenon of prone burial in early medieval Poland in the period between the 10th and 13th centuries. Among individuals treated this way were mainly adult men, but several examples of prone burials of females have also been discovered. Over the years prone burials from Poland have been interpreted by many archaeologists in the light of so-called ‘antivampire’ practices which were allegedly intended to protect the society against the living dead. By adopting an intercultural perspective, this article seeks to nuance these one-sided views and attempts to demonstrate that prone burials may have held a much wider range of meanings. It is argued that they may have been burials of criminals or various social deviants and that in some instances they could have perhaps signalled a religious and post-mortem act of penance

The article examines the representation of a vampire figure in contemporary culture, in particular within the framework of the gothic convention. In particular, the paper focuses on stories in which the vampire — as the classic Other — appears in social relationships. Therefore the article is an attempt to show how texts that can be classified as fantasy or Gothic fiction engage in a modern reality around us.

Potrzeba rekonceptualizacji wczesnośredniowiecznych pochówków „wampirów” z ziem polskich

The aim of the article is to outline the need to reconceptualized the early medieval burials of “vampires” from Poland. These burials are understood as the remains of the so-called “anti- vampire” practices resulting from the social perception of bad death. These, in turn, are recognized as a socio-religious phenomenon, the assumption of which was to postpone the evil actions of the ‘vampire’ by means of certain measures. Due to doubts about the term “vampire”, concerning both the linguistic sphere and the cultural and historical realities, it is suggested not to use it. The proposed alternative, more precise terms would therefore be the terms “returning dead” or “(un)dead”. Another issue raised is the setting of ‘anti-vampire’ burials in an atypical framework. “Anti-vampirical” burials meet the criteria of atypicality on a macro scale, however, it is possible to consider them typical, assuming that they functioned in the culture of Western Slavs in the early Middle Ages as belonging to a specific social group.

The text is an attempt to demonstrate how stories about vampires-ubiquitous in contemporary culture-fit into an accessible version of the issues raised within animal studies. Since the character of the vampire is one of those elements of the Gothic canon that has undergone a dizzying transformation ( there seems to be more differences than shared features between Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight heroes ), the article examines the reasons for such a radical change in our stories about fictitious creatures that we have placed above us in the food chain. Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive has been analysed in more detail in the article; however, other ( apart from the already mentioned ) “canonical” texts are mentioned, such as Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, and some less known ones, including Suzy McKee-Charnas’ The Vampire Tapestry or Truth by Terry Pratchett.
PL
Tekst stanowi próbę pokazania, jak wszechobecne w kulturze współczesnej opowieści o wampirach wpisują się w przystępną wersję zagadnień poruszanych w obrębie animal studies. Ponieważ postać wampira jest jednym z tych elementów gotyckiego kanonu, które przeszły oszałamiającą przemianę ( Draculę Brama Stokera i bohaterów cyklu Zmierzch Stephenie Meyer zdaje się więcej dzielić niż łączyć ), w artykule rozważane są przyczyny tak radykalnej zmiany naszych opowieści o istotach fantastycznych, które ulokowaliśmy w łańcuchu pokarmowym wyżej od nas. Obszerniejszej analizie w artykule poddany został film Jima Jarmuscha Tylko kochankowie przeżyją – przywołane zostają jednak i inne ( poza już wymienionymi ) „kanoniczne” teksty, np. Wywiad z wampirem Ann Rice, oraz te mniej znane, np. Gobelin z wampirem Suzy McKee-Charnas czy Prawda Terry’ego Pratchetta.

В статье представлен анализ указанного в заглавии романа Пищеблок Алексея Иванова. В тексте обращается внимание на использование Ивановым мотива вампиризма, который автор рассматривает как метафору власти и ее молодежь. Пионерское движение как опыт поколений представляет Иванов через призму ностальгии детских воспоминаний, но и агитационной деятельности пионерской организации. В статье подчеркнуты также черты творчества Иванова и коротко представлена его творческая деятельность.
EN
The main subject of this article is an analysis of the novel Пищеблок. The author of the article gives special attention to the theme of vampirism, used by Ivanov as a metaphor for the authoritarian Soviet system and its influence on citizens of the USRR, especially on scouts. Scouting can be described as a generational experience of the inhabitants of the Soviet Union. To present scouting in the USRR, the writer recreates the nostalgia of childhood, describing in the process the political and propagandistic aspects of scouting. The article also presents literary production of Ivanov.

From Socialist Realism to Mash-up Fiction: The Evolution of Arkadii Gaidar’s Timur and His Team

When Arkadii Gaidar’s novella Timur and His Team was published in 1940, it gained instant critical acclaim, readers’ recognition, and was included in school reading lists for future generations. While the story cleverly combines an entertaining narrative of children’s adventures with political ideology, its main focus is on the character of Timur who embodies an ideal Soviet child and a talented young leader. In post-Soviet children’s culture Gaidar’s story undergoes numerous textual and cinematic transformations that reinforce some general cultural assumptions about Soviet Russia while simultaneously revising and transforming them. The article traces the evolution of Gaidar’s story over time and analyzes its cultural significance. Ultimately, the new versions of Timur and His Team reveal a need for addressing the past either as a traumatic experience or a nostalgic tribute to happy Soviet childhood where children were raised in the spirit of collectivism, national pride, and moral principles.

The Insidious Poison of Degeneration: Vampires in Czech Decadence

The article examines vampires in Czech Decadent literature as polyvalent symbols that stand simultaneously for culture as a vampiric force and for decadence as a poisonous and infectious phenomenon. Vampires can also be associated with homosexuality, particularly in the work of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic. In addition, they represent the power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which had been draining the blood of Bohemia for centuries, leaving Prague a “dead city”, as well as the Czechs’ resistance to their subaltern status through a poisonous entropy that destroys not only the oppressors but also Czechs themselves. As such, Czech vampires have their counterpart in barbarians, who threaten to destroy the empire from without.

Článek probírá upíry v literatuře české dekadence jakožto mnohoznačné symboly, současně reprezentující kulturu jakožto upírskou mocnost a dekadenci jakožto fenomén nákazy a jedu. Upíři mohou být též asociováni s homosexualitou, zvláště v díle Jiřího Karáska ze Lvovic. Představují také moc rakousko- uherské říše, která po staletí sála českou krev a učinila z Prahy „mrtvé město“, ale i odpor Čechů vůči své podřízenosti realizovaný jedovatou entropií, která neničí jen původce útisku, ale i samotné Čechy. V tomto smyslu jsou protějškem českých upírů barbaři, kteří říši ohrožují zvenčí
