The dispute between the supporters of hunting and its opponents in the fall 2019 and winter of 2020 concerned the management of public goods. Its development took the shape of a kind of war maneuvers which, along with the tightening of the screw, as subsequent bans followed, could turn into a replica of a civil war. This, however, was hindered by the pandemic. Thus, the anti‑hunting movement, which was gaining more and more popularity among regular citizens for whom strolls in the forest become the first exposure to public activism, practically ceased to exist. Was the movement a foreign implant, as its adversaries implied? This essay assumes that the anti‑hunting movement was both an altruistic and educational project, based on solidarity and empathy, as well as the willingness to sacrifice one’s comfort for the benefit of others, in this case – forest animals which are shot at metonymically, instead of the citizens practicing public disobedience against whom it is still inappropriate to lead an open war.

Spór pomiędzy zwolennikami myślistwa oraz jego przeciwnikami z jesieni 2019 i zimy 2020 roku dotyczył zarządzania dobrami publicznymi. Jego rozwój przybrał kształt swego rodzaju manewrów wojennych, które wraz z kumulowaniem się kolejnych zakazów mogły przekształcić się w replikę wojny domowej. Przeszkodził temu rozwój pandemii. Tym samym ruch antyłowiecki, zdobywający sobie coraz większą popularność wśród ludzi, dla których leśne spacery stały się pierwszym w życiu doświadczeniem aktywizmu, praktycznie przestał istnieć. Czy był zatem obcym implantem, jak sugerowały głosy mu przeciwne? Autorka tego eseju zakłada, że ruch antymyśliwski był projektem zarówno altruistycznym, jak i edukacyjnym, który za podstawę postawił sobie solidarność i empatię oraz gotowość do poświęceń na rzecz innych, w tym wypadku – leśnych zwierząt, do których strzela się metonimicznie, w zastępstwie obywateli praktykujących nieposłuszeństwo obywatelskie, z którymi wciąż nie wypada prowadzić otwartej wojny.

Mowa na Śmierć Uniwersytetu

Speech deliverd during the demonstration "Death of the University" (June 10, 2015)
EN
The article examines the university as a source of trauma through an analysis of two narratives of resistance: Exhales from Unfishployment by Piotr Sobolczyk and Enter stage left. Her-story of Becoming Mother-academic at a Polish University by Beata Karpińska-Musiał. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s depiction of academia as a system of reproduction, the study highlights the punitive mechanisms faced by those who deviate from the neoliberal ideal of homo academicus, characterized by total dedication to institutional demands. Both authors, despite their commitment to academic life, recount public humiliation and professional ostracism for daring to maintain private lives outside the academy, as well as for demonstrating the type of broad education that includes, in addition to integrity and generosity of spirit, mastering multiple languages, engaging with international academic contexts, and maintaining high levels of professional mobility. The article underscores how structural constraints, fueled by neoliberal and ritualistic institutional practices, target individuals based on identity factors such as parenthood, queerness, or disabilities. Creative resistance emerges as a shared theme, manifesting in Sobolczyk’s poetry and Karpińska-Musiał’s autoethnographic prose. These works expose the oppressive ethos of academic labor and advocate for alternative narratives of freedom and resistance, including the queer art of failure, that challenge systemic unfairness. By engaging theorists like Bourdieu, Foucault, MacIntyre, Nussbaum, and Sontag, the article calls for a reimagining of academia as a humane and equitable space. It critiques the inefficiency of traumatizing talented academics, proposing instead a system where work-life balance and professional dignity prevail.

"Notatki do gwałtu"

Notes on Rape is a tripartite presentation of a literary document from 1985. The main section of the presentation consists of fragments from one of Izabela Morska’s notebooks with notes from an MA thesis. This particular selection from a notebook numbers 49 pages. Morska is one of Poland’s leading feminist and queer writers. Her dissertation’s topic was Death as Rape in the Poetry of Stanisław Grochowiak and she defended it in 1986. These notes blend Morska’s own thoughts on the philosophy of rape which derives from de Sade’s ideas filtered as noteworthy by Rene Girard, her major inspiration at that time, with quotations from the articles she read, and with her own poems. Her handwriting was rewritten by Piotr Sobolczyk who also wrote an introductory editor’s comment and the third section of the presentation, i.e. a few remarks on Morska’s philosophy of rape. In this section Sobolczyk positions Morska’s original attempt among historical debates on feminism (second-wave feminism and its sex wars) and among current debates on the “culture of rape” and trauma. It is worth noting that none of these contexts were known back then by Morska and that makes her approach even more original. Morska defines rape quite broadly and metaphisically, as nature’s drive, force of movement. In the context of current debates such widening of the meaning might be perceived as disregardful of corporal suffering; however, Sobolczyk inscribes this problem into the frame of a larger discussion on the limits of metaphor, exemplified famously by Martha Nussbaum’s criticism of Judith Butler.
