Czy sława to wartościowy przedmiot badań historycznych, czy na zawsze pozostanie w domenie ekspertyzy specjalistów od marketingu? Historiografia sławy i celebrytyzmu, żywa w anglosaskim dyskursie akademickim, na próby odcięcia refleksji historycznej od problematyki sławy odpowiada stanowczym: nie! Poniższy tekst jest zbiorczą recenzją trzech prac dotykających wspomnianej problematyki, jakie ukazały się w ostatnim czasie. Recenzji towarzyszy również próba oceny, na ile dane prace reprezentują najsilniejsze prądy w dziedzinie. Is fame a valuable problem for historiography, or will it always remain in the domain of marketing experts? The English celebrity history, well-developed in the West, would react with a fervent refusal to any attempts at considering fame being thought ahistorical. This article is a review of three current works pertaining to the problem. Additionally, it attempts to determine whether a Polish historian can use its contents as fair examples of the current trends in celebrity history.

Jürgen Habermas’ theory of the public sphere has provoked a massive reaction in European historiography in the last thirty years. However, methodological debates driven by the new questions that it inspired in Germany, England, or France had no equivalent in Poland and more broadly in Eastern Europe. This essay suggests why this might have been the case and argues for the deeper engagement of Polish historians with the Habermasian theory. In the text, I reintro-duce the aims of the theory of the public sphere and look for the possible roots of its lacklustre reception among Polish historians in the idea about the Polish case’s supposed incompatibility with the course of modern history assumed by Habermas. I argue against this view, emphasising the flexibility and open‑endedness of the main Habermasian concepts, as well as underlining the necessity for a specifically Polish answer to Habermas’ theoretical enterprise. In the final part, I present the opportunities brought by adapting the theory to the Polish case, claiming that the original history of the Polish public sphere could be a prospective topic for both Polish historians and other historians of the public sphere.

The article asks questions about the unusual popularity of Stanisław Staszic (1755–1826), that culminated during his funeral - a spontaneous manifestation of patriotic feelings of thousands Varsovians. The author maintains that the figure of Staszic was perceived by a prism of his philanthropic activity and describes the evolution of his image as philanthropist, offering at the same time a broadened contextualization of the reasons for such popularity.
PL
Artykuł zadaje pytania o niezwykłą popularność Stanisława Staszica (1755–1826), której kulminacją był jego pogrzeb - spontaniczna manifestacja uczuć patriotycznych tysięcy mieszkańców Warszawy. Autor twierdzi, że postać Staszica była postrzegana przez pryzmat działalności filantropijnej, opisuje ewolucję jego wizerunku jako filantropa oraz prezentuje pogłębioną kontekstualizację źródeł tej popularności.
