The article is a reformulation of a paper delivered in 2012 during a meeting commemorating Prof. Bogdan Zakrzewski. It preserves the reminiscing-confessional nature of the paper, combining elements of a scholarly discourse and subjectivised first-person narrative. The author juxtaposes a synthesis of facts and a description of Prof. Zakrzewski’a achievements in Fredro studies with personal experiences as a reader. An account of a reader of Prof. Zakrzewski’s works becomes a starting point for an attempt to present an “imaginary portrait” of Bogdan Zakrzewski — as a specialist in Fredro studies recorded in the written word. The author focuses on a symbiosis between the scholar and the subject of his study, looking in the analysed works not only for manifestations of Aleksander Fredro, but also, above all, for linguistic traces of the personality and scholarly ethos of Prof. Zakrzewski.

The article is an attempt to present the multiple aspects of the “death” of the book in culture. The topic can be examined on several levels, discussed in the following order: empirical (physical), speculative (discursive) and artistic (fi ctional). The author raises the question of the validity of the metaphorical use of the word „death” with reference to the book, pointing to its basic sources and connotations. The author’s refl ections are complemented by a short overview of literary images of the “death” of the book, which serve, as she believes, didactic and propaganda functions.

Artykuł stanowi próbę przedstawienia wieloaspektowości tematu „śmierci” książki w kulturze. Temat ten daje się rozpatrywać na kilku omówionych kolejno poziomach: empirycznym (fizykalnym), spekulatywnym (dyskursywnym) i artystycznym (fikcjonalnym). Poruszono przy tym kwestię zasadności użycia metaforycznego określenia „śmierć” w odniesieniu do książki, ze wskazaniem jego podstawowych źródeł i konotacji. Rozważania dopełnia krótki przegląd literackich obrazów „śmierci” książki, pełniących ― w przekonaniu autorki ― funkcję dydaktyczno-propagandową.

The article is an attempt to develop and introduce into Polish literary studies a reflection on Frankenstein, sometimes interpreted — by foreign scholars — as a novel about writing and reading. Referring to, among others, the symbolism of the hybrid creature from Giuseppe Arcimboldi’s painting, the notion of intertextuality, feminist criticism (Kazimiera Szczuka, Urszula Śmietana) and remarks from Michele Turner’s If it be a monster birth: Reading and literary property in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, the author examines the topic on three basic levels. The first concerns the primary relation between the writer and the text, with regard to which Frankenstein emerges as a partial reflection of Mary Shelley’s reading biography, also as a kind of “somatext,” i.e. a literary testimony to reading one’s own corporeality — a work in the “cracks” of which, as Kazimiera Szczuka puts it, “hides [...] a tale of an inextricable link of persecution between the woman and her work born of flesh and writing, in madness and anguish.” In this part of her analysis, the author refers to a modern travesty of the story of writing Frankenstein — Federico Andahazi’s novel The Merciful Women. This is a point of departure for examining the subject of “writing and reading” on another level of interpreting Shelley’s work. The story of the “birth” of the Monster and its subsequent fate, not controlled by the Creator anymore, can be read, according to the author, as a reflection of the universal relation between the author, the text and the (collective) addressee, as a unique allegory of the act of creating a text and its reception in society as a result of which — due to reasons beyond the writer’s control — the text is sometimes turned into a “monstrosity,” with dangerous qualities being ascribed to it. The author also sees in the creation of the Monster-text of the novel a clear allusion to a toxic aspect of the Romantic reading culture. Thus the 19th-century figure of the reading Monster become a model example of the anti-reader, combining attributes of both Romantic readers of The Sorrows of Young Werther and of the child, i.e. the figure which — in comparison with books — was best able to evoke a vision of danger resulting from a premature, unskilled contact of an inexperienced user with the world of literary fiction. In the case of all three narrators of the novel, the role of reading, strongly emphasised by Shelley, is a point of departure for reflections on the last level of interpreting Frankenstein, focusing on a broadly defined problem of education and upbringing. For it seems that by presenting the very similar first reading experiences of Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein or the Monster, Shelly points to the main reasons why reading might become a source of anguish for the reader.

Information literacy lies at the heart of lifelong learning and is a prerequisite for effective participation in an information society. This article discusses the level of information literacy skills observed among Polish secondary school students, based on the example of two secondary schools in Toruń, with the information literacy of the study population identified and characterised using the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy model, and also compared with the students' self-assessment of their information skills and knowledge. The majority of students were classified as competent, having mastered information skills to a satisfactory degree in most of the pillars analysed, although competency areas in need of educational efforts were also identified.

Umiejętność korzystania z informacji leży u podstaw uczenia się przez całe życie oraz warunkuje efektywne uczestnictwo w społeczeństwie informacyjnym. W artykule dokonano rozpoznania i charakterystyki poziomu umiejętności informacyjnych toruńskich licealistów w odniesieniu do podstawowego modelu siedmiu filarów kompetencji informacyjnych (The SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy) oraz porównano ją z samooceną uczniów i ich poczuciem własnej skuteczności w tym zakresie. Badanych sklasyfikowano jako osoby kompetentne, które opanowały umiejętności informacyjne w stopniu zadowalającym w większości analizowanych filarów. Zidentyfikowano także obszary kompetencyjne wymagające podjęcia działań edukacyjnych.

The article presents the authors’ reflections on the application of action research strategy in developing the research toolkit of undergraduates at the Nicolaus Copernicus University Faculty of Pedagogical Sciences. The research was based on students’ opinions on conducting research using the action research strategy. Opinions were collected using semistructured interviews, which were recorded and transcribed. The study involved 16 students of pedagogy, participants of a proseminar and a diploma seminar. The students were preparing to work on their diploma theses and conduct a research process. The selected students elected to implement the action research strategy into their scientific activity. Data collected during the interviews attest to the usefulness of the adopted strategy which the respondents found helpful in solving educational issues in the examined communities. The undergraduates presented their opinions on action research, methods of identifying research problems, and the benefits of implementing action research in the course of scientific research activities. They also indicated difficulties in carrying out action research and stated research competencies recommended to equip future teachers with.

It can be observed that the sexualization of media messages and the associated related objectification, mainly of women, has been gaining momentum in recent years. These phenomena influence the functioning of women, including, among other things, the perception of their bodies and the actions and activities theyundertake. The exploitation of women as sexual objects is particularly often used in advertising. The article’s purpose is to describe this phenomenon and possible forms of support and education, especially for young women.

Można zauważyć, że seksualizacja przekazów medialnych i związane z nią uprzedmiotowienie, głównie kobiet, przybiera na sile w ciągu ostatnich lat. Zjawiska te nie pozostają bez wpływu na funkcjonowanie kobiet, w tym m.in. na odbiór własnego ciała, ale też na podejmowane działania i aktywności. Wykorzystanie kobiet jako obiektów seksualnych szczególnie często stosowane jest w reklamach. Celem artykułu jest opis tego zjawiska oraz możliwych form wsparcia i edukacji, szczególnie młodych kobiet.
