The practice of life writing, seemingly vastly anthropocentric, can be perceived as a valuable testimony to human-animal relations. The history of women’s autobiographical writing in particular demonstrates shows how necessary it is for an autobiographer to include other, often non-human perspectives in a narrative. Drawing on the theory of autobiography as well as the conceptions of Éric Baratay and Erica Fudge, I argue that personal narratives can be seen as a practice of leaving behind traces of both human and non-human experience. Taking the autobiographies by Colette, Virginia Woolf and Zofia Nałkowska as representative examples, I try to shed light on the possible ways of finding those traces and revealing how animal lives are entangled with the lives of the autobiographers. Such a reading mode enables to recognize non-human animals as agents and subjects that are strongly interrelated with but not dependent on humans.

The article discusses the possibility of reading women’s autobiographies with the main focus on the lives non-human animals. Drawing on the theory of autobiography and the field of animal studies I argue that it is feasible to extract valid and accurate accounts of numerous human-animal relationships or find traces of various animal experience whereby animals can be recognized as agents and subjects.

This article aims at analyzing the relationship between intertextual and autobiographical memory in Georges Perec and Radu Cosaşu’s writings, revealing several of their characteristics, similarities and paradoxes. Starting from the assumption that almost every book Georges Perec ever wrote (regardless of whether essays, autobiographical accounts, travel sketches, screen plays or novels), carries the stamp of his struggle to construct a plural identity (trying to harmonize his Jewish-Polish origin, the legacy of traumatic past-experiences - his father’s death on the battle field when he was less than six, his mother’s deportation to Auschwitz and her subsequent death etc.), and that for Cosaşu the identity “quest” is central, too, I intend to demonstrate that obliquity represents in both situations a key-concept. Moreover, when reading their childhood recollections, Georges Perec’s notes on his journey to London or Radu Cosaşu’s account of his puzzling travel to Moscow in 1968, we notice that the strategy of the oblique glance gradually generates a sort of “industrial production” of screen-memories or rather the memory of a whole generation. Besides, we can envisage the possibility of understanding their exploration of the “infra-ordinary” as an occasion for reconsidering the various interplays between writing and remembering, intertextuality and imagination, or - as Perec puts it - between “space as inventory” and “space as invention”.

In life narratives, authors unveil their lives, and autobiography also inspires authors from Muslim Arab societies. In contemporary societies, some authors have talked about their “ego” without fully revealing all their secrets. Things are more complex in a Maghrebian context in which disclosing and recounting one’s life (childhood, adolescence or even adult life) becomes a vital act. Our reasoning in this paper consists in showing that, to Malika Mokeddem, despite the criticisms and taboos, writing and being emancipated are no impediments; on the contrary, these taboos or proscriptions have motivated and served her life choices. Algerian authors often write about themselves by referring to their childhood, education and readings. Often the history of their country is at the center of their autobiographical novels. In this article, we focus on Malika Mokeddem’s childhood and adolescence, two very important periods for her, and proceed to analyze the different processes used by the novelist who in her autobiographical works seeks to “recover” her identity.

This article describes Yasmina Khadra’s autobiographical work composed of two books: "L’écrivain" and "L’imposture des mots" and its reception in France. The main purpose of this study was to establish the literary genre of these books, which implies determining whether Khandra’s work represents an autobiography or an autofiction with reference to P. Lejeune’s and V. Colonna’s theoretical studies. The dividing line between two genres in Khandra’s works refl ects his inner split between being either a solder or a writer. The presentation will also help to understand the controversy resulting from Khandra’s participation in Algerian civil war. Moreover the analysis is related to modern Algerian history.

The paper points out the importance of autobiography as a significant form of literary development. It is characterised by its main and typical features from the point of view of the most influential cultural thinkers. It expresses the general meaning of (chosen) individuality in the background of contemporary context and versatile (determined, diverse) contacts. By such an object, it comes to the axiom that it is a kind of (re) presentation of the world, the period, creative people and their efforts in the cultural, literary, prosaic field. After general observations, the paper deals with the Kulpín native Albert Martiš (1855 - 1918), a prominent figure among the Slovaks in Serbia; then a resident, citizen, teacher, minority author within the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It mentions the author's work, his memories of childhood and school years, but also his contemporary life. Based on this, it also reflects on unusual themes and portrayals of artistic material from the aspect of Martiš's short story-making. It analyses his versatile cultural-enlightening activity, with emphasis on his autobiographical features and short stories. This type of memoir literature presents Albert Martiš - according to literary criticism - from his best creative side. At the same time, the article interprets, from an objective-subjective point of view, his commemorative prose with autobiographical elements entitled Memories of the Lower Land Revival. Based on the documentary character of this work, the text analyses surroundings, social situations and prominent cultural and literary “workers” of the time. With special regard, it emphasizes the life and work of Albert Martiš, his gradual confirmation of education, morality and character, of course, in the background of the examined prototexts. The paper points out the most typical features of this segment of his literary work in the mentioned short stories, in which their specific diversity (even characteristic) is particularly interesting. The interpretation method from the position of perceptive reading presents various (concrete) elements of autobiography, which not only derive the typical features of Albert Martiš´s author idiolect, but also the overall social "atmosphere" of the Lowland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this way, the individual and collective memory of the past is being concretised at present, thanks to the interpreted prose, which is in fact a kind of media in various contexts of the cultural-literary tradition of all of us (also in the future).

This article is a polemical discussion with the recent attempts to define the nature and purpose of theology in Czech context. I critically examine the call to do theology rather than to think in theology as presented in the work of František Štěch and Štefan Štofaník. In contrast to these authors, I argue for theology as the practice of theoretical thinking, inspired by Jean Yves Lacoste, and propose that not practice but the lived experience in a philosophical reflection is the locus where the nature and purpose of theology is most clearly manifested.

Aim. This paper presents a narrative interview procedure in a unique way, due to the presence of not one, but two narrators simultaneously. The narrative interview technique was presented in the context of the narrative-biographical method, and marital functioning was presented in the context of a systemic understanding of the family. Methods. The study was conducted using a narrative interview technique with married couples who rate their marriage as happy. The research focused on happiness in marriage and was conducted with a group of spouses who subjectively rate their marriage as highly satisfying. Results. The article justifies the validity of using a narrative interview with simultaneous participation of both spouses. Conclusions. The shape of the narrative depends to a large extent on the way it functions, its structure, the level of closeness, satisfaction with the relationship, and the links between the different members of the system. Inviting both spouses to a joint narrative interview was justified in the situation of conducting research among married couples who assessed their marriage as very satisfying. Otherwise, a joint interview would probably have been impossible, and certainly risky.
PL
Cel. W artykule przedstawiono procedurę prowadzenia wywiadu narracyjnego w wyjątkowy sposób, z uwagi na obecność nie jednego, ale dwóch narratorów jednocześnie. Technikę wywiadu narracyjnego przedstawiono w kontekście metody narracyjno-biograficznej, a funkcjonowanie małżeństwa w kontekście systemowego rozumienia rodziny. Metody. Badanie prowadzono z wykorzystaniem techniki wywiadu narracyjnego z małżeństwami, które oceniają swoje małżeństwo jako szczęśliwe. Badania dotyczyły szczęścia w związku i były prowadzone w grupie małżonków, którzy subiektywnie oceniają swoje małżeństwo jako wysoce satysfakcjonujące. Wyniki. W artykule udowodniono zasadność zastosowania wywiadu narracyjnego z jednoczesnym udziałem obojga małżonków. Wnioski. Kształt narracji zależy w znacznej mierze od sposobu jej funkcjonowania, struktury, poziomu bliskości, satysfakcji z relacji, powiązań pomiędzy poszczególnymi członkami systemu. Zaproszenie do wspólnego wywiadu narracyjnego obojga małżonków było zasadne w sytuacji prowadzenia badań wśród małżeństw, które oceniały swój związek jako bardzo satysfakcjonujący. W innym wypadku wspólny wywiad prawdopodobnie byłby niemożliwy, a na pewno ryzykowny.

Przedmiotem analizy jest trzytomowa autobiografia Manèsa Sperbera (1905-1984) All das Vergangene… (Wszystko, co minione). Opisana w niej przemiana pobożnego chłopca z wschodniogalicyjskiego miasteczka w rewolucyjnego marksistę i komunistę ma egzemplaryczne znaczenie. Sile oddziaływania marksistowskiej ideologii ulegli liczni intelektualiści wielu krajów. Stwierdzenie powyższe dotyczy szczególnie żydowskich intelektualistów pochodzących ze wschodniej Europy. Fakt to ogólnie znany. Mniej znane są psychologiczne i społeczne motywacje podejmowanych przez nich światopoglądowych decyzji. A przecież dopiero one pozwalają zrozumieć, dlaczego idea „światowej rewolucji“ zapuściła najgłębsze korzenie w tej socjalnej sferze. W kontekście zarysowanej tu problematyki wspomnienia Sperbera posiadają ogromny walor poznawczy. Początek narracji przypada na pierwsze dziesięciolecie minionego stulecia, urywa się ona wraz z końcem II Wojny Światowej. Obejmuje zatem ona cztery najbardziej dramatyczne dekady historii współczesnej.

The subject of the analysis is a three-volume-autobiography by Manès Sperber (1905-1984) All das Vergangene… (All that is gone…). The transformation of a pious boy of an eastern Galician village into a revolutionary Marxist and communist has an exemplary importance. Many intellectuals from various countries were in thrall to the power of the Marxian ideology. The foregoing statement refers especially to the Jewish intellectuals from the Eastern Europe, which is a commonly known issue. What is less known, are the psychological and social motives of their worldview driven decisions. And it is only them that allow to understand why the idea of a „world revolution“ puts down its deepest roots in this social sphere. In the context of the problems depicted here, Sperber’s memories have immense cognitive value.
DE
Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse steht All das Vergangene, die dreibändige Autobiographie Manès Sperbers (1905-1984). Die in ihr beschriebene Entwicklung von der frommen Gesinnung der frühen Lebensjahre zum revolutionären Marxisten (Kommunisten) ist exemplarisch gewesen. Den Verlockungen der marxistischen Ideologie sind zahlreiche Intellektuelle aus aller Herren Ländern erlegen. In besonderer Weise galt das für jüdische Intellektuelle aus Europas Osten, aus den osteuropäischen „Städtels“. Das ist allgemein bekannt. Weniger bekannt sind psychologische und soziologische Voraussetzungen sowie Motivierungen ihrer weltanschaulichen Entscheidungen. Sie sind es aber, die erkennen lassen, warum die Idee der „Weltrevolution“ gerade in dieser Lebenssphäre besonders tiefe Wurzeln schlug. Im Zusammenhang mit der hier umrissenen Problematik besitzen Sperbers Lebenserinnerungen einen unschätzbaren Erkenntniswert. Im ersten Jahrzehnt des vergangenen Jahrhunderts setzt Sperbers Lebensbericht ein, mit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges klingt er aus, umfasst also vier blutigste, insoweit höchst denkwürdige Dekaden der modernen Geschichte.

Between phantasy and reality. Some comments to Dichterleben written by Heinz Piontek The novel by Heinz Piontek Dichterleben is not an autobiographical novel. Nonetheless the article tries to find correlations between statements stated by the novels character Reichsfelder and the opinions of Piontek, written by himself in his essays and interviews. The article also highlights the tendency Pioteks to “reproduce” the belonging to literary prose or lyric texts, motives and “linguistic pictures” in Dichterleben and to process them. Above that the article shows how close the phantasy and reality are connected together. It is also an attempt to show which component of the novel is most important.

Generativität der Autobiographie am Beispiel von Christa Wolfs "Kindheitsmuster"

Autobiographien werden einerseits geschrieben, damit die Erzähler sich ihrer Identität vergewissern, andererseits um gewonnene Erfahrungen an die nächste Generation weiterzugeben. Dieses Potenzial der Literatur für die Bildung wird Generativität genannt. Am Beispiel von Christa Wolfs Kindheitsmuster wird diskutiert, inwieweit die Darstellung der Kindheit zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus sowie der Reise nach Polen im Jahre 1971 Gestaltung wirklicher Ereignisse oder Fiktion ist. Bei der Analyse erweist sich, dass der Realitätsbezug nachweisbar, zugleich aber das Werk kunstvoll komponiert ist. Damit können wir von einer Autobiographie zweiter Ordnung sprechen, die aus individueller Geschichte allgemeine Leitsätze und Denkimpulse anbietet. Dieses Wirkungspotenzial erzeugt Generativität: Ein Vermächtnis für die nachfolgenden Generationen.
EN
On the one hand autobiographies are written to make the narrators sure of their identity, on the other hand to transmit their acquired experiences to the next generation. This potential of literature is called generativity. Illustrated by Christa Wolf’s Kindheitsmuster it will be discussed to what extent the description of events in the childhood during the time of National Socialism and of the trip to Poland in 1971 is a reproduction of reality or invented fiction. By interpretation it will be proved that reconstruction of reality is as evident as the composition of a complex work of art. So we can describe Kindheitsmuster as autobiography of second order, which is offering general lessons and thought patterns by the means of an individual story. This potential creates generativity: a legacy for the coming generations.
PL
Autobiografie powstają z jednej strony dlatego, że narratorzy chcą się umocnić w swej tożsamości, z drugiej zaś, by własne doświadczenia przekazywać następnym generacjom. Ten potencjał literatury dla procesu kształcenia określany jest mianem generatywności. Na przykładzie Wzorców dzieciństwa Christy Wolf w artykule podjęto rozważania nad kwestią, na ile opisane w powieści lata dzieciństwa w okresie narodowego socjalizmu oraz ukazana tu podróż do Polski w 1971 roku opierają się na rzeczywistych wydarzeniach, a na ile są fikcją literacką. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazuje, że związek z rzeczywistością jest udokumentowany, lecz jednocześnie utwór ten ma bardzo wyszukaną kompozycję. W tym przypadku można zatem mówić o ‘autobiografii drugiego rzędu’, w której na bazie własnych doświadczeń formułowane są ogólne zasady i przemyślenia. Dzięki temu uwidacznia się generatywność: dziedzictwo dla następnych generacji.
