RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: On the one hand, contem­porary politics is so overwhelmed by imagination that there is a risk for politics to be dissolved into mere crea­tive communication. On the other hand, in an age when politics is reduced to simple administration, there is little room for imagination and the new possibilities it brings. By illuminating the ambiguous nature of the imaginative act I would like to show how a Christian vision of politics may help to understand both sides of this paradox. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: There are two radically distinct ways to carry out imagi­nation depending on the subject’s fundamental attitude. Thus I will elaborate through a phenomenological analysis how this difference is present in all dimension of political imagination concerning the following essential criteria: a) the focus on the intentional object, b) methodology, c) temporal structure. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: If the act of fantasy is really that negative in all these aspects why do philosophers prefer it to the act of imagination? I argue that historically speaking the pivotal point is the Kantian philosophy and it is the Kantian heritage that influenced Feuerbach to lay the new fundaments of political fantasy. RESEARCH RESULTS: Through interpreting a crucial passage of Feuer­bach’s The Essence of Christianity I show that the way Kant and Feuerbach trans­formed the concept of a receptive and obedient imagination focused on the Christian mystery are fatal for political philosophy. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I insist that contemporary Christian politics is once again on a cross‑road, either it remains captivated by fantasy or it gets liberated by becoming true imagina­tion. Imagination is centered on the mystery that illuminates the whole sphere of politics in all of its horizontal and vertical dimensions and thus allows for a radically new beginning of political reflection.

Starting with Jerzy Jarzębski’s opinion that the fantastic convention in contemporary literature fulfills the role of “artificial sense”, the Author analyzes selected works related to the subject of the Holocaust in order to check the functionality and artistic value of fantastic elements used there. She notes that fantasy helps writers express the experience of emptiness following a loss, strengthens the trauma related to the past, and emphasizes the literariness of the text, fulfilling the role of metafiction.

Starting with a reconstruction of the views of philosophers and aesthetes on the topic of fantastic images, the Author aims to characterize fantasy art. She describes the reception of this art in Poland, characterizes its determinants, and defines the trend, indicating the most important examples of artistic works. While exploring this approach, she refers to Waldemar Okoń, Jerzy Malinowski, Tomasz Gryglewicz, and Antoni Smuszkiewicz. The convention of fantasy art appears to be a vital, developmental quality, an expression of the rebellion of consciousness against simplifications.

Thomas Owen is well-known as a master of the fantastic 20th century’s short stories. This genre is often influenced by the medieval fiction, in its atmosphere, ‘colour’ and moreover throught precise figures, situations and, sometimes, well specific works, specially arthurian. The case of Owen offers the particular interest of not really a rewriting or even a genuine reception but, supported by a knowledge of some texts, of a literary construction founded on the author’s appreciation of a ‘spirit of the Middle Ages’.

The article „This Demonic Bosch”. In Four-Hundredth Anniversary of Painter’s Death by Ksenia Olkusz and Wiesław Olkusz concerns the reception of Hieronymus Bosch in contemporary popular literature. Bosch inspirations are traced in Michael Connelly’s or Jeffrey Lindsay’s crime fiction, as well as in fantasy genre, represented here by Polish writer Jarosław Grzędowicz. Many writers exhibit interests in Bosch’s biography which, in turn, becomes interwoven in their storytelling. These tendencies come not only from the long-observed liaisons between literature and visual arts, but are also a consequence of the increasing popularity of mysterious works of art following Dan Brown’s bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code. In at least a decade after the premiere of Brown’s work, many subsequent books has already proved to be clearly inspired by his concept. This type of novel requires to recall paintings we do not know much about or biographies of painters that are still incomplete or lack precise account of their lives. Accordingly, the oeuvre of Hieronymus Bosch-an enigmatic figure and author of disturbing artworks alike-is presented as a prodigious source of story ideas.

This paper is a conversational reassessment of George MacDonald, the Victorian fantasist who so profoundly shaped such writers as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Primary research challenges the common portrayal of MacDonald as an accidental novelist, revealing instead his clear trajectory and vocation as a devoted literary scholar. Clarifying the definition of mythopoeic as applied by the Oxford Inklings to MacDonald draws attention to their conviction that attentive response to one’s literary roots is what engenders novel literature with transformative potential. Further research proves this to be in keeping with the work and legacy of MacDonald and his mentor A.J. Scott. An intentional participation in this relational nature of literary tradition is a crucial element of the work and legacy to which the Inklings and their successors are heirs.

The article discusses translation strategies used by the author when dealing with culture-specific references/concepts in the rendition in Polish of the Norwegian fantasy trilogy The Sign of theElves by Sigbjørn Mostue. The challenge here lay in that the novels feature a number of characters inspired by Norwegian folklore. Of the following translation strategies that in the author’s opinion are possible, but not as yet fully listed anywhere, i.e. 1) direct borrowing 2) literal translation 3) direct borrowing + footnote 4) literal translation + footnote 5) direct borrowing + descriptive explanation 6) literal translation + descriptive explanation 7) substitution with another reference from source culture 8) substitution with another reference from target culture 9) substitution with another reference from universal/global culture 10) substitution with translator’s own coinage 11) evasion by simplification 12) evasion by omission, strategies 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were used in the translation in question. In his choice of the (mostly functional) equivalents in the target language, the translator drew upon two main sources: Slavic demonology and role-playing games (RPGs).
