Tematem artykułu jest zagraniczna recepcja polskich filmów, zwłaszcza tych zawierających komponent „historyczności”. Chociaż oczywistością wydaje się to, że im mniej wiemy o danym kraju, tym słabiej rozumiemy konkretny film i niesiony przezeń przekaz, to jednak istnieją pewne fascynujące reguły rządzące procesami rozumienia filmu, które zasługują na staranną analizę. Zgodnie z teorią afektu recepcja m.in. takich polskich filmów, jak „Róża”, „Wałęsa. Człowiek z nadziei” czy „Popiół i diament” jest uzależniona nie tylko od kognitywnego przetwarzania faktualnych danych dostarczanych przez film, ale także od złożonego procesu negocjowania odbiorczego między wiedzą o faktach a ich interpretacją, jak również w odniesieniu do czynników wiążących się z zapleczem politycznym widza, jego wykształceniem i wrażliwością emocjonalną. Falkowska wychodzi od brytyjskiej nowej fali lat 60. i podejmuje refleksję nad filmami dotyczącymi historii, a następnie koncentruje się na „Wałęsie. Człowieku z nadziei” (2013) Andrzeja Wajdy oraz jego „Popiele i diamencie” (1957), a także na „Róży” (2011) Wojciecha Smarzowskiego. W swej argumentacji autorka skupia się na interpretacji filmu o Lechu Wałęsie – produkcji, która w Polsce spotkała się z emocjonalnym odbiorem, natomiast poza granicami kraju została przyjęta raczej łagodnie.

The focus of the article is the reception of Polish films abroad, especially the ones with the historical component as its building part. While it seems obvious that the less you know about a particular country, the less you understand of the film and the message it communicates, there are some fascinating rules which govern the processes of understanding or lack of understanding that merit careful scrutiny. According to the affect theory, the reception of Polish films like “Rose”, “Walesa. Man of Hope”, “Ashes and Diamonds”, and other, depends not only on a cognitive processing of factual information conveyed by the film, but also on a complex negotiation of the spectator’s own meanings generated by the knowledge of facts and their interpretations as well as the facts pertinent to his/her own social and political background and education and emotional sensitivity. Falkowska uses British New Wave from 1960s as a starting point for the discussion of films with historical content and then concentrates on “Walesa. Man of Hope” (dir. Andrzej Wajda, 2013), “Ashes and Diamonds” (dir. Andrzej Wajda, 1957) and “Rose” (dir. Wojciech Smarzowski, 2011). The majority of her argument focuses on the interpretation of “Walesa. Man of Hope”, the film which has raised some emotions in Poland while receiving a mild response elsewhere

Using the tools offered by affect theory, this article aims to present the theme of madness, its numerous incarnations and transformations in the text of the diaries that Stefan Żeromski left behind. Madness is depicted here as a phenomenon defying any kind of unambiguity; it can be anything from a secret of nature to be deciphered, through a creative frenzy of inspiration, to a state of apathy, sometimes interwoven with sudden ecstasy, triggered by the chronic hunger that Żeromski suffered as a young man, in other words: during his diarist period.

The article analyses the media coverage of the accusations of sexual harassment and mobbing made against Henryk Jacek S., a long-time director of the Bagatela Theatre in Krakow, by its female employees. Based on the employees’ statements, the author tries to describe the situation in the theatre before the case was exposed. She refers to the category of ‘ugly feelings’, created and explored by Sianne Ngai, and specifically, to the affect of animatedness, which is characterised by particularly limited agency and the blurring of the boundary between the inside and the outside. The moment when the female employees broke the silence is associated by the author with the affect of disgust (as defined by Sara Ahmed) and the related revulsion and nausea. She also examines how this affective dynamic has influenced the women’s agency and effectiveness in relation to the recipients of their public appearances.

This article investigates one example of how affect is articulated in the self-cutting of words into the skin and how the meaning of this multimodal [statement is modified through remediation. According to Tomkins, affects are understood as intensities that are impossible to frame as feelings or emotions. A theoretical framework based on Laclau’s and Mouffe’s discourse theory and the multimodal categories developed by Kress and van Leeuwen is used. Photographs of self-cutting and statements from people who cut themselves are examined through content analyses. The results show that words that had been cut into the skin often referred to painful experiences, disgust directed against themselves, or social isolation. Further, the study shows that when the cut-in words are remediated through a photograph, digitalized and published online, other meanings appear. Inside internet communities for people who self-injure, the photographs were associated with a communal experience, identification and prescribed activity. The original self-oriented feelings about one’s shortcomings and isolation attached to self-cutting could be altered so that those connoted, instead, experiences of solidarity, identity and intimacy.

Artykuł jest próbą przeszczepienia wywodzącej się z literaturoznawstwa anglosaskiego kategorii Nowej Szczerości na grunt refleksji o przemianach kina polskiego ostatnich kilku lat. Rozpoznania zostały przedstawione w świetle trendów współczesnej humanistyki i sztuki, by było możliwe udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak wobec nich sytuuje się kino polskie. Na przykładzie filmów Cicha noc (reż. Piotr Domalewski, 2017), Zabij to i wyjedź z tego miasta (reż. Mariusz Wilczyński, 2019) oraz Wszystkie nasze strachy (reż. Łukasz Ronduda, Łukasz Gutt, 2021) autor stara się pokazać rosnące zainteresowanie takimi dyspozycjami afektywnymi bohaterów filmowych jak czułość, podatność na zranienie i troska. Proponowane rozumienie Nowej Szczerości w kontekście kina polskiego odnosi się do filmów, których twórcy podzielają obecne w polskiej debacie publicznej przekonanie o polaryzacji społecznej i kryzysie wspólnoty, a zarazem sugerują inny – reparacyjny, niosący nadzieję – model relacyjności.

The article is an attempt to transplant the category of New Sincerity, which originates from Anglo-Saxon literary studies, to the reflection on the changes in recent Polish cinema. The author's diagnoses are discussed in the context of new trends in the humanities and arts in order to answer the question how Polish cinema is positioned in relation to them. Using the examples of such films as Cicha noc (Silent Night, dir. Piotr Domalewski, 2017), Zabij to i wyjedź z tego miasta (Kill It and Leave This Town, dir. Mariusz Wilczyński, 2019) and Wszystkie nasze strachy (All Our Fears, dir. Łukasz Ronduda, Łukasz Gutt, 2021), the author tries to show the filmmakers' growing interest in such affective dispositions of the protagonists of the movies as sensitivity, vulnerability, and care. The proposed understanding of New Sincerity in the context of Polish cinema refers to films by directors who share the conviction, present in the Polish public debate, about the social polarisation and crisis of community, and at the same time offer a different – reparative and hopeful – model of relationality.

This article analyzes the scandal caused in the German public sphere by the Center for Political Beauty’s intervention The First Fall of the European Wall (2014). Prepared just before the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the campaign aimed to expose the hypocrisy of German politicians, who celebrated the dismantling of old borders and at the same time co-financed the emergence of new ones. The author presents the course of this artivist action and analyzes its negative reception, focusing on comments from a group of recipients which she categorizes as “disgusted audience.” The analysis draws on the concepts of competitive and multidirectional memory (Michael Rothberg), affect theory (Sara Ahmed), and theory of disgust (Winfried Menninghaus) to show how an audience constituted itself to depreciate the project based on the category of taste and to activate various defense mechanisms blocking the discussion about political issues brought to public attention by the artists.

The main aim of the article is an interpretation of Stanisław Barańczak’s poem Przywracanie porządku (Restoration of order), written in Cambridge, USA, between December 1981 and July 1982. This composition may be analysed as a specific closure of one stage of his literary output and the starting point of new forms of his creative work. Contemporary affect theory (as a multiplicity of forms and types) proves to be a useful methodology, which affords possibilities for new interpretations of Barańczak’s poetry.

In this article, the authors argue that critical anthropology must inevitably recognize its intrinsic aporia, which can be illustrated by the “blind spot” metaphor. They use the metaphor to point to a cognitive bias that can be described as the tendency to claim one’s own epistemological objectivity and axiological neutrality while ignoring the fact of being entangled in the object of anthropological critique. To illustrate the blind-spot effect they refer to the visible neoliberalization of Polish academia in the last decade. Their aim is to show how critical anthropologists (re)produce the entrepreneurial regimes, power relations, and mechanisms of subjugation that they critique. For the sake of their argument they use theories drawn from studies on governmentality, namely affect theory and the idea of the dispositive.

Ķermenis un afekta reprezentācija Ilmāra Blumberga portretu sērijās

The article analyses painter, graphic artist and stage designer Ilmārs Blumbergs’ (1943–2016) artworks in which he thematises the body as his intimate space subject to finality and death. Besides existential and intellectual issues, Blumbergs has always been interested in human physical existence in art. Searches for the meaning of the body and bodily states are an important theme in Blumbergs’ art. The author interprets Blumbergs’ self-portraits as imprints of his individual experience. They embody the transformations of the portrait genre in Latvian art since the 1980s; thus in his case, the traditional boundaries of the genre are significantly expanded. Affect theory as a critical discourse in the social sciences and humanities surged in the mid-1990s. This article deals with affect theory and the possibilities of using it in the interpretation of artworks. Considering the mutual connection between affect and body, the article outlines several conceptions of the body identifiable in Blumbergs’ art, including body as a space where the battle for survival takes place, and the performative body as a constituent part of the artwork. The author takes up the interpretation of works titled “Me Myself in Strontium Radiation” (2010–2012) and “My Head in Strontium Radiation”, concluding that Blumbergs’ body in “Strontium” works is real, corporeal and affected by external conditions, while at the same time being abstract too. Material and abstract features are united in the context of affect studies. In other words, the body depicted in the artwork and related to the affect can be viewed as an indivisible unity embracing both spiritual and material substances. From the perspective of Deleuze’s affect theory defining affect as an intensive force, the idea of active matter comes to the fore. Strontium radiation depicted in Blumbergs’ paintings is a representation of “expressive” matter. The author invites viewers to spot connotations of affect and bodily reactions in several of Blumbergs’ works.

Artykuł jest recenzją książki Sebastiana Jagielskiego Przerwane emancypacje. Polityka ekscesu w polskim kinie 1968-1982 (2022). Publikacja dotyczy wybranych filmów powstałych między Marcem ‘68 a wprowadzeniem stanu wojennego, charakteryzujących się formalną i tematyczną nadmiarowością, które autor umieszcza w precyzyjnie oddanym kontekście instytucjonalnym i społeczno-politycznym. Kategorię ekscesu, odczytywaną między innymi w kluczu teorii queer, autor traktuje jako symptom niewykorzystanego potencjału progresywnych ruchów kontrkulturowych zduszonych przez konserwatywną rewolucję początku lat 80. – symptom umożliwiający jednak skonstruowanie mniejszościowej narracji o polskiej kulturze, odmiennej od hegemonicznego modelu pamięci narodowo-katolickiej.

The article is a review of Sebastian Jagielski’s book Przerwane emancypacje. Polityka ekscesu w polskim kinie 1968--1982 [Interrupted Emancipations: Politics of Excess in Polish Cinema 1968-1982] (2022). The book presents several films that were made between the Polish March 1968 political crisis and the introduction of the martial law in 1981, depicting them within a detailed institutional and socio-political landscape. The films share the trait of formal as well as thematic excess, which is regarded by the author, e.g. through his reference to queer theory, as a symptom of the ultimate futility of the countercultural progressive agenda, suppressed by the conservative revolution of the early 1980s. This symptom, however, enables the author to weave a minoritarian narrative about the Polish culture which stands in stark contrast to the dominant nationalist-catholic memory.

Pamięć, performans i afekty – temat ludobójstwa w filmach Joshui Oppenheimera

Punktem wyjścia refleksji nad filmami Joshui Oppenheimera jest koncepcja performansu w ujęciu Rebeki Schneider – zwłaszcza jej uwagi na temat historycznych rekonstrukcji – oraz teoria afektów w ujęciu Jill Bennett (ponieważ rzeczywistym skutkiem praktyk performatywnych jest „afektywne poruszenie”). W proponowanym przez autora odczytaniu Sceny zbrodni (2012) i Sceny ciszy (2014) to właśnie zarejestrowane przez reżysera historyczne performanse wraz z ich zdolnością oddziaływania na emocje, czyli wywoływania określonych reakcji afektywnych (wstręt, obrzydzenie, współczucie, fascynacja), są metodą, za pomocą której można mówić o ludobójstwie w nowy sposób. Wychodząc od analizy filmów Oppenheimera, autor zastanawia się nad tym, w jaki sposób jest konstruowana i rekonstruowana pamięć o wydarzeniach historycznych, do jakiego stopnia przeszłość wpływa na teraźniejszość, a wreszcie, czy możliwe jest obserwowanie siebie niejako „z zewnątrz”, by zmierzyć się z własnymi afektami.
EN
The starting point for the reflection on Joshua Oppenheimer’s films is the concept of performance by Rebecca Schneider – especially her remarks on historical reconstructions – and the theory of affects by Jill Bennett (because the actual effect of performative practices is being “affectively moved”). In the author’s reading of The Act of Killing (2012) and The Look of Silence (2014), these historical performances registered by the director, with their ability to affect emotions, i.e. to provoke specific affective reactions (disgust, repulsion, sympathy, fascination), offer a new way in which genocide can be talked about. Starting from the analysis of Oppenheimer’s films, the author wonders how the memory of historical events is constructed and reconstructed, to what extent the past exerts influence on the present, and, finally, whether it is possible to observe yourself “from the outside” to face your own affections.

O roli wzroku i obrazu w twórczości medytacyjnej Marcina Hińczy

Marcin Hińcza (1592-1668) was a Jesuit priest and writer, author of five devotional books. He was interested in visual arts and their utility in enlisting the believers during the Counter-Reformation combat with the protestants. The first part of the article presents emblem books of Hińcza (Plęsy Anjołów and Chwała z Krzyża) as an example of the Jesuit literary current of emblemata sacra i.e. emblem books used to meditate the life of Christ (exponents of the current: Jan David, Jerónimo Nadal, Antoine Sucquet). The literary current based on the symbolic theology (theologia symbolica, iconomystica) which – as Jacob Masen had described it – implied that symbolic arts can be used as a support in decrypting the meaning of God’s creation. The second part of the article analyses the persuasive functions of emblematic icons in meditative works of Hińcza in the context of Kwintylian’s concept of affectus (gr. pathos). The emotive influence on the spectator of emblematic icons was an element of the Hińcza’s didactic technique whose aim was to enable his readers the moral recollection during meditative exercises.
