The article focuses on today’s Québécois literature and aims to show a range of practices of expression and of literary formes popular thanks to or because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During lockdown, some writers as well as amateurs, felt the urge to write. In reference to the collective «Récits infectés» (Infected stories) and Wajdi Mouawad’s lockdown diary, as well as other initiatives from the beginning of the lockdown, the article also considers the function of writing in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article seeks to reconstruct the victimisation of so-called ‘criminal’ prisoners at penitentiary facilities during the last decade of what was the People’s Republic of Poland (i.e. communist Poland). The introductory section outlines the context of the implemented and evolving penitentiary policy of the past years and the importance of the political system transformation for the organisation of the penitentiary system. The proposed analysis focuses on the violence experience in the relations of the convicted with the prison officers. The article describes the methods of building and reinforcing (inter)dependence relations founded upon various forms of violence – primarily, direct physical actions and the managing by the officers of poor social conditions that led to degrade and symbolically depersonalise the prisoners. The description, moreover, includes the strategies the inmates resorted to in dealing with the oppression they experienced. The analysis is based on interviews with multiple recidivists and autobiographical letters of prisoners who served time in the 1980s decade.

This paper is based on the assumption that it is possible to overcome generic boundaries and discern a shared language in the literary and visual arts. Its purpose is to demonstrate how literature and art rupture the Victorian ideal of angelic woman at home and allow us to enter intimate territories of female minds where free will goes against the sanctioned expectations. I will demonstrate this on the basis of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, where a pilgrimage to maturity and emotional fulfillment is embodied as space. This text will be juxtaposed with Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott,” read as a representation of defiance of gender-ascribed confinement. One of this poem’s most potent pictorial images, Hunt’s engraving of 1857 (a basis for his later painting of 1905), capturing the Lady in the moment of fateful decision-making is compared with Jane Eyre’s other silent home-ridden character, Bertha Rochester. All three images, of Jane, Bertha and the Lady, realize in their own way a territorial relocation seen as necessary for an untrapping of femininity.
PL
Na podstawie wybranych utworów literackich, „Jane Eyre” Charlotte Brontё i „Pani na Shalott” Alfreda Tennysona, oraz obrazu Prerafaelity Williama Hunta, artykuł ukazuje sposoby kwestionowania przez ich autorów wiktoriańskiego ideału kobiety-anioła, strażniczki domowego ogniska. Omawiane prace pokazują jednocześnie, że wspólna tematyka umożliwia przekroczenie barier gatunkowych, a przez to ukazanie podobnej intensywności uczuć, dotarcie do intymnych przestrzeni świadomości i ukrytych przed światem pragnień i przemyśleń bohaterek, które nie wahają się kwestionować usankcjonowanych konwencji społecznych. We wszystkich omawianych pracach kluczowym elementem definiującym przynależność społeczną jest przestrzeń i to w odniesieniu do niej bohaterki Charlotte Brontё, Jane Eyre i Bertha Rochester, oraz Pani na Shalott Tennysona i Hunta definiują swoją tożsamość. Artykuł ukazuje, że to właśnie w odniesieniu do na nowo zdefiniowanego własnego terytorium odnajdują one drogę do swoiście pojmowanej wolności i uwolnienia kobiecości.

Artykuł jest próbą odkrycia w twórczości Pasierba głównych wyznaczników kondycji poety, jego doświadczeń, poczucia społecznego i kulturowego statusu. Autorka rozprawy poprzez analizy konkretnych tekstów i ich relacji z obrazami sztuki wizualnej pokazuje modelującą wtym zakresie semantycznym funkcję takich pojęć jak wygnanie, uwięzienie czy zniewolenie. Odwołanie do hermeneutyki spod znaku Paula Ricoeura umożliwiło dodatkowo postawienie ważnych tez, odnoszących się do całości dzieła poety, a wskazujących na istotną dla niego problematykę odpowiedzialności i istnienia prawdziwego (tożsamości). Artykuł dowodzi, że poezja Pasierba jest korektą kulturowego stereotypu.
EN
The article is an attempt at discovering the main determinants of Pasierb’s condition, his experiences, his social sense and cultural status in the poet’s works. By analyzing actual texts and their relations with pictures of visual art the author of the paper shows the function of such concepts as exile, confinement or constraint that is a modeling one in the semantic range. Referring to hermeneutics of the Ricoeur type has additionally made it possible to put forward important theses concerning the whole of the poet’s work, and pointing to the issue of responsibility and true existence (identity) that is important to him. The article proves that Pasierb’s poetry is a correction of the cultural stereotype.

Separation, loss, confinement, and change have been imposed on entire populations during the Covid-19 pandemic in the form of lockdowns aimed at limiting the spread of the virus. They are also central to Evagrian asceticism, where they establish the conditions for the change at which the monastic life aims, namely to begin to reverse the effects of the fall by restoring the soul to health. This paper examines how they do so in order to gain an understanding of their ascetic function. Following the Introduction, it outlines Evagrius’ anthropology in order to lay the groundwork for its main theme, the healing of pathos through the practical life. Separation, loss, and confinement are each considered in turn by referencing Evagrius’ descriptions of their ascetic function and his own experience of them. Next, the change at which they aim is described, again drawing upon a range of Evagrian material. The final section of the paper considers how Evagrius can speak to the experience of lockdown by endowing separation, loss, confinement with meaning and purpose in relation to spiritual awakening and growth, highlighting our freedom to choose our attitude to them, and acting as both our guide and our companion.
