Modern critical reception characterizes patriarch Isaac as a particular character type: the schlemiel. This article provides a tour through the cumulative evidence for this comedic read, focusing on Genesis 27, the blessing of Jacob. It provides a revised narratological and literary context, arguing that Isaac’s fivefold questioning demonstrates not confusion, but awareness: he knows exactly which son is in front of him. The paper presents an alternative narratological and literary context for Isaac, framing his questions in terms of the editing process: a synchronic reading of Isaac’s acumen is corroborated by evidence from diachronic reading. The redaction history of the Isaac material in chapter 26 yields a number of points suggesting the dependence of the Abraham material on the Isaac narrative. A number of features indicate a stronger, less subordinate Isaac figure based on the earlier tradition revealed by a complex transmission history than the image arising from the mainstream synchronic reading of chapter 27 seems to depict.

In his earliest letter, 1 Thessalonians, Paul addresses the issue of eschatology, leaving us a surprising anthropological description of the human being as “spirit, soul, and body.” Paul uses terms that are familiar to his readers. However, the first term in this threefold division of a human being, “spirit,” is the most emphasised, since the human being is no longer made up exclusively of “body and soul.” In this brief contribution, I will attempt to examine this term, “spirit,” as illuminated by its immediate narrative context and by other Pauline pneumatological texts and by its first reception. In this way, the reader will better understand the Pauline vision of the human being in the eschatology, in his ultimate destiny.

The review focuses on presenting to the reader the latest book by Marek Buś, titled Idee i formy. Studia i szkice o Norwidzie, Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, Lublin 2014. Due to the nature of the publication, which is largely a collection of previously published articles – it describes their character and purpose. It answers the question of how the author managed to organise studies that differ in terms of genre and that are addressed to various recipients with different reading competences. It discusses the role of the publication in relation to the previous researcher’s works, and its unique value, also related to its contribution to the abolition of the barrier dividing books into those intended for a small group of specialists and those for the general public.

The topic of the article is the reception of the phenomenon of James Bond in cultural writings from the times of the Polish People’s Republic. Though an average member of the Polish audience could not be directly familiar with the character (neither in literature nor in film), the scale of the popularity of the brand in the West meant that the echoes of the so-called Bondomania started to reach countries behind the Iron Curtain. Polish critics and journalists tried to acquaint their readers with the issue and explain it using various interpretative categories. The article attempts to reconstruct these categories and their hierarchy of values. Based on theses formulated by Janet Staiger (Interpreting Films: Studies in the Historical Reception of American Cinema), the author analyses the changes to Polish interpretations and opinions on the Bond phenomenon in subsequent decades and indicates the historical conditions that influenced those changes. The text focuses primarily on two periods: 1964–1971 and the latter half of the 1980s, because it was in those times that the interest of Polish critics in James Bond was particularly strong.

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, jak Cyprian Norwid rozumiał poemat Juliusza Słowackiego pt. Anhelli (1838). Norwidowska interpretacja Anhellego, którą przedstawił w swoich wykładach O Juliuszu Słowackim (1961) znacznie różniła się od poprzednich. Przed Norwidem krytycy Anhellego podziwiali jego warstwę estetyczną i doceniali wątki dokumentalne, choć nie potrafili zaakceptować jego skrajnie pesymistycznego przekazu. Natomiast Norwid zinterpretował poemat jako alegoryczne odzwierciedlenie tego, co Charles Taylor nazwałby polskim imaginarium społecznym. Podkreślając rolę metaforycznego znaczenia najważniejszych motywów w świecie przedstawionym utworu (zwłaszcza motywu Sybiru jako „bieguna ujemnego” polskiej cywilizacji, a także kreacji bohaterów jako reprezentantów określonych postaw ideowych), Norwid zinterpretował wiersz Słowackiego jako alegorię głębokiego kryzysu polskiej świadomości zbiorowej oraz obraz rozpadu społeczności narodowej. W ten sposób refleksja Norwida na temat Anhellego umożliwiła mu dokonanie krytycznej oceny charakterystycznych cech dziewiętnastowiecznej kultury polskiej i mentalności ówczesnych emigrantów.

The aim of the article is to answer the question how Cyprian Norwid understood Juliusz Słowacki’s poem entitled Anhelli (1838). Norwid’s interpretation of Anhelli, which was put forward in his lectures O Juliuszu Słowackim (1961), was significantly different from the previous ones. Before Norwid, the critics of Anhelli admired its aesthetic layer and appreciated the documentary motifs, but could not make sense of its extremely pessimistic message. Norwid, however, interpreted Anhelli as an allegorical reflection of what Charles Taylor would have called the Polish social imaginary. Emphasising the role of the metaphorical meaning of a few motifs in the world presented (especially the one of Siberia as the „negative pole” of the Polish civilisation and the picture of characters as supporters of particular ethical views), Norwid interpreted Słowacki’s poem as an allegory of a grave crisis of the Polish collective consciousness as well as a picture of the decay of the national community. In this way, Norwid’s reflection on Anhelli gave him the opportunity to criticise the qualities of the 19th-century Polish culture and the mentality of the then emigrants.

This study focuses on one of the most popular poems by František Gellner. The first part summarizes previous interpretations of the text, and on the basis of further source research, some of these are extended or partly corrected. In the next part, the study offers new relevant contexts in which this poem can be perceived. The analysis focuses predominantly on the motif of the gorilla. This motif is presented as significant at the time the poem appeared, broadly resonating throughout culture (and pop-culture) - among other things it seems related to a new reflection of the animal features of the human race, particularly sexuality. The concluding part of the study discusses the genesis of the text, analysing a manuscript variant of the poem (hitherto unknown) and the potential this source offers to the interpretation.

Studie se zabývá jednou z nejpopulárnějších básní Františka Gellnera. Ve své prvé části podává přehled dosavadních interpretací tohoto textu a některé z nich s využitím dalšího pramenného výzkumu rozvádí či částečně zpřesňuje. V další části se pokouší nabídnout nové relevantní kontexty, v nichž lze báseň vnímat. Výklad je soustředěn zejména k motivu gorily, jenž je předveden jako dobově příznačný a mnohočetně rezonující v kulturní a pop-kulturní sféře, mj. v souvislosti s reflexí animálních stránek člověka, zejména jeho sexuality. Závěrečná část studie je věnována genezi Gellnerovy básně, zejména analýze její dosud zcela neznámé rukopisné varianty a potenciálu, který tento materiál poskytuje pro interpretaci.
