The neoromantic and modern Polish culture was the source of Andrzej Kijowski’s literary imagination. His symbols, myths, as well as generally speaking constructivism and historicism were shaped by the specific Polish past. As a result, this author paradoxically was both constructivist and anti-constructivist. His philosophy was changing during his life but there is no strict line of evolution. At the same time, in different proportions, historical relativism and metaphysical essentialism coincided in Kijowski’s thinking.

The analytical method used in the text refers to the article by Ryszard Nycz, Intertextual Poetics: Traditions and Perspectives, in which he defines intertextuality as a category defining the construction and meaning of the text (work of art), making its creation and reception dependent on the presence of other texts and architexts. Philip Glass’ Symphony No. 5 “Requiem, Bardo and Nirmanakaya” is noted for the presence of numerous other texts and architexts. These are the ideas of Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism, multiculturalism, the reference to the ideas of Romanticism, and to the oratorio genres. The relationship of the 5th Symphony with the ideas of Tibetan Buddhism is reflected, among others, by the use of the texts from The Tibetan Book of the Dead and Shantideva’s Bodhicaryavatara (A Guide to the Boddhisattva’s Way of Life). The connection with the Hindu tradition manifests itself in the use of the texts from the Rig Veda, the Bhagavad Gita, and The Vishnu-Purana. The multiculturalism of Symphony No. 5 is reflected in the use of literary texts taken from a number of different sources. The reference to Romantic style in the Symphony No. 5 is manifested in such features as: melodious vocal parts, neotonality, varied formal structures, predominant use of homophony, contrasting various types of expression in different movements, and the occurrence of great culminations. In the “macroform” of the work the idea of the three parts is highlighted, which binds it to the cyclical form typical of the symphony. As noted by R. Maycock (2002), the sequence of the three themes discussed in the symphony: (1) creation and pre-creation myths, (2) fundamental problems of life and death, (3) visions of apocalypse and paradise and reference to the future, is reflected in the three sections of the composition plan. The relationship with the oratorio genre is demonstrated by setting the piece in 12 vocal-instrumental movements and the important role of the choir.

This paper analyses concept of nationality in writings of Karol Ludwik Koniński (1891‑1943), polish writer and literary critic. Koniński was exceptional religious thinker, considering idea of Almighty God rather like moral postulate than reality. His philosophical‑theological thinking has many similarities to Simone Weil’s thought. The main concept in Koniński’s thought was distinction between ‘worthwile living’ and ‘worthless living’ inspired by neoromantic thinkers like Jean Marie Guyau, Otto Weininger and Stanisław Brzozowski. In his opinion the most worthy way of living was live in accordance with universal ethics and national culture, considered as moral heritage of past generations. Idea of nation bolstered by Koniński was idea of cultural community inspired by heroic work of national elites. In political context of his times Koniński recognized special task of Poland in propagation of idea political Liberty in East Europe, in his terms it was ‘the Greatness of Poland’. However, he missed economic aspect of political power, in consequence his heroic idea of polish nationality become neoromantic utopia of will.

The article explores a need to provide a permanent revision of the ways of reading classical texts. The fairy drama The Forest Song was written by Lesya Ukrainka, who is acclaimed as an outstanding dramatist of Ukrainian literature. This play has a vast bibliography and serves as a target of a variety of critical approaches. The point is, however, that the predominant position among them still belongs to the interpretative models generated by Lesya Ukrainka’s contemporaries. This refers, first of all, to those who have hitherto interpreted The Forest Song within the following two frameworks: neoromantic, grounded in Polissyan folklore and the author’s mythology, and neoclassical, launched by neoclassicists of the 1920s and based on the ties of Lesya Ukrainka’s play with classical drama. The scholars overlook, though, a conflict between the two interpretations. Each model, employed with no regard for the other one, operates on certain elements of the text. The scholars neglect the need to correlate their work with the other, totally inverse, model (neoromanticism and neoclassicism are, at a fundamental level, as aesthetically opposed to each other as are romanticism and classicism). The article offers a new model for reading the text of Lesya Ukrainka through the lens of symbolism. This model allows us to account for the congruence of classical normativity and romantic liberty within a single text.

The subject of reflection is, first, the work of Jozef Lobodovski (1909–1988), a Polish poet, prose writer, journalist, and translator and, second, an international conference that took place on March 21–22, 2019, at the Faculty of Humanities of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of his birth. From his infancy, the writer was associated with Lublin but spent most of his life abroad, in Spain. His attitude is characterised by universalism understood as tolerance towards nations in the cultural and religious context, as well as an uncompromising, stubborn struggle for the freedom of nations conquered by Soviet imperialism. A distinct feature of his interests is the East Slavonic problem, especially the Ukrainian one. During the meeting, 16 papers were delivered by scientists from Poland, Ukraine, and Spain. The programme of the conference included a violin concert (performed by the younger generation of the writer’s family) and recitations, performed by the UMCS students of Ukrainian philology, of works and poetic translations by Jozef Lobodovski, as well as of translations of his poetry into Ukrainian. The aim of the activities undertaken is not only to promote the artist with an exceptionally rich artistic and journalistic achievements but also to preserve the memory of him as a man of international dialogue, a humanist and a patriot, a noteworthy literary figure of Lublin during the interwar period, and a political emigrant who was banned in the Polish People’s Republic.

Four Movements for Two Pianos Philipa Glassa jest kompozycją, której wiele cech pozwala zaszeregować ją do nurtu w muzyce przełomu XX i XXI wieku określanego jako „neoromantyzm” lub „nowy romantyzm”. W utworze tym elementem pierwszoplanowym staje się melodyka, zaś harmonika oparta jest na trójdźwiękach i czterodźwiękach. Dominującą fakturą jest homofonia, w zakresie artykulacji często wprowadzana jest gra legato. Zaakcentowanie w tytule czterech części wchodzących w skład utworu wskazuje na analogie z czteroczęściowym schematem cyklu sonatowego. Część pierwsza odzwierciedla elementy formy allegra sonatowego, o czym świadczy tempo szybkie, wystąpienie dwóch przeciwstawnych tematów i ich przetwarzanie oraz wprowadzenie krótkiej repryzy, a także stosowanie nieregularnych struktur okresowych. Część druga, utrzymana w tempie umiarkowanie wolnym, ma budowę odcinkową; zaznaczają się w niej cechy ronda. Część trzecia utrzymana jest w formie odcinkowej. W jej warstwie wyrazowej kompozytor nawiązał do tradycji gatunku scherza. Finał (Movement 4) kompozytor ujął w formę wariacji z dwoma tematami. W Four Movements for Two Pianos kompozytor nawiązuje także do tradycji romantycznych utworów cyklicznych poprzez dążenie do ujednolicenia materiału tematycznego. O oryginalności ustanowionego przez Philipa Glassa idiomu postminimalistycznej sonaty świadczy nowatorskie kształtowanie struktur tematycznych, łączące struktury ewolucyjne, nawiązujące do tradycji sonaty klasyczno-romantycznej, z procedurami repetycyjnymi o proweniencji minimalistycznej oraz zestawianie minimalistycznej faktury fortepianowej z fakturą wirtuozowską. O postminimalistycznym obliczu utworu Four Movements for Two Pianos zadecydowało przede wszystkim wprowadzenie techniki repetytywnej oraz oryginalne zestawianie jej z techniką przetworzeniową i wariacyjną. W sposobie kształtowania formy — odwołaniem do dawnego modelu formalnego i wypełnianiem go nowoczesnym językiem dźwiękowym nawiązał Glass do idiomu neoklasycznej sonaty.

Philip Glass’s Four Movements for Two Pianos is a composition whose numerous qualities allow it to be linked with the contemporary musical trend known as “neoromanticism” or “new romanticism”. The crucial element of the piece is the melody, the harmony is based on triads and four-note chords. The dominant texture is homophony, and the legato articulation is often introduced. The four movements stressed in the title indicate analogy with the four-part sonata cycle. The first part reflects the elements of the sonata-allegro form, as evidenced by the fast tempo, the occurrence of two opposing subjects and their transformation, introducing a short recapitulation, and the use of irregular periodic structures. The second part, written at moderate pace, has a sectional structure; there are some features of the rondo form. The third part also has a sectional structure. The composer referred to the scherzo genre in it. Movement 4 takes the variation form with the two themes. In Four Movements for Two Pianos the composer also refers to the tradition of romantic cyclical works by striving to unify the thematic material. Philip Glass in his postminimalist sonata provides an innovative formation of the thematic structures, linking evolutionary structures, referring to the tradition of classical and romantic sonatas with the repetitive procedures of minimalist origin, and combining a minimalist piano texture with a virtuoso texture. The postminimalist nature of Four Movements for Two Pianos was determined primarily by the introduction of the repetitive technique, which is compiled with the development and variation techniques. In the manner of shaping the form — referring to the old formal model and filling it with a modern sound language, Glass referred to the idiom of the neoclassical sonata.
