This article explores the potential offered by complexity theories for understanding language learners’ sense of self and attempts to show how the self might usefully be conceived of as a complex dynamic system. Rather than presenting empirical findings, the article discusses existent research on the self and aims at outlining a conceptual perspective that may inform future studies into the self and possibly other individual learner differences. The article concludes by critically considering the merits of a complexity perspective but also reflecting on the challenges it poses for research.

Memory plays an important role in most of Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare delves into the dark realms of human consciousness to reflect the disturbed minds and gnawing consciences of his characters with a profound psychological insight into the human psyche. Time, memory, madness and death seem to be the basic issues dealt with in his canon. My paper will address the uncontrollable mnemonic fragments within the human consciousness which reflect past traumas, fears and disturbances and will examine the cases of Ophelia and Lady Macbeth from a feminist reading of women.

Do emotional abilities relate to specifi c strategies of emotion regulation? Do people with higher emotional intelligence (EI) use more effi cient affect regulation strategies? In the current study we tried to answer these questions. Using a sample of 349 undergraduate students, the present study explored the relationships between emotional intelligence (assessed with performance measure) and the habitual use of suppression and reappraisal. Results showed that higher emotional intelligence was related to more frequent use of reappraisal, and less frequent employment of suppression. As in the previous studies, males and females signifi cantly differed in suppression: men suppressed more than women. However, our results revealed that this difference could be attributed only to men with low EI. Emotionally unintelligent men used suppression more frequently not only in comparison to women, but also to men with higher EI. With respect to the habitual use of reappraisal, only men disclosed a signifi cant relation to EI level: those male participants who revealed the highest EI level declared employment of reappraisal more frequently than other groups.

Most current idiom processing models acknowledge, after Gernsbacher and Robertson (1999) that deriving an idiomatic meaning entails suppression of contextually inappropriate, literal meanings of idiom constituent words. While embedding idioms in the rich disambiguating context can promote earlier suppression of incompatible literal meanings, idioms embedded in the neutral context, favoring neither their literal nor figurative reading, are likely to become disambiguated much later in the course of their comprehension. The study reported in this paper investigates the role of context in suppressing irrelevant, literal meanings of idioms in the course of their processing by Polish proficient speakers of English. Ambiguous (literally plausible) English idioms were embedded in sentences which were either neutral (i.e., did not bias either the literal or figurative reading of the idiom, e.g., There was no need to add fuel to the fire) or figurative-biased (e.g., The chairman is in a bad mood so do not say anything, as this will only add fuel to the fire) and followed by targets related literally (e.g., HEAT) or figuratively (e.g., WORSE) to idiom meanings and displayed either immediately at idiom offset (0 ms) or after 300 ms. The self-paced reading paradigm was employed, in which participants first read the idiomatic sentences at their own pace and then made a lexical decision, i.e., decided if the displayed target string is a legitimate English word or not. Context was shown to play an important role in suppressing irrelevant meanings, but its effects were modulated by salience (prominence) of idioms’ literal meanings as well as the time that elapsed from the end of the sentence to the display of the target stimulus.

Mazur Daria, Między stłumieniem a autentycznością. Metafora Don Carlosa w filmie Leontine Sagan Dziewczęta w mundurkach [Between Suppression and Authenticity. The Metaphor of Don Carlos in Leontine Sagan’s Movie Mädchen in Uniform]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 143–166. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.7. The article is a comprehensive analysis of the intertextual references to Frederick Schiller’s tragedy Don Carlos in Leontine Sagan’s movie Girls in Uniform (Mädchen in Uniform, 1931). The author considers the complex circumstances of the cooperation between the director and the artistic director, Carl Froelich, during the production. Moreover, she also presents the literary basis for the movie, namely the tragedy by Christy Winsloe (Gestern und Heute – Yesterday and Today).On this basis, the author analyses the multilevel presence of two phenomena in the movie: suppression and authenticity, which are related to the metaphor of Don Carlos and the plot of love between two women. The contexts for the analysis are inspired by research in the anthropology of romanticism, psychoanalysis, the psychology of sexual identity, and research on the works of Frederick Schiller.

Haunting in literary fiction is often interpreted psychologically as a sign of suppressed psychic content or as nostalgia or mourning for the loss. Yet, it may also be used allegorically as a manifestation of hidden social conflicts, and hence mark a political agenda of thus constructed works. In the novels by Sarah Waters spectres, poltergeists and haunting appear not as a sign of or a contact with an outer reality; to the contrary, they may be seen as perfectly human-though eccentric-expressions of class and economic inferiority. In Affinity spectres and spiritual séances are presented as a means of earning money by lower classes and the latter’s cunning use of the upper classes’ credulity. In The Little Stranger the poltergeist may be interpreted as an accumulated anger and desire of the servants long ignored by the masters of the emblematic country house. In both, haunting and ghosts manifest vengeance of the underprivileged taken on the socially superior. The essay shows how fictional haunting and spectrality, far from marking a supernatural reality or introducing extrasensory concepts, may function as an allegorical method to discuss political and social problems such as class inequality or social justice.

The present study examined the effect of negative emotional stimulus intensity (low versus high) on the choice of emotion regulation (ER) strategy when a person wants to control their emotional expression, and the impact of this choice on how the information accompanying emotional stimuli is remembered. The effects of emotional stimulus intensity on the choice of ER strategy were examined in two studies. In both studies, the participants (unaware of the differences in the intensity of stimuli) were asked to view images inducing negative emotions of high and low intensity and to choose which strategy (cognitive reappraisal or expressive suppression) they would use in order to control their emotional expression. In addition, in Study 2, the authors tested the memory of the verbal content accompanying the emotional stimuli that appeared during the ER period. As expected, the participants chose reappraisal over suppression when confronted with low-intensity stimuli. In contrast, when confronted with high-intensity stimuli, they chose suppression over reappraisal. The results of Study 2 revealed that memory accuracy was higher for those images that the participants chose to use reappraisal rather than suppression.

Celem dwuetapowego badania było sprawdzenie: (1) związków pomiędzy orientacją na działanie a stosowaniem dwóch strategii regulacji emocji: poznawczego przeformułowania i tłumienia; (2) związku orientacji na działanie z tonem hedonistycznym po konfrontacji z bodźcem wzbudzającym negatywny stan emocjonalny. Ponadto w drugim etapie badania uwzględniono dodatkową zmienną moderującą: eksperymentalne wzbudzenie strategii regulacji emocji tłumienia vs. przeformułowania. Do pomiaru badanych zmiennych w grupie studentów (kobiet i mężczyzn) użyto Kwestionariusza regulacji emocji Grossa i Johna, Skali kontroli działania Kuhla oraz Przymiotnikowej skali nastroju Matthewsa Jonesa i Chamberlaina. Otrzymane wyniki wskazują, że orientacja na działanie koreluje pozytywnie ze skłonnością do stosowania poznawczego przeformułowania. Ponadto, w sytuacji wymagającej regulacji emocji (wzbudzającej stan negatywny), orientacja na działanie okazała się pozytywnym predyktorem tonu hedonistycznego. Zmienna ta nie była jednak istotnie związana z tonem hedonistycznym, gdy respondenci zostali poproszeni o stosowanie strategii tłumienia.

The aim of our 2-stage study was to test: 1) the relationships between action orientation and two emotion regulation strategies: reappraisal and suppression, 2) the relationship between action orientation and hedonic tone after negative emotional state induction. In a second stage of the study there was an additional moderating variable: experimental activation of either reappraisal or suppression. To measure the variables in a group of students (men and women), we used the Polish versions of Gross and John’s Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Kuhl’s Action Control Scale, and Matthews, Jones and Chamberlain’s Mood Adjective Checklist. The results indicate that action orientation is positively related to habitual use of reappraisal. Moreover, in a situation requiring emotion regulation (eliciting a negative state), action orientation turned out to be a positive predictor of hedonic tone. Further analysis, however, indicated that action orientation was not significantly related to hedonic tone when participants were instructed to suppress.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie związków pomiędzy strategią regulacji emocji i inklinacją autonarracyjną, a efektywnością zawodową, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wyników przeprowadzonego badania korelacyjnego. Badaniem objęci zostali konsultanci call center, których zadania zawodowe wymagają sprawnego radzenia sobie z sytuacjami emocjonalnie trudnymi. Uzyskane wyniki pozwalają przypuszczać, że tłumienie emocji wpływa negatywnie na poziom wykonywanych zadań.

En se fondant sur le registre des carmes de Kamieniec Podolski, établi par Samuel Czepacz, père provincial de la province lituanienne, l'auteur présente l'effectif de la communauté de cannes de la maison conventuelle lors de sa suppression par le pouvoir occupant russe. Le manuscrit dont il se sert se montre d'autant plus impmiant qu'il fournit des informations capitales concernant les cannes de Kamieniec Podolski, notamment leur provenance (le lieu de naissance), le milieu social, l'âge, leur formation, et la description de la vie monastique avec des blâmes et des peines. Ce document nous apporte également un ce1iain nombre d'informations sur d'autres communautés de carmes en Podolie, en Volhynie, sur les territoires biélorusses et lettono-lituaniens. Vu de graves dommages subis par les archives aux anciens confins de la Pologne, ces informations sont particuliérement importantes pour l'étude historique de cet Ordre.
