Gothicism is probably this part of the romantic and pre-romantic tradition which is most strongly present in contemporary pop-culture. It is an exceedingly lively phenomenon, not only discussed by specialists – historians of literature – but constantly consumed as part of subsequent literary, film, music or computer games, the recipients of which are sometimes even unaware of the 19th-century origin of their favorite works. Due to its cross-border nature, however, Gothicism is sometimes neglected in the history of literature education of Polish philologists. The purpose of this article is to present a class proposal, the implementation of which could be a step towards filling this gap in didactics. It is based on a juxtaposition of several older texts (by Zygmunt Krasiński, Roman Zmorski, Anna Mostowska) and a contemporary novel by Jakub Żulczyk (Insytut [The Institute]). The aim of the class is to show that Gothicism can work as an ahistorical code serving e.g., to talk about oppression.

Gotycyzm jest prawdopodobnie tą częścią tradycji romantycznej oraz preromantycznej, która w najsilniejszy sposób spośród wszystkich innych obecna jest we współczesnej (pop)kulturze. Jest zjawiskiem niezwykle żywym, nie tylko dyskutowanym przez specjalistów – historyków literatury – ale nieustannie konsumowanym w ramach kolejnych pozycji literackich, filmowych, muzycznych czy grach komputerowych, których odbiorcy bywają nawet nieświadomi XIX-wiecznego rodowodu ulubionych dzieł. Z powodu swojego granicznego charakteru gotycyzm bywa jednak zaniedbywany w kształceniu historycznoliterackim polonistów. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie propozycji zajęciowej, której realizacja mogłaby stanowić krok na drodze ku wypełnieniu tej luki w dydaktyce. Opiera się ona na zestawieniu kilku tekstów dawniejszych (Zygmunta Krasińskiego, Romana Zmorskiego, Anny Mostowskiej) oraz współczesnej powieści Jakuba Żulczyka (Instytut). Celem zajęć jest pokazanie, iż gotycyzm może funkcjonować jako ahistoryczny kod służący m.in. do mówienia o opresji.

The article analyzes and interprets a very important poem by Zbigniew Herbert – Mama from Struna światła (1956). While the work seems to deal with the poet’s personal experience, it can also be read as the universal human immersion in intimacy and separation. The very subtitle of the poem conveys its main assumption. Herbert depicts the relationship with mother as a specific conflict of expectations, in which love possesses and appropriates. The true affection requires approval for independence; unity – paradoxically – requires approval for otherness.

The main purpose of this article is to determine the roots of the extreme music genre black metal. The author notices links to the artistic anthropology of Roman ticism and the reception of nature characteristic of that time. Considering the first problem, he draws attention to the relationship between the lyrical message of black metal songs and political life, as well as to the realization of the romantic-modernist figure of the artist-madman and the tormented artist who also has mediumistic features. An important element of this image is transgressive Satanism. The second group of problems is connected with the romantic attitude toward nature that is observed in black metal music. Nature there becomes a space to escape from the modern, technocratic, neoliberal world and offers a chance to consolidate an indi vidual’s identity. Much attention is paid to the relationship between the American black metal scene and poets considered to be the precursors of ecocriticism; atten tion is also drawn to the resentment-based return of nationalizing black metal to a rustic past.

In its title, this article indicates two purposes. The first is to attempt to give a precise description of the category of the concept album, whose specificity (also in the opinion of foreign researchers) is usually described in a blurred, intuitive and rather imprecise way. This attempt is made through reference to the literary side of this kind of album. Based on these reflections, the author also attempts to create a typology of concept albums, which constitutes a fluent transition to the second purpose of the article, namely to propose (in terms of this field of knowledge, which we call linguistics of text and discourse) a method for analysing the coherence mechanisms seen in lyrics of this sort of album. Although it is not a theory in the strict sense, the author’s intention was to lend it a practical usability: it is an operation whose purpose is to support the interpretation of concept albums.

Among the many research fields, in terms of which heavy metal (counter)culture (more precisely, in this case, black metal) can be studied, the history of literature has a prominent place. The separation of the lyrics of the song from its musical layer makes it a poem which can be interpreted in various keys. As a result, it can also be established in various literary traditions. In opinion of the author – expressed also in other publications – black metal poetry has a romantic character for many reasons. In this article, literary studies combine with anthropological considerations. There is a specific concept of man that emerges from the interpretation of the lyrics, which makes us consider black metal musicians as “late grandchildren” of Romanticism, and black metal itself – as another incarnation of this movement in the history of culture. It turns out, that the most represented anthropological attitude which occurs in contemporary works of this genre is Romantic melancholy, the various manifestations of which are traced in each lyric.
