EN
The subject of the present paper is transgression as an essential feature of nature and human existence. The first part presents approaches to the wonder of transgression from the perspective of various standpoints worked out on grounds of humanistic thought. The subsequent parts of the paper refer to the system of theorems developing assumptions of the concept of transgressive man, and present various dimensions of transgressive activities by which human beings express the subjectivity of their participation in culture.

The senior author model of the Style of Creative Behavior (SCB) together with his models of the Styles of the Problem Solving (SPS) and the model of Analogy thinking (AT), Kolanczyk's model of Intuition-Rationality (I-R) , and Nosal-Jung model of the Types of the Mind (TM) were used to explain effective management under systems transformation in Poland. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and the discriminant analysis were used to test differences between two groups of subjects: efficient (N=30) and less efficient managers. The discriminant analysis carried out for 17 variables taken from the above models gave 89% of correct classifications (canonical correlation is equal 0,798). The highest discriminate weights in the equation were: 'Global-subjective' type of the mind (TM), 'Rationality' (I-R), 'Strong ego' (SCB), and 'Transgression' and 'Intuition' (SPS). The article ends with the discussion of personality and cognitive determinants of the success of effective management under systems transformation in Poland.

The sketch concerns two novels dated 1998. Andrzej Falkiewicz's novel 'Ledwie mrok' proves to be interesting in terms of its aesthetics and problems, whilst being a somewhat late-date recapitulation of experiences of modern prose. The author outlines a transgressive project of expressing those aspects of corporeality which are hardly graspable in the language, whilst at the same time gathering arguments testifying to a utopian nature of any such project. In turn, Adam Ubertowski, a representative of a much younger generation of authors, uses in his 'Szkice do obrazu batalistycznego', in a pastiche mode, certain cultural and literary matrices (well-established models of manliness, initiation pattern, etc.) along with elements of a modern literary code, to place a 'simulac' - i.e. intimacy seen in terms of a copy of one's self, relating to repetition; an intimacy that is multiplied and reproduced as a narrative phantasm - precisely where modernism situated the individual's source experience.

The main purpose of the article is an attempt to demonstrate that spirituality can become one of the more important terms defining culture. We indicate that the so-called new spirituality is a useful term explaining many phenomena in modern culture. We present various contexts and uses of both lexemes, both in the humanities and in social sciences, as well as in non-religious and non-academic contexts. In our approach spirituality is a term of universal and suprareligious nature. It defines human striving for transgression — in and outside religion — both in the social and in the individual dimension, striving in the name of values considered by an individual as higher, positive, good. New spirituality is defined here as related to today’s mediatised and technicised Western culture. It is strongly individual and does not require any institution as its environment. It denotes an area of human life where human beings concentrate on working on their consciousness in cooperation with their corporeality.

This article deals with the theme of eroticism in the poetry of Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki. Eroticism is regarded here as a special category of inner experience, one of the subject's modes of existence. According to Georges Bataille it is connected with transgression, loss of 'I' and melancholy. Viewed from the religious perspective, which is important for Tkaczyszyn-Dycki, it is situated in the zone of uncleanliness. Consequently, eroticism appears to be a form of profound and radical bodily experience which cannot be separated from the desire for sublimation in the poetic sphere or, even less so, the desire for the subject's purified 'I', cleansed by poetry and thus reaching out towards the metaphysical horizon.

These remarks aim at showing the intellectual supremacy of an outstanding individual over those mediocre. Transgression is understood as a form of passage, of the change of an artist who negates the current world order and desires to lay the foundations for new reality, seen by a mad genius – Friedrich Nietzsche, whom I often recall. His concept of “Overman” is identical with concept of a genius creator, of outstanding individual who is not understood by common people and who with his creative imagination outgrows his own epoch.

The article deals with a vision of Ukraine as a meta-space of adventure that has been very popular among Polish writers and artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, the authoresses argue that it is not only, or not primarily, the 'adventure' which is at stake in those widespread literary pictures of Polish knights and noblemen riding horses and winning battles against the 'wild' Cossacks and Tatars but that to a much greater extent they concern the ideological, national or cultural dimensions of such plots. In order to prove this thesis, they analyse two texts: the first, 'With Fire and Sword' (1884) by Henryk Sienkiewicz, belongs to the Polish literary canon and deals with the Ukraine as a political order, a challenge, a phantasm, and a strictly political 'problem', while the other is a short story little known although deserving attention - 'Honeymoon in Ukraine' by Eugeniusz Malaczewski (1921). The latter is directly connected with Sienkiewicz's work for it uses and reverses the scheme of 'the Beauty and the Beast'. The heroine's name is the same as that of Sienkiewicz's ambiguous 'witch' - Horpyna, and furthermore, its style continues in the tradition of the 'noble tall story'. In relation to feminism, psychoanalysis, gender studies, and post-colonial criticism, the authoresses demonstrate the grounds of such constructions as the Ukrainian 'anti-family', native female 'witches', the subversive social order remaining on the one hand the negative idea of 'anarchy' as well as a sabbath (i.e. the confusion of gender roles in Sienkiewicz's novel and the presentation of the year 1918 as a 'feminine' political, sexual, and simultaneously ethnic revolution by Malaczewski), and on the other hand, of the primordial nature-friendly and pre-industrial 'matriarchy'. These questions coexist with the omnipresent, superficially 'innocent' and mostly amusing motif of masquerade which allows to look at the Ukrainian landscape in terms of a transgressive and transgression-generating space: the one liberating, luring, encouraging to cross the sexual and gender boundaries imposed on a person in their own (Polish, West European, Latin) culture. The paper is an attempt to re-read and re-interpret Polish 'colonising' tendencies that have for a long time found their expression not only in political and economic actions taken in the so-called Eastern Borderlands, but also, or above all, in our collective imagination where they still seem to be firmly rooted for emotional reasons.

The article focuses on the relationship between philosophy and literature, referring to a special approach to this relation which can be found in the early works of Michel Foucault (from 1962 to 1970). Foucault later uses the terms „transgression“ (Georges Bataille) and „the outside“ (Maurice Blanchot), to describe a language without its subject, i.e. to show the Being of language, which in respect to the valid discourse exists autonomously. Foucault’s concept of author starts with functions, which an author has in relation to the discourse, then adds the concept of „founders of discoursivity “. The crucial part in this article describes Foucalt’s own position as a founder of discoursivity. Foucault tried to create a subject using conditions of that subject’s existence. In his book on Raymond Roussel, he shows language as a labyrinth which can generate meanings of words spontaneously. The article concludes with a suggestion that it is possible to redefine Foucault’s concept of literary experience.

In her paper the author undertakes to analyze one of John Paul II’s statements pertaining to literature and culture. This is a letter prepared and submitted on the occasion of a death anniversary of Jan Kochanowski (aka John of Czarnolas) (1530–1584). Since the beginning of his pontificate, John Paul II – by means of references to literature – would indicate what was valuable, common, essential for his compatriots. Therefore it can be assumed that his words have acquired a culture-creative dimension. The sociological and literary dimension of the message is definitely worth appreciation. The pope would address his words to anyone and everyone. The author defines and analyses the pope’s utterance as transgressive. Also in its structure the Pope’s utterance is transgressive, comprising a variety of different forms which are adroitly linked owing to the open mind of the sender who is a sender knowing that verba volant, scripta manent.
