Biographers of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, characterizing her features of personality, underline her pragmatism, consequence in action and logical mind. Her studies in the fields of mathematics, physics and chemistry developed these features of personality and, at the same time, paved her way to achievements on the world’s scale.

This article aims to present the intellectual work of a prominent Karaite scholar, Solomon ben Aaron’s (of Poswol, Wilna and Troki), who was a man of great knowledge and extensive reading, including rabbinic literature. He was born in Poswol before 1665, and died in Troki in 1745 at an age exceeding 80 years. Solomon was the author of many religious writings and polemical tracts about Karaite practices and customs, such as ʾAppiryon ʿaśa lo, Migdal ʿoz, Raḵ wa-ṭoḇ, Ḥanoḵ lan-na᷾ar and Laḥem šeʿarim (known as Leḥem śeʿorim). He also wrote poems. Solomon b. Aaron was head of a Karaite Bet-Din (in Wilna), as well as a religious head of the Lithuanian Karaites. Of his private life hardly anything is known. Due to lack of data one cannot give a full picture of his life; the article thus compiles information gathered from various Hebrew texts. Alongside Karaite literature, the article employs recent findings into Karaism to verify information within the Karaite texts.

The increasing number of migrations is the main quality of modern society. Formerly, migration was a single action of leaving one’s country of origin, aimed at settling in a new place. Nowadays, migration should be described as a mobility that is a repeated change of the country of residence and a temporary stay in a new place. The status of mobility has a huge influence on modifying personal identity through the experience of life in different cultures. The article indicates the reasons for educational mobility and its consequences for personal biography. The change of self-definitions influences the further personal process of life.

The biography became a controversial book before it even began to appear in bookshops. The review, thus, discusses not only its content, composition and inconsistencies but also potential reasons for the negative response of the protagonist and some of his family. As it turns out, Katarzyna Kubisiowska’s book arouses controversies for several reasons: firstly, it seems to be written mainly to meet the market needs, and secondly, it concerns a person who is close to the author. Above all, however, the book shows the protagonist in a bed light without giving him an opportunity to speak for himself, which is even more poignant in the case of a writer who hides behind the masks of literature.

The article addresses the texts of laments, biographies of lamenters, and the context of customs related to lamenting. The analysed biographies and songs of lamentation were gathered between 2000 and 2013 (Ermakov 2011; 2014: 16–24) and represent the traditions of Ardatovo district of the Republic of Mordovia. The Mordvins are a Finno-Ugric people living in Russia, who have a republic of their own within the Russian Federation (26,200 km2), with Saransk as its capital. The respondents were born in the late 1920s and early 1930s. For the sake of comparison, representatives of a younger generation born between 1964 and 1980 were also interviewed. All of them live in the countryside. The biographies of lamenters and texts of songs of lamentation provide an overview of the cultural and historical environment of the period. Among other things, the article presents observations on religious taboos concerned with the recording of these songs. Lamenters in their immediate environment are also described. The article aims to discuss lamenting, songs of lamentation, and the living environment of lamenters, focusing on the biographical aspects contained in these songs. As a song of lamentation is a traditional form of expressing sorrow and mourning, it is a genre with poetically quite well-developed representation language. At the same time, a song of lamentation is linked to the person’s stages of life and is always personalized, which justifies viewing the tradition of lamenting from the biographical perspective. The first part of the article introduces the material for analysis, recorded during field studies, and provides an overview of Mordvin, particularly Erzya lamenting tradition. The second part of the article describes lamenters through their biographies told by themselves, and stories recorded during field studies, and analyses the artistic language of the songs of lamentation, highlighting the connection of the poetics developed over centuries (i.e. the collective common language) with historical and personal specifics. The article concludes with an overview of a present-day performance of songs of lamentation, which, in its turn, can be interpreted as the life story of the lamenting tradition. Only few diaries, letters, and other documents about lamenters or those who know traditions have been preserved in Mordovia. Due to the scarcity of sources, biographical research as well as autobiographical stories have been somewhat overlooked so far. However, it is through biographical research that we can see the reflection of society’s life: developments, changes, accepting one’s fate, making compromises, etc. Field studies proved to be irreplaceable for the preservation of such material.

Transcultural Experience and Multiple Biographies as a Research TopicTransculturality refers to the traditional understanding of culture as self-contained, concentrated around its own center and producing clear borders. “Trans” signifies the act of crossing; it signifies overcoming such borders. It looks at phenomena, people, and notions that are not limited to one communicational environment, but are represented in multiple locations, or contexts. Or rather-they cannot be fully ascribed to one “culture,” because they exhibit, traits of both (or more) cultures. Culture studies often describe, also, people with “trans” life stories; it is not a matter of simple crossing of borders, living a bit in one environment and a bit in another. The point is that their sense of belonging is of a mixed, ambiguous character, and their identity is blurred. It is a question of practices that they draw from two or more sources, creating a peculiar amalgam characteristic of living “in between.” Transculturality, just like multiple biographies, means both partial belonging and dual belonging, which is very well illustrated by the case studies presented in the volume: they have in a way, varied roots, which means they bear unique, hybrid fruit. Doświadczenie transkulturowe i biografie wielorakie jako temat badawczyTranskulturowość odnosi się do tradycyjnego pojmowania kultury jako samowystarczalnej, skoncentrowanej na sobie i wytwarzającej wyraźne granice. Przyrostek „trans” oznacza akt przekraczania tak wytyczonych granic. Kategoria transkulturowości skłania do patrzenia na zjawiska, biografie i pojęcia jako coś, co nie ogranicza się do jednego środowiska komunikacyjnego, lecz występuje bądź przejawia się w wielu miejscach i kontekstach. Można też powiedzieć, że nie można ich przypisać do jednej „kultury”, ponieważ reprezentują cechy dwóch (lub więcej) wspólnot kulturowych. Studia kulturowe często zajmują się osobami, czyje historie życia mają taki właśnie charakter „trans-graniczny” charakter. Nie chodzi przy tym jedynie o proste przejście granic, życie trochę w jednym, a trochę w drugim środowisku. Istotne jest to, że poczucie przynależności staje się niejasne lub wielorakie. Pojawia się na przykład kwestia praktyk związanych z dwoma lub więcej źródłami wzorców, co tworzy specyficzny amalgamat życia „pomiędzy”. Transkulturowość, podobnie jak biografie wielorakie, oznacza zarówno częściową, jak i zróżnicowaną identyfikację, którą świetnie ilustrują studia przypadków przedstawione w trzecim numerze „Colloquia Humanistica”; można by rzec, iż mają one różnorodne korzenie, przez co rodzą wyjątkowe, hybrydyczne owoce.

‘That Feckless Bohemomastix’: The Life and Work of Melchior Goldast of Haiminsfeld

For a long time after White Mountain, Baroque scholars, including Bohuslav Balbín, levelled arguments in their writings against the theories of the German humanist Melchior Goldast of Haiminsfeld, who lived at the turn of the 17th century. In 1619, the emperor ordered him – probably through the intermediary of the president of the Aulic Council, Johann Georg of Hohenzollern – to carry out a legal analysis of the heredity nature of the Bohemian and Hungarian kingdom. The request was repeated following the Battle of White Mountain and the thesis of the hereditary nance of the Bohemians to the Empire, he became increasingly more vexing to the Habsburgs themselves, who, following the Peace of Westphalia, had gone down a path toward building the Habsburg monarchy which did not include the territories of the Holy Roman Empire. This fact manifested itself vividly in 1711 during a dispute concerning the imperial vicarage over the Czech Lands; attempts to revise the Renewed Constitution brought on another wave of disfavour against Goldast. Goldast’s theories were reinterpreted by German nationalists in the 19th century, when they served as ammunition in a struggle quite different from that in which they arose. succession in both the male and female lines of the Habsburg dynasty was subsequently included in the extensive frescos of Bohemian history titled De Bohemiae Regni … juribus ac privilegiis, which first saw print the year the Renewed Constitution was published; it may thus be taken to be its theoretical counterpart or perhaps its legitimation as well. Although Goldast was to become quite a controversial figure, he was then a leading expert on imperial legal documents (he had worked on editions of such documents all his life); he developed a model of Bohemian history in which the relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and the neighbouring, vassal state of the Bohemians was fraught with incessant revolts on the part of the weaker partner against the empire. At the same time, he elaborated the idea that the first peoples of Central Europe were Marobuduus’ Marcomanni, which underscored even further the appurtenance of Bohemian kingdom to the Holy Roman Empire. For there was a long tradition of Germanic law in both lands: Goldast was thus concerned with the Bohemians’ legal appurtenance, not their ethnic or linguistic appurtenance. He also defined the Empire itself in a similar manner; law was a binding element which could even overcome religious differences. Goldast – a Swiss Calvinist working for both the Lutheran Saxons and the Catholic emperor – was fully persuaded of this view, even though it led him into numerous conflicts. Nonetheless, thanks to his theory of the appurtenance of the Bohemians to the Empire, he became increasingly more vexing to the Habsburgs themselves, who, following the Peace of Westphalia, had gone down a path toward building the Habsburg monarchy which did not include the territories of the Holy Roman Empire. This fact manifested itself vividly in 1711 during a dispute concerning the imperial vicarage over the Czech Lands; attempts to revise the Renewed Constitution brought on another wave of disfavour against Goldast. Goldast’s theories were reinterpreted by German nationalists in the 19th century, when they served as ammunition in a struggle quite different from that in which they arose.

The article discusses Polish borderlands as a creative phenomenon. It considers their cultural and historical importance and the research that has been conducted from 1940 till today. The author uses the term „borderland“ (pogranicze) as defined by T. Bujnicki (Mechanizmy funkcjowania pogranicza kulturowego, 2006). The author explains how borderlands create important cultural situations, significant phenomena and she also proves the borderland character of Polish culture (C. Miłosz, Polskie kontrasty, 1995; Rodzinna Europa,2001; S. Bereś, Historia literatury polskiej w rozmowach, 2002). The effects of such creativity can be observed in the history and the geography of literature as well as in the biographies of artists and the problem of their identity. These effects are found in the following issues: the role of borderland as a concept in the history of literature (regarding borderland as a „centre” in the period of Romanticism, „borderland” trend in literature); process of crossing the borders and conquering the world (exemplary biographies of the artists who come from the borderland areas); the effect of „repeated biography” MiłoszMickiewicz; the effects of literary selfcreation.

Anzelm Anton Pilarek came from a Polish Silesian family living in Laurahütte near Katowice. As a young boy, he fled to Poland in 1919, where he participated in the Polish-Bolshevik war. Released from the army, he returned to the German Silesia and engaged in various jobs on the edge of the law. In 1936, he was arrested for having insulted Reich Minister Göbbels and sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment. He was not released, as he was sent as a criminal prisoner to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Exercising the function of vorarbeiter and untercapo in the ‘wooden yard’ of the DAW kommando, he committed numerous crimes against his fellow inmates, whom he beat, tortured and killed. He inspired fear among prisoners and had the reputation of a sadist. In 1944 he was compulsorily conscripted into the Dirlewanger Brigade, but he escaped during his transport to Minsk. After the war, Anzelm Pilarek was captured by the British and deported to Poland. Witnesses’ confessions during the investigation and trials irrefutably proved his guilt and on 18 June 1949 he was sentenced to death by the Regional Court in Wadowice. His execution took place in the Wadowice prison.

jciec Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego (1838–1918), Polak pochodzenia kaszubskiego, pełniący w Lecu (Giżycku) obowiązki żandarma, nigdy nie wyparł się swojej polskości. Natomiast matka Wojciecha była rodowitą Niemką i naturalną koleją rzeczy ona miała większy wpływ na wychowanie dziecka. Jednak Wojciech mówił dwoma językami: niemieckim i gwarą mazurską. Literatura naukowa przez długie dziesięciolecia powtarzała, że pod wpływem domu oraz w czasie lat szkolnych spędzonych w Lecu, później w Poczdamie i Rastemborku (Kętrzynie) uległ on całkowitej germanizacji. Dopiero mając 18 lat (1856), dowiedziawszy się z listu siostry, że ojciec był Polakiem, on też podjął decyzję (Entschluss), o przynależności do narodu polskiego. Tymczasem według moich badań proces dochodzenia do świadomości narodowej trwał dość długo. Po pierwsze nigdy nie zapomniał on o polskim rodowodzie ojca, nawet w Poczdamie. Natomiast w Rastemborku zaczytywał się w polskiej literaturze historycznej i to pod jej wpływem postanowił otwarcie przyznać się w 1856 roku do polskości. Zresztą tomik jego młodzieńczej poezji Aus dem Liederbuch eines Germanisierten („Ze śpiewnika pewnego zniemczonego”) potwierdza, że był niemczony. Powolny proces dochodzenia do polskości potwierdzają jego bliscy znajomi, np. lwowski historyk Władysław Semkowicz

PL

As with most film subjects, the way Chopin has been presented in the cinema has been the result of a particular poetic (depending on the genre) and cultural context. The author classifies cinematographic Chopinalia on the basis of the former determinant, although without neglecting entirely, in some sections of the text, to treat film as a text of culture. The clear majority of documentary and educational films about Chopin have been made in Poland (as a form of promotion for the country, which does not boast too many icons of world culture). For both aesthetic and cultural reasons, the boundary between documentary and educational film has become blurred. Historical documentaries have used the same iconographic material, film shots and utterances, and also - for the purposes of musical illustration - the same Chopinworks as educational films. Cultural considerations have affected the thematic restrictions in respect to silver screen discourse about Chopin: in both genres, it reflects a rather stereotypical approach to the composer’s life story, with no room for the “Chopin mysteries” (e.g. his fascination with Tytus Woyciechowski) that have long been addressed in the literature. In experimental and animated film, the accent has been shifted - in keeping with the essence of those genres - from Chopin’s biography to his music. Nevertheless, here too the pressure of cultural (national) context has determined the choice of film material accompanying particular works. At the same time, experimental films have become anti-war or political films (as in the case of Eugeniusz C^kalski’s Utwory Chopina w kolorze [Chopin’s works in colour], from 1944 or Andrzej Panufnik’s Bailada f moll [Ballade in F minor], from 1945), whilst the presentation of Chopin’s music in animated films has been full of iconographic clichés and pleonasms (a Mazovian landscape with cleft willows, carriages speeding along in the background, dancing ballerinas, falling leaves and so on), creating a schematic visual code that is automatically associated with the compositions of the brilliant Pole. By way of contrast, it is worth emphasising that a few foreign experimental films (Max Ophiils’s La Valse Brillante de Chopin, Germaine Dulac’s Dysk 927) have illustrated Chopin’s music with images of “universal” objects (piano, gramophone, rain) associated more with music than with feelings, and not with Poland. The dozen or so feature films about Chopin have mainly belonged to popular cinema. For that reason, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the film-makers have turned to biographical facts which possess a suitable dramatic potential. Feature films about Chopin have treated history as a background - a costume in which to dress a tale about universal cultural myths: the myth of love (the relationship with George Sand, which has dominated Chopin films), the pseudo-Romantic myth of the great artist and the patriot myth (prime examples being Charles Vidor’s A Song to Remember and Jerzy Antczak’s Chopin. Pragnienie miłości [Chopin. Desire for love]). Some films - albeit few in number - have adopted a different strategy. One such picture attempted to exploit Chopin’s life story to exemplify Marxist historiosophy and a socialist- realist poetic (Aleksander Ford’s Młodość Chopina [Chopin’s youth]); another- Andrzej Żulawski’s Błękitna nuta [La note bleue] - is a truly original picture about the composer and, like almost every original film, tells us as much about the director as about Chopin himself.

The history of major Alexander Iwanski is associated with Tarnow and its neighbourhood for almost 150 years. First documented sign of his family, left in the birth certificate books, occurred in the Matrimony Register in 1805 and it was connected with Jan Kanty Iwanski and Franciszka Loszowska's wedding. The oldest son of this marriage Jan Kanty Junior and the grandson Franciszek Ksawery were on duty for many years as forest rangers. The first of them was a ranger in Jastrzabka Nowa near Zasow and the second one in Leki Gorne below Tarnow. Alexander Iwanski was born in 1892 in Dabie (near Mielec). His parents were Jan Tadeusz (the son of Franciszek Iwanski) a teacher in Tarnow and Rozalia from the Jaklinski family. After graduating from the Junior High School in Tarnow and beginning legal studies at Jagiellonian University in Cracow in 1914, Alexander Iwanski was conscripted to Austrian army. He served military service in the 56th Austrian infantry regiment fighting on a Russian, Romanian and Italian front. He also trained the soldiers in a reserve reeve in Kielce. Alexander Iwanski took part in gorlicka campaign in which the 56th Austrian infantry regiment fought for the Pustka Hill. At the end of May 1915, near Krakowiec, Alexander was seriously hurt in head and stayed in hospital in Vienna. For his military service and bravery he was honoured with Austrian distinctions: the Great Silver Bravery Order of the First Class and the Charles Military Cross. In 1918 he was on the Italian front as an officer and took part in the creation of the 12th Infantry Regiment of Wadowice. After returning with his army to Wadowice he was appointed to be the first aide-de-camp in the headquarters district Wadowice. After marrying Zofia Waligorska – the daughter of Franciszek Waligorski (retired post office cashier) his later duty was connected with the commissary. Zofia and Alexander Iwanscy had four children: Krystyna, Adam, Danuta and Andrzej. In the years 1919-1939 Alexander Iwanski took active part in the military service of the Officers Corps Commissary in Brzesc by the river Bug, in Grodno, Lodz, Warsaw, Bialystok, Katowice and Kielce. He had directional functions in all of the commissary divisions. After finishing the Commissary High School in 1925 in Warsaw, he had the military service in Lwow for six years. His brother Franciszek often visited him at that time. Franciszek was a pilot-observant and served in the 6th air regiment in Sknilowo near Lwow. For the last four years before the World War II Alexander Iwanski was the Director of the Receiving Group with the degree of the Major Commissary. His family spent a lot of months and sometimes even years with his grandparents Waligorscy in Wadowice. In 1937 the Iwanski family moved to Wadowice forever and their children Danuta and Adam continued learning in the local schools. After the broke out of the World War II and the evacuation to the West, major Alexander Iwanski served military service in France and in England (Scotland). In 1946 he returned home to his family. He died on 11th June 1965 in Krosno.

Piła jest miastem rodzinnym wielu znamienitych Polaków. Biografia najbardziej szacownego księdza z tego miasta Stanisława Staszica jest dobrze znana. Pantaleon Wawrzyniec Szuman — sławny prawnik i społecznik, oraz Antoni Kiszewski, pedagog, są także bardzo często wymieniani. Doktorowi Arnoldowi Drygasowi nie poświęcono tak wiele uwagi. Urodził się w Pile w 1876 roku. Jego życie pełne było tragicznych wydarzeń. Jego ojciec Antoni był nauczycielem w liceum oraz założycielem Polskiego Stowarzyszenia Przemysłowego. Zakres jego działalności obejmował kulturę, edukację i pracę na rzecz ojczyzny. Arnold Drygas studiował medycynę w Monachium, Giessen, Wurzburgu i Berlinie. Po uzyskaniu dyplomu lekarza zamieszkał w Poznaniu. Został asystentem na oddziale internistycznym Szpitala Miejskiego. Na przełomie XIX i XX wieku został skierowany na Kujawy, aby przeciwdziałać epidemii duru plamistego. Następnie wrócił do Berlina i w latach 1902-1903 kontynuował studia. Opublikował kilka ważnych prac naukowych. Jego kariera została przerwana przez wielką osobistą tragedię — śmierć żony. Brał udział w podróży morskiej dookoła świata w charakterze lekarza pokładowego. Po kilku miesiącach podróżowania dotarł do Indii, gdzie prowadził prace badawcze wraz z francuskim bakteriologiem Lacoque’iem. Szczególne sukcesy odniósł w badaniach mikroba żółtej febry. Wyniki ich wspólnej pracy okazały się później bardzo pomocne w wyjaśnieniu wirusowej etiologii tej choroby oraz roli komarów w jej przenoszeniu. W drodze powrotnej do Polski doktor Drygas zachorował na zapalenie płuc i zmarł w Afryce 14 grudnia 1906 roku.

The city of Piła was a hometown of many eminent Polish people. The biography of the most meritorious priest is well-known. Pantaleon Wawrzyniec Szuman a famous lawyer and national worker, and Antoni Kiszewski, a pedagogue, are also very often mentioned. Doctor Arnold Drygas has not been given so much attention and regard. He was born in Piła in 1876. His life was full of tragic events. His father, Antoni was a teacher in a secondary school and the founder of Polish Industrialists Society. His sphere of activity concerned culture, education and patriotic work. Arnold Drygas studied medicine in Munich, Giessen, Wurzburg and Berlin. After he had obtained the doctor s degree, he settled down in Poznań. He became an assistant at the internal ward of the municipal hospital. At the turn of the 19th century, he was sent to Cuiavia to deal with the epidemic of typhus fever. He went back to Berlin and in the years 1902-1903 continued his studies. Arnold Drygas published several important scientific papers. His career was interrupted by the death of his wife — a great personal tragedy. He took part in a voyage around the world as a doctor on board. After a few months of travelling, he arrived in India, where, together with French bacteriologist Mr. Lacoque, did some research work. He was successful in research of the microbe of yellow fever. The effects of their joint work were later very helpful in explaining virus etiology of that disease and the role of mosquitoes in its dissemination. On his way back to Poland, doctor Drygas fell ill. He suffered from pneumonia and died in Africa on 14th December 1906.
