In the present article I examine autobiographical works in which writers reveal their illnesses. I am interested not so much in the description of a givenailment, but rather in the embroilment resulting from being ill and from the persistent conflict between memory and forgetting. Becoming aware of the illness turns out to be a critical point, forcing the writers to re-evaluate their own lives. Consequently, memory and forgetting assume a new status. I also attempt to juxtapose the universal nature of being ill and the intimacy of this experience; I point out the similarities and differences involved in dealing with illnesses, the common denominator of which seems to be the necessity of confronting the limits of memory and the expansiveness of forgetting.

Sensitive topics in qualitative fieldwork typically include health problems, sexual practices, addictions, illegal activity and death (Campbell 2002; Lee 1993; Liamputtong 2006). Yet, the situation of memories of intergroup violence committed by ingroup members on outgroups ‒ where a community is confronted with the fact that their fellow members have harmed members of other groups ‒ should also be considered as a sensitive topic. An especially sensitive situation occurs when research is conducted in a small community with relatively strong social control maintained through networks of relationships between its members. The aim of this paper is to explore the sensitivity of respondents in their remembering and forgetting of the harm done by members of their own group to the “Others” in local communities, to diagnose the difficulties in conducting fieldwork on this topic, and to present various methods of overcoming them. This article is based on experience from a project dedicated to the social memory of violence committed by Poles against members of other ethnic groups within local communities during World War II.

In their Testimony: Crises of Witnessing in Literature, Psychoanalysis and History, Felman and Laub associate the trauma narrative with a gap or omission: “The victim’s narrative – the very process of bearing witness to massive trauma – does indeed begin with someone who testifies to an absence, to an event that has not yet come into existence, in spite of the overwhelming and compelling nature of the reality of its occurrence” (Felman and Laub, 57). The event in which the traumatic experience is located cannot be accessed directly, but, as Caruth argues, “only in and through its inherent forgetting” (Caruth, 8). The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro begins with a hiatus expressed in the main character’s (Axl’s) realisation of the missing past that has disappeared from people’s memory. Embarking on a journey that proceeds across geographical and historical space, the narrative delves into private mental topographies and the post-apocalyptic debris. By trying to make sense of the landscape troubled by “inherent forgetting” and simultaneously testifying to “massive trauma”, the narrative of Ishiguro’s novel reveals the double process of coming to terms with loss and (the perpetrator/victim’s) traumatic experience. My objective is to examine the story of The Buried Giant as an instance of trauma narrative starting with an absence and a melancholic text revealing the complexity of the mourning process. In my study I primarily draw upon the narrative theories of trauma and its latency (Felman and Laub, Caruth), as well as the psychoanalytic concepts of incorporation and introjection (Abraham and Torok) to investigate the narrative and conceptual structures of loss in the novel.

One of the most important allegories of Daoism is the ‘Dream of the Butterfly’ in the second chapter of the Zhuangzi (Qi wu lun). Sometimes it is supposed to be a representation of all Daoist or even all Chinese philosophy in the West. This allegory encompasses fundamental Daoist notions, such as spontaneity, ‘free and easy wandering,’ non-action (wu wei), natural self-alternation (ziran), the no-perspective of a sage and the understanding of correlation between life and death. The purpose of this paper is a philosophical analysis of the relationship between illusion and real- ity in the Zhuangzi looking from the ‘Western’ perspective. To achieve this, I will review some of the most distinct English translations of the allegory that show possible multiple meanings of the allegory and many fundamentally different, sometimes opposite interpretations of it and discuss the significance of the relationship between illusion and reality. There is a huge body of academic literature about translating and interpreting the texts ascribed to the Zhuangzi. I will mention only some of the commentaries and will pay more attention to other stories of the Zhuangzi, looking there for the explication and explanation of the main ideas found in the ‘Dream of the Butterfly.’

The aim of the article was to present the beauty of aging heroes living in adreamlike and idealized worlds of Goran Petrovic’s prose, and to reveal the mechanism of beautifying the aging process itself by reffering to folklore, playing with stereotypes, and using strongly metaphoric language. Presented paper focuses on Petrovic’s interesting ways of showing the beauty hidden in old age, also pointing to forgetting names and words as the most important determinant of aging what indicates aclose connection between human existence and language (ontological status of language).

This study uses authentic interviews from field research into the Roma people of Slovakia to search for partial answers to questions concerning the functioning of collective and individual memory of the marginalised ethnic group that to this day almost exclusively leans on oral presentation instead of written recordings when sharing stories and experiences between generations. Witnesses to wartime events are dying out. Their stories need to be reinterpreted. They are too often lost, however, in the chasm of oblivion caused by ostracisation, neglected education, politics and, above all, poverty. The state has failed in the past and continues to fail today, albeit differently, by enabling the process of forgetting.

Recognition that societies will not be able to build a future as long as they do not face the ‘demons of the past’ has become a kind of universal truth over the last decades of the 20th Century (Gibney et al., 2008, p. 1). This view, though challenging and ambiguous, is reflected in the globally present attempts to improve or rebuild relations within and between different communities at the domestic and international level. The question concerning, on the one hand, the essence and most essential elements and, on the other hand, the instruments and the limitations of rebuilding relations, as well as the political implications of those processes have become the broad area of interest and the discourse leading to significantly different ideas and solutions. The article aims at presenting different approaches referring to dealing with the conflicted and traumatized past both at the domestic and international level. Some selected instruments and methods which enable movement from a divided past towards a common future are discussed namely the strategy of engagement with the past versus the strategy of avoidance of the past. The special attention is paid to the notion of reconciliation understood as a process of rebuilding of relations through the multi-dimensional transformation of former adversaries after the period of violence and repression.

During the transition from totalitarian regimes to democracy, new political systems have had to deal with the shadow of the past, with a wide choice of institutional mechanisms at their disposal. Too much, as well as too little, “memory” has long-term negative consequences for the quality of democracy. This study starts from Paul Ricœur‘s assumption about the role of balance between memory, responsibility and forgiveness, and truth, when building a democratic society. Ricœur’s conception of a just society and its narrative construction, which changes in time, serves as the framework for grasping the regime of memory and its tasks in the formation of such a society. The processes of transitional justice often focus on one of the key elements at the expense of another (for example, on the psychological help to victims at the expense of criminal law). The regime of memory is established in the first stages of the transition by the narrative agents of that time – it is formed by their values and strategic choices. In contemporary times it is interpreted and reconfigured by the emerging generation, whose priorities and values are formed by a different social context and who move and change it. Generational distance allows for a reconfiguration of the regime of memory and space and the possibility of approaching the ideal of the just society.

FR

Au moment du passage du régime totalitaire à la démocratie les nouveaux systèmes politiques doivent affronter l’ombre du passé – ils peuvent choisir dans une large palette de mécanismes institutionnels. Trop de mémoire tout comme trop de mémoire a, à long terme, des conséquences négatives pour la qualité de la démocratie. Ce travail part des considérations de paul Ricœur sur le rôle de l’équilibre entre la mémoire, la responsabilité, le pardon et la vérité dans la construction d’une société démocratique. La conception ricœurienne de la société de justice et de sa construction narrative qui varie dans le temps sert de cadre pour saisir le régime de mémoire et son rôle dans la fromation d’une nouvelle société. Les processus de la justice temporaire mettent souvent en avant un élément clé au détriment des autres (par exemple l’aide psychologique aux victimes au détriment de la responsabilité légale). Le régime de mémoire est établi narrativement au début de la transition par des acteurs d’une époque donnée, et il est formé par leurs valeurs et choix stratégiques. Actuellement il est interprété et refiguré par la génération suivante dont les priorités et les valeurs sont formées par un autre contexte social et qui le transforme. La distance générationnelle permet une refiguration du régime de mémoire et l’espace ou l’occasion de se rapprocher de l’idéal de la société de justice.

The importance of revising as a means of providing thorough learning and preserving knowledge and skills is grounded; the main studies on the problem mentioned above are analyzed; psychological conditions of organizing revising in primary education are revealed in the article. Memory as the result and the condition of mentalprocessing of new educational material on the basis of the analysis of the memory psychology literature is characterized in the article; the structure and content of the psychological processes providing memorizing, preserving the learned material, reproducing and forgetting are considered in detail as well. Revising is not limited to one function, as it is a complicated psychological process that includes perceiving, thinking, memory, which is associated with pupils’ feelings, will, interests and capacities. The factors promotingrapid and lasting memorizing of the information on the basis of research analysis are presented in the article. Taking into account that memorizing is realized through special mnemonic activities, the article deals with the role of mnemonic techniques aimed at: remembering the educational material, increasing the memorizing and reproducing speed; improving the accuracy of memorizing and reproducing; providing memorizing and preserving effectiveness, the probability of the correct memorizing and reproducing. The analysis of the data of the research experimental stage leads to the conclusion about the necessity to support active pupils’ thinking activities with the help of selecting specific exercises and tasks activating different kinds of memories – involuntary and voluntary. Under such conditions an effective basis for the effective using of revising during the educational process is created. The analysis of the psychological foundations of revising gives reason to emphasize the necessity of considering the peculiarities of development of cognitive processes in the organization of repetition. The perspective direction of the research is defined in the article which involves creating the model of supporting the functions of revising the learned material during various stages of gaining the knowledge by primary pupils taking into account the processes that are at the core of the revising mechanism.

In his hermeneutics of memory, Ricoeur points to the dialectic character of the interrelation between remembering and forgetting. He abandons an understanding of forgetting as limited only to oblivion, or to deletion in the Bergsonian use of the term. He supplants the negativity of forgetting by the productivity of disremembering, and stretches forgetting to its reserve, to the dynamic unveiling of the details of past events, with varied degrees of truthfulness and accuracy. This article attempts to demonstrate that the positivity of forgetting in the context of reconciliation is a tangible possibility. Forgetting is viewed here as a positive, constructive faculty, which influences the future, makes it possible to create and shape it, and is opposed to a slavish adherence to memory anchored wholly in the past. The totality of the anchorage in the past results in an exclusive focus on remembering, and causes the impasse of being entrapped in a disconsolate past. We ascertain that forgetting is not a failure but rather a productive possibility, either self- -creative or purgative, to educate oneself and the Other towards a more promising future.

Knowledge is an important juridical fact of civil law. In this article, I analyse some general issues associated with the role of knowledge in the civil law, especially in the Civil Code. Firstly, I introduce basic definition of the concept of knowledge; however, I also argue that the purpose of individual norms that tie legal consequences to knowledge (knowledge norms) can require different interpretation of this concept. Substantial differences in the understanding of the concept of knowledge usually cannot be inferred from differences in wording of various provisions of the Civil Code, as these dissimilarities result predominantly from attempted stylistic variation. Exception to this is the key dichotomy between positive (real) and normative (legally construed) knowledge which is consistently reflected in the text of the Civil Code. As a result of the anchoring of the general rule in § 4 subs. 2 CC, stating that knowledge should be assessed objectively, norms based on normative knowledge outnumber norms based on real knowledge in the Czech law. Nevertheless, the purpose of a particular knowledge norm can justify disapplication of § 4 subs. 2 CC and strict association of legal consequences with positive knowledge. The article further deals with specific evidential problems arising from the necessity to produce proof of positive knowledge, with relevance of loss of knowledge (forgetting) and with the proposition that knowledge of a certain fact could be equated with the possession of the source of information concerning the fact in question.

Vědění je významnou občanskoprávní skutečností. V tomto článku rozebírám některé obecné otázky, jež se pojí s rolí vědění v občanském právu, zejména v občanském zákoníku. Předně zavádím základní vymezení pojmu vědění, avšak současně argumentuji, že si smysl a účel jednotlivých norem navazujících právní následky na vědění (vědomostních norem) může žádat odlišnou interpretaci daného pojmu. Na obsahové rozdíly v chápání pojmu vědění zpravidla nelze usuzovat z odlišností ve formulaci ustanovení občanského zákoníku, jež povětšinou vyplývají jen ze snahy o stylistickou variaci. Výjimku zde tvoří klíčové rozlišení mezi pozitivním (skutečným) věděním a normativním (právně konstruovaným) věděním, jež je důsledně promítnuto i do textu občanského zákoníku. V důsledku zakotvení obecného pravidla o objektivizaci posuzovaní vědění do § 4 odst. 2 o. z. převažují v českém soukromém právu normy akcentující normativní vědění nad normami vycházejícími z vědění skutečného. Smysl a účel konkrétní vědomostní normy nicméně může vyžadovat vyloučení aplikace § 4 odst. 2 o. z. a důsledné sepětí právních následků toliko s pozitivním věděním. Článek dále pojednává o specifických důkazních obtížích, jež se pojí zejména s dokazováním pozitivního vědění, o právní relevanci ztráty znalosti (zapomnění) a o návrhu, že by vědění o určité právní skutečnosti mohla být postavena naroveň pouhá kontrola nad zdrojem informací o této skutečnosti.

The article presents the problem of memory in relevance to the phenomenon of forgetting, which appears to be an important condition for the formation of a nation, national memory, national identity and national character. The nation is a solidarity based on democratic expression of will. As a spiritual principle, the nation consists of two elements: one in the past, the other in the future. It is emphasized that it is forgetting, not the intention to the truth, forms the basis of the construction of national memory. The idea that the nation is an “imagined community”, which is thought of as a strong, horizontally organized society, is analyzed. It was the feeling of fraternal unity that compelled millions and millions of people not only to kill, but to die for the sake of imagined creations. Self-image as a nation is the result of a large-scale historiographical campaign conducted by the state and a mechanism for constructing national genealogies. The requirement to “forget” indicates that a person “remembers” and is capable of “memories”. It is argued that “fratricides” are as important to the nation’s existence as narratives of past peaceful coexistence. Seven types of forgetting are distinguished, three of which are considered positive practices of “successful forgetting”: “forgetting by order”; “amnesty”; “institutional oblivion”. Negative types include: “cancellation”; “repressive destruction”; “planned obsolescence”; “silence of humiliation and shame”. There are two counterparties of memory and forgetting: the state and society. State memory cultivates secrecy and protects the foundations of its existence through oblivion. Society’s memory is in constant motion and always strives for oblivion. The element of forgetting in historical memory determines the process of formation of national consciousness as a condition of national identity. What is important is not the imperative of “memory”, but its content. It is in this context that the national memory of the people is formed and affirmed.

У статті поставлена проблема пам’яті у співмірності з феноменом забуття, що постає важливою умовою формування нації, національної пам’яті, національної ідентичності та національного характеру. Нація являє собою солідарність, засновану на демократичному волевиявленні. Як духовний принцип, нація складається з двох елементів: один – в минулому, другий – в майбутньому. Підкреслюється, що саме забуття, а не прагнення до істини, складає основу конструювання національної пам’яті. Аналізується думка, що нація є «уявленою спільнотою», котра мислиться як міцне, горизонтально організоване товариство. Саме почуття братерської єдності змушувало мільйони й мільйони людей не лише вбивати, а йти на смерть заради уявлених витворів. Уявлення себе нацією є результатом масштабної історіографічної кампанії, яку проводить держава, і механізмом конструювання національних генеалогій. Вимога «забути» свідчить про те, що людина «пам’ятає» і здатна до «спогадів». Стверджується, що для існування нації «братовбивства» також важливі, як і наративи про минуле мирне співіснування. Виділено сім типів забуття, три з яких розглядаються як позитивні практики «успішного забуття»: «забуття по розпорядженню»; «амністія»; «установче забуття». До негативних типів відносяться: «анулювання»; «репресивне знищення»; «заплановане устаріння»; «мовчання приниження і сорому». Виділяють два контрагенти пам’яті і забуття: державу і суспільство. Державна пам’ять культивує секретність і захищає основи свого існування за допомогою забуття. Пам’ять суспільства перебуває в постійному русі і завжди прагне до безпам’ятства. Елемент забуття в історичній пам’яті обумовлює процес формування національної свідомості як умови національної ідентичності. Важливим є не імператив «пам’яті», а її зміст. Саме в такому контексті формується і стверджується національна пам’ять народу.

Among the traumas associated with the First World War, Giraudoux was particularly sensitive to amnesia, to the point of making it the main subject of a novel: Siegfried et le Limousin. Adapted to the scene in 1928, this novel contributed to author’s fame and inaugurated his collaboration with Louis Jouvet. In fact, the principle of forgetfulness persists throughout the whole Giraudoux’s work: comical, dramatic or poetic, and it is also the main pretext for a meditation on memory.

This paper deals with the theme of memory in the novel Mémoires d ’un ange maladroit by Francis Dannemark, a Belgian author writing in French. In order to verify the hypothesis that the writer succeeds in depicting the complex functioning of memory, we examine writing techniques, narrative devices and numerous metaphorical constructions used by the author, and describe them, taking into consideration “memory authorities” (author, hero, reader). The analysis proves that the novel is not a simple variation on memory and its mechanisms but also contains essential observations on the writing process, including the play with the fictionality of a literary work, and on the act of reading. Recollection, memoirs writing, novel writing, reading: all these activities resemble a puzzle.

L’article traite du thème de la mémoire dans le roman Mémoires d’un ange maladroit de Francis Dannemark, auteur belge francophone. Pour vérifier l’hypothèse avancée que Dannemark réussit à illustrer le fonctionnement complexe de la mémoire, nous soumettons à l’examen les techniques de l’écriture, les dispositifs narratifs et de nombreuses constructions métaphoriques employées par l’auteur, et nous les décrivons en fonction des « instances mémorielles » (auteur, personnage, lecteur). Il se révèle que le roman n’est pas une simple variation sur le thème de la mémoire, ses mécanismes, mais qu’il contient une importante réflexion sur le processus de l’écriture, le jeu avec la fictivité de l’œuvre littéraire comprise, et l’acte de la lecture. Rappeler des souvenirs, rédiger des mémoires, écrire un roman et le lire, toutes ces activités ressemblent à un puzzle à reconstituer.

Childhood and youth are an important theme/topic in Fredro’s diary from the Napoleonic era. In this article, I intend to reconstruct the specificity and analyse the memory of images of childhood in its most crucial liminal phases in Trzy po trzy (Topsy Turvy Talk). The aim is to discuss this text, which constitutes the sum of genres (storytelling, diary, etc.), deciphering how the author starts remembering and forgetting. How he activates the category of “vertical memory” (Proust), which guarantees the veracity of recollection, emanating from within the recollector, for whom the “immaterial” senses of smell, sight, hearing allow memory, through sensory association, to “recollect” the essentials of childhood.

Celem jest omówienie tego stanowiącego sumę gatunków (gawęda, pamiętnik, i in.) tekstu, deszyfrujące, jak autor uruchamia pamiętanie i zapominanie. Jak uruchamia on kategorię „pamięć wertykalna” (Proust), dającą gwarancję prawdziwości wspomnienia, wydobywającego się z wnętrza wspominającego, dla którego „niematerialne” zmysły woni, wzroku, słuchu pozwalają pamięci przez asocjację czuciową „odpominać” to, co istotne z dzieciństwa.

Chcę przyjrzeć się temu, jak autor konstruuje swoją narrację, w jaki sposób dotyka problemu Zagłady i poszukiwania własnych korzeni przez przedstawicieli kolejnych pokoleń potomków ocalonych.

Konteksty interpretacyjne zaczerpnęłam między innymi z pracy Kai Kaźmierskiej Biografia i pamięć na przykładzie pokoleniowego doświadczenia ocalonych z Zagłady, która analizuje zjawisko powrotu do miejsca urodzenia jako spełnienia przymusu biograficznego badanych, oraz z prac Marianne Hirsch, twórczyni pojęcia postpamięci.

In the article I analyze a bestseller American novel published in Polish by WAB publishing house: Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. I want to look into the way the author constructs his narration, how he addresses the issue of Holocaust and the issue of searching for one’s roots by members of next generations of the descendants of survivors. The novel is an important example of the new literary way of dealing with the topic of Holocaust. The interpretation contexts were drawn from, among others, work by Kaja Kaźmierska entitled Biography and Memory. The Generational Experience of the Shoah Survivor, in which the author analyses the phenomenon of returning to one’s place of birth as a biographical compulsion of the subjects of the study, as well as works of Marianne Hirsch, the creator of the term ‘postmemory’.
