Traditionally, the basic qualities of imagology are associated with its key category-the literary ethnic character. A special field of imagological improvisations is the Serbian novel, which, according to well-known national experience and specific genre features, is favorable for ethnic panoramic imagological reactions, especially when it comes to the mid-20th – early 21st century. The aimof the research is to single out in chronological supposition the poetics of the literary presentation of the phenomenon of Ukraine in the Serbian novelistic discourse at the turn of the millennium. The research is based on comparative, comparative-typological, imagological methods in combination with approaches of structural-semantic and archetypal analysis. In the stated imagological perspective, the novels by I. Andrić, M. Crnjanski, M. Oljača, M. Selimović, G. Petrović, M. Prodanović and М. Pavić are analyzed. The works highlight semantic accents that emphasize the positive imagological view of Ukraine from its foreign ethnic reception, formed in genetically related – Serbian – literature, the tolerance of the Serbian people in creating subjective ethnic panoramas, indispensable for the evolutionary enrichment of intercultural communication based on epistemological heritage.

At first sight it appears that Miłosz’s poetry shares many features with modernist and post-modernist poetics. One of its main themes is the impossibility of verifying the veracity of man’s sensual impressions (i.e. their referring to an ‘external’ world), which seems to un-dermine the traditional concept of literature as ‘mimesis’. However, Miłosz expressly reject-ed the postmodernist point of view that literature as ‘mimesis’ is merely a textual effect. Even when the speakers in his poems expressly deny the possibility of recreating the exter-nal world of man’s sense-impressions by means of language, they seem to achieve the very thing they wanted to deny. One of Miłosz’s favourite devices in the poetry of his middle period was the so-called ‘irony of self-betrayal’. But this negative way of affirming the cove-nant between the self and the world did not satisfy him in the long run. Wishing to over-come the antinomies of mimesis he attempted to work out a poetical strategy allowing him to describe the astonishing richness of being more directly. This strategy required a meta-physical justification. The veracity of man’s sensual and intellectual involvement with the world turned out to be rooted in the religious perspective of ‘apokatastasis’. ‘Time past’ and ‘time present’ are one in a process that both redeems and transcends time, without annihilat-ing the moments of which it consists. Miłosz’s long poems of the sixties and seventies should therefore not be simply understood as ‘literature’ or independent ‘works of art’ (poésie pure) that could be separated from other forms of being. In fact they are part of a process of redemption that occurs ‘here and now’, although it remains unclear when it will be completed. For that reason Miłosz’s longer poems should be read as ‘open texts’ or – but in a sense opposite to the postmodernist idea of ‘unfinishedness’ – ‘work in progress’. They purport to present the manifold phenomena of a man’s existential autobiography simultaneously.

The main focus the paper investigates concerns Polish-German relations from the perspective of imagology. The author of the article concentrates on the stereotype of the polish economy and compares it with the imagological standpoint by analyzing two chosen publications: „Viva Polonia. Als deutscher Gastarbeiter in Polen” by Steffen Möller and „Polen” by Thomas Urban. The above-mentioned analysis should lead to an answer for the following question: can the way of perceiving of the Polish economy be modified by means of well-known authors?

The author, asking about relations between imagology and translation, is looking for an answer on the example of Polish translations of Czech literature (Hašek, Hrabal, Havel). These relations should be found in the process of translation (selection of a specific work and translator, publication and promotion, other conditioning factors, etc.), as well as in the translated text (its textual, editorial and iconographic aspects), and also in the reception process of the translated text (reviews and studies, adaptations, „canonization” and its role in the educational process, etc.). Close relation between translation and imagology, resulting largely from the „invisibility of the translator” adopted in our cultures (Venuti 1995), should therefore be one of the areas of posthuman research.

Autorka, stawiajac pytanie o związki, jakie zachodzą pomiędzy imagologią a przekładem, poszukuje odpowiedzi na przykładzie polskich przekładów dzieł literatury czeskiej (Hašek, Hrabal, Havel). Związki te widzieć należy tak w procesie przekładu (wybór konkretnego dzieła i tłumacza, działania wydawnictwa i promocja, inne czynniki warunkujące itd.), jak i w dziele przetłumaczonym (aspekty tekstowe, edytorskie i ikonograficzne), a również w procesie odbioru i recepcji tłumaczenia (recenzje i opracowania, adaptacje, „kanonizowanie się” i związana z tym rola w procesie edukacyjnym itp.). Bliskie związki przekładu i imagologii, wynikające w znacznym stopniu z przyjętej w naszych kulturach „niewidzialności tłumacza” (Venuti 1995), powinny więc stanowić jeden z obszarów badań posthumanistyki.

The article discusses Mickiewicz’s imagological discourse. It served to construct projects related to culture and literature and more broadly to the identity relating to the vision of Poland and Slavia. This discourse is changing and heterogeneous. It involves not only a reflection of the romantic thinking about the nation and nationalities but also the testimony of inventing national traditions under oppression, threats of nation deprived of state existence.
PL
Artykuł poświęcony jest Mickiewiczowskiemu dyskursowi imagologicznemu. Służył on poecie do konstruowania projektów – tak związanych z kulturą oraz literaturą, jak i szerzej: tożsamościowych, odnoszących się do wizji Polski i Słowiańszczyzny. Dyskurs ten ma charakter zmienny i heterogeniczny. Stanowi nie tylko odbicie romantycznego myślenia o narodzie i narodowości, ale i świadectwo wynajdywania tradycji narodowej w sytuacji opresji, zagrożenia egzystencji narodu pozbawionego państwa.

The “Friend or Foe” conception is an integral component of formation of each society. This binary archetype is the object of study of several scientific disciplines and sometimes appears in their interface. It gives the opportunity to use different methodology to study its manifestations. This article examines this concept during the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine (November 2013 February 2014), its manifestations in the dichotomy of binaries, erasing of their usual limits, uniting the former opponents under the banner of dignity, creating the new “Friend or Foe” binaries etc. The material for the study is the oral histories of participants and witnesses of the Revolution of Dignity, gathered in the first book of “Maidan. Direct speech”. The respondents are the representatives of different ages, professions, religions, social strata etc., thus giving a retrospective picture for research. There are clear “Friend or Foe” oppositions, represented with the negative opposition of Maidan members to police force, government, titushkas, pro-government press; Maidan to Anti-Maidan etc. The oppositions inside the Maydan (for example, different hundreds or locations) have different connotations: “Friend or Stranger” with neutral or positive context. Special attention is given to markers that allowed to recognize “friends” between the Maidan members. The article text is supplemented by quotes from the aforementioned collection of interviews. The style of speech of the 166 respondents is preserved. This research may be useful for the specialists of different humanitarian scientific disciplines.

Imagologia a konstruktywizm

The author considers the problem of creating images, namely its psychological and ontological aspects. Based on the assumption that mental representation is not a mimetic reproduction of objective reality, but a reference to mutually imputed collective knowledge, the author discusses various factors of this situation. The concept proposed by the author is based on presumption that the measure of the compatibility of the image and its designate is the content dispersion occurring in society, i.e. the number of different points of view. In the constructivist model, imaging is based on communication as a modus of the social system, in this case there is a diversification of viewpoints, and the compatibility of the image with its designate is close to 0.

The research presented in this article demonstrates the application of the imagological method to an analysis of the portrayal of interconfessional relations in 17th-century Dutch religious polemic literature by a Roman Catholic author, the priest Joannes Stalpart van der Wiele. The aim of this research is above all to identify how informal contacts between Catholics and non-Catholics were depicted in a literary discourse. The analysis focuses on Stalpart’s two texts, Roomsche reijs (Journey to Rome) and Extractum katholicum (Catholic extract), to identify images which may be classified as showing “interconfessional conviviality” and omgangsoecumene, twin concepts postulated by Willem Frijhoff. By pointing to the existence of themes related to religious toleration in the work of Stalpart van der Wiele, an author not associated with such ideas, a change of emphasis in the image of his oeuvre may be achieved.

Olga Tokarczuk’s writings are preoccupied with the entropy-ridden world. Tokarczuk renders this world in polyphonic images, and her protagonists seek to establish their identities by redefining their relation to it. In Flights, a prominent place on this world’s map is ascribed to Holland, whose image, when studied through the lens of imagology, turns out to be a space of knowledge and cognitive receptivity. Organised within the framework of selective attention, the representation of Holland is focused on perception of the narrator and of the protagonists, which conveys the attitude to the world identified with the text. Examination of the literary vision of the Netherlands and Dutch culture reveals Tokarczuk’s strategy of foregrounding selected enclosed spaces (interiors) which serve as the loci of knowledge (Verheyen’s study, De Waag and Ruysch’s home). Such a portrayal of Holland is underpinned by self-images exemplified in ideas developed by philosophers linked to this country (Descartes and Spinoza) and in art, with which the writer engages in dialogue. Explored in imagological terms, the representation of the Netherlands is a non-stereotypical vision constructed through references to an array of cultural expressions produced by the Dutch, in which the past co-generates a palimpsestic picture of the present.

In the tradition of imagology, as it was elaborated in the works of V. Todorov and Z. Urban, the author presents an image of the Czech community living in a village of Vojvodovo in Bulgaria from the beginning of the 20th century till 1950, as it was seen through the eyes of their neighbors. As a source the author uses published texts as well as unpublished memoirs dealing with Vojvodovo, and testimonies gathered during his fieldwork in Vojvodovo in a period 1997–2009. Derived from the mentioned sources, the final image of the Czechs in Vojvodovo is very positive. It presents them as a noticeably united group of puritans, who were industrious in an exemplary manner, primarily peasants, nevertheless very good traders, neat and culturally advanced, honest and willing, which made them good neighbors, except the fact that they were not very hospital to strangers.

The paper focuses on an analysis of the images of Finland, Sweden and Russia in Nestor Kukolnik’s short novel Yegor Ivanovich Silvanovskiy, ili zavoyevaniye Finlyandii pri Petre Velikom using an imagological approach. The analysis shows that the images are based on stereotypes already existing in Russian literature but are also determined by the current imperial ideology.

In the middle of the 16th century many people left the Low Countries for England as a result of religious persecution and economic hardship. Several thousand of these people, mainly from the Southern Netherlands, went to Norwich, the second largest city in England. Some of them wrote letters to friends and family members whom they left behind in the Low Countries, which indicate that they valued the religious freedom and economic opportunities in Norwich. This suggests that they had a positive image of the local English people. However, if one looks at official English documents, the picture is more mixed. While some English valued the economic contribution that the migrants made, others were concerned about the effect on the local workforce, and measures were taken to restrict their economic activities. Furthermore, some people in Norwich had Catholic sympathies and this was an important motivating factor in a plot to eject the migrants from the city, which ultimately failed. In short, this article uses the situation in Norwich in the late 16th century as a case study for exploring how different sources can create contrasting images of how one group of people views another.

It has been two decades since Słownik literatury popularnej edited by Tadeusz Żabski and the monography of Anna Martuszewska on the meaning of popular literature were published, and we are today pleased to notice that “the third kind” has not only provided space for scientific discourse, but has also become one of the leading objects of reflection and didactics in the academic world. Despite constant efforts to build coherent and possibly capacious methodological apparatus to study popular literature, it is still hard to find a universal key to conducting research in this scope. This certainly is a consequence of reaching out to various disciplines and instruments developed by various methodologies, enforced by broad spectrum of influence of popular literature: from the text itself to all kinds of artistic forms (graphic arts, comics, cinema, media, new media) and cultural practices (ritualization, theater, performance). One of the research proposals is cultural comparability, enrooted in the American school of comparative study, which analyses the text within its entire cultural image. The point of interest is the moment of “reading” literary, cultural phenomena as well as other human activities in the world, based on their interactions. Comparability uses tools developed on the grounds of post-structural literary studies to confront the text with other cultural narratives, thus opening it in a discursive manner to other than literary interpretative contexts, which manifest their creative power and vitality.

In the 19th century, Hungarian and Slovak literature markedly specified and acquired contrasting features. The author states that in the Hungarian literature, especially in prose, Slovaks tend to represent folk types with the prevailing peasant archetype. Hungarians formed the upper class of the society until the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918 which also impacted the choice of literary protagonists and environments. The author of this study examines the image of Hungarians in Slovak prose the image of Slovaks in Hungarian prose. Consequently, he has created a typology of characters and environments in an attempt to apply imagology when comparing literary works of Hungarian and Slovak origin.

The Western view of the Balkans is, according to many researchers, synonymous with a stereotypical approach and ignorance regarding the history and culture of the nations inhabiting the Balkan Peninsula. The controversies could even refer to the names of individual Balkan communities that were and still are understood very differently. One example of such ambiguity is the name “Morlachs” i.e. “Black Vlachs”, which in reality was used to describe the Slavs of Dalmatia. This paper investigates the abovementioned issue on the example of the French encyclopedic sources, which are representative of the times in which they were created, as they were synthetic, and were intended for a wide audience. The form of the encyclopedic definition assumed synthesis, the gathering and summarizing the existing information. However, the French dictionaries and encyclopedias in the 18th and 19th century were not really able to synthesize known information about Dalmatian Slavs called by the name of Morlachs. Besides few exceptions, the explanations given by the dictionaries were imprecise, sometimes erroneous, referring to the past rather than to the present. In the light of the above, the statement that the French Enlightenment was one of the foundations on which the later stereotypical image of the Balkans emerged, seems justified.

This paper focuses on the issues of the mediating role of English language and specific accents in the process of communication between Canadians and migrants from Europe. The author uses methods of close reading to reveal a variety of specific social patterns illustrating different levels of interpersonal attitudes in dialogues with migrants on the material of short stories from the collection Runaway (2004) by Alice Munro. While depicting Aliens, the writer utilises speech characterization as one of the most important artistic tools. Furthermore, in the short stories by Alice Munro, an attitude to people who speak differently becomes a “litmus paper” to portray the decaying intellectual life of the New World.

The article presents an overview of the issues discussed in Tomasz Ewertowski’s monograph Images of China in Polish and Serbian Travel Writings (1720–1949). It reconstructs the discourse that emerges from the journals as their authors report on their journeys to the Middle Kingdom. The article also analyses the conditioning of the presented attitudes in the context of individual experience. Using imagology-based tools, Ewertowski refers to the mental representations of reality recorded in the text in the form of stereotypically formed ethnotypes. Ewertowski creates a mosaic of the way travellers from the West imagined both Chinese cities and the characteristic features of Far Eastern culture, which is often marked by Eurocentrism and an evaluating attitude towards the Other.

Over the last 20 years, literary nonfiction has become increasingly popular among the Dutch reading public. Thanks to increasing sales, translations and literary awards the genre achieved a strong position in Dutch literature. This article analyzes the image of Central and Eastern European countries in Dutch literary nonfiction of the last ten years (2004-14). It searches for characteristics of an orientalist and balkanist discourse and the presence of the imagological centre-periphery model in the works of Geert Mak, Jelle Brandt Corstius, Olaf Koens, Joop Verstraten and Jan Brokken. Contemporary Dutch literary nonfiction contains a euro-orientalist discourse. Characteristics such as underdevelopment, hedonism, obscurity and authenticity are projected on Central and Eastern Europe, which is put in the periphery of Western Europe.
